Belere Hotel Rabat: A Haven of Peace in the Heart of the Moroccan Capital

Belere Hotel Rabat avis

As an experienced traveler who regularly visits Rabat, I’ve had the opportunity to stay at the Belere Hotel Rabat multiple times. Strategically located in the city center, this establishment offers a rare combination of proximity to tourist attractions and contemporary comfort. After my multiple stays, I can honestly say that the Belere Hotel Rabat represents an excellent accommodation choice for those looking to explore the Moroccan capital while enjoying a quality hotel experience.

Overview Belere Hotel Rabat

The Belere Hotel Rabat stands as a reference establishment with its elegant architecture and panoramic view of the city. What immediately struck me during my first stay was the harmonious blend of modern comfort with subtle touches of traditional Moroccan design. The hotel features spacious rooms, all equipped with efficient air conditioning, television with international channels, free Wi-Fi (particularly effective, even during peak hours), a complimentary minibar stocked with non-alcoholic beverages, and—what I particularly appreciated—a private balcony.

The common areas are elegantly appointed, with a welcoming lobby and a panoramic terrace offering breathtaking views of the city. I was initially skeptical about the quality of service in a hotel of this category in Rabat, but I must say that the Belere team pleasantly surprised me with their professionalism and constant availability.

Belere Hotel Rabat Location and Accessibility

If location is a decisive criterion for you, the Belere Hotel Rabat definitely scores points. Located just 500 meters from the city center, the hotel enjoys a strategic position that makes it an excellent starting point for exploring Rabat.
The Rabat Ville train station is just 300 meters from the property, which is particularly convenient if you’re planning excursions to other Moroccan cities like Casablanca or Fez. This proximity allowed me to save considerably on taxi fares during my stay.

The surrounding neighborhood is lively but not noisy, with several cafes and restaurants in the immediate vicinity (notably Café Segafredo and Casa José less than 150 meters away). For culture enthusiasts, the medina and several historic mosques are within walking distance. The Jardin d’Essais is 1.7 km away, the Hassan Tower is 1.9 km away, and the majestic Kasbah of the Oudayas is 2.1 km away—all easily accessible on foot or by a short taxi ride.

Belere Hotel Facilities and Services

During my various stays, I had the opportunity to thoroughly explore the facilities and services of the Belere Hotel Rabat, and I can testify to their quality and diversity.
The rooms are certainly one of the establishment’s highlights. Available in several categories (Double, Twin Beds, and Suite), they are all spacious and well-equipped. The bedding is comfortable, with quality linens that guarantee restful sleep. The private bathrooms are modern, with complimentary toiletries, bathrobes, and even bidets—a special touch that I appreciated. Some rooms offer an impressive view of the Royal Palace garden, which I highly recommend requesting when booking.
Dining is another area where the Belere truly excels. The hotel has three distinct restaurants:

“La Table des Saveurs,” offering refined local and international cuisine
A restaurant featuring authentic Moroccan specialties where I was able to taste an extraordinary lamb tagine
A Spanish restaurant that offers a welcome break for palates seeking variety

The breakfast, served buffet-style, deserves special mention. With vegetarian, vegan, and halal options, it caters to all dietary requirements. I particularly enjoyed the fresh pastries and traditionally prepared mint tea. Despite a rating of 6.5/10 according to customer evaluations, I personally found the breakfast more than satisfactory, especially considering the diversity of options available.
The bar offers a selection of non-alcoholic drinks and cocktails that can be enjoyed on the panoramic terrace—an ideal place to relax after a day of exploration. It became my daily ritual during my stay to begin the evening with a mint tea on this terrace, admiring the sunset over Rabat.
In terms of services, the hotel offers:

A 24-hour reception with multilingual staff
Efficient room service
A concierge service for organizing activities or transfers
An airport shuttle (for an additional fee) to Rabat-Salé Airport or even to Casablanca’s Mohammed V International Airport
Free private parking, which is a considerable advantage if you’re traveling by car

For activities, the Belere offers bike rentals, guided walking tours, and even cooking classes (for an additional fee)—an excellent way to immerse yourself in the local culture. Additionally, the hotel can organize excursions to nearby points of interest

Our Experience

I stayed at the Belere Hotel Rabat for five days in April 2025, and this experience left a lasting impression on me. Here’s a day-by-day overview of my stay:

Day 1: Upon arrival, I was greeted by smiling and efficient staff. The check-in process went smoothly, and I was accompanied to my double room with a view of the Royal Palace garden. The first impression was excellent, with an impeccably clean room and a small basket of fresh fruit as a welcome gift. After settling in, I explored the immediate surroundings and discovered the charming Café Balima just 300 meters from the hotel.

