A friendly staff in a riad where lifestyle is based on peace and relax. The room was clean and has a little space outside the door where you can chill out. Good breakfast and nice rooftop. Hope we'll have a chance to come back. Keep going Simo!

The location, although very central, is down a small alley. Once you're inside the Riad though, it's good and very quiet.

Simo the host was so helpful and welcoming, he couldn't do more to make you welcome. The room was very clean, the bedding and towels were changed daily. The Riad is small but right in the middle of the medina.

Great location, great roof terrace, great host. NY stay was short and day was windy and little bit chilly but I still loved every second of it. I can highly recommend this charming riad.

Superb! I spent 7 wonderful nights at Riad Bab (23 Feb-2 March), the staff couldn’t have been more welcoming, courteous and professional. The Riad is located inside the Medina, minutes away from the seafront, in a surprisingly quiet street. My room was very large, with a lounge area which I used as office space (excellent WiFi by the way) The view from the rooftop terrace at dawn and dusk is simply magical. Superb location, superb staff, superb value for money.

Some minor room for improvements especially in bathroom.

Excellent care and atmosphere, thank you Simo! Breakfast at the sunny rooftop was really nice. Our room on the ground floor was cosy and functional.

Gorgeous riad in the heart of the medina. Was made to feel very welcome and beeakfast and coffee on the roof was delicious and set me up for the day. Thank you for a very relaxing stay would definitely recommend.

The rooms were a bit cool inside, but understandable due to the cooler than normal outside temperatures. A space heater was provided which allowed the bedroom to get warm and comfortable at night though. There was a short bit of a dark alley to pass through, to access the Riad. The lights appeared to be burnt out...but perhaps repaired after our stay.

Simo was a fantastic host! He was always smiling, easy to deal with, and very helpful with questions and suggestions of places to see and eat. The rooftop seating area was such a lovely place to sit and read a book. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Simo made you feel at home.

We loved everything about this hotel. The room was clean and comfortable. There were multiple common spaces where we could hang out. The roof is the gem of this hotel. We had breakfast there everyday. We enjoyed the view of the city while drinking coffee and planning our day. The breakfast was delicious.

From start to finish our stay was sensational. Simo and co, so attentive and full of knowledge. He made sure we had everything we needed to get there. Breakfast was traditional Moroccoan, crepes, bread, jams, egg, coffee, fresh juice and Moroccoan tea. Clean space, chill out zone. We stayed on ground floor, very spacious and private. Located in the center of the main street, amazing food, shopping and very honest people. What a gem of a city. We are planning to go back in Oct.

I would highly recommend this riad. Simo was extremely communicative from the start and even met us to walk us to the riad. He accommodated us with a late checkout and was always available for questions. He was kind, friendly and knowledgeable. The riad is beautiful and has a stunning rooftop view. It is well situated to explore Essaouria.

Amazing roof terrace, great host and a very extensive breakfast. Don't look any further if you want to visit Essaouira, this place is cool.

The staircase could be an issue for anyone with mobility problems, but this is an old house full of character.

Sumo is the perfect host - nothing is too much trouble and he has plenty of advice, if you need it. We had issues with transport back to the airport and Sumo sorted these out for us. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. The accommodation was spotless. Our room, on the ground floor, was cosy ( being January that was good) , the bed was very comfortable and made up for us every day. The house is decorated with many paintings and interesting artifacts. Wonderful views from the roof terrace. We would definitely stay with Sumo again.

The riad was lovely but a little smaller than we were expecting. Some older people may find the steps up to roof terrace tricky.

Our host Simo was really helpful and the breakfast on the roof terrace was amazing. A fabulous range of freshly made food.

Simo is a really cool host. He was always available to answer any kind of questions really. Breakfast was really good. There was "room service" everyday. Everything always looking tidy. Perfect location. A riad to feel at home.

Nothing, all great.

Beautiful little riad in the heart of the Medina. Only 4 rooms, one on each floor, so quiet and plenty of space for all the guests. Simo looked after us very well & cooked an amazing dinner (tagine) with freshly caught langoustines & whole fish. Rooms cleaned & tidied every day with fresh towels.

Only issue may be if you are particularly tall or big, that the bathroom in this suite is very compact.

This place was so lovely. Simo was very hospitable, tea on arrival, excellent breakfast (included in the price) which we ate on our own little private balcony which was so relaxed. The Roof terrace is good too and has a sea view. Simo very kindly collected us a couple of cheeky beers to have at sun down and he also helped us print our return boarding passes! All above and beyond I’d say. Thank you! The room was nice. Great part of town too. A little hard to find initially but really central and convenient.

Nothing noteworthy

Simon was very nice from the beginning and helpful with whatever we needed. The place is beautifully decorated and although small, very comfortable. Location is also great, walkable distance from historic places to visit

Nothing negative to say.

We were made to feel right at home, with a welcome from our bus, comfy room and excellent, generous breakfast on the roof terrace. Essaouria is a must-visit location in Morocco.

We got a private bedroom and a detached private bath with a semi private living room in between separated from the public space by a curtain. It wasn't fully comfortable for privacy reasons.

The owner was super friendly and helpful and the room was quite nice. It's located in the center of medina, so it's close to main tourist attractions. They have a terrace with nice view over the city. It was a very pleasant stay.
