Reviews of Riad Baladin

I would highly recommend staying at Riad Baladin. It’s located a few steps from the fort in the medina of Essaouira. Plenty of places to explore nearby. Felix and Marwa were both very welcoming, I got some great tips from Felix for food (veggie to veggie) and they didn’t disappoint. The breakfast on the terrace is delicious, and the ladies working there were so welcoming and attentive. In the evening a gentleman is on hand if you need help, again, lovely man! The rooms themselves are beautifully decorated, comfy bed and stylish bathroom. It’s quiet at night, and you can hear the sound of the sea and wind, just outside as you drift to sleep.

superfriendly staff, excellent location, beautifull interior, amazing terrasse

Wonderful peaceful Riad in the bustle of the medina. Felix and his staff are fabulous and go out of their way to make your stay as Perfect they can Fabulous breakfast on the terrace, beautiful rooms.

The room was absolutely beautiful with the traditional Moroccan bathroom! Staff were lovely - Marua was very informative and friendly. She annotated a map for us with amazing recommendations. Breakfast was also amazing. Great facilities and central location. We will be back!

It has everything you need for a good relaxing holiday, they also have a great pasta place that they work with and its really good, the jacuzis great and the rooms are very nice, breakfests were the best

Very clean place with nice scents and best services in medina.

Breakfast was amazing! Personnel was very kind and helpful.

I have stayed here many times. It feels like home. I love the location ( outskirts medina/ near sea). Love the decor of the place ( bonus for an interior designer). The rooms vary all in lay-out and decor. Breakfast is excellent on the roofterrace from 8-12. Parking is near in a square ( moulay hassan) which is either free ( left Side) or cheap ( right Side). Staff is excellent, friendly and knowledgeable. Speaking french and english. And there is monsieur Zimba!our orange cat friend. Its our home in Essaouira, will surely be back if life allows us,

The property is beautiful and clean. The facilities were all in good shape and the bedroom very beautifully designed, comfortable and inviting.

You had to climb a lot of stairs to get to our room, but probably no way around that when staying in a riad!

Felix and the staff are really the best part of my stay. Not because the facilities are bad but they really go above and beyond and that makes all the difference. My room was tiny I wish that was more clear prior to booking. Cleaning services were great breakfast staff wonderful! Great hospitality

Room size and bed size. My room was also bright day and night because of a light outside right over my bed out tge window.

Everything! The decor and all the rooms are stunning, delicious breakfast served every morning until 12, great views from the terrace and super lovely staff! The location is also perfect

Super nice staff! Wonderful place, full of charm

The riad is a little oasis of tranquility in the bustling medina. A perfect blend between traditional architecture and comfort, the riad is designed very well to let in a lot of light, which is often not the case in Morocco. The single room is snug but stil feels spacious. The bathroom was very clean. I didn't use the hot tub, but they have a system where you can easily book it over the course of the day (it's almost always available) and so you can have it to yourself! The breakfast on the terrace is excellent both in terms of location and the quality of the food. The staff is incredibly kind and helpful, starting from Felix, the manager, as well as the breakfast staff and the night guard, who prepared an excellent breakfast for me before opening times.

Perhaps the roooms could be a little more sound proof, as you can hear the other guests walking by the room, but very minor issue!

The riad was the nicest we stayed during our two-week Morocco holiday. It had a cosy and relaxing atmosphere, fantastic shared areas, stunning rooftop terrace, clean and comfortable bedrooms and a great jacuzzi! The staff was pleasant and very welcoming. We had to check out early to make our flight in Marrakesh and they were able to accommodate for a full served breakfast at 6am, when the timing would have started at 8.30. It is also easily located in the medina, within walking distance from the beach and all shops and restaurants.

One thing we noticed here, but also in all other riads we stayed at, is that the walls are quite this so it can get noisy at times.

Best riad I’ve been to. Absolutely impecable! Everything- vibes, interior, riad decor - it all exceeded expectations. Big shout out to Felix & the woman preparing the breakfast morning of May 15th! I cannot describe how luxurious the stay felt🤩 I would recommend this again and again! Please keep it up! I also really enjoyed the jacuzzi🥳there’s also space to tan on the roof/ work , as well as inside there is a long table with books and board games.

We had a lovely time at the riad. Breakfast was very generous and delicious. The riad itself is lovely and has such unique character. The room we stayed was cosy and fun, a bit tricky climbing up and down a small ladder but it was fine for us. We didnt get to use much of the riad rooftop which is a shame but the jacuzzi was so nice. Staff/hospitality is 10/10!

Nothing!
