Poul, Denmark

The rooms were very comfortable and tastefully decorated. The staff was welcoming and helpful. It's in an excellent location, too.

Traveling, Morocco

Excellent service and polite crew! We were upgraded room without any charge. The owner and the staff advised us the best and helped us in organizing a short trip to Moulay! Room was beautiful, clean and fully functional! I would definitely recommend this place to a friend!

Stilianos, Greece

I loved this place, it made me feel like a princess. It has beautifully decorated rooms, a gorgeous interior patio, a lovely area with a chimney and music to rest after strolling the city and a big terrace upstairs to have breakfast under the sun. The super friendly receptionists and the loveliness of Essaouria made it all a perfect and romantic stay.

Anjali, Germany

Upgraded at no extra cost, the owner was very generous and welcoming and gave us great tips and a map as to where to visit and dine. Breakfast was great. Excellent location, quiet, convenient, safe, easy to find and close to everything 'touristy!'

Ingrid, Canada

Best riad ever, they gave us an awsome room though we had booked a smaller one just because it was available and they want us to enjoy the stay. All perfect!

눇Everything was perfect. The owner was very kind and taught me something such as sights of the medina. Breakfast was excellent and I was very satisfied. If you go by car, you can go to the seaside road and the end point will be a public pay parking lot. (It was 30 DH / day / 2017.4.29 Present)

“Loud & annoying party next door otherwise nice rooms, comfortable beds and friendly staff”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Ramsa Duplex Double Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉CAUTION: We visited the Riad beginning of April 2017 and wanted a quite and relaxed experience. Unfortunately the neighboring club/restuarant has a Party from 8pm - 3 AM (at least Friday and Saturday maybe also during the week) and the music is really, really so loud (you can hear it in the whole Riad, we were in a room upstairs which felt as if the Party is direcctly next to us!) that sleeping without earbuds or earphones is nearly impossible. The staff explained that they are having a legal argument since 6 months and are hoping to resolve the problem. So before you book please make sure, that this problem has been resolved!
눇Really nice rooms, very clean, nice breakfast very comfortable bed and directly near harbour/market

“A beautiful traditional Riad, run by wonderful staff”

- • Ramsa Duplex Double Room

눉The main alcohol serving bar is close by, which has live music. This was loud while we stayed over new year as there were festivities to welcome in the new year, which was to be expected. The usual level of noise from that bar (live singers) is not normally as loud and wouldn't bother you at all, if you weren't as early sleepers as us. I had taken earplugs for travelling and didn't hear a thing once I had them in!
눇This is the most beautiful traditional Moroccan riad. Situated close to the port, cafes, bars and the souk, it was convenient for everything on our holiday. We arrived in Essaouira by Supratours coach and paid 20 dirhams for a porter to carry our baggage to the accommodation (cars aren't allowed in the medina). It is in a covered part of the medina, but close to the entrance, so it was fine to walk on my own without feeling concerned. The staff are wonderful, the cleanliness superb and the breakfast good. Our double room was beautiful, with sufficient storage for a week, a comfortable large bed and a decent shower in a good sized bathroom. A closed lounge (i.e. a room of the main atrium, with a door that closes to keep the heat in) was comfortable, warm and welcoming. Essaouira in January, at night, is chilly so this was lovely. The two roof terraces have comfortable chairs for enjoying the sunshine, if you need peace and quiet. I would go back in a flash!
