Reviews of Riad Ghazal

I loved it! Every single corner was stunning. Very beautifully decorated and designed. The rooms are a bit small for two and, even you get to have your space, it’s a bit limited. However, is still comfortable to stay in. They have a beautiful swimming pool and they give you towels in case you don’t have any, which is a nice gesture. They also have boarding games, pool and a lot of space to stay around. The hosts are very kind and friendly, and the staff there are genuinely nice.

The only small issue was that the shower drained a bit slowly and sometimes would get the whole bathroom wet. On the other hand, I think it’s a bit more limiting to get there without a car, so I’d recommend to rent one to move freely. (but that’s just my preference, I’m sure you can get there without a taxi!)

Everything was perfect, the vibe, the location, the accomodation, the facilities… The hosts (Yamal & Kathy) make you feel at home from the very beginning. They are lovely personalities with a big passion to create an extraordinary experience for their guests. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Nothing bad about this place.

We only stayed for one night but we regret not staying more. The Riad is big, clean and beautiful with very clean rooms, looks better than pictures. The owners and everyone there are very friendly and the breakfast was delicious.

Quiet and comfortable location, very nice and helpful people, tasty breakfast, quite close to visit Essaouira by car.

We really recommend a stay at Riad Ghazal. It was very tidy and clean. We had our own bathroom and enjoyed the outdoor swimming pool. The breakfast was very good and everyone was lovely. You can also play pool billard at the riad.

Nothing! Everything was great!

Very friendly host and great stay

Beware – you might not get the room you booked. I reserved a room weeks in advance, but when we arrived, we were told it was double-booked. The owner claimed it was a mistake, yet we weren’t informed until check-in—too late to find an alternative. That’s not professional or ethical. While we received a refund for the price difference, that’s not what I needed—I just wanted the room I booked. I don’t like leaving negative reviews, but there were multiple issues that left a bad impression. The riad itself is nicely decorated, quiet, and comfortable. The breakfast was good and the Wi-Fi speed was decent. They have a small pool table, but the room is too tight to enjoy playing—it’s more kid-sized. Also, there’s nothing to do outside the riad; it’s surrounded by construction sites.

A beautiful riad providing a calm and tranquil setting after a few hectic days in Marrakech. Warm welcome from our helpful and charming hosts. Good location near Essaouira and surrounding beaches, all a short drive away. Very good value for money.

The mattress was a bit too soft for our liking. There is a lot of building going on in the town so the surroundings are not very picturesque but the riad itself is lovely.

Arrived here from Marrakesh... the long-way... with some 5 hours in the saddle. Bit of a bugger to find from the road using Google Maps initially... but easy when you know how... and look for the signs! However the hospitality was overwhelming with a "bikers beverage of choice" and a quick brief of the Riad and room facilities... Jamal and Kati made me feel very welcome indeed. Great accommodation and very secure parking for many bikes. The room was excellent with great en-suite facilities. The shower was hot and powerful... great for my aches and pains! The bed was big and comfortable. Although they didn't offer dinner the french restaurant they recommended was tres magnifique... and only 400m from the accommodation. The sunset "beverage" on the terrace was idyllic... no noise... just birdsong! I slept like the dead and woke to a magnificent breakfast on the patio overlooking the pool... I did not want to leave! Again I would stay here every time I come to the west coast of Morocco... and despite not being in Essaouira... its in Ghazoua... about 8km outside... its worth it for the peace and tranquility... and that restaurant up the road! I really didn't want to leave... but Casablanca was calling! But to any travellers... especially bikers... for me, it doesn't get any better than this for a weary traveller to rest! to Jamal and Kati... Thank you... Shkran... Tanmirt... Merçi... Je suis Mouchè... ton ami!

What didn't I like... having to leave! :)

Perfect stay in beautiful and clean apartament. Swimming pool, bilard, tasty breakfast.

The staff and service was very friendly. Very good and rich breakfast. Fresh orange juice, coffee or tea, some fruits, jams, amlou, argan oil, olives, baguette, morokkain pancakes and changing sweets.

The property is surrounded by a lot of dirt in the middle of nowhere. Not a nice view.

Comfortable clean room with several windows, rich breakfast with fresh croissants, kind hosts. They allowed us the early Check-in

My stay at this Riad in Essaouira was absolutely incredible! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by the most wonderful, friendly, and warm staff who made me feel completely at home. The cleanliness of the Riad was impeccable, and the delightful fragrance that filled the air added a special touch to the experience. The adorable cats roaming around were such a joy and made the atmosphere even more charming. The highlight, however, was the delicious Moroccan breakfast – it was 100% authentic and simply fantastic. This Riad truly captures the essence of Moroccan hospitality, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Essaouira!

It was a great weekend spent in ghazal riad, and i appreciate a lot the kindness of the staff, thank you.

Nothing.

This place is magnificent. Everything just been renovated to european standards and it's decorated with style. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. So much so in fact that we believed that we were allowed more that was actually the case. Caused a little bit of a stressful situation for all of us but in the end, both parties agreed that it was a misunderstanding. I do not recommend to visit with young children (todlers) unless your children are perfectly behaved. We didn't look for one moment and my nephew ruined a cushion... The owner was understanding enough to turn a blind eye to it. It's close tp the "km 8" where you can find artisans work for a reasonnable price.

Pool was cold as ice! :P

The property was so lovely! The pool was amazing. The bedroom and bathroom were amazing. I'd highly recommend staying here.
