Payment was in dirham, but cash was easily obtained from nearby ATM machines. After check in we never met the reception staff again during our stay. It did not have the hospitality of other riads we stayed in. Breakfast was served in a room off the top terrace, and was difficult to find until shown where it was.

This riad is in an excellent location, just off a main street full of restaurants, cafes and shops. A man with a carroca was sent to meet our taxi at the gate to the medina, and he showed us to the riad about 5 minutes walk away. We were welcomed on arrival with traditional mint tea and delicious pastries, while our bags were delivered to our room. Our suite was large with space for extra beds (behind a privacy curtain), a large seating area and a fridge.

The location of this Riad is perfect! It was very convenient for us to come back from our strolls in the medina of Essaouira to wind down a little. The staff of the Riad are very sweet and welcoming. The cats were also sweet! The breakfast is worth mentioning as well.

Leaving!

The Riad was lovely as were all the staff especially madame who made our breakfasts. I have never seen such perfect omelettes and the Moroccan pancakes were delicious.

Poor directions to the property. Once you arrive, you realize it is on a narrow street near a main pedestrian artery...a simple walk from where the airport taxis drop you off. But as our cell phone roaming was not working, it took us ages to find it.

Abundant, homemade breakfasts. Size of our room (we booked the 3-bed option). Sunning terraces. Friendliness of staff. Having a small refrigerator to store beverages. The hot water in the shower. Wonderful choice for Essaouira!!!

We were greeted by the manager, Ayoub, who served us freshly made mint tea and a plate of delicious local pastries on our arrival, and was very helpful whenever we needed assistance or questions answered. Each morning, we were served a lovely breakfast in the rooftop breakfast room by Fatima. We would definitely stay at Riad Arambys again.

CASH ONLY payment for the entire stay - very expensive to get cash out as a tourist, if your stay costs >2000dh, you’ll have to withdraw multiple times, costing potentially €15 in ATM fees - get a card machine please!

Beautiful rooms, good location, lovely breakfast lady and good food!

Great place! Highly recommend. Wonderful staff and perfect location.

The only downside to life in a Riad is the lack of sound proofing. Our room boarded the narrow alleyway and one night in particular was very noisy but that’s not the fault of the Riad. Thankfully I had earplugs. Only a bit of a problem as we’d specifically come to relax.

Breakfast was amazing. Omelette cooked to order, warm fresh bread, fresh fruit and avocado. The family who own and run the Riad were wonderful. So helpful and accommodating.

No complaints!

They couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. Perfect medina to enjoy Essaouira from, breakfast was great and room was lovely. Really made you feel at home.

An oasis of calm. Superlative service and hospitality during our entire stay from the staff. The rooms were in keeping with the riad with lovely artwork adorning the walls. The breakfasts were homely with super coffee, jams and bread. The terrace is a great sunspot with great views of the city. One of our party had an unfortunate accident in the city and Ayoub was amazing in looking after her.

We do not speak French and the owners English was only a little better than our French and there were miscommunications. An example, the owner reserved a taxi for us to catch the train in Marrakech. The porter brought our baggages to the parking lot outside the Medina but no taxi and the porter did not know what to do. I had to ran back to the riad trying to clarify the situation. It was eventually resolved but caused some delay and anxieties!

A beautiful place with nice courtyard and beautiful rooftop porch for breakfast. The owner are very friendly and helpful. The lady cooked breakfast egg and pancake for us and they were delicious. They also provided a lot of nice and fresh fruits which we did not get in other Morocco places we stayed.

They really need to invest in air conditioning. The room was warm, stuffy, and musty.

Very friendly staff, clean, quiet, well-appointed room, handy location, good value. The best breakfasts we had in Morocco!
