    We booked a taxi transfer from the airport. The taxi driver was waiting there with our name on a sign and all was well. But beforehand I had some questions about child seats and didn't get much of a response, which made me a bit nervous before arrival.

    My daughter (4) and I stayed in the Marjana triple room for three nights. We both really enjoyed our stay. She loved the bed on the mezzanine level (although the steps were very steep so younger children certainly need supervision). The staff were really kind to my daughter and very helpful in recommending less touristy restaurants for us and advising on how much things should cost. The location was great. Really close to everything we wanted. The price was excellent and we liked the traditional decor. I would stay here again.

    The city had quite a few flies when we were there (only there for one night so not sure if this is common). We had many when we arrived and when we shared the problem, the team was responsive, shut our windows and sprayed to mitigate.

    Breakfast on the terrace! Many cute seating areas up there. Shared bed was big, the loft was private and comfortable. Hosts were super friendly and the location is fantastic! Just a few minutes walk from parking on the widest Main Street of the Medina. Stores, restaurants and bars line the entrance of the hotel as well as the main street.

    We had a fantastic stay here right in the middle of the Medina! The owner and staff were so accomodating and could not do enough to make you feel welcome and your stay as comfortable as possible. The breakfast was a lovely traditional Moroccan breakfast and was plentiful filled us up, they had no problem with giving you black tea with milk or extra coffee if asked. Was great value and central location right in the Medina, also had a trendy loft bar rooftop terrace which we could buy tapas and alcohol if we wanted.

    A classic riad in the heart of medina
    • Leisure trip

    • Nejma Triple Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    Riad is located close to a club, which plays loud music till late night, which might be audible. As we visited Essaouira during winter, the temperature drops down to a few degrees during the night and there is no heating/air-conditioning, so additional blankets are needed.

    A very cosy and classic riad located in the heart of Essaouira medina with very friendly and helpful staff. Our stay was very enjoyable, especially breakfasts served on the rooftop terrace.

    One of the most beautiful places we stayed at during our tour of Morroco. Entered by a short alley with a high-end carpet shop, you arrive at a tastefully decored atrium. Friendly staff made this a very welcoming place. Our room was large, equipped with two single beds and an en-suite. Loved it!

    The riad is quite old, and the air felt a bit musty, but potpourri was placed in the rooms to help freshen the air.

    This is a traditional, family run riad, in a great location, right in the heart of the Medina. The hotel manager generously upgraded our room at no extra charge. The traditional Moroccan breakfast of coffee/tea, orange juice, bread with oil, honey and jam, mesmet (Moroccan pancakes) and an omelette was delicious and a great start to the day.

    It was so magnificent beautiful as the city of essaouira, everything was good comfortable situated in the old city everything you need is at walking distance. But what attracted me the most is the professionalism and the warm welcome we got from Mr Hanafi. he treated us like we were family and made us feel comfortable and at home.
