    Mix of traditional and modern just within the city walls

    This riad is more like a residence than a hotel, and the staff are not always available. The room faced the street outside the old town, which is very noisy. The rooms don't have air conditioning, but they maintain a nice temperature in August with the windows open...but it's hard to sleep given the noise.

    Pretty riad on the edge of the old town. It's a nice mix of traditional and modern. The bedroom was big - had both a bed and a couch. Excellent breakfast included.

    Loved everything about this beautiful property. We stayed in the rousse room, so relaxing, exactly what we needed, and Amina looked after us with lovely breakfasts and always a smile. We really enjoyed searching for the recommended restaurants and bars and trying them out while we were there.

    Nothing one problem is my short vacation, want to stay forever

    I'm in love with this house! I've been to different riads in different cities, but this one is the best! Design: the house resembles a sea shell, the inside is decorated with local tadelakt. Every corner of the house is a Pinterest-ready photo. Facilities: there is always hot water, fresh towels and sheets, a bottle of water. Don’t worry that there is no air conditioning in the house, it is not needed here even in summer, fresh air from the ocean keeps you cool. + not noisy like in other riads, and the sounds of the street are not disturbing at all (you can only hear them when you open the window) Breakfast: The best omelette in the country and a combination of fresh fruit, bread and coffee will keep you hungry all day location: very convenient location on the side of the medina (for those just exploring Morocco, this is the old town), but effect that you are not in a tourist place, but in a real medieval city! the streets are quiet and safe, there is a bakery and lies nearby Staff: Amina - goddess, queen, my love! best breakfasts, always smiling, always helping to solve a problem (she even helped me find a doctor) I felt at home with her! she is the best woman in the world, I would like her to adopt me hahaha (just kidding) I want to thank everyone who helps make my vacation better! Françoise carefully sent information in advance with pictures and photos so that I wouldn’t get lost in the city and find the best food, views and bars! Always in touch and ready to help! This is the first time in Morocco when I received so much love, it helped me a lot 💕

    The room was rather dark - would have liked higher wattage light bulbs.

    My room was magnificent. Breakfast was very good. Amira, the host, was thoughtful and kind. The street is right at the edge of the medina, so there weren't a lot of vendors in your face. And there were weavers!

    The Riad is very somber with not so much light. There’s not much the owners could do to change that, but in a city full of light, it was a shame to be in a somber Riad.

    Amina is a pearl! She absolutely makes this Riad. The Riad is clean, but a little tired in the bathroom we were in. The terrace is good, but again could do with an update a removing tired sunbeds. A mistake was very, very quickly corrected. Don’t hesitate to contact the owner, who is very responsive.

    There is no air conditioning and a lot of noise and some pollution from the street when the window is open at night, so you need to chose between the silence and cooler air.

    Beautiful Riad, very cozy and well decorated, Amina is nice, attentive and organized.

    would’ve been nice to have a larger mirror in the room - only one available was over the sink in the bathroom otherwise outside the room. but that’s just being picky.

    Beautiful place and great location - very easy & quick to get anywhere. Most comfortable bed I’ve had during my trip to Morocco. But the real star here is Amina, who is just fabulous!

    Personally I found the bed a bit hard but this was common to all stays in Morocco.

    The staff member at the Riad was absolutely amazing. She did everything and always with a smile. The proprietor was available over WhatsApp and was extremely helpful in making recommendations and bookings.

    A true gem in the middle of the medina. The riad dar les sirens deserves an impressive 5 stars with its beautiful decor and surprising quiet atmosphere. It is a women’s led riad and empowers the local girls to have a good job. For that matter I think it’s very safe for solo female traveler’s passing by Essaouira too. As for the quality of beds The mattresses have a topper, and are the most comfortable we have slept in on our Morocco road trip. My husband and I enjoyed the Breakfast every morning too, it was top! However, beyond anything else we must emphasise specifically the manager of this place, who provided us a very special hosting! Amila, who is sure to greet you with a great smile every morning, will fulfil every wish you have. Her and her kids made this riad feel like home. We loved it so much that upon our first night we cancelled a different riad we had booked after this one, in order to stay longer. Amilas cooking is also excellent, so be sure to ask her for cooking classes if you are interested and enjoy her food as she offers this too! When I told her that I loved a nice fire place she made sure to gift me every morning a breakfast by the fire. This alone was for me so special. Book this place with confidence, you will recharge in this quiet place in the middle of the medina.
