• tahir (8/5): - room was comfortable and clean The staff, including Youssef, the lady receptionist, and the young man, were all very kind and welcoming to me.
• Carlos Mauricio Rivero Carreras (10/5): - Me gustó la excelente hubicacion al lado de la playa y la medina Nada que no me gustase
• Pascal (9/5): - Riad propre et au calme , personnel super agréable et aux petits soins , petit déjeuner copieux et plus varié que la plupart des autres Riad
• Wadia (5/5): -
• Sophia (2/5): -
• Ayten (7/5): - Die Unterkunft ist sehr Zentral, sauber und hat sehr hilfsbereites und nettes Personal.
• Theo (10/5): -
• Hamza (10/5): - The stay was excellent , the riad is in the heart of the medina in a quiet part. The room is spacious and excelent for rest after a day of running around the medina. The staff is excellent , Youssef has been of a huge help in getting us settled in our room despite our late check-in , showing us where to go for the best spots around the medina and giving us info whenever needed.
• Rachid (6/5): -
• geoffrey (7/5): Cold strong wind detracted from the experience. Good restaurants. Alcohol hard to buy during Ramadan - luckily we booked a room with a window and sea view. The terrace for breakfast and lounging was very good. Plenty of clean towels and good sized bedroom. No heating and fortunate we took a fan heater in our luggage.
• Eric (8/5): One of the better Riads in a better area of the Medina - The location of this is perfect. The staff are friendly and very helpful. We had room 305 which is the deluxe room with sea view which I would highly recommend. Breakfast was very good Because we were on the top floor, the breakfast area was right above us and from approximately 7:30 onwards, the noise from the breakfast area above us woke us up. However, the view sort of made up for it
• agnes_szabo (10/5): - A szálloda az óvárosban van, de közel a bejárathoz, könnyen megközelíthető. A személyzet nagyon kedves, a szoba kényelmes, az épület belseje gyönyörű, a tetőterasz, ahol a reggelit is tálalják, óceánparti kilátással rendelkezik. Nagyon tetszett a hotel és a város is.
• abdelkrim (9/5): - Emplacement du riad ,le petit dejeuner.
• piotr (7/5): - Przesympatyczna pani na recepcji, smaczne śniadania na tarasie, duży pokój. Ciśnienie wody w prysznicu bardzo niskie, bardzo słabe wifi, co chwilę się wyłączało.
• Christiane (8/5): -
• Jaber (9/5): Abbiamo avuto un soggiorno meraviglioso in questa struttura , anche grazie alla gentilezza e professionalità del recepti -
• Sandrine (6/5): - La chambre et surtout le petit déjeuner Le bruit de la rue et la bruit des autres chambres
• Roch (7/5): Bel endroit bien situé avec un bon rapport qualité prix - Le petit déjeuner était bien mais c’était froid. Le service était vraiment bien et la terrasse agréable Il n’y avait pas de verre dans la chambre, pas de serviettes,
• Jennifer (7/5): - Good location. Good size room. Clean. Nice breakfast on terrace. Tv not working. No hairdryer. Very thin curtains with a light right outside the window so made it hard to sleep.
• Vidutis (10/5): - Labai malonus aptarnavimas,labai gera vieta To nebuvo
• Gonzalo Cruz (7/5): Bien, pero debajo de las expectativas - Desayuno correcto, pero sin más. La terraza necesitaría un poco más de arreglo para darle un glamour que se merecería. La calidad del desayuno también se vería favorecida por un zumo natural en lugar de industrial en un país y período en que abundaban las naranjas. La habitación está mal llamada deluxe, era una habitación con n standard justo razonable y la vista al mar. que fue lo más remarcable era ajustada, nada fuera de lo normal. Hubiera elegido un alojamiento más sobre el frente de mar.
• Olivier (8/5): - Le cadre l endroit typique Ras
• Fayssal (4/5): -
• Óscar (10/5): Perfecta - Muy buen hotel, desayunos excelentes, atención al cliente perfecta
• Amel (4/5): Mysig riad mitt i medina, personalen var trevliga men minus att det försvann saker och den kalla duschen. - Fint och mitt i medina, personalen som arbetade var trevliga Det försvann pengar på rummet, vi hade lämnat 2000dh och fanns endast 1900dh kvar när vi var tillbaka, ingen större summa men kändes ändå inte ok. Dessutom hade jag glömt kvar mina solglasögon inne på rummet som jag missade att ta med mig, de solglasögonen fanns tydligen ej kvar trots att jag vet att jag glömt dom där. Det fanns många gånger inte varmvatten i duschen.

