to get started.

At the front desk, Abdullatif gave very clear and concise information on the map. I had studied the sightseeing options but he chose good priorities for me. He is a very polite and helpful person. Thank you, Abdul. The hotel is very close to the main square. Wi-fi and airport transfers worked flawlessly. The hotel has a great Moroccon atmosphere that I liked.

Great location! The staff was very friendly. Breakfast was good. The room has air conditioning.

The room was comfortable and the riad was beautiful. The location was also top notch right next to all the souks/main plaza!

Sean

Top notch, clean room in a great location. I felt perfectly safe staying here as a solo traveler (it's just a few meters from a major thoroughfare in the medina) and thought the room was quite cute (the white and blue tile motif is gorgeous).

Wonderful location! Very close to the square, and as a solo female traveler I feel safe walking back late at night. Nicely designed riad and I like having breakfast at the rooftop terrace. They provide typical Moroccan breakfast and have maid clean the room every day.

We love everything about this hotel: the amazing staff, great breakfast, perfect location ( just a minute walk to Jemaa El Fnaa), interior design, and the outstanding cleanliness. Our linens including the bath towels were changed every single day. And cleaning the rooms were done daily too. I would highly recommend to everyone visiting Marrakech.

Location was great, rooms were OK, value for money

Goggo

The hotel is amazing, centrally located, in the middle of Medina, close to anything you need, but also not on the main street so it was quiet and hidden from the non stop rush. The rooms are big enough, clean, comfortable. There is also hot water running all the time (which is something very rare in a riad in Medina). The breakfast is fresh every day and even if it's basically the same, it is nice to have fresh moroccan goodies every morning. The terrace is a big plus, you can enjoy your coffee outside. And the staff was great, they speak a good English, helped us with all our questions and also printed our boarding passes. I'd definitely recommend this place!

first l came to Marrakech. so it was all very exciting. until I arrived at the hotel and noticed that the staff was not customer friendly. he only mentioned my name and did not ask how my trip was. he also did not give me a tour of the riad. despite the fact that everything went well.
The cleaning ladies and gentleman from the catering did perfectly. Next time this hotel for me again. excellent

There were many ants in the bathroom but the riad was otherwise very clean.
I stayed in three different rooms at this riad during the course of my Moroccan holiday, having started in Marrakech then returning at the end of my trip, and it is definitely the most beautiful riad I stayed in throughout my entire trip. The rooms were comfortable with great air conditioning. The breakfast was great with freshly squeezed orange juice. The staff were friendly and helpful as well. It is a minute walk to the main square with lots of shopping and food in that area, plus close to the main sites in Marrakech. Highly recommend this riad!!

Our stay at Riad Essaouira was really nice. The riad is very gorgeous and clean and the breakfast on the terrace was delicious. The location was perfect because it’s 1min walk to many shops, Djemma el-fna & Souk. But the best part was the extraordinary Staff member, Mustapha, he took care of us from beginning til the end of our stay and went above and beyond to satisfy our needs. He is an exceptional person and we we’re lucky to meet him as our trip to Marrakech wouldn’t have been as perfect without him.
