We loved reading on the roof terrace too.Perfect central location, within walking distance of lots of restaurants and the Médina.
  : Very minor, it would be great to have some fruit or eggs at breakfast. Other than that we loved our stay here!

  : Very helpful and diligent staffs, Wafaa and Soukaina were super friendly and knew everything we needed in Essaouira. I can suggest this Riad to everyone in the world.Thank you so much.
  : There was just a shower gel which had an unfamiliar odor like cucumber, so I believe that the guests would be happy if there were a solid soap and a shampoo.

Very Good

  : The staff were friendly, professional and very helpful. The riad is a 500 year old building with nice ambiance and a private bathroom with each room. Located in an easy-to-reach location in the medina. Breakfast was included. It was made on the premises and served in a pleasant room on the second floor. The showers were hot and the water pressure good. Good value . I would recommend it!(I also highly recommend going for a hammam and massage right next door. The riad can book it for you. Fabulous!)
  : I found the pillows a little hard for my liking, but it would not stop me from staying here again.

  : The staff was super helpful and started engaging on whatsapp immediately after the booking. They were will prepared for our arrival. The property is located in the medina and is easy to locate using map.me. We stayed in the Touareg room and liked it. They had hot water, plenty of blankets and hair dryer. The breakfast spread was excellent. The staff showed us the best places to visit in Essaouira. The restaurant recommendation of 'Adwak' was excellent made for a worthy last meal we had in Morocco.
  : The reception closes at 7pm and any arrivals after that has a surcharge for EUR 5. Not sure for the reason of the surcharge, but I feel paying an additional 15-16% of accommodation price is a hidden fee that you know only after making the booking (which was non-refundable in our case).Also, if you like sleeping late, avoid the room that's on the same floor as breakfast (Atlas if I am not mistaken). Depending on the guests in the house (small kids during our stay) this floor is quite noisy.

  : Very comfortable bed and duvet (which is not self-evident in this price category in Morocco). Nice and easy-going owner Philippe and his wife! Good breakfast (for this price category in Morocco). Quiet and restful night.
  : I couldn't find the location because I used the adress mentioned in the booking description through Google Maps (which leads to a totally different place). This wasn't fun at all! I would expect the description to warn the visitor to use this address. Afterwards I discovered that a map with the correct place was sent by an email with title "confirmation of reservation & useful tips and Map", which I ignored - I can imagine that many visitors fall in the same trap.

  : Friendly knowledgeable staff. Great advice for perfect sunset location! In the medina which was great for easy access to great restaurants. Clean and colourful decor.
  : Top floor drain in shower was blocked. Even after taking plug out. No wall heater or fan, so it was a bit stuffy as main window didn’t open. Comfy bed though, and was warm, even though it was winter.