• Rafik (5/5): -
• Magda (9/5): Je pourrais y retourner le prochain voyage - La location, le personnel, mention special a Saadia La TV n,a pas de signal quand il pleut.
• Marcos (4/5): Decepcionante - La ubicación Estaba en obras, las habitaciones olían a pintura porque estaban a medio pintar, las toallas faltaron algunos días, la ducha sin cortina ni sujeción para la ducha.
• Salwa (3/5): -
• levy shlomo (6/5): עם כצת מאמץ יכולים לשפר את המלון למקום טוב יותר לתייר - חוסר במצתקנים מנימליים במלון השירות של פקידת הקבלה היה הדב הטוב במלון החדר . המקלחת אוחת הבוקר

Seul petit point à améliorer : la télévision ne fonctionne pas et il n’est pas possible de la connecter au téléphone car c’est une ancienne version. la télévision ne fonctionne pas et il n’est pas possible de la connecter au téléphone car c’est une ancienne version.
• Manny (10/5): -
• Michel (6/5): Le riad n'a pas un bon rapport qualité prix. - L'emplacement proche du port et des rues principales. Accueil froid par le gardien en fin de journée, la femme a l'accueil dans la journée est sympathique. Le personnel du petit déjeuner ne parle pas français. Le confort et la décoration de la chambre 303 n'est pas top. Petite armoire, peu de décoration, pas de tapis, et le minimum en serviette et savon...
• Naoual (7/5): -
• mailal (7/5): Rapide mais agréable - Accueil, le personnel serviable, petit déjeuner complet Les chambres sans fenêtre sentait pas bon

