Guest Reviews
- ABDELAZIZ (9/5): -
- Evelyne (7/5): Joli décor, emplacement idéal et calme - Emplacement idéal pour profiter de la médina, calme, réactif aux messages si problème Nous avons eu des difficultés à trouver l’entrée, le numéro n’est pas très visible et pas le nom sur la porte, Pas de ménage de toute la semaine dommage
- jacques (9/5): Très agréable séjour, le propriétaire bien que n’étant pas sur place nous a toujours répondu avec amabilité.les marocain - Très pittoresque bien placé dans la médina Les escaliers très raides avec des marches très hautes impossible de monter seule et difficile à redescendre même à deux .
Nous aurions dû demander un rez de chaussée.nous avons été aidés par un charmant voisin à notre arrivée mais pour descendre quelle galère.

- Laura (7/5): Casa en Essaouira - La habitación era amplia pero faltaba el calefactor y pasamos algo de frío. El Riad está bien ubicado y tiene una terraza con cocina donde pudimos cenar un día y tomar el sol. Hay humedad
- Sylvie (8/5): Très bien 😊 - Emplacement idéal,
l'hébergement est spacieux
- Anita_W (9/5): Modern och centralt belägen studio - Mycket trevlig, modern och centralt belägen studio. Fin takterass! Här kan man bo en hel grupp då det finns möjlighet till flera rum i samma hus. Tillgång till bostaden skedde utan kontakt, nyckel fanns i nyckelbox. Saknade krokar i badrummet att hänga handdukar mm. Även vid entren hade det varit bra med möjlighet till upphängning.
- Tom (8/5): Hele comfortabele moderne kamer op een mooie plek in de medina - Hele comfortabele moderne kamer op een mooie plek in de medina, fijne keuken en dakterras, mooie badkamer en comfortabele bedden. Het is niet een Riad met personeel die je ontvangt en ontbijt maakt e.d., meer een AirBnB-achtige ervaring met sleutelkluis en communicatie via whatsapp, maar dat is niet per se negatief, hangt er vanaf wat je wil.
Een rek op de kamer om handdoekken te laten drogen zou fijn zijn
- Stuart (10/5): Would stay again with no hesitation- it’s a great property - Excellent value, so we added an extra night to our trip to Essouira. By booking the two rooms we had the apartment to ourselves. It’s new in a great central location but quite at night. Fab terrace with 360 views Nothing- as we arrived at 12 from Marrakesh they let us in to the property so we could leave our luggage and continued to clean . Check in is at 14.00. Very kind
- Federico (10/5): Soggiorno iconico nella capitale marocchina del surf - Posizione centralissima nel cuore della Medina di Essaouira; vicina al mercato del pesce, ho gustato piatti di pesce tra i migliori mai mangiati.
- francesca (8/5): - Lo staff è molto disponibile e veloce nel soddisfare le eventuali richieste: a noi mancavano le lenzuola e neanche un’ora dopo averlo comunicato sono arrivate (erano le 19.00 di sera). Molto efficienti e gentili!

- Fabrizio (10/5): Authentique et original - Très beau riad avec une décoration très distingué avec beaucoup de confort et une très bon emplacement. L'accueil est parfaite. Je recommande vraiment cette endroit
- Souhila (10/5): -
- Paulina (10/5): - Przestronny, czysty, w super lokalizacji. Bardzo wygodne łóżko. Przepraszam - poprzednia opinia wysłana była nieprawdziwa, pomyliłam riady! Tu jedynym minusem był brak klimatyzacji, a trafiliśmy na akurat dość chłodne styczniowe dni. Poza tym wszystko super!
- Zenini (8/5): Parfait - Localisation idéale
Facilité pour avoir les informations
Équipements modernes
Le chauffage dans la chambre et la taille de la chambre Literie un peu dure . Mais c’est une appréciation très personnelle
- monica (10/5): Muy recomendable - Perfecta estancia, excelente ubicacion, limpio, cómodo, decorado con gusto, terraza muy agrabable y facil gestion checkin/out
Fantastico p
- Helmut (8/5): -
- Lisa (10/5): - Absolutely loved this quirky apartment. Stunning interior with lots and lots of stairs. Incredible design in centre of everything. Highly recommend once you are aware of interior steps to get to each level.
- Jürgen (8/5): - Großzügiges Zimmer und Bad mit ansprechendem Design. Sehr geschmackvoll. Es fehlten allerdings Haken, insbesondere im Bad. Die Treppe war sehr steil und eng. Gut geeignet für Bergsteiger.
Im Treppenhaus stank es fürchterlich nac Zigarettenqualm, den man auch in der Wohnung riechen konnte. Das gesamte Haus stank grässlich nach Zigarettenqualm.
- Billal (7/5): -
- Peter (7/5): Brilliant town, okay accommodation. - Good location near the centre of the medina and close to the busy fishing port in this beautiful town. The style of the renovation was basic - probably a bit too basic for real comfort and enjoyment.
The check in was done by WhatsApp and online and basic and impersonal.
- Raina (9/5): Beeindruckendes altes Gemäuer - Zentrale Lage. Etwas schwer zu finden. Komplikationslose Abwicklung - alles online - Bezahlung, Ausfüllen der Formulare etc; man wird einer WhatsApp Gruppe hinzugefügt für Infos, Tipps und Rückfragen. Check in per Schlüsselbox. Steile Treppen. Beeindruckendes altes Gemäuer. Sehr schöne Unterkunft. Küche und Dachterrasse vorhanden. Parkplatz für das Auto vor den Toren der Altstadt für wenig Geld.
- ABDELAZIZ (2/5): Unworthy - Communication catastrophic the doorman was useless to say the least . Zero value for money and no breakfast . More of a airbnb than anything else . Mattress was nt comfortable the upper bed can be reach with a swagger metalilic latter .
- yucef.g (10/5): - Le riad est plein de charme, très propre et décoré avec goût, fidèle aux photos. L’emplacement est parfait.
- EILEEN (8/5): Clean quirky property in central location for medina, - Good central location, clean facilities and authentic property The ladder to the upstairs bed was quite precarious and should be improved. The shower drainage was very slow resulting in delayed times for showering

