“Great first impression”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 19, 2012

Stayed here the first night of our trip. The courtyard was gorgeous! We loved the seating, the lighting, just everything. We stayed in La Favorite which had one bed on the main level and upstairs had a second bedroom and bathroom. The bathroom was really cool, except of course I hit my head on the entry decor (was a little low). We ate dinner here and it was just excellent. Breakfast was very filling and the staff was wonderful.

“Beautiful!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 5, 2012

We stayed here on our first night in Morocco. We arrived after dark and the Riad was beautiful and calming. The lights were dim and we loved the way the lace patterns of the lights reflected on the walls. (we might have been slightly delirious from travel). Our room was "La Favorite" on the first floor. It was wonderful. There is a full bed downstairs and a full bed and bath upstairs. The beds were very comfortable. The room was nicely decorated and the bathroom was lovely. The water was nice and hot and the pressure was excellent. Our guide phoned ahead and let the Riad know we would be eating dinner with them. The food was excellent. I had the chicken tangine. It was melt in your mouth good. Breakfast was also very good and included bread, crepes, hard boiled eggs, fruit and an aray of jams and honey. I would defintely stay here again. I can't speak to the location other than it was in the Medina. We left by about 9:30 in the morning and didn't explore much in the immediate area.

“Perfection”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 4, 2012

This was simply the best way to round off a trip to Morocco. We just loved the relaxed style and ambience. It's not as grand or tiled or crafted as the riads we stayed at in Marrakech and Fes. But this place just oozed tranquilty. The relaxing courtyard, the stunning roof terrace, the ambient jazz in the background just all contributed to a soothing atmosphere. And the food's great too. The seafood menu is excellent. For a Moroccan riad the decor is almost minimalist but works effectively. It's also easy to find from Bab Latour just by the Kasbah and makes a great base for exploring the Medina and for walking on the corniche. Woud definitely stay here again.

“Our first Riad is a good one”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 3, 2012

Riad Kalaa was the first riad we stayed at on our Moroccan trip and it was a good place to start.
The owners and the staff are all of French origin and spoke varying degrees of English so my schoolboy french had to kick in .
The riad is very stylish and well appointed . We had a room on to top of the building which mean't climbing up stairs (something we became accustom to in Morocco) but this wasn't a problem.
We had dinner at the Riad which was fine and we were able to get a drink there too. Breakfast the next day was the typical breads with spreads,juice and coffee.
All in all we were very haapy at the Riad Kalaa and recommend it for a stay
