Great stay in the heart of Essaouira. Easy to find and a friendly area.

Compared to other riads we stayed at in the past years, this one was very basic. We chose it because the breakfast was included but the breakfast was ok but nothing special. Fresh orange juice, hot drink, an egg and “petit pain” from a shop. No home made msemen or home made bread for example. The room was basic, beds were ok but not really comfortable. In the bathroom, nothing to hang the towels to for example. The bedsheets were clean. The room itself and bathroom seemed to have been cleaned superficially only.

Good location in the centre of the old medina. Good vibes of an authentic riad.

Noisy room due to outside hectic area. Old bed that keeps making noise whenever you move.

Breakfast was good. Stuff are friendly and the atmosphere is good, but I got a very noisy room. People didn't stop talking and shouting outside until 1 in the morning

A few rooms are a bit noisy during festival time- to be expected if you are in the medina

Great location , in the centre of the Medina . Nice breakfast on the terrasse . The rooms are big and airy .

Nothing not to like: It is as described by Booking.com and in this review.

Located in the very heart of Essaouira's Medina, Riad Le Grande Large is a taste of authentic Morocco. Staff very helpful and pleasant, which adds to the aura of calm when you step through the door. Simple but well cooked breakfast on the rooftop terrace is another bonus, as was the comfortable bed.

Rooms could do with having a chair and more clothes hangers in the wardrobe for people staying staying more than a couple of nights.

Excellent breakfast and really welcoming staff. Lovely food terrace and perfect location.

the bathroom was kinda poor with no shampoo or bodywash. The bed quite uncomfortable

Good breakfast in the rooftop

The rooms need a bit of love but are perfectly functional. The whole place could be elevated with a bit of a clean and attention de details.

loved the location of the Riad in the middle of the Medina and the amazing rooftop where we enjoyed the sunshine, the amazing breakfast and the view over the Medina. The staff was lovely and we had a pleasant stay.

Excellent location.

The terrace had washing draped everywhere all day. The sheets were too small for our bed, very annoying. Needed a bath mat by the shower. Could have done with a couple of hand towels. (It occurred to us that in warmer weather this top bedroom might be noisy in the evenings with people gathering, and the room would get hot as no a/c.)

Comfy bed, only 1 pillow each. Simple furnishings, good shower. Our room, reasonable size, opened onto communal terrace and was warmed during the day by the sun ( evenings were cool). At this time of year the terrace was quiet in the evening.Towels washed every day if required. Very simple rooms but excellent value. Right in the middle of the shopping streets of the medina.

The lady who prepared and served breakfast was clearly sick. She had a runny nose and a cough. Unfortunately, two days later I had similar symptoms and I was sick for two weeks. Unfortunately, even though I saw the symptoms in the lady, I ate breakfast and that was my mistake.

The hotel is very interesting as architecture. It is an old beautiful building. The room was spacious and comfortable with a large bathroom. The room had an electric heater so despite the cold night the room was pleasant.

Our room had a blinking neon light from the pharmacy across the street that was a bit annoying. The beds and bed frames need an upgrade.

Nice Riad with a big room and attached bathroom that was clean and Oder free. That is a luxury in the Medina of any city. Good breakfast every morning served with a smile, could just add some fruit to take it over the top. The location is great, but on a busy street.?

Very friendly staff, good breakfast, own bathroom, clean rooms, own keys to enter the building, very good location

My opinion is that if the people who live there could use the kitchen from noon after breakfast is served and it was possible to wash clothes at the accommodation, then even more people would choose that place.

We stayed there for 4 nights and the location, the size of the room and the daily cleaning were good. We booked it with breakfast and it was delicious every day. The staff was nice and helpful.

WiFi was a little slow

Beautiful little room that was so nice and clean and had a window that looked out on the street. Breakfast was delicious. The staff were very kind and let us use the kitchen to cook our dinner. Would recommend this place for anyone staying in Essauoira!
