Poor directions to the property. Once you arrive, you realize it is on a narrow street near a main pedestrian artery...a simple walk from where the airport taxis drop you off. But as our cell phone roaming was not working, it took us ages to find it.

Abundant, homemade breakfasts. Size of our room (we booked the 3-bed option). Sunning terraces. Friendliness of staff. Having a small refrigerator to store beverages. The hot water in the shower. Wonderful choice for Essaouira!!!

We were greeted by the manager, Ayoub, who served us freshly made mint tea and a plate of delicious local pastries on our arrival, and was very helpful whenever we needed assistance or questions answered. Each morning, we were served a lovely breakfast in the rooftop breakfast room by Fatima. We would definitely stay at Riad Arambys again.

CASH ONLY payment for the entire stay - very expensive to get cash out as a tourist, if your stay costs >2000dh, you’ll have to withdraw multiple times, costing potentially €15 in ATM fees - get a card machine please!

Beautiful rooms, good location, lovely breakfast lady and good food!

Great place! Highly recommend. Wonderful staff and perfect location.

The only downside to life in a Riad is the lack of sound proofing. Our room boarded the narrow alleyway and one night in particular was very noisy but that’s not the fault of the Riad. Thankfully I had earplugs. Only a bit of a problem as we’d specifically come to relax.

Breakfast was amazing. Omelette cooked to order, warm fresh bread, fresh fruit and avocado. The family who own and run the Riad were wonderful. So helpful and accommodating.

No complaints!

They couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. Perfect medina to enjoy Essaouira from, breakfast was great and room was lovely. Really made you feel at home.

An oasis of calm. Superlative service and hospitality during our entire stay from the staff. The rooms were in keeping with the riad with lovely artwork adorning the walls. The breakfasts were homely with super coffee, jams and bread. The terrace is a great sunspot with great views of the city. One of our party had an unfortunate accident in the city and Ayoub was amazing in looking after her.

We do not speak French and the owners English was only a little better than our French and there were miscommunications. An example, the owner reserved a taxi for us to catch the train in Marrakech. The porter brought our baggages to the parking lot outside the Medina but no taxi and the porter did not know what to do. I had to ran back to the riad trying to clarify the situation. It was eventually resolved but caused some delay and anxieties!

A beautiful place with nice courtyard and beautiful rooftop porch for breakfast. The owner are very friendly and helpful. The lady cooked breakfast egg and pancake for us and they were delicious. They also provided a lot of nice and fresh fruits which we did not get in other Morocco places we stayed.

They really need to invest in air conditioning. The room was warm, stuffy, and musty.

Very friendly staff, clean, quiet, well-appointed room, handy location, good value. The best breakfasts we had in Morocco!

The beautiful style of the Riad .

Vibes are immaculate. Serene interior without any of the sounds of the Medina. Hosts are very attentive and flexible. We had a late departure and were able to keep our bags in the room until our bus. Incredible value for money.

Excellent Riad close to the centre of the Medina. Staff were very welcoming, friendly and extremely helpful. Room was large, comfortable and immaculately clean. Very good Moroccan breakfast served on the rooftop. Would definitely stay here again if returning to Essaouira.

Very little to dislike except the acrid smokey smell at times think this came from kitchen downstairs.

Good location right in the medina, close to souks restaurants and the beach. Breakfast cooked to order every morning choice of pancakes, omelette boiled eggs with freshly squeezed juice, coffee, yoghurt and fruits. Very comfortable and homely riad with a spacious room large bed for two, good shower always hot water. No aircon needed as can kept large window open at night. Slept very well. Room cleaned daily. Fresh towels regularly. Beach towels provided. Free laundry service as stayed a week. Nice terrace can chill on sunloungers. Also being a cat lover, loved the three or maybe four riad cats especially the ‘wobbly cat’ she was gorgeous!

The bathroom was a little small but had a fantastic shower with plenty of hot water

This is a beautiful property, spotlessly clean and with lovely staff. Our room was very comfortable and spacious. The terrace is a gorgeous space with comfortable seating. We spent a relaxing week here and enjoyed a magical recharge. The staff are friendly and so helpful. I recommend Riad Arambys highly

Stayed in July 2023

We found the beds a bit too hard, and, strangely, the same for the seats in the room. Otherwise fine.

Charming welcome from the lovely lady who runs the place. The breakfaast was truly good. Amazing decor in a fine setting. Great location.
