Lock in a great price for Riad Bab Essaouira - rated 8.8 by recent guests.

to get started.

The building is located in the centre of the medina and it is a beautiful oasis. We had a whole floor for us with television, lounge and big bathroom. The whole house has a beautiful moroccan style handcrafted by the owners who are artists. You feel extremely welcomed by the heartwarming staff. The breakfast is also extremely delicious. I can't recommend this stay enough and we will be there again if we are going to stay again in Essaouira.

Spro, Malaysia

The owners are very welcoming and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. He even walked with us to a parking area outside the medina to make sure we are not paying too much. The rooms are cozy and clean and have all you need for a pleasant stay. The breakfast was delicious and fresh made. Whenever there is something you need the hosts will do their best to help you! This stands out at this riad and we really appreciate it.

Giovanni, Italy

Cozy riad, Simon is an excellent host. He picked us up from the main square, prepared tasty breakfast, gave valuable advice for shopping. Perfect stay.

Sylvia, Slovakia

Everything, this Riad and its staff are amazing. It's located in the very heart of the Medina, but in a very quite lateral alley. The building is lovely decorated by an artisan that also have a wonderful shop in the Medina. The rooms and the facilities are sparking clean. The staff is super, and the breakfast in the terrace is the best way to start a day in this amazing city.

Erika, Denmark

The owners were so welcoming and friendly, truly generous hosts. It's like staying in a family home. Breakfasts served on our terrace was a bonus.

Jill, France

Loved the charming décor and the ocean/rooftop view from the terrace. Staff were friendly and helpful. Excellent location in a very desirable, beautiful resort town. Plenty of art and culture all around.

“Location very central. Staff just lovely- gave us a free cooking lesson and treated us to a enjoyable evening. Room very comfortable and clean. Can't recommend it highly enough”

Carole

United Kingdom

“This was an impromptu trip for one night booked at the last minute and was very straightforward. The directions were easy to follow and we found the Riad was decorated to a high standard. Khadija was very welcoming and offered us tea when we arrived. Breakfast was great and Khadija kindly allowed us to leave our bags while we explored the town the following day and hang out on the roof terrace with coffee later as our return bus didn't leave until 6pm. Really friendly and helpful staff and I should mention that we are an LGBT couple and had no problems at all.”

눉Little bit hard to find. You have to watch out for a sign “chill out hostel” in the main souk street which leads you to the riad in a little side street.
