Reviews of RIAD LES DEUX MONDES

The loveliest and most welcoming staff. We felt so looked after

There was nothing we didn't like

Swimming pool was exceptional

The breakfast and level of consistency could be much better, in need of a little redecorating.

Everything was well laid out. Lovely pool, restaurant and rooms

Nothing

A comfortable and quiet place, the staff are wonderful and friendly they provides you with all the service you need, the kitchen and cleaning girls, I don’t know their names but I would like to thank you all, and finally (Youssef) was very kind to us, thank you 🤍💙

We stayed here for two nights and would come back again. The place is very beautiful, very peaceful and close to the Essaouira city and beaches. The pool is great addition and the restaurant that offers lunch and dinner is also very nice and it was very convenient since we didn't have to go back to town after an afternoon chill by the pool to have dinner. The breakfast was also very nice. We had a large spacious room on the ground floor. The staff helped us by printing out our boarding passes for our flight back.

Two small things somewhat bothered us. First, out bathroom would flood after each shower because it was not done properly, so the bathroom floor was wet all the time. Second thing, the room door had no isolation what so ever and it was opposite the reception so when there were late night guests checking-in it was as if a bunch of people are laughing in our room, and I even had to get up and ask them to be a little quiet since we had children sleeping in the room. I think this room was not meant to be for rent but was later arranges in this way.

The calm location

The commuting time and cost to town

Staff were lovely and helpful, especially since we don't speak Arabic or French, and the food was really good. The rooms were surprisingly cool despite no aircon so we were really comfortable in hanging out up there. The pool was lovely and having the restaurant back onto it was really nice. Definitely would go back and my mother definitely preferred it to being in a riad in the medina as it was so much quieter and felt like you could just melt away in beautiful surroundings. I wish we saw the young man who checked us in on the way out to tip him because he was incredibly helpful and kind, I believe his name was Abdaul (please forgive me if I misheard and you're reading this!). All in all, it was lovely to spend a few days chilling by the pool, petting the lovely hotel kitten that would fall asleep on your lap, eating good food, and being away from the city (even if the city is still a relatively quiet one).

Only issue that might have presented itself was our balcony tables were outside another room's window. Luckily it was empty when we were there but we worried that our smoking might have caused discomfort for other people had the room been in use. I fully expected it as we were obviously in Morocco but my mother was still surprised (despite my warning) that there was no alcohol on the menu. This is not an issue but just thought I would mention in case others are looking to bring their British family.

The place's location. The calmness The food The rooms The staff, especially the one named Youssef - a very friendly and helpful person

Everthings needs cleaning except for the rooms. - The swimming pool needs cleaning. The hallways need cleaning. The dining area needs cleaning.

Amazing location, spacious family room. Kids loved the swimming pool. Staff were very polite and helpful, especially Hasna we enjoyed her cooking, and Abdel.

Although was ok, some improvements could do in the bathrooms.

For the price, this place is wonderful! The building is stylish, the decor simple and traditional, the staff were helpful and attentive, the pool is lovely, the meals are freshly prepared and reasonably priced, and the showers always had plenty of hot water. Essaouira is only a 10 minute taxi ride away, and costs €5. There is no air con, but the rooms are cool, due to the breeze (in May). The restaurant does not sell alcohol but you are permitted to buy your own and drink it on site.

Whilst the beds and bedding were very comfortable, the pillows were hard and lumpy. No hairdryers are provided in the rooms, so you’ll need to take your own. The loungers could do with new cushions.

Staff unhelpful /untrained /no idea what service is/ Hotel badly equipped eg 2 hangers and when asked for more had ‘can’t you just put your clothes on the shelves?’ as an answer!/rooms badly furnished .. what’s the point in a big terrace with just a tiny table and 2 chairs on it?? / food reallly bad

The photos on the website.

The food was awful The service was terrible - you had to search around for someone to help and when you asked a question like ‘could you give me some hangers please?’ The answer was ‘why don’t you stack your clothes in the cupboard?’ The comfort - terrible pillows, awful sunbeds, distinct lack of furniture. What’s the point in a massive terrace but nowhere to lounge?

Great people, great location, great food!!!

Nothing

The location is perfect, the place is spotless, and the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Ideal for families, with a warm and inviting atmosphere. Highly recommended!

The hotel was in the style of a riad but not centrally located. However, a 10 minute, 50 dirham taxi ride got you into the heart of Essouaira. The breakfast was very good but there were no facilities close by to buy drinks or snacks for the evening. The staff were attentive and polite.

Hot water in the bathroom was temperamental and unpredictable.
