Essaouira
The hotel is located just off the main square, easy to find and close to the port. The two hosts were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast in the courtyard was good. We had been travelling for a while, including a trip into the desert, and when I asked about laundry possibilities it was done in-house for free! Nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended.

Cool riad in the medina!
Difficult to find; love the door knocker. Fabulous courtyard, which is where we ate breakfast! Staff was friendly & polite; Internet worked well. Clean rooms, super high ceilings, windows onto courtyard, comfortable bed, plenty of hot water. Room #4 has no TV or fridge (although we didn't early expect a fridge).

Great location, great place
We stayed here for only one night, but wished we had spent longer. We were travelling with a baby and the proprietor kindly upgraded us to a bigger room on the second floor. The place is tastefully done and very tidy, the staff is gracious. All in all, it's great value for money. The location is excellent as well, as it is situated in the heart of the walled city and very easy to find. Google maps points to the correct location. If you're arriving at Supratours bus station, you can simply walk to the hotel in about 10 minutes.

Charming 250 year old restored Riad
A beautiful galleried court yard, a roof top terrace with views of the beach. What more is there to say - Oh yes helpful staff, Ibrahim to minister to your requests, i.e. open your wine, put a log on the inviting open fire. Give directions answer questions. Leila and her assistant to serve your breakfast with a smile and "Bon Appetit." Finally James the Owner well traveled, perfect English, expert knowledge of the best places to eat round town. Always ready to have a conversation by the fire of an evening a gracious host. I would recommend this Riad and I shall return. Gerry

Friendly welcome and a great breakfast
An excellent and inexpensive choice in a lively part of town near to several restaurants and rooftop bars and close to the port, beach and shopping street. Car parking is easy nearby and everywhere is walkable.The room was clean and the bathroom was more than adequate. There is a rooftop terrace with good furniture that would be very lovely later in the year.
