Our stay at Madada Mogador in Essaouira was nothing short of magical. This charming boutique hotel perfectly captures the spirit of the city, offering a unique blend of coastal serenity, refined elegance, and heartfelt hospitality. Traveling with two young children, we were impressed by how effortlessly the team ensured our stay was both comfortable and memorable. A Warm Welcome for Families: From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and genuine care. The staff at Madada Mogador went above and beyond to make us feel at home, paying special attention to my children with thoughtful gestures like coloring books and local treats. Their friendliness and attentiveness made all of us feel instantly at ease. Elegant Accommodations with a Family Touch: Our room was an oasis of comfort, blending minimalist elegance with Moroccan charm. It was spacious enough for our family, with a cozy seating area where the kids could relax after a day of exploration. The highlight was the private terrace overlooking the ocean—a breathtaking view that we enjoyed together as a family every evening. A Culinary Delight: Breakfast at Madada Mogador was a feast for the senses, served on a stunning rooftop terrace with panoramic views of the sea and medina. The fresh pastries, local jams, and perfectly brewed coffee were a treat for us, while the staff thoughtfully prepared child-friendly options for my little ones. Dining here felt like a cherished family ritual. Perfectly Located for Exploration: The hotel’s location is unbeatable—right at the edge of the medina and steps away from Essaouira’s iconic beach. This made it easy to explore the vibrant streets, markets, and cultural landmarks while being close enough to return for a midday rest. The staff also recommended family-friendly activities, such as camel rides on the beach and visits to local artisan workshops, which delighted my children.

I hope the owners recognize the amazing value of their staff. The riad is lovely, and the books and cats make it extra special, but the staff are the true treasures here. A special shout out to Hayat who exudes kindness and compassion.

the location is just a few steps from the main entrance to the medina. The whole place is spacious, I mean *really* spacious! Big inner courtyard with huge palms in it, big rooftop where you can enjoy breakfast with seaview and also the room we had was 30m2 and was very stylish decorated! The staff is super friendly and is doing everything that you enjoy your stay. We were there in early December and got a super deal, worth every penny!
