    Rooms are small but that is a riad. Little bit of trash on the beach.

    Charming Riad! Lovely host. Breakfast was good and catered to my gluten free needs. Very accommodating! Very clean. Wonderful location. Book the rooms with ocean views. Host even arranged for our transfer to the airport complete with porter to assist with bags.

    The Breakfasts each morning have been simply great!! Couldn't ask for better options really, everything tasted divine and the view on the ocean while eating was astonishing. My room was clean and the bed really comfortable A special mention to the owner who is such a lovely and helpful person!!

    Appt. price is higher than in other medinas in Morocco.

    Essaouira has a beautiful and authentic medina. Spending two nights was just getting a bit of taste. Riad Kafila, appt.nr.1 has a window facing the ocean. You may watch the late summer sunset (on the left), or night stars, or a hazy morning. The breakfast room on the rooftop offers more views and a classic breakfast. Outside the sleeping time, we spent the days in city. Harbour, city walls, restaurants, shops, people, YES, Esaouira is fabulous

    There were a few flies up in the breakfast room by the windows but they didn’t attack our breakfast which was fine.

    Very clean and comfortable, the breakfast and views were so lovely. Room was cleaned daily and the atmosphere was very calming within the hotel. Nice and quiet, no noise but the noise of the ocean’s waves was tranquil. Hamzah and staff were 10/10, hospitality was top notch and I’m pleased I stayed there.

    Where do I begin? Walking into our room was such a happy experience - the room was EXACTLY as it was shown in the photographs; great size, with a couch and additional twin bed. The view from our room's window was an 11 out of 10 - with birds breezing by and the sound of the ocean crashing against the rocks. The covered rooftop where we ate our delicious breakfast was the cherry on top. Quiet, cozy and the BEST views of th coast. Our hosts were incredibly kind and accommodating, and made our experience one that we'd want to repeat. We would recommend Riad Kafila without hesitation.

    Our room had big windows and a view of the ocean. It was the perfect place to have an afternoon tea and enjoy the view. The design of the room was also lovely. Minimal but warm and well executed. Breakfast was upstairs, also overlooking the ocean and was delicious. The staff was friendly and helpful but also gave you your space which I appreciated. I would absolutely recommend this to property to anyone!
