We loved the minimalistic interior with earthtone coloured Tadelakt and natural light. Quiet, spacious and comfortable. Will miss the heated flooring.

It was the best place we have ever stayed. Not only the riad itself, the interior, the food, but the kindness and attentiveness of the staff, they always had an eye on every detail, and was very helpful. It worth to stay for dinner in the riad too, amazing flavours! The location is perfect, just in the middle of the medina, but in a quiet corner. The room is spacious, and always made clean. The bed is so comfortable. One small thing that was a bit bothering is the wifi, which was not stable at all, came and went in waves, but it is just a small technical issue.

Riad Lyon Mogador was 1 of 2 accommodations for us in Essaouira and definitely the best choice we could make. The breakfast on the roof terrace and the 360 degree view from there are absolutely awesome! The rooms look like the photos if not nicer and are super clean and modern :) The location is right in the center of Essaouira and public parking is a 5 minute walk away. On our next stay in Essaouira I would go back to the Riad Lyon Mogador anytime - 100% recommendation!
