Im not sure if they changed the sheets, but they looked clean.

My room was clean and had good air-circulation, which is not common in this city. The staff were nice and helpful as well.

The sheets on the bed were basically just blankets and it was a little icky to use them... also the facilities could use a renovation, the shower was not dirty as in "not cleaned" but dirty as in "old" dirty... also I'm a light sleeper and couldn't sleep much because of noises coming from above I guess, you could hear walking, talking, everything up until 3am

The location itself was supreme, although from the parking lot we had to walk for about 10 minutes, because the riad is in the historical centre and there is nowhere to park

Was everything okay?

The room was extremely moldy and stuffy. There is no ventilation and I had to burn aroma oil to mask the smell. The single beds in the family suite was also too hard and old.

Location was great and the room was spacious

The room was excessively humid, which made it uncomfortable for us. The dampness was palpable, and we could even feel it on our clothes. The bathroom emitted an unpleasant odor, likely due to poor ventilation. It felt like there was no way for the air to circulate properly. Additionally, the room relied solely on artificial lighting, which created a basement-like atmosphere. This lack of natural light was quite disappointing. Furthermore, it was impossible to find peace and relaxation during the day due to the loud conversations echoing through the hallways. Weak WiFi

We were given a beautiful room with two separate bedrooms and a private bathroom. The location of the riad in the heart of the medina can be seen as both an advantage and a disadvantage.

Bed, wardrobe, shower are a bit old and need some renovation, but I think that's acceptable considering the price you pay. The room was generally clean, but it should be put a bit more attention ( I found hair in the shower and in the bed). WiFi can be weak sometimes.

Great location. The riad is really pretty with cute decorations. It is well structured, the rooms have thick walls. Staff is very welcoming and helpful. Price is great.

- take your own towels - common bathroom doesn’t look good - old linen The place has potential but needs some details to care of.

- localization - pets are allowed so we could take our cat with us - price- riad is very cheap

Wonderful location and beautiful Riad. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Staff was very helpful and room good enough. Room i first booked (big room at ground level with private bathroom) was a damp and not really that private because of window to common area. However for the next night i got another room upstairs that was better value and shared bathroom was good and never occupied. Staff also helped me to get another accomodation when somebody else booked that room.

The shower. It was explained, that this condition was not dirt, rather than the acid of the water, or similar, but it is not okay, nevertheless. The room was part of the reception hall and as we arrived we asked if we could use the restroom and we were showed to the bathroom of the room that was eventually also given to us. That took us by surprise. As part of the reception on the ground floor, this room was overlooking at the reception hall and it was of course very dark.

The location was great, as we arrived by car and there is a good parking spot right outside the walls of this side of the Medina. Our room was part of the reception hall, it was nicely decorated and the bed was comfortable.

Toilet wasn't too nice, I think they need to sort out the toilets to be 10/10. Put some paint or from time to time improve it a bit. The water pressure was taking too long to get warm water going unfortunately.

Location is good to go from and explore city. Very big room that we had. Comfortable big bed, plenty of pillows.

Staff is very friendly , served us tea when we arrived. It's situated at a good place in Medina. Thoroughly clean and easy check in process ☺️. We could keep our luggage for few hours after checkout. Rooms are spacious and good value for money.

WIFI was a bit unstable. Room seamed clean but there was some dirt on carpets. Rooms at the first floor have no ventilation, lack of fresh air.

Very helpful staff. Good location, very quiet. Well equipped kitchen with the fridge. Spacios room with additional small sofa and the table.

The smaller bedroom smelled musty so I had to sleep with the window open and the wall between the kitchen and the main bedroom was very thin and all the noise came right through, but noise is part of staying in a riad and thankfully it didn't impact our experience as the other guests were quiet.

the riad is well located in a quiet part of the Medina but still close to restaurants and shops. The suite was spacious and comfortable and having the use of the kitchen and terrace was a big bonus. The host was friendly and gave me good directions to the most visited attractions. She also let us store our bags after checkout so we could continue exploring.

mind some rooms don’t have windows and ventilation is not superb but some people seem not to mind. I am asthmatic so it made huge difference to be in the room with the window which I am very grateful for

- very quiet in the night, had best sleep in Marroco - nice people running the place, you felt really safe and understood - nice people staying at Riad -it seemed this place attracts only nice quiet people!:) - I was lucky to have room with window which I left open for 5 days - otherwise it would be humid as Essaouria is a humid town - kitchen was great

Creepy inside, cant sleep properly because the owner is living next door and you can hear all his movements. Maybe higher levels are more quiet. Strange smell.

Great location.

The floor was gritty and dirty. The shower was very slow to drain

This lovely riad in the Medina is well located being only 5 minutes walk to the centre. The friendly owner speaks English. The bed and pillow are comfortable. WiFi connection is good.
