Comfortable bed, luxurious bathroom with great water pressure and temperature, beautiful decor, rooftop deck, fireplace in the lobby and in our room.
United States of AmericaBeautiful 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.
United States of AmericaGreat 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.
Czech RepublicThe staff was exceptional and very welcoming. Great recommendations for things to do and see while in Essaouira.
United States of AmericaBeautiful 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.
United States of AmericaThe lobby area and staff were wonderful and helpful. Our room had an incredible view!
United States of AmericaThe Riad is beautifull, we stayed in the room with the swinging seat which is lovley.

United States of AmericaOur room was suberb with a great view over the ceilings in the Medina.
SwitzerlandThe 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!
