Riad Emotion
This Road is a gem. Absolutely beautiful and tastefully decorated. The staff and owner are delightful and extremely helpful. The Riad has steps to all the rooms as is typical and a terrace where breakfast is served. The breakfast is delicious with fresh bread, eggs, pastries and homemade preserves.

4/10 Fair

Did not live up to other riads in my experience. One consideration is they use an extremely strong cleaning product that made my stomach turn. I've never had issues with chemical cleaners before. Internet is at times unusable. Location is as good as any if you like to be central and near most everything. Breakfast is very solid for a hotel, but again falls behind other riads.

Very beautiful and centrally located Riad - Philip the host was friendly and helpful, provided us with great restaurant recommendations and offered to help contact businesses to make appointments for Hammam's and make dinner reservations. Our bus to Casablanca was scheduled for the afternoon, after check out time and they were gracious enough to let us keep our bags at the Riad while we explored before our bus. Delicious breakfast, beautiful rooms - an all around wonderful experience.

Fantástica opción de alojamiento en Essaouira! Frederic, el dueño del Riad es súper atento y pendiente de los huéspedes, ofreciendo recomendaciones. El desayuno es riquísimo y variado y se toma en la terraza del Riad. Ubicación muy céntrica en la Medina. Totalmente recomendable.

Ein sehr herzlichen Empfang durch Philipp. Er hat uns super gute Restaurants empfohlen. Dieses Riad ist sehr geschmacksvoll eingerichtet mit vielen kleinen Details. Das Frühstück war liebevoll serviert worden mit top Produkte. Wichtig man kann nicht vor das Riad fahren. Vor den Stadtmauern kann man jedoch ein Gepäckträger für 20 DH nehmen, der auch weiss wo das Riad ist und ihm dann folgen.

Fuimos a varias Riad en Marruecos todos muy buenas , pero esta fue la mejor de todas atendida por sus propietarios los cuales son muy cordiales y siempre están atentos para ayudar al turista con sus planes de viaje y explicando los sitios turísticos de la ciudad, son una pareja de franceses muy cordiales, las habitaciones son muy cómodas, aseadas y confortables, la ubicación es la mejor, el desayuno es muy completo. No duden en escoger esta Riad en sus viajes a essouira, la pasarán muy bien

Pleasant surprise
We arrived with no expectations, and with no knowledge of the town. We were pleasantly surprised by both. The town is a gem, windy and welcoming, and offers delicious seafood. The Riad Emotion was splendid, hosts Phillipe and his wife were super-generous, and the staff served exquisite breakfasts on the the rooftop terrace. The interior is tasteful, and our room was perfect.

8/10 Very good

Wunderschönes und geschmackvoll eingerichtetes Haus, sehr höfliches und freundliches Personal, tolles Frühstück, tolle Küchlein und sehr viel Liebe fürs Details. Gute Lage mitten in der Medina, perfekt. Leider ist das Haus durch ein nachträgliches aufgesetztes Glasdach über dem Innenhof sehr schlecht durchlüftet, es riecht wie im Schwimmbad immZimmer und alle Sachen werden Klamm, das ist sehr schade und hat uns gestört.

Das Riad Emotion in Essaouira hat uns ausgezeichnet gefallen. Trotz der sehr zentralen Lage ist es ruhig. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker und reichlich. Die Restaurantempfehlungen von Gisèle haben sich als vorzüglich erwiesen.

Familiäres Hotel in zentraler Lage
Phillipe, Gisele und ihr Team sind sehr herzliche und unaufdringliche Gastgeber. Das Zimmer war sehr schön und das Frühstück ausgesprochen gut. Die Lage ist sehr zentral aber es ist auch sehr ruhig. Kann das Haus uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

Au coeur de la medina
Ce que je retiens en premier lieu, c'est la qualité de l'accueil. Hervé et sa petite équipe sont des hotes exceptionnels. Quand au riad, il est très agréable et aménagé avec beaucoup de gout. Un peu sonore mais tous les riads le sont. Sa situation dans la médina est idéale, tout est à moins de 5mn. La literie est d'excellente qualité est le décor traditionnel des chambres a beaucoup de charme. Mention spéciale au petit déjeuner (continental) très complet, servi avec le sourire sur la terrasse si on le désire. J'ai juste un peu regretté que le patio soit fermé par une verrière et non à ciel ouvert comme souvent. Pas de Wifi mais un pc est à votre disposition à l'accueil. Si je reviens à Essaouira, je choisirai surement de nouveau cette maison ou j'ai passé un sejour très agréable
