Hotels.com advertised the rooms as having heating but this was not true. No heating whatsoever so we had to request extra blankets as we were unlucky with a cold time in early March.

Windows are not air tight and cold air was seeping in. Lighting in room is very dim at night time but natural daytime lighting is good.

There was a lot of dead bugs near the ceiling.

Breakfast was very good and included many options. Fruit for breakfast besides juice would be nice improvement.

I was pregnant so the stairs were a bit tough for me but I went on them slowly, it is quite a lot of stairs if you have mobility issues.

I liked that they provided free bottled water each day.

The rooftop is beautiful and watching sunsets there were amazing!!!

Hotel might be good for summer stays but do not recommend for winter / spring time visits.

The staff (especially the kitchen staff) were amazing. Never seen such service and politeness anywhere else and i been all around the world. Very relaxing and peaceful atmosphere. Rooftop dining with the ocean all around is an experience in itself.

The only negatives are only 1 channel on tv.

Perfect for me as I wanted to relax, enjoy the art, fort & walk the waterfront and beach. I’m fit- so walking the 6 flights of stairs to beautiful rooftop breakfast/bar and chase lounge views was perfect Those with knee/stair issues won’t be so pleased but there is also beautiful bar, restaurant pool table on main floor.

Wonderful Stay

This is a beautiful, well-maintained Riad. The service was excellent and the staff was very friendly and accomodating. We've stayed in a mini-suite and it was very comfortable. The Riad is in a perfect location close everything. We've especially enjoyed our breakfast every morning on the terrace with the view of the ocean. Highly recommend!

The property location just inside the city walls near the beach and port is perfect- with views from the rooftop terrace. The staff were excellent, helpful and friendly from reception through to the restaurant and terrace. We lived eating breakfast on the rooftop terrace and the cosy atmosphere of the restaurant. Altogether a relaxing stay in relaxed Essaouira.

Très chouette Riad, très propre et chambre spacieuse.
Juste un petit bemol, ce serait bien qu'il y ait un petit ascenseur pour les personnes d'un certain âge ou les personnes avec un problème de genoux etc.. Le Riad plait beaucoup aux personnes agés aussi et beaucoup de clients se déplacent avec leurs parents etc.. C'est dommage de ne pas en avoir un puisqu'en général les personnes âgées ont les moyens de venir dans un Riad de ce type.
En tout cas moi j'ai été ravi sauf que j'ai dû laisser ma belle mère dans un autre lieu.
