This small riad was in the medina close to main souks, the decor was simple but represented maroccan handicrafts throughout. Nice comfortable room, nice continental style breakfast, friendly and accommodating staff.

A well appointed Riad in Essaouira
The Riad is well appointed with rooms that are of a good size and it is in a quiet part of Essaouira's Medina. Its French owner was very helpful.

Nice and friendly hotel
Although the front desk clerk couldn't really speak any English, but he was very friendly! Tried his best to understand my questions! The room was very comfortable and clean! Breakfast was good on the terrace! There were noises from the street at night, but if you choose to stay inside the Medina, I guess that's come with the package! Highly recommend!

Service poor
We booked a triple room, but upon arrival was told there were none available, although we were given two separate rooms to accommodate the 3 of us. The single bed I slept on was terrible as was the pillow. We asked for laundry service, which we were told our clothing would be back in 24 hours. The following day when we advised we needed to leave early, our dirty laundry was returned unwashed. Very disappointing.

Great location in Medina
Riad is lokated in Medina of Essauira, good location with real local flavor, a bit used and tiny rooms but fair for the price. Breakfast typical French continental, but fresh and good tasting.

Het was in de oude medina en derhalve vlakbij de winkelstraatjes ,cafe's en restaurants.De medina is niet toegankelijk voor auto's en onze auto moesten wij dan ook buiten de muren parkeren.Daar heeft ie zonder problemen dan ook gestaan.Wij deden alles te voet.Wij hebben het naar onze zin gehad.

Günstiges Riad in guter Lage
Preis-Leistung war sehr gut. Wir wollten uns zwei Tage Essaouiraansehen und für diesen Zweck war es ausreichend. Guter Ausblick von der Dachterass3. Alles etwas heruntergekommen, aber trotzdem sauber und sehr höfliche Angestellte. Alles in Allem eine Zweckunterkunft.

Personnel sympathique et à notre service merci à Abdeltif qui est une personne très serviable est agréable. En ce qui concerne le riad il est mal situé dans des ruelles pas très propre ni calme. La chambre qu'on à eu était très étroite pas de rangement et la douche sans porte pas pratique pour prendre une douche mais d'autres chambres avait l'air plus jolie et spacieuse. Sinon Essaouira est une ville superbe avec beaucoup d'activité à faire
