Guest Reviews
- Juliette (9/5): Excellente adresse - Idéalement situé
Très propre
Super déco
Hammam et massage super Pommeau de douche abîmé
Peu de pression
- Katarzyna (10/5): Polecam - Piękny, klimatyczny riad. Lokalizacja super Brak
- alain (9/5): décors exceptionnels - un cadre exceptionnel : un palais des mille et une nuits
décors fabuleux : un ryad magnifique au coeur de la médina avec roof top vue sur mer le petit déjeuner n'est pas à la hauteur de la qualité du Ryad
- Francisco Jose (10/5): -
- Andreea (3/5): passez votre chemin! Bon emplacement, près de la plage et la médina mais c'est tout! - le seul point positif fut l'emplacement Les chambres sont hyper sombres et peu voire pas aérées
le petit déjeuner médiocre: à par le jus d'orange et les msemens, tout le reste est bas de gamme (pains au chocolat immangeables!, meme l'oeuf à la coque était raté, trois jours de suite! à croire que c'est fait exprès)
- Jacky (9/5): - Le calme du lieu à deux pas de la médina.
Le rooftop pour un bain de soleil. Le manque de variété au petit déjeuner...
- Sara Idahajoub (10/5): - Lovely
- MARC (9/5): Exceptionnel - La surface et l'équipement de la chambre, la décoration soignée, la beauté du riad et une super situation géographique. Un service au top et un copieux et excellent petit déjeuner. Le lavabo pas pratique car trop haut pour nous.
- Rita (10/5): - What a beautiful riad , fantastic breakfast, very good location right in the heart of Medina, if you ever stay ask for room 25 it's outstanding looking room like a kings palace
- Saad (8/5): -
- Cecile (9/5): - Le riad est magnifique et très bien situé L'accueil est assez impersonnel mais bon néanmoins
- olivier (3/5): A ne pas recommander - Accueil desagreable.
- Christophe (10/5): - Localisation, propreté, ambiance marocaine.
Gentillesse du personnel Tout était parfait
- Annioke (10/5): A fantastic comfortable riad in a great location - Fabulous location. Very ornate palatial room. Good breakfast
Very comfortable and high quality linens etc
Great spa. Fantastic hamam experience.
A fabulous Riad and will definately be returning highly recommend. I felt the breakfast was the same each day would have been nice to change it .
The sun terrace could do with more comfortable furniture and was under utilised. A plunge pool would have been great.
- Reine (10/5): -
- ELISABETTA (9/5): - Ottima posizione, camera molto spaziosa,bagno grandissimo,letto molto confortevole. Posso fare una precisazione è bene specificare meglio la camera in fase di prenotazione perché quelle sulle foto non sono tutte le camere e ti può capitare diversa e non fa piacere scoprire quando arrivi anche se sempre molto bella.
- MAUN (10/5): -
- Valentin (10/5): -
- Richard (10/5): Unbelievably beautiful large room, , help full staff perfect perfect location - Unbelievably beautiful riad in a fantastic location with incredibly helpful staff. I’m sorry not to have her name but the woman at the front desk helped us in every way including prepared the night before we left because we had to leave early early. The room was Incredibles large and gorgeous. Amazing location right in the Medina not too deep so it’s easily reached. It was extremely clean. I highly recommend staying in here. Nothing
- Charis (9/5): - Τοποθεσία
Δωμάτια
Ευγενικό προσωπικό Το πρωινό να ήταν ελάχιστα καλύτερο
Κάθε μέρα το ιδιο
- Aurélie (10/5): Un magnifique riad au coeur de la Médina - Le choix de la chambre, l'accueil, l'architecture intérieure magnifique et le super emplacement dans la médina
- Corinne (9/5): Super séjour. Très bon emplacement. Très beau Riad - Accueil et service incroyable
- Jessica (10/5): -
- Jessica (10/5): Beautifully Restored Riad - Wonderful customer service from Sakena and Abdel at reception. At breakfast Zouhair was always ready with a smile.
The hotel is at the edge of the medina less than 5 minutes walk from the taxi stand. The beach, marina, fish market and Squala are also within walking distance. I had a very comfortable room on the 3rd floor. The room was clean and nicely decorated. Although I did not use it, there is a hammam and spa available. I would have used the rooftop lounge, but it was closed for renovations.

