In a country of bad hygiene this was a great Riad. Hygiene was great, staff was extremely friendly and the room was very spacious. We were a bit careful with booking because it had so few reviews, but that’s because they are new.

Huge shout out to Hamid and Zara! The kindest people on the planet! Always smiling and happy to help! Organised out trip to the dromedaries and horse rides at the Ranch Diabat, where we saw the most beautiful sunset! The King Suite overlooking the ocean was unique and full of character. Coming in and out of the Riad felt like home, with Hamid and Zara welcoming us every time! Their recommendations for local restaurants and real traditional experiences around the Medina were always in spot! We always knew where to go! This is definitely a must if you’re ever in Essaouira!!

A beautiful, traditional Riad which was full of authentic typical Morocco decor and lots of lovely green plants. Very nicely done rooms that were colorful and cosy. I'd absolutely want to come back and stay here again. The staff were very friendly and gave lots of great information too. The breakfast was delicious too, and plenty of it :)

Very friendly and helpful staff. Despite being located in a busy street of the Medina, when the doors of this riad opens, the noise stays out. The courtyard has some jungle vibes with beautiful plants hanging from the top floor. Breakfast is simple but fresh and good.

Amazing riad in a very central yet quiet location of Essaouira. Very tastefully designed with plenty of local art pieces. The owner is very friendly and makes you feel at home even when you are staying there for one night only (my case). Special kudos to the traditional moroccan breakfast on the terrace!
