A wonderful authentic Riad at a ec excellent price. I was concerned about parking but the overnight guarded lot north of the Medina was cheap and easy. The breakfast was generous.

“A fantastic stay at a lovely riad in the coastal town of Essaouira”
A beautiful riad within walking distance of the shops, restaurants and the fortifications. Breakfast was fantastic orange juice, crepes with honey, bread, butter, tomatoes, cheese, lovely hot Moroccan mint tea, omelette, pain au chocolat. This set us up for the morning ahead. Our room was up a few flights of stairs but it was lovely up there with sun loungers, plants in pots. Our room had a single bed and a double bed with a sofa area, lovely hot shower too.

At this point in my trip to Morocco, this accommodation is my favourite. The staff at the Riad are very friendly, easy to talk with, and give great advice - they all seem to work well together like a well oiled machine. The room was a lovely size and finished with some personal touches. The breakfast was very good, with more food than you'd need to eat. I had Omelette, Beghrir, Msemmen, Moroccan Croissant, Amlou, a syrup, marmalade, soft cheese, baguette, chocolate cake on one day, fresh orange juice, Moroccan tea. It is in a great location off of of the main streets. You don't need to worry about getting lost in the maze like Marrakesh. Essaouira was absolutely amazing. Very relaxed city. Very friendly.

“Pleasant riad in the medina with great breakfast”
The riad is located right in the center of the medina, easy to find. The breakfast is generous and very good. The lady in the reception (sorry, we didn't get your name!) was really helpful and nice, she gave us great advice about places to visit, which bus to take to Sidi Kaouki, and many other things. We really recommend this riad if you go to Essaouira!

“Extremely happy there.”
Location a few yards from the main street in the medina - perfect! Breakfast was very good - eggs, pastries, cheese, bread, orange juice. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Atmosphere was lovely. Essaouira is a place to wind down and stroll with stops at places like Salut Maroc and Ombu.

-The best service I've ever had of any stay I was immediately treated like family by the lovely Nadia. Granted me the best accommodation of the place and provided me all the necessary information I needed to enjoy Essaouira. Literally made me wish I could have stayed longer. Breakfast and even a goodbye treat as well. Truly Unforgettable and impeccable service just queen energy all around. The night staff was also very nice as well. - Nicely situated when you find the place almost near the middle of the Essaouira medina compound. - Lovely breakfast -Very comfortable bed
