Comfortable bed, luxurious bathroom with great water pressure and temperature, beautiful decor, rooftop deck, fireplace in the lobby and in our room.

Candace United States of America

Beautiful and peaceful riad. I stayed here as part of my honeymoon and my husband were blown away at the little touches left by the staff (candles, rose petals, and a tray of fruit and nuts when we check in!). The deep ceramic bathtub and supplied bath salts were a lovely and memorable treat. Overall we have a wonderful stay.

Ariana United States of America

Great hotel very close to all the main attractions (market, main street, beach). Staff was extremely helpful and nice, nothing was ever a problem. We'd be definitely back for more.

Stanislav Czech Republic

The staff was exceptional and very welcoming. Great recommendations for things to do and see while in Essaouira.

David United States of America

Beautiful place with extremely friendly staff. We had dinner there one night and it was tremendous. Breakfast was pretty standard with choices on breads, pastries, fruits, yogurt and eggs. They made arrangements for a hammam/spa for us and gave us a great welcome and overview of the city. Our room was a rooftop panoramic suite with a little view of the ocean and wide view of the town. Wonderful location not too far from medina gates so easy to find your way.

Kevin United States of America

The lobby area and staff were wonderful and helpful. Our room had an incredible view!

Sarah United States of America

The Riad is beautifull, we stayed in the room with the swinging seat which is lovley.

Erina New Zealand

Staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. Was probably our favorite Riad we stayed in in all of Morocco.

Tom United States of America

Our room was suberb with a great view over the ceilings in the Medina.

Jafles Switzerland

The staff were wonderfully helpful and friendly, we left feeling like friends it was such a nice place to stay. The breakfast was great. Good coffee, lovely pastries, eggs. The rooms we stayed in were great. A huge bathtub in both and fetching decor. We were very happy!
