2, Rue Oum Rabia, 44 000 Essaouira, Morocco –

Lock in a great price for Riad Le Grand Large – rated 8 by recent guests!

to get started.

The place old but in very good shaoe, clean super quite. And above all a friendy flexibale staff. My thanks to Madam Zahra. Allah 3amarha wa sakhar fiha. And the native people of Esouira are great hosts( Allah 3amarha sil3a.)

Boubekeur, Morocco

Location was great, however very noisy until 2am as my room window was facing the street. Breakfast was delicious, clean everywhere.

L, Hong Kong

Great location in the middle of the souks and an easy walk from the bus station. Lost of shops and restaurants around, not far from the beach. Breakfast on the rooftop patio consisted of toasted bread, butter, jam, coffee, juice, and another item that changed daily

Robynn, Canada

Friendly staff. Nice bathroom. Comfortable bed. Small closet.

Ken302, United States of America

I liked breakfast on the roof. Bed was very comfotable. Quiet nights. Hot shower.

Fred, United States of America

The room was really large and overlooked the Medina. Great terrace to enjoy the sun and have breakfast. Riad also offers water, tea and coffee onsite which was really nice. Would totally recommend this riad.

Abigail, Canada

Room was a bit cramped, but clean and comfortable. WiFi worked, nice rooftop terrace, freshly squeezed orange juice for breakfast. Nice staff.

Annixmalx, Germany

The location is great, right in the medina off one of the main alleys. The room was fine: more on the basic side of a riad room, bathroom was a little run down and the sink didn't drain well plus the shower curtain had no effect whatsoever on the water seeping onto the floor so there was a constant pool of water in the bathroom at all times. But, the price was really cheap; so I guess it'd be comparable to staying in a private room in a hostel. One huge plus however: the give you a key to the outer door along with your room key so you can come and go at all hours without disturbing anyone

Fran, United States of America

very convenient location right in the centre of Medina, pleasant and helpful staff. We really enjoyed staying there

Marek, Czech Republic

Overall interior was good, roof terrace was pleasant and breakfast that we were served was fine. Location was also very convenient. This place could've achieved much more with some effort put into it, wasted potential.

Stay in the Heart of Essaouira –

Boasting a superb view over the medina and located in the heart of Essaouira's historic center, this enchanting guest house is set around a luminous patio, which leads to a Moroccan living room.

Built around the communal patio the rooms feature characteristic Moroccan décor. They are also fully equipped with a private bathroom.

Close to the Souks (markets) and not far from the port and the beach, during your stay you can also enjoy a visit to the local ancient natural sites on foot, horseback or with a camel ride.

This is our guests' favorite part of Essaouira, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.1 for a two-person trip.

We had the room without any window, it smelled musty, there was no air conditioner, the bathroom was dirty, with rusted basin outflow. On the bed we had only two pillows and a thin blanket, no proper bedsheets at all. Pillowcases looked as if they weren't changed regularly. Additionaly Wi-Fi was working terribly, it was almost impossible to check something more complex.
Overall interior was good, roof terrace was pleasant and breakfast that we were served was fine. Location was also very convenient. This place could've achieved much more with some effort put into it, wasted potential.

The rooms with windows to the market are quite loud. The windows don’t shut probably so it can be very windy at night. The staff is nice but very anonymous. You feel comfortable but „not at home“.
It is a very clean, nice Riad. With good breakfast on the roof terrace. Travelling with the baby was no problem at all.

Was a little difficult to locate at first since the directional poster is not well illuminated and attached on the top of the street. Maybe it could be useful a signage at eye-level at the beginning of the street.
Beautiful Riad in the Medina of Essaouira, located one of the main market street and surrounded by beautiful shops and restaurants. Breakfast was very Moroccan/French: tasty and beautiful on the rooftop with seagulls and the first sun rays. Cozy structure and room very clean. Loved the bathroom with a large shower!
