    Excellent place to stay in Essaouira
    • Leisure trip

    • Standard Double Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    The shower could be improved (the was a small issue with the handset and low pressure). Curtains are not long enough to cover the entire windows. But these details are easy to fix, nothing to be worried about given the cost/benefit of the entire experience.

    Fantastic experience thanks to the amazing hospitality of Thierry and Nadia. Very helpful in their way of welcoming us. The place is perfect and so is the breakfast. Super clean. The place is particularly adapt if you come to Essaouira by car, as you can easily park nearby (instead of ending up paying the parking near the old medina). It's definitely more quiet than the old medina. Rooftop is a nice plus! Very good vibes!

    There wasn't anything I didn't like, actually it took me a while to figure the keys, they turn differently in Morocco but it wasn't a problem.

    It's very peaceful, it's in a local & safe area, it's a pleasant walk to the centre of the old town. The roof top has plenty of space for all occupants. The rooms were clean and comfortable, I had a bedroom, bathroom and lounge, enough space for me!! The breakfasts were delicious and ample

    The Riad is located a little away from the Medina and sea front, which meant a reasonable walk (or very inexpensive local taxi) to get to the areas you might want to visit. It is not so far to be a problem if you are healthy and mobile - and actually helps to keep you fit!

    Nadia and Thierry were lovely, very welcoming and helpful. They gave us good local information and tips to help us make the most of our stay. Nadia arranged transfers for us to and from the Riad without any fuss and which worked perfectly. The room was very spacious and the breakfast was really tasty and served in the beautiful setting of the Riad courtyard.

    I highly recommend Riad Salmiya Dune for all the reasons! I start with the location: a quiet street with easy access to the beach and many services. The accommodation is wonderful! Everything is very clean and well decorated, with a magnificent atmosphere! The facilities are many and make us feel at home. The rooms accommodate families with children very well. The breakfast is incredible, very filling, quality and delicious. Nadia is a very attentive and receptive person and we will certainly return. :)

    Nothing

    We're a family of four and had a wonderful stay at Riad Salmiya Dune, The Riad was lovely and clean and very comfortable. The roof terrace was a great place to relax after long days seeing the sights and before heading in to the Medina for dinner. Nadia, our host, was wonderful and helpful. The beach was only a 10-minute walk away and a further 20 mins along the beach was the Medina. The sunsets were simply incredible! We wouldnt hesitate to stay here again.

    everything was good. The only thing was a family with small children, the youngest of which was crying and shouting and that family behaved as if they were the only guests in the hotel. Without any regard for others. But that has nothing to do with the hotel and the hosts, who are really pleasant.

    romantic small hotel. A good hostess who gave us super useful tips. Very nice breakfast

    What a magical place to stay. The owners were so friendly and helpful; the Riad is stunning and comfortable. It is not inside the medina which we liked very much: it was quiet, with local shops around, close to the beach, and parking spaces. We can not recommend enough this place to stay in Essaouira. Thank you for making our short time there very special.

    The owners of the Riad were so friendly and helpfull. The last morning we had to leave early to the AirPort, so they prepared a breakfast tray for us. The location is just just outside the medina in a quiet neaborhood, we could walk to the beach and the medina. Our room was very comfortabel. We recommend this place.

    The Riad is very nice and typical and the owners are so helpful and do everything to make us comfortable! It’s conveniently located in between the beach and the old town, and also there’s parking in front which is handy. The family suite was very convenient for the 4 of us, and we alternated beach ( with quad), and exploring the gorgeous old town. A very good trip and we would highly recommend the Riad!
