    Parking is not available by the location, but 10min walk on a public place. It was ok, but was misleading.

    We were told we could have some coffee on our final morning as we were leaving the just before 8am, the lovely lady who was normally in the reception area said we could have coffee and cake at 7am but on our return to the Riad on our last evening we were met by Aissah and a French woman who were waiting for us, they told us there would be no coffee and nothing to eat as it was a public holiday in the morning, nobody would be at the property and breakfast is only 8-10 am but we could buy some at the airport, we were to let ourselves out and put the keys in reception. When we thought about this later we felt very let down, no hot drink, nothing provided and the worst part was no member of staff on site for us leaving, what if we had a problem? What if it was a single traveller and they fell down the stairs? What if we left something in the property? There was no way to get back inside. This was a very bad decision, the fact it was a public holiday the day we were leaving should not impact on the guests. It is also a shame that the little finishing touches no longer exist, instead of coming back to lots of small candles lit in the reception room there is now just two lamps which doesn’t have the same ambience and no fresh flowers in our room when we arrived. These small things gave it such a special feel the first time we stayed.

    We have stayed previously at the property. We liked the traditional style of the Riad. The cleanliness was exceptional and the staff apart from the day we were checking out were great, nothing was too much trouble and you only had to ask once for anything.

    The breakfast was very heavy on wheat products. I'm not allergic but intolerant so would have liked an option. We got the same, choc aux pain/pancake/bread every day with the odd addition of yoghurt or fruit, sometimes both. The bathrooms have no air vent so the room gets very damp and there is an odour. You have to leave your windows open during the day to air out and getting swimming costumes and beach towels dry is tricky. The staff kindly put mine on the airer on the roof, when they'd discovered it wet in our room. So you can use the facilities to do that.

    The view from the terrace of the sea every morning was a delight. The sunbeds on the terrace are comfortable and the hats were a good idea. The staff were friendly, kind and diligent. Our room was cleaned with fresh linen and towels every day. The location was perfect for the Medina and the beach.

    It was cold at night but there was a blanket in the wardrobe. Breakfast felt like a sugar overdose but each to their own.

    Excellent calm location in the medina. Lovely decor and terrace. Friendly helpful staff. Special thanks to Sadia who arranged my tours and helped me charge my phone when my charger broke.

    Nothing really.. Shower needed water retaining strip on floor to stop water going into wash area.. Single bed/couch was a bit hard! But these are just minor issues.

    We loved the place.. Ideal for investigating the area.. Period building and interior... The staff members happy and helpful. Lovely breakfast. Quiet location in medina.

    I expected more tips and tricks about the city. It was also quite a hassle to get an airport transfer. Non the less, a good place to stay!

    Lovely riad with a good location. Small riad with only 6 rooms. Great place to discover Essaouira.

    There was a slight damp/musty smell in the bathroom but totally understandable as it has no ventilation and appears to be an internal room. This could be easily helped with some incense or reed diffuser. It didn’t overly affect our stay however.

    This Riad is a hidden gem! It’s in a great location for wandering around Essaouira. The room was very clean and the bed super comfy. Great water pressure in the shower too! The staff were absolutely lovely and the breakfast was always fresh and delicious, everyday there was something different to go with the basic breads and jams etc. fresh juice and good coffee.

    Bed was hard and it was noisy in the mornings. It states private balcony for the rooms and there weren't any. My sons were in a separate room, one floor below, it would have been better to be closer.
