179, Chbanate, 44000 Essaouira, Morocco –

Lock in a great price for Riad Chbanate – rated 9.6 by recent guests!

to get started.

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!

Margaret, United Kingdom

As a family of 5, we had 3 rooms in Riad Chbanate. I thought all the rooms were sufficiently spacious and had a very soothing vibe. The beds were great as were the bathtub/showers. The location is good for getting in with your bags since the medina is closed to cars, but it is a bit of a walk (7-10 min) to other places. Would still definitely recommend staying here though!

Maria, United States of America

Cozy, friendly, beautiful property in he middle of the Médina.

Susanna, United States of America

We enjoyed the top suite at Chbanate -- the view was terrific. Fantastic staff. A great place to stay in Essaouira

Jonathan, United States of America

The eggs were fluffy, the bed comfortable, the room well appointed and the staff helpful and friendly.

Anna, United States of America

The breakfast was so good. I wanted to stay forever and keep eating the crepes. Completely delicious. The Riad also served wine and beer which was really nice since very few places did. Our room was on the top floor - so it was very private and so beautiful. Incredible panoramic views

Kirsten, United States of America

Thw staff were very friendly going out of their way to help us. The food was good and the facilities were of a high standard. The staff were very accommodating and provided an early breakfast for my husband who had booked an early kite surfing lesson.
