Such a lovely oasis in the medina of Essaouira. The property is beautiful and decorated in relaxing greys which is quite a contrast to everything outside. The rooftop for relaxing and breakfast was lovely. The location is right in the Medina but a 3 minute walk away from the harbour front cafes so very quiet. The staff was exceptional and bent over backwards to help. Originally planned to stay one day in Essaouira but so liked the feel of the place that we extended our trip for a second and glad we did. Great restaurants in the area also.

Hidden gem in the medina of Essaouira!

Hidden gem in the medina close to many shops and restaurants. Excellent service and helpful staff. All common areas and the room were very clean and modern yet with a touch of traditionnal Moroccan design. Exactly like in the pictures. Our room was on the small side but we could see into unused room and there were larger rooms as well. Wifi was a bit slow, but that's been the case pretty much everywhere else in Morocco. We didnt't get to try their breakfast as we had an early flight and breakfast service didnt't star until 8 but they did prepare croissant, cake, orange juice and coffee for us to have before we left. They also arranged transportation to the airport for us. There is also a house cat so beware if you're allergic to cats. Would stay here again for our next stay in Essaouira!

Beautiful Riad, Spectacular Service

This Riad was by far the nicest we stayed at during our three week trip in Morocco. The bathrooms were gorgeous, the decor throughout the Riad was spectacular, and the service went above and beyond. I was sick for one of the days there, and the staff helped my boyfriend in getting me medication and brought food to my room. Also, can’t beat the Riad cat Mimi with her little black kitten. I will definitely stay there in my next trip and highly recommend it.

Bad choice

The room it was very small, in the photos look much bigger than in reality, you barely could move. room badly maintained. staff and mostly owner very rude, unwelcoming and unprofessional behaviour. I was told in the morning that I wasn't entitled to breakfast, even thought it was in my booking confirmation and it was confirmed in my check in!! Cat living and moving around the hotel. Location feels unsafe at evening. I made my choice based on good reviews, it was a very bad decision and I truly regretted.

Beautiful design but they left out any room ventilation except from the bathroom window opening to hallway and door to room that opens onto the public hallway!!! No fan, no window that opens, no AC. We had to sleep with the door open which was creepy. We left one night early because of this. Otherwise, it is a beautiful place, just very impractical. Maybe we got the only room without any ventilation.Very nice staff.

A family visit to Essaouira

The hotel is an old historical Moroccan Home converted recently into a Hotel. The architecture and furniture is tasteful; reflecting Moroccan heritage. The hotel is small and cozy located in the old town of Essouira. The breakfast is offered at the open air roof of the hotel, overlooking the old town. The service at the hotel is more than excellent and the manager (Halima) went out of her way to resolve any concretes we had. It was an amazing stay, which we enjoyed

Hidden Gem!

My husband and I planned a trip to Essouira, but we booked our stay at a different hotel. We then had to change our dates, but the hotel could not or would not accommodate. We needed to book one night somewhere else. I came across Riad Raoud Rayhan, the pictures looked nice so I booked one night. OMG, I feel in love with this place as soon as I stepped in. The owner greeted us at the door, she was very very kind and accommodating. She even upgraded our room! The room was gorgeous and clean, breakfast was delicious and fresh, and the location was great. I only wish we had booked our entire stay there...I was so sad to leave the next day. I will be staying here next time! -Note: Essouira is a lovely, kind, and safe place to travel. Please don't be afraid of walking through the alley to get to the Riad. It's such a lovely view of the old buildings.

AMAZING PLACE - HIGHLY RECOMMEND

We spent almost 3 weeks at this Riad while in Morocco and we could not have asked for better. The Riad is beautiful - newly renovated only 2 years ago with great taste, authenticity and attention to detail. Simply wonderful. The location is great - right in the middle of the Medina but at the end of a very quiet alley. The Riad has a very nice spa with great massages and a Hammam. And above all - Halima (the manager) and the staff are amazing - from the moment we stepped into the door, we were welcome like part of the family. They went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and memorable. I highly recommend this place.

Hidden gem amongst historical Essaouira

We were greeted by aroma therapy and soft comforting music upon arrival. The staff were very courteous and pleased to assist at any request. The rooms were very clean, quiet and pleasant surrounds. The road is in amongst the souk so don't have to walk far for anything. Highly recommend to anyone this authentic riad you will not be disappointed.