- Sara (8/5): Heel ontspannend en prachtige - Personeel was vriendelijk, hulpvaardig . Zachte lakens. Ontbijt mag meer verse tomaten, of kleur en creativiteit tonen.
- francisco (10/5): ¡Totalmente recomendable! - El Mumtaz Mahal es el ejemplo perfecto de Riad palaciego marroquí. Aunque la fachada exterior es discreta y no revela lo que hay dentro, al cruzar la puerta te recibe un hermoso patio interior que cambia por completo la percepción. Un detalle a destacar es que cuenta con un ascensor moderno, algo poco común y muy valorado en este tipo de edificaciones históricas.
La Habitación Simplemente espectacular; las fotos no le hacen justicia. Es como alojarse en las estancias de la Alhambra: Decoración: Estilo andalusí impresionante con mobiliario a juego. Espacio: Tamaño enorme con una cama inmensa y muy cómoda.
Baño: Gran cuarto de baño con una bañera de mármol de dimensiones generosas y ducha moderna.
Detalles: Bien provista de amenities, wifi con excelente funcionamiento y cortesía de agua en la habitación.
La ubicación es excelente y estratégica: Situado junto a la muralla y la medina, en una zona tranquila pero a pocos pasos de la vida comercial y gastronómica.
Muy cerca de uno de los aparcamientos principales, lo que facilita mucho el manejo del equipaje (hay maleteros disponibles en la zona para ayudar con el traslado).
Atención: El personal fue excelente. Al ser un grupo de 6 personas, nos permitieron ver varias habitaciones para elegir. Además, nos facilitaron la custodia de maletas y ayuda para el transporte hasta nuestro vehículo.
Desayuno: Correcto y servido en un comedor junto al precioso patio central.
Instalaciones extra: Ofrecen Spa, Hammam y masajes (aunque no pudimos probarlos por tiempo, tenían una pinta estupenda).
Conclusión: Fue todo un acierto. Nuestra única pena fue pasar solo una noche allí. Si volvemos a Esauira, el Mumtaz Mahal será, sin duda, nuestra primera opción. ¡Totalmente recomendable! nada

- Achilli (9/5): Excellent séjour de 2 nuits dans ce riad. J'y reviendrai. - Très joli riad, excellemment situé, très propre et accueillant. Architecture magnifique et spectaculaire. Les chambres sont très joliment décorées et spacieuses, salles de bain magnifiques également.
Très bon petit-déjeuner, complet.

- Valerie (6/5): Décevant - L’emplacement est idéal pour visiter la ville La chambre que l’on m’avait fait visiter m’avait donné envie de séjourner dans cet hôtel. Quelle déception dans la chambre qui m’a été attribuée 🤨le manque d’Harmonie dans les éléments de la décoration (voir photo). On ne m’avait pas prévenu qu’il fallait payer en espèces au moment du Check in 🫤bref je suis déçue
- Ilona (8/5): -
- Lois (9/5): A lovely riad in Essaouira - thoroughly recommended. - A friendly welcome from the staff who recognised us from a previous visit, huge room, all spotless and comfortable. Lovely breakfasts and a great hammam. Could have stayed longer...!
- Pavel (10/5): Nádherná orientální atmosféra - Naprosto nádherné ubytování s obrovskou vanou.
- Pierre Marc (8/5): -
- Juan Cruz (2/5): - Lo unico "bueno" fue el desayuno. Desde el momento en que llegamos al alojamiento, el chico que trabajaba en recepcion nos trato de una manera inapropiada, altanera y con una muy mala actitud. Nos obligaron a pagar en efectivo porque no les funcionaba la maquina, algo que nunca fue aclarado previamente en Booking o ningun canal de comunicacion. Es cierto que nos devolvieron el fee que el ATM te cobra por retirar efectivo, pero la actitud del personal de recepcion fue mala.
Las habitaciones no tienen ni una sola ventana por lo cual no es posible ventilar el lugar.
La verdad es que no vale la pena calidad-precio. Nos quedamos en muchos lugares distintos de Marruecos que eran mucho mas baratos y de mucha mejor calidad.
- David (8/5): -
- mylene (10/5): - Super emplacement et très beau Riad.
Chambres très spacieuses RAS
- Bill (9/5): Tolles Ambiente von Zimmer und ganzem Riad, sehr zentral - Tolles, landesübliches, umfangreiches Frühstück;
Sehr nettes grosses Zimmer;
großzügiges Bad Dinner im dazu gehörigen Restaurant bescheiden
(zugig, kein frisches Essen)
- Juana Lilian (9/5): - El hotel es muy bonito y está muy cuidado. La cama es muy grande y cómoda. El personal es muy atento.
- Stephan (9/5): -
- Bernard (8/5): Très bon séjour. - Situation géographique idéale. Belle chambre (demander une chambre au 2è étage, sur rue et avec fenêtre). Très propre. Bon petit déjeuner. Ascenseur. Difficultés survenues lors du paiement en CB.
- Anna (10/5): Luxuriös und wunderschön - Tolles geräumiges Zimmer. Gemütliches Bett und top Lage!
- Siham (10/5): - Great stay! The room was clean and comfortable, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the location was perfect. I really enjoyed my time here and would definitely come back. Everything is perfect
- Miguel (10/5): Una estancia maravillosa y mágica. Las camas súper cómodas y de relax. La habitación y las instalaciones me transportaba - El alojamiento fue de encanto, parecía que estaba durmiendo como una princesa. La decoración te llevaba a imaginar un sueño encantado. En general todo excelente