• Ridouane (7/5): Correct - L’accueil Le rooftop qui manque de raffinement

• Sinacaf (8/5): -
• Samir (5/5): -

• waIid (10/5): -
• Rania (9/5): Superb - Excellent location and very friendly staff
• Rachid (10/5): Exceptional -
• Abderrahim (9/5): Superb -
• Cecilia (8/5): Welcoming and memorable! - Wonderful riad in the center of the medina! The stars was so friendly and always helpful and so welcoming to our stay in Essaouira
• Farid (2/5): Dirty - Central I had room 103. Walls very dirty (see photos)...mold? It smells very bad in the room. No shower curtain. Towels and duvet had stains.
• Emma (9/5): Superb -
• Riad (9/5): Unforgettable - Great comfortable and the reception Rachid and he’s collègue I can’t remember her name they’re so helpful and kindness
• Dyonne (7/5): It’s good for one night - The breakfast was nice and the place and view the light in our room was broken, the curtains 30% off. The bathroom was old. But oke. The Riad can use some new interior.
• Jesse (9/5): Superb -
• Andy (6/5): Pleasant - Nice building, good location close to the sights, staff friendly Dodgy sockets in the room gave off an electric shock every time I plugged in a charger, room lights flickered constantly.
• Yoro (10/5): Nice Stay - Nice room, very good breakfast and very good customer service. N/A
• Linda (9/5): Superb -
• Nizar (10/5): Good hostel good person's -
• Youssef (5/5): Passable - The location is good Dusty room, no aeration because the room has only one window inside the Riad. The breakfast is acceptable but the orange juice is really weird
• Sahara (3/5): Although the staff are very nice, I can't recommend this hotel - The service attitude of staff is very good 1. The floor of the room is dirty. 2. The room is not equipped with a hairdryer, which is very unfriendly to girls. 3. The hotel only accepts cash, and does not support booking software fees, which is strange (is there any normal tax payment?). We had to waste time going to the bank to withdraw money and pay more for the exchange rate. If the hotel had stated in the statement that it accepts cash directly at the beginning, we would not have chosen this hotel. Traveling for many years, this is the first time we have encountered such a strange hotel.
• Naomi (10/5): Best Riad in town.. - We liked the breakfast in the morning the waiter was great his name was outhman, he was really helpful and the breakfast was accommodating! We always looked forward to going up there to have it and the views. He was quick with the orders and was really kind when greeting and talking daily! I liked the hotel location was ideal we was in the centre of Madina, was easy to get everywhere. The price of the Riad was good. We had a great stay was comfortable and clean the beds are comfortable. Nice staff and cleaners daily. We enjoyed our stay here and would definitely be back again! There was nothing not to like..
• Mogni (5/5): Passable -
• Rabie (5/5): Passable -
• William (9/5): Superb - Nice environment! Friendly staff! Everything was OK!
• Khalid (10/5): The best stay you can get in Morocco - The location and the hospitality plus fast WIFI
• Hussein (4/5): Disappointing - Nothing
• Hicham (10/5): Great please, with great people - The staff very humble and courteous, specially the gentleman at the reception All good
• Sarah (7/5): Great location, staff and breakfast let down by poor shower and facilities - Lovely staff. Great location Good breakfast Poor facilities. The suite we book was Not A suite - one room with a good double but a small single - and the shower was a cool dribble. The lovely young staff are aware that improvements need to be made so I expect it could be a much much better hotel with some attention to the facilities
• Christian (10/5): Wonderful time in Essaouira - Completely amazing experience. We were super happy; since the very first moment we arrived. By the breakfast they served us with so much kindness and gratitude, and also very yummy traditional easy breakfast :) They helped us with recommendations; local and popular restaurants, and also a very closed by Massage Spa; we even made an appointment by the name of Benatar and they treated us very gently. The beach, the food, Benatar, the people and the whole experience, had left me an extremely desire to come back to the wonderful Essaouira. The only thing we didn’t like was we did not stay longer :)
• Mohamed (9/5): I will stay in the same property when I come back - The location Stuff Wifi Service Breakfast Rooftop need some decoration

• Bilal (10/5): Exceptional -
• Caleri (10/5): Very recommended - Great location and very helpful staff. The terrace is lovely and comfortable for breakfast. Rooms with a bit of humidity
• Alan (9/5): Enjoyed our 2 night stay - Good Riad in the heart of Essaouira. Large clean room. Helpful staff. Nice breakfast on the rooftop terrace overlooking the sea. Essaouira is only small but the Riad is well located convenient for the town and access to busses. Nothing. In late December is was a little chilly taking breakfast on the rooftop terrace.
• Micheal (5/5): First time lessons!! - Location was what we booked for. Did not like the fact that we had to pay with cash, and did not find out until the last day! We don't like surprises 😒when we travel 😒when it comes to cash. We gave our card to booking. Com to make the reservation and if I canceled they would have used it!!! They gave usca 3rd floor roomss an upgrade,and at 7.30 the next morning, we were woken by tables and chairs sliding across the 4th floor deck for breakfast. So we went back to the bigger room that I had booked on the 2nd floor,,then they had to come and fix the TV to work. But they shelter there money 💰🤑😕😢and we were not happy. 3 times in 5 days the hot 💧🚰🚿🚱did not work! They had to go and fix it. Electric plugs hanging out of the walls,toilet seats falling of! Trash can lids off.spider webs never taken off after cleaning 😒every day! Wild Italians waking up the guests at 3 in the morning. Yes they could have done much better, with little effort! Paid 42.00 euro,,worth 25,maybe 32 tops. But,,the head house guy was great to us. Nice, polite attentive!! Location,,great!! Booking should be very clear about payments!!! We travel alot,my partner sparks 9 languages and even she was disappointed 😞. Live and learn.
