    Mustafa was a very friendly and supportive host. The Riad is nicely situated very close to the main square and port in Essaouira, offers good breakfast, clean and comfy rooms and very good value for money.

    A bit rustic but that goes with the charm. The window of our premium room is actually the glazed door which looks out onto the shared landing.

    Lovely staff, comfy bed, great location, nice breakfast, good value for money.

    Our room was quite cold - no heater. And sometimes noisy because we were close to the port and main square so there was often loud music at night.

    Lovely helpful staff. Good breakfasts. Excellent location. Comfy beds and lots of hot water. Nice rooftop area.

    It's beside a bar with loud music but with earplugs it wasn't a big problem

    The staff were extremely helpful. I lost my phone and one of the staff went with me in a taxi to the location where I could get it back. Good breakfast and right in the centre of everything....close to beach.

    It is a bit noisy as there’s a nightclub right next to the house. The band finishes around 1.30 so it’s not too bad :)

    There was a problem with the washing machine so towels arrvied late, which is fine, but they had stains on them and were not properly clean.

    It is very central and the staff, in our case Mustafa, very friendly. We had a beautiful und tasty breakfast on the roof.

    The room was very loud early in the morning because of tourists were talking very loudly in the interior garden, even if breakfast started at 9 am. They were loudly speaking, waking us up, one hour earlier at least.

    I liked decor and Mustafa friendliness.

    This is not the Riad' s fault or responsibility as we had a lovely 2 nights stay, but the 2 nights we stayed there was loud music playing next-door until 2 am so, either join the party or bring some ear plugs! Mind you, may just have been these 2 nights.

    Lovely Riad in the centre of everything. 5 mins walk to the Skala and also 10 mins to the beach. Staff very friendly and the rooms are nice. Breakfast is served for a long stretch of time 9-12 am, and is French style. Lovely views from the top roof terrace. Host arranged for a taxi transfer from the Riad to Marrakech and was all relaxed and seamless. Staff very accommodating and smiles and make you fell at ease.

    The breakfast could be better with a little bit of fruits and/or juice, music noisy nearby until the midnight, smelly drainage.

    The house is beautiful, the terraces are especially espectacular, the location is perfect, the room is spacious, the bed is comfortable.

    The Riad is beside a club that plays music until 2am, it was hard to fall asleep and I wouldn't recommend the facility if you travel with children because of the noise, even if the noise is not the Riad's fault.

    The staff was very friendly and the breakfast was very good. the room was clean and comfortable.

    - We were woken up by prayers through megaphone at 4:30 a.m. (which is not really the Dar's decision..) - We found some dirty spots in the towels/sheets, but we have to admit this was also the case in other places we stayed at Morocco

    Excellent location, beautiful rooms, tasty breakfast, great value for money. Amazing people! Very kind and helpful, and we really appreciated everything they did for us and that they were always with a smile!
