Innhwa, Austria

Samuel, United Kingdom

Could not find fault with this lovely little riad right in the centre of the medina. The price was amazing, our room was airy, clean and spacious with a great shower. Yes we overlooked the street but hey this is Essauoira and who cares about a little street noise! The staff were friendly and helpful despite my terrible french.. we would highly recommend this little gem..breakfast was very good too with the added delight of two baby seagulls on the pharmacy rooftop. I can see where some of the negative comments come from but this is Morocco at Moroccan prices not the south of France!

Loppylonglegs, United Kingdom

What's not to like!? It is amazing value for money, the staff were lovely, smily and helpful, the hostel is on the central street with an amazing roof terrace, breakfast is included and was delicious (especially the orange juice and coffee!) - great place to relax in a great city!

Geefee, United Kingdom

Excellent location. Friendly staff. Generous breakfast. Authentic experience.

Antonio, France

Friendly welcome, nothing too much trouble, good breakfast with friendly service.

눉I somehow wasn't Aware that the terrace in front of my room was open to all guests of the Riad, so I had people chatting right in front of my window until late at night and again early in morning, as breakfast was served, there. When I mentioned that to the staff I was immediately given another room!
눇Generosity and Flexibility of staff to adapt to my wishes and requests!

눇The 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

눉We did not have internet for the whole of our stay (2 days) nor compensation for it. The room is very small specially compared to all other riads we have been before. You get the light through the window and wake you up, so does the noise from outside. Breakfast is served in the terrace which is not very clean and seagulls are awaiting to eat your food. Coffe is not very good (with a lot of sediment). They mentioned a 24 h reception but we didn't see anyone there when we were looking for them. There is No TV room in the location as mentioned in the description. Overall no good value for money. We would not repeat.
눇Location is not bad but noisy

“Great location but some improvements are needed.”
- • Leisure trip

눉The riad itself is good and the location is perfect. However, communication prior to the stay was inexistent. I tried to reach the riad beforehand to arrange check in time (we would arrive around lunch time and weren't sure the bedrooms could be ready) and the best way to get there and got no response. When the group arrived, there was no greeting, we were just handed check in forms and the bedrooms weren't ready. I found it quite impersonal. Breakfast could also be improved.

눉Nothing- our stay was perfect.
눇The staff at riad grand large are so kind and helpful but in a hands off way, just the right balance of customer service. The roof top balcony is also a welcoming calm retreat from the hectic medina.

“Cheaters! Dont go there”

눉I really do not understand positive comments on this hotel. We book an amazing light room with window (based on pictures) and we got dirty+mouldy, dark, no window, noisy room. First I saw the room I kindly asked lady Fatifa to change our room for the one we booked but she said this one is full (really? Even if I booked it?) so after I asked she gave me discount what I found fair enough and we both happily agreed on TOTAL price. No problem for me. Next day while we paid she charged us extra fees even though she agreed day before to have a discount. At the end we paid the same price as we would not have any discount and I did not have energy to argue any more. I am not even talking about she gave me probably manager on phone who was shouting to me and arrogantly saying we need to pay more than they said before. While checking out I asked for late check out (12->13:30 o'clock) and they said NO although I have it approved on booking reservation! They do not care about their costumers at all and only thing they want is your money without providing any service. Our room was dirty, mouldy, disgusting bathroom and noisy.
눇Lady who served breakfast was lovely but that's all what was good in this hotel

눉Quite noisy if you have a window on the street side of the building, but I guess that's inevitable in the middle of the medina !
눇Good central location in market area. Excellent broadband. Basic, but excellent value for money.
