Great Location and Friendly Staff
It is a nice riad with very friendly staff and owners. The common area is fine. It is a B&B with a very good breakfast, but has no restaurant as shown on Expedia. Location is excellent and not too difficult to find. The flaws are in the area of maintenance (rather common in Morocco) and my room had some strange floor plan. Bath room and room are not separated. The bed is on a higher level (loft), which can only be reached with a ladder. The area below the bed is the (uncomfortable) seating area. The height is only 1.75m, so taller people may hit their heads, when standing up.

Nice riad
Nice riad with french owners, the communication was a bit hard since they only spoke french but we did our best to understand eithother. Very friendly and happy staff. Breakfast was one of the best in morroco that we experienced. The riad was easy to find at the end of one of the main streets. We liked it a lot. Though small rooms with very small toilets.

Perfect place to stay in a wonderful coastal town
I cannot praise this small riad enough. While it has been renovated in a more modern style, it retains a comfortable, warm atmosphere. The rooms are exceptionally clean and the beds just the right mix of firmness and softness for me. The wi-fi is fast and the four breakfasts I had were the best that I had in my 4 weeks in Morocco. The riad itself is located at the quiet end of one of the main streets of Essaouira's medina so there is no disturbance from outside during sleeping hours. The man square, port, restaurants, shopping area and cafes are all within an easy 5 minute walk.. Monika and Fatima were amazing hosts who helped make my first solo trip to Essaouira Morocco wonderful. I hope to return one day.

Modern Riad
My girlfriend and I spent two nights in this Riad following a short excursion to Essaouira from Marrakech. This is a modern renovated Riad although they have done a good job of decking it out with minimalistic and stylish furniture. We were greeted by the friendly family who run it and they provided detailed information on the town. This personal touch was great. The place was right in the centre of the town and the breakfast was excellent. It was also good to have a key for the front door so we didn’t have to ring the doorbell as we were in and out fairly frequently. The downsides was it was a little noisy at night time (the Riad is above a music shop and the local shops stay open late). The shower door was wooden and had open panels thus leaking into the room (it looked nice but not the most practical). We were in the top floor and the Wi-Fi reception was great. I would still recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a town centre place as maybe the rooms at the back of the Riad are more favourable.

In the market, but worlds apart
Just the kind of place we like to stay. Not glitzy but everything in good taste, clean, comfortable, friendly, and genuine. Home-cooked breakfast a real bonus. These folks "get" what a traveler who is looking for a safe, nice accommodation needs and wants. Highly recommend.
