We stayed a couple of nights at the riad and it was absolutely fantastic. Thanks to Amine and the staff, we fell at home at every moment. Amine was also very convenient and gave us an insightful overview of the highlights of the city when we arrived and throughout all of our stay. The breakfast was also amazing. We will definitely come back to Essaouira in the same riad. Thank you so much!

La ruelle ne paie pas de mine mais une fois la porte d'entrée franchie, on découvre un havre de paix au décor soigné. Le patio arboré est particulièrement agréable. L'accueil et la gentillesse du personnel et du propriétaire sont remarquables. Il prend le temps de nous fournir les cartes et informations utiles pour passer un agréable séjour. Une belle chambre confortable, au calme car éloignée de l'agitation des rues principales de la médina qui restent accessibles en une à deux minutes de marche. Literie de qualité, belle salle d'eau. Les petits déjeuners sont aussi copieux que bons, et l'on découvre chaque jour de nouvelles choses sur la table. Nous sommes restés 5 jours et notre séjour au riad à simplement été parfait, pour un budget très raisonnable. Nous y reviendrons sans hésitation !

Lovely road in the Medina.

Zack from the Riad greeted us and was a fantastic host, attending to all our needs. Breakfast was excellent. Would definitely stay here again. Our only complaint was at times in night it was a bit noisy as the garbage man was cleaning the streets in the Medina. Being in the Medina I guess that is to be expected. Another consideration is the room had no air conditioning, but with the windows open it cooled down nicely - hence the street noise.

Great overall experience staying at this place! Had a bit of a misunderstanding when checking in but glad it got sorted out. Such a convenient location away from all the busy streets while still being central enough to be able to go back to multiple times throughout the day. The staff were very friendly and accommodating and the room was well decorated and clean - we even had our own private balcony. Would definitely stay here again!

What an absolutely wonderful hotel! I don’t normally write reviews but I absolutely have to for this place. The hotel is beautiful, the room is stunning with a gorgeous balcony looking over the little courtyard. Superbly friendly and helpful staff, wonderful breakfast, and right in the heart of the medina. And little touches like fresh flowers on the table and in the bathroom have made this a place we will definitely come back to!