Day 2: The breakfast buffet exceeded my expectations, with an impressive variety of hot and cold dishes. I particularly enjoyed the msemen (Moroccan crepes) prepared on site. I then took advantage of the hotel’s bike rental service (28 € for the day) to explore the surroundings, notably the Jardin d’Essais 1.7 km away—a true haven of peace with its shaded paths and exotic plants.

Day 3: I initially had doubts about the quality of the hotel’s Moroccan restaurant, generally preferring to dine at local establishments. But after a busy day visiting the Kasbah of the Oudayas, I decided to try the hotel restaurant and was not disappointed. The chicken tagine with preserved lemons was authentic and delicious, certainly comparable to what I’ve tasted in the best restaurants in the medina.

Day 4: I booked an excursion to the Maamoura forest through the concierge service. The booking process was simple, and the guide provided by the hotel was extremely knowledgeable and passionate. Back at the hotel, I enjoyed the panoramic terrace to admire the sunset over the city—a memorable moment of my stay.

Day 5: Before my departure, I experienced the “late checkout” offered by the hotel (for an additional 30 €), which allowed me to enjoy my room until 3:00 PM instead of 11:00 AM. This service was particularly useful to me since my flight wasn’t departing until evening. The staff efficiently organized my transfer to Rabat-Salé Airport (300 MAD, about 28 €).

 

Value for Money

In terms of value for money, the Belere Hotel Rabat positions itself very favorably compared to other establishments in its category in Rabat. With rates ranging between 85 € and 120 € per night depending on the season and room type, the hotel offers excellent value for money, especially considering the central location and quality of the facilities.
To put things in perspective, I have stayed at other hotels in Rabat in the same price range, and the Belere clearly stands out for the size of its rooms and the quality of its service. Comparable hotels in the city center tend to offer smaller rooms or less comprehensive facilities for a similar price.
What truly adds to the value of the stay are the little extras included:

The free minibar with non-alcoholic drinks
Free private parking
High-speed Wi-Fi throughout the establishment
The panoramic view from the terrace

For comparison, other 4-star hotels in Rabat generally charge extra for these services. If you consider that the buffet breakfast costs about 12 € per person (which is reasonable for the diversity offered), the package constitutes a very competitive offer.
During high season (April-May and September-October), I recommend booking at least 3 weeks in advance to benefit from the best rates, as the hotel, thanks to its popularity with regular travelers, is often fully booked.

Who Is It Ideal For?

After several stays, I’ve observed that the Belere Hotel Rabat is particularly well-suited to certain traveler profiles:

Business travelers will appreciate the central location, reliable Wi-Fi connection, and equipped business center. I noticed several conferences and business meetings during my stay, all perfectly organized by the hotel team. If you’re coming to Rabat for a professional appointment in the administrative center, you’ll be less than 10 minutes away by taxi.

Couples will find a romantic setting in this hotel, particularly thanks to the panoramic terrace and rooms with a view of the Royal Palace garden. The room service and hushed atmosphere of the restaurants also make it a wise choice for a romantic stay.

First-time tourists to Rabat will benefit from the strategic location, with most tourist attractions accessible on foot or by a short journey. The staff, very familiar with tourist questions, can provide valuable advice and detailed maps of the city.

Transit travelers will appreciate the proximity to the train station (300 m) and the airport shuttle service, which greatly facilitates travel. If you’ve planned a one-night stopover in Rabat before continuing to Fez or Marrakech, the Belere is particularly convenient.

On the other hand, the hotel might be less suitable for families with young children, as specific facilities for children are limited. Similarly, travelers seeking a traditional riad experience may be disappointed by the more contemporary and international architecture of the Belere.

It’s worth noting that the Belere Hotel Rabat is also popular for professional events, with meeting rooms suitable for different configurations. With its central position and modern equipment, it’s a wise choice for corporate seminars seeking a compromise between a professional setting and proximity to cultural attractions.
