Perfect location , the Riad was in a perfect spot at the Kasbah. The staff was very nice and friendly, Amine recommended some places and helped us also book a ride to get to the airport. We liked the room , it was clean , bright and it had a comfortable bed. We would definitely come back

Only small things like a little extra cleaning around the sink and attention to a cowhide rug that could cause tripping. The tap water does smell a little which can't be helped.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent. The room was spacious, comfortable, bright and inviting. The terrace had nice views and ambience to enjoy breakfast with other guests.

It felt like staying at a friend’s house, rather than a hotel. Bed was comfortable, breakfast was excellent, beautiful rooftop! It was so cool, to stay at a 200 year old house and even the 67 steps into the top floor room were fun to walk! Location is also excellent although a tiny bit hard to find, because the entrance is a bit “underground”, but that ultimately added to the charme.

Excellent location in the Medina, appartements and rooms have a cozy feeling and wonderful furnishing. Having a full floor of the riad feels home and exotic at the same time. The view from the rooftop terrace is amazing and a lolvely breakfast served while looking at the see is a great start of a day. The hosts are welcoming, kind and helpful. We had a more than lovely stay there and we recommend it with our eyes closed.

The shower/bathroom wasn't great as you couldn't stand up fully and it was a bit damp/mouldy.

The location was amazing and the private terrace was great. The breakfast was so tasty too!

Excellent location. Very nice and cozy room with private rooftop terrass.. It is quite an excersise to get up there. Wonderful view. Amine was very friendly and helpful

The day bed in one of the bedroom is missing slats which makes it feel as though it’s about to break. Also the smell of the sewers outside the front door is overwhelming.

I loved how central it was to the medina with great food places nearby. The apartment we stayed in had two bedrooms with a huge bathroom and bath tub. The rooms were tastefully decorated and made it feel so rustic. The view from the terrace is spectacular even if you do have to climb a huge number of steep steps to get there. Breakfast on the first day was great, the next day it was toasted croissants and pain au choclat and on the day of our departure we asked for an early breakfast which was tea and bread rolls.

I suggest that guests consider ear plugs to cope with the early morning calls of the sea gulls in the area.

We loved the location and our family suite. The furnishings were gorgeous and the rooms all supplied with heaters for the cold nights. The rooftop terrace was stunning.

Beautiful riad with great location in the medina. We got a full floor for our family, so nicely decorated. Gorgeous views from the roof terrace. We got the breakfast served here and the day couldn’t start better. Very nice and service minded staff. Thanks a lot!

Close to a local club with loud music. The windows were well isolated though so not such a problem.

Beautiful room with an incredible terrace with a view of the Essaouira shoreline. Amine was very welcoming and arranging!

I think the property would not be suitable for people with mobility limitations as there are a lot of narrow and somewhat uneven stairs to climb (but which also add to the charm). It was a bit noisy, a nearby disco(?) was playing music until very late, then the muezzin in the nearby mosque at 5 am and then the seagulls... The courtyard is open to the elements (also adding to the charm).

Armine came to meet us in the car park to guide us to the house. Very friendly and helpful. We had a whole floor for ourselves, one huge room with a fireplace armchairs and old furniture. Lovely. The other room was fine and both these and the kitchen and bathroom opened out onto the balcony looking down into the courtyard. Breakfast on the terrace was great, with views out to the castle, port and beach. The location is excellent and Essaouira is lovely.

The drains are a bit smelly and old but if you close the bathroom door is was totally fine. The prayer is very load in the morning at 5:40.

Great location! We had such a cute room on the very top and the breakfast on the top floor every morning was so nice! Amine and Fatima were so lovely and very welcoming! You really get the value for your money and I would love to come back!

The only reason why this accommodation doesn’t get a perfect 10 is the call to prayer at 5:30am, which is very clearly and disturbingly heard in the morning.

Amin was very friendly, responsive and helpful. For example he personally took us to local hamam. Thank you once again. The apartment is stylishly appointed. Great filter coffee for breakfast, we suggest branching into healthy options (like porridge, muesli…) and less wheat and bread.

It was hard to enjoy the private rooftop as it was so incredibly windy up there but that wasn't the property's fault. Shower room was very small for a tall person. It had a guesthouse feel to it as opposed to a riad/hotel.

Location was super. Staff were very nice. The studio was lovely and we didn't mind the climb up the stairs. Breakfast was delicious 😋

The decoration - beautiful furniture and pictures. Great views from the roof terrace Everyone really helpful Brilliant position

There's a mosque right next to the riad - thus expect to be woken up by the call for prayer around 4.45am. Good workout as there are lots of stairs to get to the top!

Location location location. Near the souks, walking distance to the sqala. Room was cosy and decorated with nice quirky touches. Awesome private balcony with lounging chair with views on the port. The concierge kept our suitcases after checkout which was really appreciated.

Nothing - we lived it all but for others - the shower room is a little awkward with a very low ceiling halfway up a staircase.

Located right in the centre of Essaouira with absolutely stunning views from the roof terraces. Very comfortable room with everything you need, we stayed at the top in the Josephine room - 65 steps up a winding staircase - and a private roof terrace accessed up a spiral staircase within the room. Tremendous views and the staff are lovely, kind and helpful.
