I loved staying here, the property is beautiful and it smelt amazing too. I wish I had had time to stay another night; the roof terrace is lovely with comfy sofas and sunbeds to soak up the sunshine on.
I loved that the water in my room was filtered and in a carafe, thus avoiding plastic. There needs to be more of this in Morocco.
The omelettes at breakfast were divine. It was the best breakfast I had during my stay in Morocco.
The location was great, just a short walk to the shops and restaurants, and to the ramparts.
I did a cooking class while in Essaouira and brought back leftovers which I was able to put in the communal fridge and had for my picnic lunch the next day; great facility to have.
Highly recommend and I would definitely return, if I'm lucky enough to.

Excellent, characterful riad, ideally situated in the medina, run by exceptional women. We stayed in one of the family suites which was very good value for money. It had a separate double bedroom, twin beds plus a sofa on the mezzanine and another sofa/living room. Beautiful, Moroccan-style bathroom with excellent shower. Breakfast was served in the enclosed roof-top room one morning and outside roof terrace on our second morning as better weather. There’s a lovely communal lounge where they lit a fire for us and served tea after we came in from dinner one evening. There’s a library and another outside patio on the ground floor. The women who run the riad are so friendly and helpful. Beautiful artwork throughout. Exceptionally clean and well-run. Very highly recommended.
Set on the city wall, this beautiful riad offers a rooftop terrace overlooking the old medina of Essaouira. Its spacious guest rooms are elegantly decorated with Moroccan design and a fireplace.

We had an amazing time staying at the Madada Mogador. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and gave us some great tips about things to do around town (even during last day of Ramadan). Location is perfect, breakfast at the terrace was super nice and the restaurant is 5 stars ❤️ much love. Hope to be back one day.

Very nice and comfortable hotel. The interter is really stylish, the staff is hospitable. The location is quite convenient: the central street is a 1-minute walk away, the embankment is 5-7 minutes away. The bus station can also be easily reached in 10 minutes by walking just in a straight line. I had a very good impression of you, thank you!

Beautiful accommodation. The view at the roof terrace is otherworldly. Very clean - the place is thoroughly cleaned everyday - and the breakfast is very good. Isabelle has a sense of hospitality that is "hors catégorie". I am a solo traveler, and Isabelle and Abdelkader really took care of me; it felt like a sanctuary.
Isabelle gives great recommendations on where to eat. One day Isabelle took me to the market to buy some fish, chose a restaurant for me where they grilled the fish and even showed me how to eat sardines the Moroccan way. Do visit the hammam, Isabelle makes reservations. My only regret is that I did it the last day of my stay, otherwise I would have definitely done it again.
These hotels offer something a little different in the way of design and usually sit in a trendy, urban part of town. More intimate than your average hotel, they offer high standards with a homely vibe.

Ideal location right in the centre of the medina and just a short walk to the harbour. Lots of good places to eat, drink near by. Beautiful terrace with the stunning views. We loved the interior design - very unique and Moroccan! The team were great - always friendly and happy to help. Special thanks to Karima and Khalil for everything they’ve done for us and for making our holiday extra special!
Lovely location, interior design, and staff were very hospitable. Given how busy the streets are outside, this felt like an oasis given how quiet it was.
I know this has been written many times before, but this was by far the best breakfast ever. Lovingly and freshly prepared while sitting in the open kitchen of this little gem in Essaouira. Lovely owner and super tasteful, harmonious interior design. Not too far from central parking lot - which helps as well.
Karine and Karim the hosts and their staff are wonderful. The property is beautiful, with spacious suites and stunning decor - set in lush gardens with a beautiful pool. The garden is filled with the scent of oranges. Breakfasts by the pool were delicious and can also recommend the dinner - fabulous. Fantastic tranquil getaway in Morocco, as well as a great place to work (WiFi is good) and lots of space with desk space and good lighting to work. A designer's paradise!
The rooftop is stunning. It’s definitely a great spot, with a nice view, breeze and the service is great!
The riad itself and the interior design is lovely as well.
Awesome staff, I must say the people of Essaouira are super friendly and kind !
On arrival we were greeted with tea and biscuits.
Room was clean stylish and good size.
Each corner we took was like turning a page in a interior design mastaclass, beautiful.
Rooftop Pool was peaceful with amazing views.
Breakfast was Incredible, enough to fill us up till way into the afternoon. All the staff were friendly and professional.
Just came back from Essaouira where we had the best stay at Esprit Bleu riad. Best welcome by Noemi who made us feel like at home. The rooms are stunning and a special mention for the beautiful bathrooms. We only had breakfast there as we wanted to explore the city but loved it (especially the fresh viennoiseries). And the boutique showcasing local designers is a must visit. We would definitely recommend staying there if you are travelling to Essaouira.
