Not far from fabulous.
A really nice riad with very good and helpful staff and a beautiful roof top restaurant. Very good food.
The bathroom needed updating and the shower above the bath hit the window instead of the bath so was difficult to use (room 311)
Breakfast was the same each morning which could be monotonous after 2.
A wonderful location though and very nicely presented.

Our room had a leaking ceiling, a few drops of water every minute and we were woken up at 6:30 by the kitchen upstairs, but got a new room the next day, staff very friedly. Honestly should add some option to get inside at night - had to knock on the window, but all good in general. The roof adds a lot to the experience, would choose the riad just because of that

Great view, great stay
Amazing staff on front desk, great hot water and quick to warm up, and amazing views. It was a little windy with breeze coming through at times but we were there during a really windy period. The staff are hilarious and the food is top notch (esp dinner).

Loved everything about Essaouira
Perfect location inside the medina, and right on the water. From our room we could see the sunset, we had a wonderful stay. The only things I would add are a luggage bench and one of those retractable lines to hang clothes on that sometimes are located along above the bathtub.

Beautifully decorated. Great views from restaurant and terrace. Very good restaurant. Very generous breakfast that was included.
Make sure you ask for sea view room for a great view of the beach and the Atlantic ocean

This Riad was right next to the sea. The views were fabulous from the sun deck. There was also a great indoor sun lounge if too chilly outside. Both were next to the restaurant which also had excellent views and the food was also good. The room was comfortable, clean and had windows which was a welcome bonus. Staff were friendly and helpful. Essaouira was much more pleasant and cleaner than Marrakech. The woodworking area definitely worth a visit. It has a great beach although the sea was rather cold! Good selection of restaurants.

Unbelievable beautiful view from the room facing the ocean.
Food was very good too.
Only negative is that they publish having airconditioning in the rooms well they do not, not nice.
But with the ocean air was good enough.

Nice stay, extraordinary views, convenient location, and well appointed rooms. Regretfully a poor and disappointing management service with misleading practices on room rate and reservations. Disappointing in the end, will not come back, too bad.

We arrived and we were given a room that was different from the one we paid for. The room we were offered was half of the price of what we paid. The property staff including the manager told us that that is what they received from the agency that represent Expedia and they showed us the document they received from Travel Councilling group. The problem we had is the property did not offer any help to solve the issue, they asked me to go call Expedia to figured it out. That was a poor service to client. I spent one hour with Expedia Agent over the phone and at the end I accepted to pay extra money to get the room I wanted.
This was a poor experience . Expedia must revise its agreement with its intermediary in Morocco as even Expedia staff could not reach neither the agency nor the property management.
