Excellent location, clean, friendly staff, nice rooms. Breakfast is included. We got it for an extremely low price, which made it a superbe deal. Located directly in a small alley off one of the main streets in the Medina. The alley looked dark but don’t get fooled, the Riad is lovely. There is a roof terras with good to catch some sun. No view though. Within the Medina you go by door and there are steep stairs so not great if you travel with a bulky suitcase. Better with a backpack only. Only the shower was not warm consistently in our room on second floor. Otherwise highly recommend for the prize.

Good location
We arrived early so our room wasn't ready. We did check in a drop the bags. When we went to collect the bags there was a whole family at the reception ( the owners i guess) and the french man wouldn't even get up from the couch the get the bags as he was lying down watching tv. After making some gestures he did. We were never informed about breakfast so we paid for breakfast outside the premises ( my bad for not checking my booking but I would have expected to be informed about at the check in). We were on the first floor and at night it got so loud as people was chatting in the reception until about 11 and some others coming and going. The lack of a water fountain makes the riad quite noisy. But overall is a good place to stay, clean and cute room and very well located.

Good central place in medinah. Room slightly small with lack of storage space. Smell of damp from the bathroom, which could use some maintenance. Good breakfast.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Convenient and a nice receptionist/host. Cheapish. However, room was dilapidated, small and smelt a bit damp. Don't pay for a superior room, they all seem basic and small, with the possible exception of the 6 bed room which I didn't see. Not a room to sit in and enjoy: bed, table, no space or view. Functional at best. Floor was clean but fixtures (shelf, taps, toilet seat) all run down, scratched and stained. Breakfast VERY basic. Quick, cheap sleep maybe, but it's not a place to enjoy in itself.

Please visit Essaouira and this riad!
Very nice place to stay, good location and the hosts (french couple) extremely friendly and helpful. On our last day we needed to catch an early bus, and would have missed breakfast but the owner was nice enough to have breakfast served earlier for us. That was much appreciated before our long journey on the bus.

It was a very simple riad. The beds were clean and the staff was nice and helpful. Shower was a tad on the small side and wasn’t really powerful and the first day we had no hot water. It was fine for our stay though. The beds were clean and fairly comfortable. The room seemed a bit dusty but it was otherwise clean

Simple room in good location at a good price
Well located, bang in the centre of Essaouira medina, but quiet, in a side street. Fairly simple and a bit dark room, but if you plan to spend most of your time outside, it provides all necessary at a good price.

Nice Riad, don't pay anyone who shows you the way
Hi This is a very nice riad, within easy reach from Guleiz and the square. We were happy with our stay and the price was very good. I was happy that I was able to leave our bags in the riad for several hours and I was also able to charge my power bank. The only thing we didn't like, was that like so many riads in Marrakech, it was a little hard to find, a Morrocan asked us the name of our Riad, took us there and demanded $20, just for walking with us for 10 minutes or so, something we would do, without expecting payment. Just be a little careful and do not give in to these demands.

Good budget choice in Essaoiura
Lovely Riad. Very good location in the medina. Very comfortable and well appointed room. Good wifi. Friendly and helpful staff. Only minor gripe - the listing implies the rooms are made up daily, but they weren't during my three day stay. But I enjoyed my stay and I'd happily stay here again.

Good value, comfy bedding.. great laundry service
Comfy and clean... very central good location but not too noisy... very impressed to be able to pay €5 to get a load of washing done very needed after 3weeks of hand washing with a 2year old... found the bedding to be extra soft and cosy real duvets ... no fuzzy fleece blanket like you find in a lot of Moroccan guest houses... staff were approachable and friendly
