    The breakfast was a bit simple though, and came at random times. The rooms were not cleaned once/ thrash taken out once.

    Very cute property at the entrance of the Medina. Great roof terrace for yoga. Lahssan was an excellent host. The best of it - he organised us nightly dinners at Chez Sayf - best restaurant ever!

    My room was excellent, although I know the rooms can vary. They all face a staircase which can get noisy if you are a late morning person as people climb it to get to breakfast. But both the concierge and the cleaning lady are extremely helpful, cordial, and effective.

    The breakfast is quite good (coffee a bit weak and omelette a bit thin) but served with such dedication by Zelmira in such a pretty setting that I would not change it for any other place.

    The location of the Riad was perfect, the bus station was located just 6 minutes away had no trouble finding the Riad upon arrival. Exploring Essaouira was very easy, shops and restaurants were close by. The room was cleaned every day and towels were changed on a daily basis. Good internet connection in the room and a nice, abundant breakfast every morning.

    We had some issues with the bath drain as water was not go away for some time after a shower. But it didn’t spoil our stay at all. Also be careful with laundry if you have some clothes that can colour other ones during the washing. It’s better not to give them for a wash.

    + Location in the heart of Medina but on a cozy quiet street. Our room was big enough with one double bed and sitting area plus another double bed on the second floor. Toiletries and towels are provided, every day cleaning. Wi-Fi is fast but didn’t work at some parts of the room. A breakfast was the best out of all the other ones we had during our travelling in Morocco! Manager is nice and friendly person, speaks English. Other staff know French.

    everything was great, the breakfast was a little plain, but it was ok. There was no hot water in the sink. But I think that's common in Morrocco,

    Our stay at the riad was great - the location, facilities and staff were excellent. Good value for money, maybe a bit pricey, but definitely worth it.

    The room I received was kinda different from the pictures. The bed was on the first floor and on the second floor there was only 2 chairs without anything. The wi-fi was very bad, what was very hard. And the terrace was closed very early in the evening.

    The property has a nice terrace.

    we had to pay cash to this guy marwan at check in, it seemed like a scam i dont know why.. we didnt enjoy the breakfast because we saw BEDBUGS crawling over our table cover. Once we said this to the staff they laughed it off. Bathroom was ugly. Wifi was not strong enough.

    The WiFi only worked about 50% of the time.

    My room was so so cute and spacious. I love the design of the place, and location is really great and centrally located. My bus arrived technically after checkout, but Valentine, the owner, surprised me with pickup at the bus station and walked me to the hotel. Really great guest experience overall!

    The acoustics in this is Riad is very very bad. There are wooden floors around the room and when people are going to their rooms it makes a lof of noise as well as the locks on the doors makes a loy of noise. I stayed for 3 weeks and the last week there was a family with two kids, which made a lot of crazy noise and where so loud all the time, like they were the only ones in the Riad - i told the manager, but he didnt seem to care at all. No seperate shower in my room, so eveything will be wet and thus for two people I will not recommend, also because the bathroom is right next to the bed. There are no windows and thus it tends to get humid in the room.

    Good location Very clean everywhere Helpful and good staff

    Loved our stay! definitely booking to come back. Very welcoming and friendly management who went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Great location, closed to everything and most of the spots and sights are nearby. It’s perfect for a walk around the city center. Really cozy and clean rooms. Breakfast is nice and plentiful. We highly recommend it.

    Really nothing much...WiFi could be better

    The Riad is very well decorated, the interior is beautiful - a very Moroccan experience for sure. The staff member Marwan was an absolute sweetheart and very attentive go all our needs. Although we had our language barriers (he didn't know English), he tried his best to communicate to the best of his ability with us. He used Google Translate a lot 😅 It is within the old Medina and perfect for us since it is within the tourist hub yet quite from the chaos.

    The room that we have reseved is not the same that they give to us. The room was very bad with only window and the smell of humidity was horrible we barely slept that night. So be careful when you arrive check the room firstly before baying.
