Super friendly & helpful host at the Riad. Thank you

Kathi Ireland

The riad is in good position and Simo was a great host!

Paolo Italy

everything was first class ,central location and simo was one of the most helpful persons I have known

Steven United Kingdom

Great host and good breakfast. We got a free upgrade from the ground floor room to the second floor room (which was much better).

Menno Netherlands

Simo is a very careful host, offering good advice and suggesting places to eat and to visit. He prepares a very tasty breakfast, with excellent coffee, fresh juice and three types of bread. And: he provides a truly good music selection making breakfast in the salon to something you are looking for every morning! The situation of the riad in the town is excellent, you really are in the heart of the medieval Medina, just a few steps from the souq yet in a very quiet quarter and far away from all hustle. We had a room with a small private terrasse, and from the main roof terrasse you have a wonderful view over the old city.

Christine Austria

Simo is a great host! He makes you feel like you are at home and the place is great (as the breakfast!). We also met a really nice couple staying over at the same place. I definitely recommended it!

Nicole Spain

Simo was a great host and gave us lots of tips about what to see, where to eat in the town. He was very welcoming and generous. The breakfast was superb and the location was central. I would stay again.

Nessa Ireland

Really friendly owner. Help us with everything. Terace on the roof amazing to sitting until sun goes down with a botle of wine. 50m from main old tourist streets

Jakub Czech Republic

The amazing art and carvings all over the riad done by the owners!

Catherine United Kingdom

Simo was instrumental in this stay. Always polite and helpful, he provided us with all the necessary information for a fantastic stay. We have found a new friend in Essaouira!
