We stayed here for one night in March and wished we could have stayed for longer. The staff were helpful and charming and we loved the atmosphere and the decor. Breakfast on the terrace was complete heaven.

This place was away from the centre (in a nice way), the views were beautiful from our 3rd floor window, we literally had the waves crashing against the base of the hotel. The staff were quite helpful and there was wifi though this didn't always work for us. The location was really great and we found our way around this... More

I stayed with my son for 5 nights in February 2012, originally booked 4 nights but loved Essaouira so that we wanted to extend the stay. The house is wonderful, Essaouira is super-charming, the location is great. Staying with a 7-year-old and sometimes wanting to read longer than him at night, the only thing I missed in the rooms (we... More

We stayed there for two nights in early January and really enjoyed the amazing ocean view (and sound!) from the Nour room. Our room was very tastefully decorated, just like the rest of the hotel. The view from the terrace, where breakfast is served, is wonderful. Our room was quite cold, though, so we had to ask for a heater.... More

We specifically chose this Riad for its location by the sea and stayed in the Abla apartment which is laid out over 2 floors with great views from both the bedroom and living room below. The kitchen is small but has all you need and had we been staying more than 3 nights we would have liked to cook one... More

I stayed here in December for Christmas and had a lovely visit. The staff are helpful and friendly and the rooms clean and pretty. The roof top terrace was a wonderful place to have breakfasts and afternoon tea and has great views over the medina and the sea. Best to note that these rooms are designed to be cool for... More

Thank you for your nice review. Concerning the sunshine, the house is facing the ocean so, considering the position of Essaouira, the rooms with a sea view are looking to the west and in the morning, there is obviously no sun but in the evening, you can enjoy wonderful sunsets. More

This Guest house is lovely!!! We chose a double room with a sea view and we weren't disspointed. The room was small and cosy. This was the first place that we did not feel the cold in the night. There were candles lit in the hallway and this made the place romantic. The people that worked at the guest house... More

We had a very nice time here, a very welcoming experience. We even decided to stay for a few extra nights. No need to get the room with sea sight, cause just hearing it is priceless.

Stayed here for a week and had a wonderful time. The hotel has nice views of the coast if you get the right room, but you can always go up and sit on the roof terrace. The room was spacious enough and spotless. It did get a bit damp though due to being right by the sea but I don't... More
