10/10 Exceptional

Loïc, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The riad lacked warmth in every sense. Service was intermittent. Room was pleasant but bathroom was below par. Not a single hook to hang damp towels. Breakfast was only served on an upstairs outdoor terrace which was cold in January.. This riad could be fine and has potentially a lot of character, but it felt run down. What a pity!
5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A very pleasant family run Riad in Essouaira. Good breakfast and great rooftop.
7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Moment agréable à essaouira

Très bon accueil. Personnel très agréable et attentionné. Bonne situation du Riad directement dans le centre a proximité des remparts. Terrasse Sur toiture avec vue sur 360 degrés. Agréable.
