    We enjoyed the space, the decor and the view. Miluda (staff) was welcoming and exceptionally kind.

    Friendly and helpful host. Great city and sea views from the rooftop terrace. Authentic Morrocan Riad experience. Cooker, fridge, washing machine, all good. Quirky and fun we loved it. Excellent value for money at this price you couldn't wish for more.

    Such a relaxed place to stay! The roof terrace looks out to the Atlantic and across the Medina and must be one of the best spots for the sunset in Essaouira. Saudade was a gorgeous host, really welcoming. The house was full of art and music and was a lovely place to stay. It was a great location for exploring the town. Would recommend a trip to the fish market for fresh cooked sardines.

    The stairs to the apartment, which is on the third floor, might be an issue for some people. Whilst I was there work was being carried out on the roof terrace which was a bit intrusive. Probably not an ongoing issue, but it was a shame for me.

    Great location, traditional, authentic apartment, which has been nicely refurbished, well equipped, very clean and comfortable, lovely roof terrace with sea views. I loved the interior decor. I would thoroughly recommend this apartment to anyone staying in Essaouira.

    Husband is 6ft 4 and our bathroom was narrow so not comfy for him using toilet as knees on wall. Stairs big, uneven and steep (like a lighthouse) so not recommended if any mobility issues. Having said that we booked for a character authentic property and everything was great and very clean. The description did not mislead. We had the private bathroom separate from our bedroom. We knew this prior and big fluffy towels were provided so no bother for us.

    Character of the property and furnishing, lovely managers. Roof terrace. Location. Kitchenette.

    We loved everything!

    We loved everything about this charming property. But a standout for us was the roof terrace, it is truly higher than its counterparts allowing for uninterrupted views of sunrise and sunset. Hassan was very welcoming and helpful. We also loved having an open fire for the chilly evenings and the communal kitchen on the roof terrace was very well equipped for our needs.

    We booked a double room with private bathroom. The bathroom was "private" in so far as we had it to ourselves, but to use it we had to cross a public hallway. The bathroom was nice and clean but tiny which made it a little complicated to get dry and dressed in there after showering.

    Helpful and very friendly staff, great rooftop terrace.

    Beautifully and tastefully decorated. Spaceous rooms, and well located in the Medina. Malouda is very welcoming and a warm host. The roof terrace is a wonderful place to watch the sunset, with great vistas over the old town and coast. Great value for money.
