I realize we are foreigners in their country, but all the other riads and restaurants could speak some English. There were several at the front desk that we had a lot of trouble communicating with. Realizing also, we don't speak their language either! Just found that English was being used elsewhere to an acceptable level.

Absolutely gorgeous and very affordable. Schedule massages (also very affordable) that were much better than what we usually get in the US. Rooms were very large and beautiful.

The hamman is busy, it's a bit of a conveyor belt.

Amazing decor of an ancient palace through out the Riad. Great location in the medina. Very friendly and helpful staff. Large rooms and huge beds.

Rooftop terrace needed a bit of a spruce up since my last visit.

Loved the suite..

WiFi didn’t work in the rooms for most of our stay. And the hotel only takes cash- not cards so this was inconvenient.

Great location and service. Breakfast was very nice and rooms were comfortable and large..

Breakfast was very limited and the server always harried us up to finish before 10.30 to leave the table because he needs to clean the dinning room . Surprisingly he didn’t harried up the Moroccan guest . Only the foreigners. Very disappointed.

The Riad is Absolutely Beautiful . It is a piece of Art . Each room is more beautiful than the other and the restaurant is like to be in a west Andersen movie . It is the most beautiful restaurant we have ever been . The location of the Riad is more than perfect .

My room didn’t have a window to the outside but there is A/C so it’s no problem

I had the most magical time in this hotel! I felt like staying in a palace. The rooms are even more beautiful than on the pictures! Every staff member I interacted with was so friendly and welcoming. The breakfast on the roof terrace is really nice. Perfect location close to the beach and medina. Spa was great too. This was one of the most beautiful hotels I stayed at. Thank you!

It was noisey as work (banging) next door. The breakfast was exactly the same every day and no provision for gluten free in a whole week. Egg and small fruit salad only. I could not even get a yogurt

Location, décor and traditional style

Such an exquisite Riad . It is a must visit if you are in Essaouria. The rooms are massive separate bathroom and toilet . Totally felt otherworldly. The rooms were warm as damp can sometimes be a problem in the medina . Staff were superb so helpful . I cannot say enough great things about our stay here . It is absolute luxury

Unfortunately they have no iron 😔

I’ve had a fantastic stay and felt like a princess living in a real palace. The location is ideal, just next to the port and medina. The room itself is massive and kept warm (even in December). The bed is huge and comfortable with clean bedding. Breakfast is nice, it is served in a restaurant or at the terrace (the choice is yours). The hammam and massage experience is very high standard! Staff members are friendly and helpful. Plenty photo opportunities at this riad. I couldn’t praise this place enough!

A plunge pool is always a bonus! Sadly, there is only a spa at an extra cost. More choice is needed for breakfast, which is largely bread in different shapes and forms.

This riad is a real treasure! A mini palace will beautiful architectural features, tiles, carvings, and stone / wood. It was cool and soundproofed. The lavish style is a lovely contrast to the hustle and bustle of the medina, which is a bit dusty and grubby but fascinating. So, coming back to this riad felt like a sanctuary. The location is great, near the bus stop, at the beginning of the medina and near great restaurants and nightlife! The staff are really helpful and warm hearted this is what makes the stay extra special.
