RIAD AMANA

Staff were very caring and helpful Specially the lady named Kawtar 🙏

This is a lovely riad, in the heart of the Medina. Our room overlooked an alley, and was not soundproofed, so we did not sleep well on some nights, but the riad was otherwise delightful. Breakfast was simple and served at a communal table, which did not suit us, but was not the end of the world. Ask for a room away from the alley and you will enjoy a great stay (and a good sleep) in a beautiful establishment.

This is a really pleasant riad in the centre of the Esauira Medina. Don't be fooled by the ghastly exterior, which makes you think you have definitely booked the wrong place, as once the door is opened you are in a surprising oasis of calm and elegance which belies the crumbling plaster and the dirty old sign. It was indeed a relief to be gathered within the graceful and stylish inner sanctum, with it's traditional decor and light, spacious ambience, as the dirty alley and begrimed facade had made me fear the worst. After check-in, which was relaxed but thorough, we were delighted to be shown into our beautiful, authentically decorated and spacious rooms. The bathroom was plenty large enough, and we had two seating areas, both of which were comfortable, and a large bed with comfy linen. We had a couple of issues with this riad, the main one being that the windows and shutters do not block out noise, so conversations, kids playing, carts being pulled about etc were all quite loud, and sleep was not completely tranquil on some nights. I guess one can't really moan about the call to prayer when you stay in the Medina, but the Fajar pre-sunrise call is so loud that it might aswell have been taking place beside the bed, which was not completely welcome at about 5.55am. Also, the shower takes AGES to warm up, therefore wasting a LOT of water, and when it does get there, the temperature can fluctuate wildly and abruptly, insuring a constant sense of fear and alert instead of relaxation, as the cascade of water could potentially scold or freeze you at any moment. There is no heating or Aircon in the rooms, which was just about fine for us in late September, but in the furnace of summer or on a chilly winter's night, the lack of interior climate change might be troublesome. Breakfast was quite simple but pleasant enough, but it was served at a single, communal table, which might not suit everyone. Including us. Finally, we had a bulb out in the middle seating area, which we alerted staff to on the second day, but four days later nothing had been done to correct the problem. Overall I would recommend this riad, and I would possibly return, but not to a room above the alley.

Stayed here for 4 nights. Really amazing, clean and well-maintained property. The staff is friendly and many thanks to Myriam who helped us and provided her expertise regarding things to do and visit. Overall a really good experience. Highly recommend!

Dès l’accueil par Myriam, nous avons eu un coup de coeur pour cet riad. Les chambres sont très charmantes et le déjeuner est copieux. L’emplacement est aussi parfait. Nous n’hésiterons pas à y revenir !

Great staff, spacious, nice and clean rooms and very nice breakfast. Location is perfect too. Highly recommended.

Myriam, la gérante, a été exceptionnelle et nous a aidées à trouver un guide pour visiter la ville et nous a recommandé un hammam tout près de l’hôtel. Le Riad est mignon, propre et très bien situé, en plein coeur de la Médina. Le personnel a été accueillant et généreux envers nous. La configuration des chambres fait en sorte qu’elles offrent peu d’intimité (pour deux amies).

Really friendly staff and lovely rooms.... We'll be back!

Very charming Riad in the center of town. Very nice rooms and super friendly staff. We absolutely loved it and will for sure be returning. Highly recommended!

Right off a main walkway in the middle of the medina (old town). The inside is like a quiet oasis from the bustle outside, each room decorated different. My first stay in a riad. Traditional but modern. Not accessable by car, about a 10 walk from road. If you have luggage, there are porters with wagons that will pull your stuff for you.
