Riad Gloria

Clean and nice people attending. Very comfortable room and good energy.

As a Riad you can hear noises from all the building but it was quiet during sleeping hours

The host (Luigi) was very friendly and helpful. He provided many hints how to spend a great time in Essaouira. The sleeping room and bathroom were comfortable and clean. I had a nice view from the terrace. The breakfast was also very good.

The building was old but charming and the welcome was very nice

There wasn’t a light by the bed and there were cameras on the roof by the sun beds that moved when I was there. I frequently found my door and windows completely open or unlocked after cleaning. Shower was like a tap with no spray to speak of.

It was clean and mattress was comfortable

I didn’t like having to leave my room to access my bathroom especially at night I would have preferred an ensuite (this is not made clear on booking) The eco lights were frustrating if you were in the middle of something and they went off as happens always, my kettle did not work, there are security cameras everywhere I have stayed in Essouria 6 times now and have never known anything like it, even outside one that shouts at you if your too close to the door. Breakfast was exactly the same every morning no variety, not even asked if we would like our eggs different. And 2 very strange things, my friend left her lamp on when we went out and when she came back it had been switched off so someone entered her room to do this, and the shower gel and shampoo I brought with me suddenly diminished more than I was using it very odd…..I wish also they would use quilts on the beds instead of old style sheets and blankets not quite sure all those big thick blankets were washed and dried between guests…..
