The hotel is in the heart of the medina, in the old city, everything is within walking distance, i was worried it would be noisy, but it was very quite at night, it's surrounded by other small hotels, breakfast is on the rooftop and not a buffet, they bring you out a set menu of pancakes, yogurt etc.....

Margaret Israel

really close to the centre, nice staff (and they speak multiple languages), everything so clean, room with AC

Camila France

Very pleasant Riad in the center. Nicely located in Medina with easy access to the markets and the main square. Very convenient location. The staff was very friendly. The room, the beds and the bathroom were clean. It's a typical riad, it's interesting to see for tourists. The breakfast was good and WiFi worked well. I would definitely come back again

Eleonora Thailand

I liked the architecture of the hotel, the courtyard had pretty tiles and also outside my room. I liked the breakfast, the eggs, bread and orange juice all fresh. I also liked that the breakfast was served on rooftop. All the staff were both polite and friendly. I liked the location, very close to the market square. It was nice being in historic old town. I would definitely recommend this hotel to family and friends if they are traveling to Marrakech.

Hotel essaouira
Hotel-Riad Essaouira located in the Medina, is in a short distance from "Djemaa el Fna". It has been recently renovated to meet the expectations of our valued guests. This institution was built in the 1960s and has kept its good value and loyal customers.. The rooms are spread around a beautiful patio, fountain in the middle and carved cedar ceiling-, the thing that makes it a unique experience of its own. If you are looking for peace and tranquility after a long day walking amongst the Marrakech Medina streets, then you have to visit hotel Essaouira. It's terrace is offering a slendid view over la medina and the Koutoubia mosque. You can also have a cup of tea while enjoying a sun bath. It is a quality address.
