Great position and lovely atmosphere. Staff incredibly kind and helpful. I would definitely go back !

We were welcomed as if in a family home. Staff lovely and breakfast very good. They organised a sunset camel trip from the riad. We also had a fabulous Moroccan cookery class at the riad with one of the staff which was great fun and delicious!

Gorgeous Riad right in the heart of the old town, staff were amazing. The only issue was that we were charged extra for a second room when the booking stated two rooms.

Stayed in February 2025

It felt a bit empty in this riad, there was personnel only in the morning so not much interactions with the staff. This is probably common to all buildings in Essaouira Medina but it was a bit humid and damp inside the building.

Excellent location in the Medina and close to the sea. Stunning view from the balcony. We had a specious room (deluxe).

Stayed in February 2025

Had to wait on the street for about 20 minutes to check in which was a little annoying as I said when we were arriving.

Breakfast was good and staff very friendly

Stayed in February 2025

Getting to the second room via terrace a bit tricky in winter as effectively outside. Payments in part by bank transfer and part cash were a bit of a hassle.

Location, breakfast, great tiles and lovely design. We had an amazing stay in Essouira.

Our room was very clean and well designed, hope to come back again next year.

Received a number of emails and messages while on route to accommodations regarding prepayment. Had no access to phone services so did not see these prior to arrival. These messages were a bit disconcerting and unnecessary once I did receive them. Once I arrived and paid all was well but would suggest the owner remove these odd post-booking requirements or at least make it clear in the booking what they intend to send once booking is confirmed. The place is nice and the host is kind, but this did not come across very professionally.

Kind and accommodating staff, clean and tidy place, very relaxing and close to Medina. The heater is nice on cold nights.

During windy night it was a bit noisy on the roof top

Charming place, excellent location

Stayed in December 2024

Maybe a shower curtain would be good in the bathroom I would have loved softer pillows . They were a bit hard and uncomfortable

Great location in the Medina with views of the water . We had the apartment which was lovely , bright and airy. You can open all the shutters and have a lovely cooling breeze coming through even in August. The staff were very friendly and caring Great communication Great stay

Conveniently and ideally located In the heart of the atmospheric Medina. Incredible views from the roof top terrace. Every one we dealt with was very friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome. The hotel provided excellent recommendations for places to eat and to find everything we needed. We rented the family apartment which had everything we needed and provided a peaceful and comfortable space to relax in and enjoy the views. Highly recommended and great value for money.

From al our hostels in Marocco this hostel was one of our favorite ones. It is a very clean, pretty, good located and safe hostel with very friendly people working there. Having the breakfast at the rooftop with a nice view was so lovely. The rooms are clean and it is nice to have some private space. Also we get a lock for our own door (really safe)! One of the servants also is working at the traditional hamam (two streets from the hostel). She ofered us two hours in de haman (scrub, massage, washing) and it really was our money worth it! We are very happy we have chosen this hostel and the hamam!

More shade on top terrace would help on sunny days.

Location. ‘Traditional’ feel. Excellent interior design.

Stayed in July 2024

There were numerous families with small children staying there (which I guess is good for some) which made for noisy early mornings with children running around above. My room's central location meant there was a lot of noise with people coming and going.

The rooftop area was beautiful beyond belief with lounging, sunning, and eating availability. Provided a map, general information, and wonderful tea right upon arrival. Good breakfast.

Stayed in May 2024

We stayed in the top floor apartment which was large and comfortable with a nice private terrace

Stayed in May 2024

The view since our window opened to a wall of a next building. And it would be nice if there would be more staff so they would deliver the breakfast to the terrace (we had to do it ourselves and it is many very narrow stairs up :-)

Nice riad, very kind hostess, great breakfast on a terrace with ocean view. We felt very safe especially after finding a back pack with all the money, documents and credit cards which I have forgotten at the reception for about 1 hour and it was untouched!

Stayed in February 2024

Latifa and Kabira were the best, they gave us recommendations and sorted out us going to hamam and were so kind!

Stayed in February 2024

The bathroom was not 100% clean.

Great Breakfast, enjoyed the rooftop view over the city and the atlantic ocean. Perfectly located in the medina. Great for 2 or 3 days!

I little old, it would need a refreshing

Fantastic location in the Medina

Stayed in December 2023

Latifa was the employee who helped me checked in and she was great. Rooftop patio (aka le terrace) was great too!

Stayed in October 2023

Unfortunately the loud motorbikes driving through the alleyway at night made for a difficult nights sleep. I recommend headphones or earplugs. Also, the pillows are way too full & stiff. I really wanted to pull some stuffing out.

Unbelievable hospitality! Kibera (sp?) was the loveliest hostess! Our room was beautiful as was the riad. I loved having breakfast in my cozy room on my cozy couch. (you were welcome to eat on the ocean view terrace as well) Staying in the medina is a great experience…wonderful shopping & restaurants. Getting lost was my favorite part & I felt extremely safe at all times. The Moroccan people are amazing!
