United States of Americabreakfast was excellent, the location was great ,the architecture is amazing, the service is great,
CanadaThe breakfast was very good. We were happy to have a different selection each day. We also had 1 dinner there which as expected was excellent. We had a traditional fish tajine and the "terre merre" which was more modern in the approach but still had the Morrocan flavor essence. Housekeeping was alsovery nice
United States of AmericaThis is simply a very nice hotel set into an old courtyard house
CanadaRiad Malaïka was a dream. We had a really wonderful stay. Everything was perfect! The staff was so friendly, the riad itself was absolutely stunning - a gem - the location couldn't have been better, the room was great, the roof terrace was perfect, and the food was outstanding! We were so surprised by the food- it really was the best we had in Essaouira. We liked it so much we dined there twice. And breakfast was great too! Thank you Riad Malaïka, we can't wait to come back again to stay with you!
United States of AmericaThe riad is beautifully appointed and our rooms were comfortable with a unique local flair. Communications with the staff (in english and french) was easy, very prompt, and thorough. They were happy to help arrange transfers - we took the bus Marrakech to Essaouira and a private car (80E) back to the Marrakech airport. Definitely eat a dinner at the Riad! So delicious! We also recommend stopping by the fishermen's wharf for fresh oysters.
GreeceI enjoyed the beautiful Raid and how it was decorated. So much attention to the little details, we also enjoyed that the fire was usually going and it made it cozy and warm. Abdellah was really helpful.
