Guest reviews

The best thing is the staff, SUPER FRIENDLY. The hotel is very nice and located at the end of a main street, so there is no noise at all. The breakfast is amazing and served on the terrace. On the last day, as we had to leave early, they came 40 minutes before the scheduled time to give us a full breakfast. There is always someone on duty 24/7. In short, excellent.

Like most Riads, if you have mobility issues, go to a hotel with an elevator.

A really very nice Riad, with a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere. Everything is in white tones, perfectly in line with Essaouira and the city's atmosphere. The rooms are very beautiful, spacious, and well-maintained, with a very comfortable bed that makes the stay even more enjoyable. The part I enjoyed the most is definitely the terrace: it is beautiful and overlooks the ocean. It is right here that breakfast is served, and the atmosphere is truly fantastic and super relaxing. At the highest part of the terrace, there are also sunbeds, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the ocean view. The location is also very convenient for getting around and visiting the city. A truly pleasant stay, especially considering the excellent value for money. Absolutely recommended!

The cleanliness and the staff

The cleanliness and the staff

The entrance located between dirt and sandbags, no air conditioning and fridge in the room, yellow stains on the sheets, cash payment only, sea view only from the rooftop not from the rooms, hand-held shower in the tub (room on the third and top floor) impractical for a normal shower, it falls and you have to hold it in your hand, air conditioning/dehumidifier: NECESSARY with Essaouira's 85% humidity, there is no SPA inside the property.

Welcome, cleanliness, top breakfast 👍 Solarium with sea view. I had an excellent stay!
