It was a good place. Clean, friendly and helpful staff. Some of the linens were a bit dated and the heater didn't work very well, but it was well worth the price.

Ok as a resting place only

We stayed at this Riad for two nights. It's ok as a base for exploring the town, Their breakfast is very basic and dry, my kids struggled to eat their hard bread. Their staff can hardly understand english and it was a bit of struggle to ask for simple things.

I loved this place. The linens and towels aren't brand new, but they're clean and they provide extra blankets and a heater. The room gets a lot of natural light which is very refreshing after staying in some windowless riads that get kind of stuffy. TheThe orange juice is delicious!

Essaouira's little gem

Our stay at this riad was a lovely experience. The owner Jean Paul was a real gentleman who took his time to make you feel right at home. The manager Lachaan was one of the nicest men you can meet who was really helpful. The nightman Rashid was was always at your service with a smile and the maid really looked after you with her lovely breakfast. The riad itself was clean and crisp with a lovely decor, it was refreshing. The rooms where nice and spacious with lovely bathrooms. The terrace was amazing too. Thanks once again to all the team.

Hospitality at its best

It was amazing right in the centre of madinah everything is around you. The area has lots of cars and youcab smell ten sometimes. Riad is amazing the service I received was amazing hospitality number one. Breakfast every morning served by Hannah was spot on she asked us what we wanted and she delivered every morning I was full even if I wasn't hungry I ate so not to miss out. My room was great there was three of us and then double bed and single bed lots of spaces. The roof terrace was perfect and cute we snowed up there as we couldn't smoke in rooms and I was never too cold. Out eifi eas pretty good sometimes it was in and out but the majority of my stay it worked perfect. Wish I ate dinner at the Riad but I didn't. I will def go back price was amazing and company and the people I met was great on my last day I took one of the guest surfing which was fun!! I'll be back!!

Sehr schönes Riad in einer ruhigen Gegend der Medina von Essaouira. Das Personal wurde sehr sehr freundlich, hat sich gut um uns gekümmert. Das Frühstück war sehr reichhaltig und wurde auf der Dachterrasse serviert. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber, aber etwas feucht (ist in der Medina aber typisch).

Nous avons adoré notre séjour. Chambre très propre et accueillante pour une famille. Nous avions un parc pour notre bébé installé à notre arrivé. Très bien situé, dans une petite rue de la médina, donc plutôt tranquille. Super petit déjeuner sur la terasse. Nous nous sommes sentis très à l'aise! Merci encore.

It is an ok place for what you pay. If you are young and want to have a safe and relatively comfortable place to stay this is good, but if you are in your 50s and 60s nd want a more comfortable nicer side of things then this is not the place for you. The location is in Medina so that is good in terms of centrality but the streets in Medina are dirty and you will find piles of trash on your way to the riad, the smell, the noise late into the night all of that comes with this choice.

Riad de charme

Superbe petit appartement sur le toit du Riad avec sa terrasse. Terrasse pourrait être mieux entretenue mais si c'est l'hiver. Belle salle à manger et salon avec cheminée. Personnel très sympathique et à l'écoute du client. Petit déjeuner peut être amélioré, plus de crêpes et du miel. Repas du soir assez bon, quelques légumes en plus des pois chiches autour du couscous auraient été souhaitables.

La petite chambre réservée n'étant pas disponible, nous avons eu le plaisir d'occuper la "mini suite berbère". Un seul mot: WOW! Bien située dans la médina. Jolie terrasse. On recommande chaudement. Accueil et service impeccable, gérant très attentionné. Très bon petit déj.

Hübsches Hotel. Kleines, dunkles Zimmer, kein WLAN

Sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtetes Hotel. Aber leider war unser Zimmer (das erste Zimmer im Erdgeschoss) für 3 Personen eindeutig zu klein. Außerdem war das Zimmer sehr dunkel. Ich würde das Hotel schon empfehlen, aber das Zimmer nicht. Das W-Lan hat im Zimmer nicht funktioniert und das Personal hat nur auf dem Gemeinschaftsraum verwiesen.

Einfaches, zentral gelegenes Riad

Das Riad liegt gut zu Fuss vom Parking ausserhalb der Medina erreichbar in einer Seitengasse der Hauptstrasse. Es ist insgesamt etwas düster und auch muffig drinnen. Der schlechte Geruch wurde mit Räucherstäbchen übertüncht. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das einfache Frühstück war gut. Es gibt eine eigentlich sehr schöne Dachterasse, die leider etwas vernachlässigt aussah.

PARFAIT! Propre, belle chambre, ryad plein de charme, personnel au petit soin! Nous sommes arrivés tard, on nous a récupéré avoir mis notre voiture dans le parking. Nous conseillons fortement malgré un petit déjeuner très simple (1 petit pain maison, confiture, beurre et thé à la menthe). Ryad bien situé!