Everything was nice and well maintained. The room was comfortable and the staff were helpful. Overall, a pleasant experience.
- Annemarie (8/5): Prachtige suites en een goede Hamam - Prachtige kamer, we voelden ons net prinsessen. Mooiste riad wat we gezien hebben in Marokko. Sla het ontbijt over, niet de moeite waard. Het werd geserveerd in het ijskoude Libanese restaurant. Voor een viersterren hotel was dit een 1 ster ontbijt. Ga lekker de stad in en ga op het grote plein lekker ontbijten in een rooftop restaurant of bij Nomad.
Betaald parkeren, niet duur trouwens en er staan mannetjes met karretjes klaar om je bagage naar het hotel te brengen. Dit moet je ook zelf betalen. Een echt 4 sterrenhotel zal dit voor je regelen.
- Nicolas (10/5): Le séjour c’est très bien passé, les lits sont très confortable ! L’accueil, le petit dej, l’emplacement sont top. Un gr - Les gérants sont très gentil ! Rien
- Aoualou (10/5): -
- Anca (10/5): - Am apreciat curățenia, personalul, locația superbă ! Camera foarte spațioasă și cu un decor superb!
- Iliann (7/5): -
- Jasper (10/5): Het was een top verblijf waar ik zeker nog een keer ga komen! - Het ziet er prachtig uit en je proeft de cultuur. Het is mooi gemaakt en ziet er strak uit!
- Fatima (8/5): Wonderful stay, I will certainly come back insha Allah - The location, the rooms and the sea view from the roof were amazing, we enjoyed the company of the seagulls at the roof during breakfast time. The stuff were very nice, Mr Zouhir was very caring. Thanks to everyone
- Assunta (10/5): - Oltre le aspettative, tutto perfetto
- Abdulaziz (5/5): -
- Bernard (8/5): Séjour d’une nuit, trop court - Chambre spacieuse et emplacement idéal pour visiter la ville
- Lucia (10/5): Un hotel precioso y bien ubicado. Personal muy amable. Rico desayuno. En resumen, todo perfecto - Me gustó absolutamente todo
- Natalie (9/5): Great staff. Beautiful location - The tiles. The bed Nothing
- Enas Hassan Mohamed (10/5): - It’s was Perfect!
- Celine (8/5): Pour une nuit ou 2 c’est très bien - La décoration très chargée donne un charme fou à cet hôtel, nous avons fait un hammam massage c’était super. C’est sombre, dommage

- Anca (10/5): - Totul minunat! Camera, personalul , poziționarea riadului !
- Giulia (4/5): Non ci siamo per niente - La stanza è la struttura erano molto belli, ma purtroppo la ragazza alla reception è stata molto scortese e ha provato a truffarci. Dicendoci che il pagamento con carta non era possibile perché il macchinario era rotto, ci ha obbligati ad andare a prelevare una cifra abbastanza alta per pagare la camera in contanti, e poi ci ha chiesto di pagare una cifra molto più alta rispetto a quella indicata da Booking nell’’app durante la prenotazione anticipata con l’impegno di pagare in struttura. In particolare la camera costava 93 € ma a noi è stato chiesto di pagare 120 €. Quando ho chiesto delucidazioni, ho mostrato il costo della camera in app e lei si è scusata dicendo che si era sbagliata. Mi è sembrato un comportamento davvero scorretto perché non fossimo stati attenti ci avrebbe fatto pagare 30 € in più. Receptionist molto scortese.

