Guest reviews
Exceptional
Perfect stay in the middle of the medina and close to sea
Liked: What a great stay, we are so happy we chose this riad! The family suite with 2 bathrooms was perfect for our family of 4. Eveyrone had their own space, but still we stayed together in one unit. The riad is located in the middle of the medina, close to sea and within easy walking distance from the public parking "Bab Marrakech" where we parked. Breakfast on the roof top was awesome, with your own choice of egg (boiled, scrambled, fried or omelette). The riad has a code lock on the front door, which is handy when part of the family do not arrive home at the same time. They offer a can of filtered water every day, which shows great environmental awareness and was well appreciated. When staying here, do not miss out to have a coffee on "Café L'Esprit, it is just a few metres away. Thanks for a perfect stay!
Disliked: Nothing. We loved our stay. And loved Essaouira.
Very calm and relaxed riad on a nice location!
Liked: Very nice and calm riad. Well located and very friendly service at check-in and during breakfast. The room was nice, had a lot of daylight and a spacious bathroom. Loved the breakfast in the roof top and the food was amazing. Staff supported with some local recommendations and gave us the option to leave our luggage on the last day. Worth the money!
Exceptional location. Spotlessly clean. Very wrlcoming, next stay already bookec
Liked: This is a real find! Spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The breakfast on the terrace is wonderful with great views of the city. Idris on reception takes great care to welcome and look after you.
Disliked: The property next door was being renovated, so sadly most days spoilt by constant hammering from 9am to 6pm. Obviously not a problem when out, but impossible to rest after an early flight. Standard rooms don’t have a window to the outside, and that is usual for riads. Book a comfort room if an outside window is essential for you.
Nice stay in the heart of the Medina
Liked: Very well located in the heart of the medina, but away from the noise and crowd. Everything is walking distance from the riad. Staff is very friendly and gave us a lot of good advices. Breakfast was served on the rooftop and was good, always freshly prepared.
Disliked: Nothing!
Lovely time!
Liked: We really enjoyed our stay, the location was perfect - right by the souks but peaceful. The breakfast was just right, a good balance of eggs, bread, chia puddings etc. the views from the terrace were lovely and we had a man with a cart take us to the riad. The staff were extremely welcome which made us feel safe and comfortable. Liked it all!
Liked: Location was great, we loved the breakfast on the rooftop! Room was really nice, and the bed.. oh the bed.. super comfortable!
