    Everything was perfect.

    An Unforgettable Stay at Riad Étoile de Mogador From the moment we arrived at Riad Étoile de Mogador, we were captivated by its stunning visual beauty and authentic charm. The Riad is impeccably clean and thoughtfully designed, blending traditional Moroccan architecture with warm, inviting touches that make it feel like a true oasis. The terraces are absolutely breathtaking—perfect for relaxing with a cup of mint tea while soaking in the views and ambiance of Essaouira. Every corner of the riad reflects attention to detail, and the atmosphere is peaceful and welcoming. What truly sets this Riad apart, though, are the hosts. Attentive, kind, and incredibly hospitable, they went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. Their warmth made us feel right at home and added a personal touch that we’ll never forget. Breakfasts were a daily delight—delicious, varied, and rooted in local traditions. Each morning brought a new array of flavors made with fresh, local ingredients that gave us a true taste of Moroccan cuisine. This riad is a gem in every sense. If you're looking for authenticity, comfort, and heartfelt hospitality in Essaouira, look no further than Riad Étoile de Mogador.

    I would like to say the stairs since my age is showing but after some time I started to appreciate the exercise and in the end the stairs had done a lot for my endurance 👍😁

    Lovely Ryad. Relaxed and clean. The hospitality and service was exceptional. Fellt like home away from home.

    It's a trek to get to the third floor, so be prepared. Best to hire a chariot from any of the medina gates and ask the gentleman to carry your suitcases up to the floor against a tip. Also, don't bring huge suitcases as the staircase is lovely but rather steep and narrow. The shower floods the bathroom a little, so best use one of the towels as a dam. Could do with some bigger hand towels.

    Really liked the room and the fact that it was a twin room with ample space around it. We also had a reception room with 2 armchairs, a table and fire place. The room was on the third floor opening onto the terrace with a great city and sea view and directly on comfy sofas for hanging out. Very authentic and stylish, loved it. Breakfast was served on the roof terrace with a fantastic view. Very plentiful and varied breakfast with coffee / tea, fresh orange, honey, jam, butter, oranges, pancakes, bread etc. You won't go hungry.

    The Riad is lovely and very cosy, very well located and close to everything. The room was nicely decorated and smelled lovely. The only thing is that when we arrived, they mentioned their card reader was not working and suggested making the payment in cash, which was not an option for us as we had planned to pay with a credit card. We agreed to wait a few hours, and the card machine finally worked, so we paid by card as planned. It seems that this is a common thing in Morocco that hotels and shops try to get cash rather than cards, saying the machine or the network is not working. We had the same situation in other places, but when we mentioned we could only pay by card, then, the machines started working. The breakfast was delicious, well sized and with various fruits, breads ans patries.

    I liked everything about the riad.

    our stay was fantastic. The hosts were so friendly and helpful. The room was lovely - we particularly liked the roof terrace where we had our breakfast. I told the hosts that i didn't eat wheat, and they went out of their way to make sure i had alternatives that i liked. Every day the breakfast was varied. I also loved the decor - such beautiful tiles, and artifacts around the place.