- Andreas (9/5): Indischer Traum - Wunderschöne, indisch inspirierte Zimmer. Die Lage in der Altstadt, in der Nähe des Hafens und des Strandes ist super. Reichhaltiges, frisch zubereitetes Frühstück. Sehr hellhörig. Das Personal könnte freundlicher sein.
Man hätte mitteilen können, dass bedingt durch die Lage keine Zufahrt zum Hotel besteht und man ein gutes Stück außerhalb parken muss. Wer sich nicht auskennt, kassiert schnell ein Knöllchen.
- Beata (10/5): Wonderful. I felt like princess. - Interior, design and spa. Manicure how it was unprofessionally done.
- Holiday Tour (10/5): - Riad meraviglioso tutto bene ordinato
- Nerina (10/5): -
- Robyn (9/5): - We loved the location, so close to everything we needed and wanted! The staff was great and accommodating, they got us breakfast before our long bus ride, earlier then they normally do! Also, the room was MASSIVE! I don't have any notes on the stay.
- Tatyana (10/5): - I had a wonderful stay! The service was exceptional from start to finish. The room was spacious, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. I especially enjoyed the room service and the hammam, both added a really luxurious touch to my stay.
- Simone (10/5): - I don't need to write about one of the best riads of whole Morocco. It was just a dream, you feel you are into aladdin's novel sultan palace. If someone could spot something not good here has serious mind problems.
- Lena (10/5): Превосходно! - Очень вкусно пахнет в отеле!
Локация- самая хорошая. Если вы с чемоданом, то не беспокойтесь- от входа в Медину по улочке всего 20 метров)
Несмотря на то, что это риад, где часто можно слышать, как туристы возвращаются в номера, в этом отеле-риаде такая спокойная создана атмосфера, что невольно все , переступая порог, начинают тихо говорить.
Есть лифт!!! Это огромный бонус.
Великолепный обслуживающий персонал.
Мы заказали завтрак на террасу - и нам в течении 20ти минут, пока мы наслаждались видом на город и океан, сервировали очень сытный, вкусный завтрак. (Омлет, свежий сок, разнообразная выпечка, молоко, кофе, конфитюр..)
Номер прекрасный. Все, как на картинках. Я любовалась деталями- лампы, раковины, купель, ПОТОЛОК в традиционном марокканском стиле.
Все ПРЕВОСХОДНО от порога до кровати(белье постельное высокого качества)
Очень рекомендую.
Спасибо. Все понравилось
- Youssef (8/5): -
- Marlies (8/5): - Sehr gute Lage in der Medina toll Bei der Bezahlung wollten die nur bar keine gute wahl bei internationalen gästen
- Helena (8/5): Suite in Riad - L’arredo in stile marocchino e struttura storica in posizione comoda alla Medina e parking .I suite sono grandi ma alcuni un po’ austeri e buie . Il personale gentile . Hammam e spa un po’ disorganizzati ma bravi e puliti. L’accoglienza e l’organizzazione . Ci sono Riad dove senti maggiore ospitalità e autenticità della zona .
- Juan (10/5): Majistral - Es posiblemente el hotel con más encanto de mi vida viajando
Espectacular felicidades Vicente .
- Michèle (8/5): séjour de découverte agréable en bord de mer - Beaucoup aimé le cadre, la décoration de la chambre, la situation géographique problème d'insonorisation entre les chambres

- Jan (10/5): Perfecte locatie, uitstekende kamers, een goed ontbijt en vriendelijk personeel, - Perfect ontbijt, goed verzorgd en vriendelijke bediening. De locatie is perfect aan de rand van de Medina. Makkelijk bereikbaar en rustig in de nacht. Eigenlijk viel niets tegen.
- captaindagman (8/5): A character hotel in a great location. - We chose this riad because of its superb location within the medina and in walking distance of everything. We were very impressed by the decoration which was inspired by northern India rather than Morocco ( the clue is in the name ). No fridge and no coffee/tea making facilities in the room. We did know this before we booked so cannot complain.
- Ellitiste (10/5): Foarte frumos - Pozitia, camerele Cand se gateste, intra miros de mancare in tot riad-ul, ar trebui gasita o varianta de aerisire
- sarah (10/5): - Amazing breakfast and the location was amazing.
