First we were put in a room away from the main (renovated) Riad. The bathroom was very old. On our way there was renovation made. The WiFi didn’t work. We complained and we got another suite then. The suite was amazing and new. Everything was very clean apart from the fitting in the bathroom.

The location is great. You step outside and you are in the middle of the old Medina. A lot of restaurants and shops. We enjoyed it so much.

Beautiful riad, spacious room, great location in the medina but still calm & close to the sea. Had a relaxing stay with check-out at 12 pm.

The bathroom is inside the room with no windows to the outside - I was there in winter and it was already quite humid. In summer I can imagine it gets very humid. Having a water scraper to clear excee water could help. And a bathmat outside the bathroom so you can dry your feet when you come out (as shower is open to the bathroom). Breakfast could be a bit more exciting - there are lots of options but bread a bit stale and quality of produce not so high.

Great location right in the middle of the Medina but very quiet (I was there during Ramadan so it was perhaps quieter than usual). Spacious room, nice and clean. Traditional style of building, very charming. Lots of German and French retirees :)

Everything was perfect!

You can’t ask for a better location in Essaouria, restaurants, coffee shops and market stalls right in your doorstep. The staff were absolutely brilliant and left my hubby and I a note for our anniversary. They gave us a brilliant duplex room too which has more than enough space for more people with a balcony!!!!

The breakfast was poor. No cheese, no decent sausages. Generally not many items. Nothing gluten free for my partner.

Very centrally located in the old walled city. Clean room.

Nothing. It was great.

Beautiful building located right at the heart of the Medina, but easy access just 300m or so from Taxis Realky lovely room, the place is so interesting, the main area was beautiful as was the restaurant but I was on just a quick stay so did not eat in or have breakfast. Great value. Will go back.

As others have mentioned it is very close to 3 loudspeakers for the call to prayer and so yes, it's very loud, but I got used to it and I fell back to sleep after it was over. I actually love it because for me, it's part of the experience of being in a Muslim country. The doors open and close very loudly and I could hear people cough or sneeze, so the walls are not very thick ..but for me it was a minor inconvenience to stay in such an old and lovely place!

I loved staying at this beautiful Riad. The staff were great, very helpful, and I loved sitting in the open courtyard enjoying the scenery while drinking a glass of wine or having my morning breakfast. The location is ideal in the medina and it felt like a sanctuary. I tried their Hammam and had a massage - good experience. I ate several dinners there and the food was great. My room was cozy; there was a heavy soft blanket and a great little space heater. It was plenty big enough for me as a solo traveler. They made my bed every day and brought me fresh towels, which I actually didn't need, but it was nice! I'd stay here again without hesitation! Oh, and there is an awesome orange and white cat 😺 that lives here who I adored and...I added one extra night to extend my stay in Essaouira

Beautifully built plant potted courtyard riad. Staff spot on. Skilled, chatty, helpful and easily capable of maintaining a quality stay in a raft of ways. Great location. Very relaxing. My only quibble is that they don't have a suspended swimming pool they can raise or lower into the sun...

Our larger suite Dakhla could be nicer. It was sparse and it easily cold our stay. I wish the extra heaters offered would already be in the room.

The staff was helpful, generous and kind. We all loved them.

The room could be a little cleaner. It was a little damp and the heater in the room wasn’t the best.

The location was perfect, it was easy to find in the Medina. The night shift employee was super helpful and friendly. It’s a traditional style riad. Enjoyed our short stay in Essourara.

The Riad is delightful and the staff are helpful. The location is good with easy access to the souk and the main square.

Riad al Madina was a little oasis right in the middle of all the hustle and bustle - we couldn’t have asked for a better location. The staff were helpful and attentive throughout our stay even down to arranging our transfers from and back to the airport. Essaouira did not disappoint and we’re glad we chose this lovely coastal resort to experience Morroco as it is definitely much more chilled and relaxed compared to Marrakech.

Some parts were a bit shabby; but that is to be expected in this part of the world with the humidity

Classic historic Riad with great character in the heart of Essaouira. Magical to hear the Oud being played in the courtyard one evening.

The wifi didn’t reach the room. No amenities in the room (bathroom didn’t have shampoo/balsam, no welcome water etc).

The location is exceptional. The hall is beautiful and the room was very spacious. Moreover, reception was open 24/7 and the hotel’s vibe was very chill.

great location, in the heart of the Medina and great value for money for a whole suite!

Make sure you negotiate taxi price to airport

Nice riad in the middle of the medina!!! Nice restaurants nearby and they arranged a taxi for me

Due to the thick walls, you had to find the right spot to access wifi, but you always could.

Such a beautiful old Riad, a calm in the storm of Essouria. The room was on 2 levels with a sitting room and bedroom on one level and bathroom up top. It was a little tired but very cool old style tiles and feel. The windows were double, so even though you were on a busy street, as soon as you closed the windows it was quiet….
