This Riad is very well located near the shops and restaurants. Room was lovely and stylishly appointed. There was plenty of choice for breakfast. Our room had limited views as was facing rearwards. A sea view would have been nice but as the wind seemed to be constantly ferocious, I'm not sure if it would have been possible to have a window open. The Riad overlooks the beach, however the beach itself is not great, having its fair share of plastic detritus. The roof terrace is nice but very windy. Essaouira is much cooler than Marrakesh, due to the constant onshore wind.

TVs in the bedrooms seemed a good idea. However the only channels available were German language shopping channels. The reception staff confirmed that this was all that was available. So utterly pointless, not that we wanted to watch much. But an hour or so to catch up with the news may have been welcome.

Sehr gute Lage und Frühstück. Es ist schon besonders, wenn man die Wellen aus dem Fenster hört.

Wonderful view from Seaside room. Staff was amazing - very helpful in suggesting restaurants and activities in the Medina. They also helped to book reservations during our stay.

Food in the restaurant was good but not great. Breakfast is fine, but might not recommend having lunch or dinner at the Riad.

The view from the room window was spectacular. The roof terrace was great.

The room was very small, the toilet was old and smelly. The shower did not drain. The whole room needs a paint job and brightening up. The immediate area outside the hotel was filthy.
