We spent one night at this riad and enjoyed everything about it. The riad is beautifully decorated and located in the center of the Medina. The owner was one of our greatest encounter in Morroco, being extremely kind and accomodating. Last but not least, the breakfast was really good. I highly recommend this place for a stay at Essaouira.

It was the best place we stayed in Morrocco! The place was well situated in the Medina but at the same time it was quiet which is good, it was comfortable and decorated with taste with typical Morrocan objects as well as artistic pieces that really give a soul and a cool vide to the place! But the best thing was the hospitality of Mohamed that welcomed us, he was very kind and helpful! On our last day I got very sick and he was so caring towards us, he even cooked us rice to help me recover, we are very grateful that our path crossed with him🙏🏼

It's not negative but just to inform that cars could not go inside the old part where we stayed. But we got a porter with a trolley who carried our bag to the Riad.

Great location. We were greeted by our host Mohamad who was one of most helpful and kindest persons we came across. He offered us healthy coffee and buns which were yummy. He informed us about a lot of things and showed us where to go. Rooms were beautiful and clean. We loved staying there.

This riad is beautiful and cozy. The room I was in (double room) is comfortable and large, and Mohammed was really welcoming and kind. As answer to the review about low wifi, I wanted to say that the wifi was pretty strong for me and I could connect and surf the internet without issues.

Minor but known aspect is the bathroom downstairs for select rooms, but aware of this in advance

Charming riad with limited rooms creating privacy. Nice patio to wash/dry clothes, enjoy the ocean breeze/sounds. Host was extremely gracious and accommodating making a nice breakfast to go before my early departure.

Nothing! Everything was perfect!

Absolutely lovely an authentic. The Riad is gorgeous and very well manteined, they offer you a her bed coffee when you arrive and the man is adorable and extremely helpful. They have two beautiful terraces at the rooftop for customers use. The bed was very comfortable, the temperature of the room was perfect and at night is very quiet and cozy. Superb!

Toilet situation for upstairs room should be more clear in booking.

Had to book this property at short notice due to major issue with my existing Riad in Essaouria. Riad Dar Latifa handled the booking efficiently and I was able stay in the foyer while Mohammed made up my room. Mohammed has a pivotal role in the success of this Riad. He is attentive, delightful with the amusing Google translation and makes a wonderful breakfast. Even told me the wind had got up and a jacket was needed outside in the evening. Riad has a rooftop which while not glamorous is a nice nook to escape to for some quiet time.

This was one of the best Riads I have ever stayed at.From the location to be at the centre and the room was very comfortable, Mohammed the man in charge was very hospitable he made our stay more relaxing and wonderful. He was very coperative and helpful. Our entire stay at Essaouira was amazing because of Mohammed and this beautiful cozy Riad. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Essaouira.

The beds were a little stiff.

The caretaker Mohamed was the sweetest he treated me like his own son and we prayed Jummah together. He is like the Moroccan Jackie chan (ask to see his photos when he was young) I felt at home. The building was beautiful and close to everything a maximum 5 min walk to good food spots.

Good and beautiful place to stay in the medina of Essaouira. Hosts were very welcoming and caring all my stay. Rooms are nicely decorated based by Moroccan style with many nice little details. Breakfast was hearty and delicious all the time. Hence, a good place to explore medina and relax.

Nothing really, I booked a room without a bathroom and had to use one downstairs so probably not best for people who need to use bathroom during the night.

Amazing location and superb breakfast, one of the best I've ever had. The host is very friendly and helpful, we felt very safe here. Very good wifi! It is also very quiet which is perfect for people with sleeping issues.

As our room was on the second floor reaching to the bathroom on the ground floor was taking some time.

It was a very nice, although a short stay. The staff were really friendly. We enjoyed the atmosphere of the riad. The breakfast was really tasty.

A lovely place with a lovely family. They make you feel very welcome with their big hearts. The rooms are comfortable and offer everything you need for a stay. The whole place is very clean and the breakfast over average. Fatima and Mohamed are exceptional hosts, attentive and obligingly. I'll be back soon.

Great breakfast cooked by the wonderful host, and was lovely to sit with others staying at the riad around one table, getting to chat to other travellers.
