Lovely little Road, nice breakfast but carbohydrate heavy so be aware diabetics. Room and bed were comfortable and hot water working well. The staff at the hotel were friendly and professional and were really nice to put up with my almost nonexistent French. I would recommend for authentic stays.

Spacious room and bathroom, cute interior, simple but tasty breakfast, easy to find in the medina, friendly staff who offer a map of the area and some tips. However the bathroom needs work : barely any water comes out of the shower and there isn't always hot water. The open shower format makes it so that water gets everywhere. There is no fan and the only window gives inside so the humidity never really goes away.

Location: The location is great. It's very central, just 5 minutes to the main market. Hotel/Riad: Riad itself is already a bit older, everything is in ok condition but it needs some renovations soon. Our room was not the best, the ventilation in the bathroom was broken, the mattress was terrible and so were the pillows. Also the room could have been cleaner. Our bed did not feel clean and had some bits and peaces on the linen. There was dust hanging of the walls. Personal: The staff is very helpful and nice. They helped us with everything we needed. Parking: Even though it says on Expedia that there is parking, this is not really the truth. There are some private parking lots about 10 minutes from the riad where you can leave the car for 2 Eur per night, which was fine.

The Nafoura Mogador is a tiny place in the heart of the Medina of Essaouira. But you will love it from the entrance: welcoming common spaces, clean and comfortable rooms, sunny terrace and, above all, very supportive staff! Definitely, a recommendable address in Essaouira!
