Owner lovely with little extras around the place like coffee facilities etc. drink and biscuit on arrival. receptionist - Leila ( i think is her name) helped me so much. My husband was sick, she helped me book an earlier bus ( in french) she rang the man to pick up the bags. We could leave our bags at reception and rest in the lobby. Other staff cooked lovely breakfast and you could see the house maids thoroughly cleaning the rooms.

There was nothing to dislike about this Riad - it has been beautifully renovated and Corinne goes out of her way to make you feel welcome.

Great location in the heart of the Medina. Beautiful home of which Corinne the owner is rightfully proud. Lovely staff - very attentive and helpful and able to adapt to dietary requirements. Lovely spacious room with a very comfortable bed. Absolute peace and tranquillity once out of the hussle and bussle of the Medina and inside the Riad.

Shower head fitting could have been better, you had to hold it over your head.

Lovely breakfast - local fruit, cheese, jam, honey, pancakes and coffee. Eggs and omlettes available too. The two guys running it, both called Lassan, were excellent - very helpful and friendly. Showed us to a great local restaurant (L' hssira), and made us a breakfast to go as we were leaving early one day for a trip to Essaouira (reccommended). The manager Mohammed left us a nice hand written note in the room welcoming us to the riad.

There literally nothing!

The place is absolutely stunning! We loved every second of our stay in Essaouira, and this hotel made it very special! Everyone should experience this.

There is a TV in the common area but the room did not have one.

From the moment we entered the riad, we were surprised by the tasteful way it has been renovated and decorated. The receptionist, a young local woman, gave us a map and explained the best places to visit and the best gastronomic spots in Essaouira. Our room for 3 people was clean, spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was very nice, and it combined local dishes (freshly cooked) with more european continental food The location is ideal, on a calm alley on the side of one of the most central and busy streets.

If I can offer a personal recommendation: The pillows were too hard and high for my taste. But I slept pretty well

Location and beautifully renovated riad, with beautiful and confortable rooms

The location is great, within the medina but we found it very quiet for sleeping. The staff were wonderful and breakfast was delicious .the room had everything we needed, highly recommend this Riad. We went to Umia and Zahra’s Grill for dinner and can highly recommended them both, if you like seafood you’re in for a real treat!

The staff were wonderful. There is not a lift at the Riad and they helped us to the room. Breakfast is served on the roof terrace and we managed the stairs the first morning. After that they served breakfast on the ground floor for us.

A bit too quiet, we got a knock on our door for talking at night, and vibes were a bit off at checkin

It’s beautiful

Very comfortable, beautiful Riad, newly renovated. Staff is very helpful. And breakfast is exceptional. Riad is in the heart of Medina but quiet and walking distance to the beach.

Everything was perfect. This was our favourite Riad during our Morocco trip!

Riad Al Manara is a gorgeous accommodation and we had a wonderful stay all around. The room was beautiful, spacious and comfortable, everything was incredibly clean, the location was amazing, Corinne and her staff were very kind and we received great tips about restaurants, rooftops and little shops. The breakfast was also delicious and a little different every day for variety. We would recommend everyone to choose this wonderful Riad!

A wonderful Riad in the heart of Essaouira. Great rooms, friendly staff and very peaceful even though it’s right in the heart of the city. The breakfasts are out of this world!

Stayed in December 2024

Maybe a little table of something to put a bag and clothes on it would be great. There wasn’t enough space for personal items so we had to put them on the floor.

Beautiful Riad in the middle of Essaouria. Staff was really friendly and the breakfast delicious. Room was clean and comfortable.