- Matilda (10/5): -
- Christina (8/5): -
- Jane (8/5): Great - Location was great Must be aware lots of steep stairs
- Richard (10/5): Fantastic spot in the heart of the medina - Beautiful traditional property, fantastic location. Exactly like the pictures. We liked the roof terrace area. My daughter loved watching the sun set and the stars. Nothing
- Nicola (10/5): -
- mohammed (5/5): - Proximité Trop cher pour un service absent
Pas de wifi pas de télévision
2 lit et une douche pour 300€
Cet plus cher qu’un hôtel avec petit déjeuner
- NICOLE (8/5): - L'emplacement La difficulté de trouver le lieu, pas indiqué
- Ichrak (9/5): Great :) - The rooftop, the size of the bedroom, the size of the beds, and the furniture.
- Sharlène51 (10/5): Magnifique lieu - Magnifique lieu typique, l'emplacement est parfait. Endroit très propre. Nous recommandons fortement nous avons tout apprécié. Si je devais dire un point négatif ça serait le bruit pas insonorisées, on entend les personnes allé aux toilettes et beaucoup l extérieur.
- Oliver (9/5): Sehr schön gemachtes Haus mit individuellen Zimmer - Uns hat das Zimmer sehr gefallen. Die Betten sind bequem, das Bad ist groß.
Vom Dach hat man einen herrlichen Blick
Die Lage ist auch gut mittendrin!
- Julian (10/5): -
- Khaoula (9/5): - L'emplacement, la gentillesse et la serviabilité du personnel, les équipements mis à disposition. L'odeur de moisissure car c'était peu aéré et ensoleillé.
- Guechchati (9/5): -
- Hamza (10/5): - The place looked exactly like the photos, very clean and well maintained.
- San Martin (10/5): Alojamiento con mucho encanto! - El alojamiento es precioso, y está muy bien equipado.
Los niños estaban felices de dormir en el altillo.
Las vistas de la terraza son espectaculares. nada, todo estupendo
- sophie (4/5): Trop humide! Confort vraiment rudimentaire. - Juste la déco sommaire mais sympa L’humidité très forte dans la chambre, et surtout l’odeur d’humidité était très dérangeante, un déshumidificateur serait le bienvenu!
La porte de la chambre fermée juste avec un cadenas et une serviette de table à carreaux accrochée sur la vitre au dessus de la porte comme occultant…
Les bruits de la rue la nuit
- Sam (9/5): Parfait - Très bien placé, charmant Légère odeur d'humidité de bord de mer
- cedric (9/5): Très agréable - Appartement absolument magnifique, décoré avec goût
Emplacement idéal, nous avons passé un magnifique séjour en famille avec un très bel accueil et beaucoup de gentillesse Des portes serviettes dans la salle de bain serait l’idéal
- Jessica (9/5): A nice property with traditional vibe and easy access to anywhere in the old town. - There is a lot of space within the property. Dar ferrane is conveniently located in the Medina next to Mandala Society but maintains its tranquility. The owner Mr. Fabio was very gracious to grant access to the second room to my friend so that he could stay comfortably. Thank you very much for your kind gesture.
- Yves (8/5): Very good -
- Hannah (5/5): Beautiful building but very overpriced - The location is perfect, everywhere you wish to explore is walking distance but tucked away so it’s quiet and safe. You are really in the heart of the Medina (including the surrounding mosques). The building is beautiful and the warm reception from the staff is wonderful, the WiFi is also excellent in every room so working from there was very easy.
It’s a great stay - but for a couple of nights only. It’s a nice property but it is very over priced: it is just a 2 bedroom (2 bathroom) Riad; Breakfast is extra, transport is extra and there are no basic items like shower gel, shampoo or even water, it felt like everything you needed had an extra price list.
It’s a beautiful building but the renovations are still very new and not quite finished. Both bathrooms have drainage problems so we had days of flooded floors and had to message to ask for clean towels, the bed was also very very hard with thin bedding, so it was not the most comfortable night. For the price there are much better value options, but a few changes and this could be much much better.
