Stayed here 8 years ago and enjoyed it then so decided to stay again. An extension to the rooftop area has been added which is good. Staff very pleasant. Breakfast was delicious with fresh and homemade produce. On the edge of the Medina so relatively easy to locate. Ideal for a short stay.

Very beautiful Riad in the heart of Essaouira. Very tasty breakfast on the rooftop, always felt very fresh and delicious. All staff is very friendly, welcoming, always smilling. They even made us breakfast earlier than normal time since we had to leave early for bus. The highlight was the ocean view from room and the sound of the waves. It was amazing to fall asleep with that sound (with open window you also hear more sounds in the background of dogs, cats, call for prayer, but it added its own charm and was no issue for us). Would recommend this Riad for everyone!

“Best Morocco stay”
Best Riad from our trip in Morocco. It is way nicer than in the pictures! It was extremely clean, and beautiful. The bed was super comfortable, and it is in a quiet spot. The roof top is a great place to see the sunrise, listening to the sea while the city awakes. The hosts were incredible, really nice, helpful and accommodating. They really made us feel like home!

The staff were truly exceptional - Houssein and Hafida went out of their way to help us. Including helping us book a rental car at short notice that was much better value than anything online. The breakfast and view of the sea from the rooftop were super. I would highly recommend.

Breakfast was great. The staff were very attentive and so very nice and easily booked us a transfer to Rabat. The location was perfect - right in the medina on a quiet lane. The room was very quiet and comfortable and large with a great view of the ocean.

“Fantastic experience”
Spetteculare place we were given even the room on the rooftop so we had a fantastic view. Breakfast on the terrace was an awesome experience, eventhough the weather was not great. Great location to visit Medina and the Port, Central but tranquil.

The staff here are very friendly and helpful, providing us with suggestions for eating as well as marking interesting locations to visit on a map for us. Our room was very comfortable with a traditional riad feel and was equiped with everything we needed. We enjoyed the roof top terrasse for relaxing as well as a wonderful breakfast. The view from there of the ocean and waves crashing on the rocks was amazing. The location is easy to find and perfect for visiting the Medina. We would definately recommend this riad and would happily stay here again.

“Nice place”
The breakfast was the best. With fruit, yoghurt, warm bread and milk. And we were free to ask for other thing, so also omlets:). They where friendly. It was in the winter not so called inside as the have a cover on the roof. The view is so beautiful. Eating at Triskala is best diner!

“Friendly riad at a quiet corner of the old town”
Great riad for a couple of days in Essaouira. Just outside the busier streets in the medina. Very friendly service. Small hotel with a lot of common areas, so easy to strike up conversation with other travelers - or get out of your room for a bit on a rainy day.
