I recently had the pleasure of staying at Riad Mogantique, and I can confidently say it is a fantastic gem in Essaouira! Our experience was nothing short of 5 stars, thanks to the exceptional hospitality and warm atmosphere of this lovely riad. From the moment we arrived, Tarik made us feel incredibly welcome. His dedication to customer service is truly commendable, as he went above and beyond to ensure that my family and I had everything we needed during our stay. The warmth and attentiveness of the entire staff made our experience even more special. The riad itself is beautifully designed and impeccably clean, having just opened last week. We appreciated the daily room cleaning, complete with fresh towels and sheets, which added to our comfort. The location is perfect, situated within walking distance of all the city sights, delicious restaurants, cafes, and vibrant markets. Breakfast was a highlight of our mornings, featuring authentic and delicious Moroccan dishes. Abde Al Fatah made sure we had warm bread to enjoy, and the delightful Moroccan tea was the perfect accompaniment. The riad offers a peaceful oasis where we felt safe and relaxed. We enjoyed some sun on the terrace, taking in the superb views of the ocean and the medina skyline. The fast Wi-Fi connection on all floors allowed me to work seamlessly on my laptop, making it easy to balance work and leisure. We also had the pleasure of meeting other kind tourists during our stay, creating a sense of community within the riad. It truly is a safe space, perfect for solo female travelers as well. I highly recommend Riad Mogantique to anyone visiting Essaouira. We will certainly be sending our friends and family here, and we look forward to returning ourselves. Thank you so much Tarik, for taking such good care of us! We can't wait to visit again soon!

Riad Babette is located within the walls of the old city of Essaouira. The owner and his family have beautifully decorated the riad with tasteful touches and beautiful photography throughout. Even though we arrived late in the evening, the owner was willing to prepare a delicious dinner for us. We were warmly welcomed. Our room was beautiful and well appointed. The air conditioning was welcome as it was a bit humid. Wifi worked well in all spaces. Breakfast was delicious. The owner, Mohammed, was very attentive and catered to our every need. For example, we were interested in purchasing some of the traditional inlaid wood trays that Essaouira is famous for. He took us to a shop with pieces of very high quality where we were able to purchase exactly what we wanted in a low pressure environment.

    A beautiful, traditional Riad which was full of authentic typical Morocco decor and lots of lovely green plants. Very nicely done rooms that were colorful and cosy. I'd absolutely want to come back and stay here again. The staff were very friendly and gave lots of great information too. The breakfast was delicious too, and plenty of it :)

    Very friendly and helpful staff. Despite being located in a busy street of the Medina, when the doors of this riad opens, the noise stays out. The courtyard has some jungle vibes with beautiful plants hanging from the top floor. Breakfast is simple but fresh and good.

    Amazing riad in a very central yet quiet location of Essaouira. Very tastefully designed with plenty of local art pieces. The owner is very friendly and makes you feel at home even when you are staying there for one night only (my case). Special kudos to the traditional moroccan breakfast on the terrace!
