The location and the staff are the main reasons why I liked this Riad, the room I got was very spacious with 2 windows, breakfast was also good and fulfilling

I think it's all over Essaouira that you'd find reviews about the moldy smell, and honestly it's the only inconvenience given that the medina is humid

Breakfast could be improved a bit, for example with fresh orange juice instead of industrial juice

Good breakfast, abundant variety of products.

Good breakfast, abundant variety of products.

The bathroom needs improvement renovations, the shower needs better cleaning and the shower screen doors need adjustment, ultimately more maintenance.
