    great wi-fi

    This place suits me perfectly with friendly staff, great wi-fi, and a cozy bar area. I fondly remember how they helped with my heavy bags during my first visit. I highly recommend trying their massages. I’m coming back for a city break.

    Our room was spacious and comfy, but breakfast was a bit dull, same options every day. The lovely indoor patio dining made up for it, though!

    great location
    spacious room
    monotonous breakfast
    neglected terrace

    Here’s what worked – and what didn’t

    The location was fantastic, with eateries and market stalls at our doorstep. The duplex was spacious and beautifully decorated. The staff surprised us with an anniversary note!

    The breakfast lacked variety, serving the same options daily, which grew monotonous over time. The rooftop terrace needed better maintenance to truly enjoy the view.

    discover vibrant streets and charming cafes in essaouira

    After a delightful day exploring the vibrant medina and enjoying a wonderful dinner at the cozy restaurant within the riad, I felt completely at home as I sipped a great glass of local wine and savored the best bruschetta I've ever had. the easy access to popular attractions like the Essaouira Ramparts and the charming Galerie D'art Damgaard made my weekend strolls so enjoyable.

    The beautifully potted courtyard left a lasting impression. Early morning breakfasts featured fresh fruit and traditional bread, creating a delightful start to each day.

    rooftop terrace
    weak shower pressure

    The rooftop terrace was an idyllic spot for relaxation, offering breathtaking views of the city while soaking up the sun.

    Unfortunately, the shower in my room had weak water pressure during my stay.

    beautiful courtyard
    fantastic food
    comfortable bed
    poor service

    This Riad is a charming find in the medina. The courtyard provides a beautiful and tranquil escape. My room had a lovely decoration and a comfy bed, perfect for restful nights. I particularly enjoyed relaxing on the rooftop terrace, soaking up the sun while admiring the views over Essaouira. Dining at the restaurant was a highlight. the octopus tagine was exquisite. the bathroom in my room lacked a door, creating some awkward moments with my partner. The service could be slow at times, and the requests, like asking for a hair dryer often went unnoticed. Some furniture on the rooftop was broken, which took away from the otherwise lovely ambiance.

    peaceful courtyard
    spacious room
    shower pressure

    The kids loved the courtyard, where we enjoyed relaxing evenings. The place really felt like an oasis amid the bustling medina, and the room was spacious enough for our family of four. We even glimpsed some stunning premium rooms during our stay.

    My kids wished for better shower pressure.

    Wandering Essaouira 🌊

    Man, the courtyard vibes are unbeatable! Loved chilling there after exploring the medina, and the staff were just super friendly and helpful, felt like home. The brekkie spread was lekker too, fresh fruit and all that jazz!

    Just a bit noisy at night with doors slamming and that, but nothing major.

    beautifully decorated suite
    lack of bathroom privacy

    The location was perfect, being very close to the Supratours bus station and near various eateries and market stalls. My suite with a terrace was beautifully decorated and offered a comfortable space for relaxation after a busy day exploring the medina. The courtyard was a delightful place for evening unwinding.

    The bathroom in my room lacked a door, which was a bit awkward for privacy.
