The staff were absolutely amazing. They took such great care of us, from delicious breakfast and mint tea to keeping our room spotless. They even helped us practice our Arabic. The location was perfect, right in the heart of the medina.

We were amazed by the beautiful place that is Riad Yanitri. It's honestly a little paradise! Perfect for a relaxed and fun time out. The rooms were very clean, the staff extremely welcoming and friendly. Also there is a spectacular petanque court. One of the most beautiful accomodations we've stayed at. Thank you :)

Riad Al Manara is a gorgeous accommodation and we had a wonderful stay all around. The room was beautiful, spacious and comfortable, everything was incredibly clean, the location was amazing, Corinne and her staff were very kind and we received great tips about restaurants, rooftops and little shops.

This property was perfectly located. Near to the car parks outside the walls but within walking distance to all the markets, alleys, shops and restaurants. The breakfast was the best breakfast we had the whole trip and we have been up and down the whole coast. The view from the rooftop at breakfast was exceptional. The staff were incredibly friendly and kind and could not do enough. The bath was amazing and relaxing and they kindly lit a fire for the cool evening. We cannot wait to come back.

We highly recommend a stay in this beautiful Riad. Liked not only the cosy, very clean room, nice rooftop terrace with view over the ocean or the delicious breakfast but in particular the friendliness of the two owners, Hamid and Zahra. They were incredibly helpful in making our stay in Essaouira a total success (guidance around the city, activity booking, restaurant recommendations, arrangements for airport transportation etc.).

Amazing location, spectacularly furnished riad. Simo, the host, was the best you could hope for, gave great recommendations for our short stay. Lovely breakfast and coffee provided. I’ve stayed in 2 other riads in essaouira over the last couple of years which were much more expensive and much less enjoyable. If this is in your budget Don’t bother shopping around - just book it.

    A beautiful, traditional Riad which was full of authentic typical Morocco decor and lots of lovely green plants. Very nicely done rooms that were colorful and cosy. I'd absolutely want to come back and stay here again. The staff were very friendly and gave lots of great information too. The breakfast was delicious too, and plenty of it :)

    Very friendly and helpful staff. Despite being located in a busy street of the Medina, when the doors of this riad opens, the noise stays out. The courtyard has some jungle vibes with beautiful plants hanging from the top floor. Breakfast is simple but fresh and good.

    Amazing riad in a very central yet quiet location of Essaouira. Very tastefully designed with plenty of local art pieces. The owner is very friendly and makes you feel at home even when you are staying there for one night only (my case). Special kudos to the traditional moroccan breakfast on the terrace!
