“Great place!”
Location was terrific, middle of the medina but in a quiet sidestreet so not much noise for sleeping. The breakfast was brilliant, on the rooftop served fresh every day! Everything was clean and spacious

Lovely, friendly staff. They were very helpful and made our stay a good experience. Very clean, and everything in the room was changed every day. The rooftop terrace is a bonus, and great place to have breakfast!

“We would stay at the same Riad again as a family. Thank you!”
Perfect location in the old town/Medina. Cozy and very clean rooms. Delicious breakfast (varies each day) on the terrace. We stayed here as family of 4 with a 3 year and 5 months old kid. We would pick the same Riad again as a family. Thank you!

“We enjoyed our stay at Riad Etoile de Mogodor.”
The riad is within the walls of the medina, so was both characterful and well located to visit the most interesting parts of Essaouira. Despite being inside the medina it was quiet and peaceful. The bathroom was great with a decent shower. Breakfast on the terrace was great.
