I stayed for consecutive nights and it was well cleaned and comfortable. The location was good and l was able to return to the hotel and use the bathroom many times during our stay. The staff always responded with a smile and I think it is a wonderful riad.

Riad Malaïka is in an excellent location, a peaceful haven within walking distance of everywhere. Our hosts Abdullah and Hakim were knowledgeable, friendly and professional, warmly welcoming us and facilitating our stay, including any questions we had. The included breakfast varied every day, and each was amazing. We arranged washing clothes without hassle (thank you Abdullah), and a porter's assistance with our bags to the Supratours bus terminal at a reasonable rate of 40 dh (thanks Hakim). The room was cosy, but elegant, with towels/sheets/complementary water replenished daily. The rooftop is a gorgeous place to relax. As others mention, the food is lovely, and we enjoyed our dinner. Thank you for the lovely stay!

Staff were so helpful, happy to organise dinner reservations and activities for us. We were also given a room upgrade when we checked in. Breakfast was delicious and it was such a treat to be able to sit on the rooftop terrace to eat. We had such a lovely stay and would definitely come back!

Very nice place with super friendly staff. They have an amazing cat. Rooms are nice, a bit humid, but with a strong and hot shower that we loved. The breakfast was one of the best we had in our journey. Recommended!

Everything! Sofitel has not one flaw. Yousra and Ines especially made our stay the most comfortable it possibly could be. They have been so helpful and really made Sofitel shine as much as it already does. Everything from the atmosphere, the ambience the design and the staff is 5 star quality. Me and my sister have fallen in love and will definitely be back it truly is the best place in Essaouira. Thankyou so much to all the staff, and personal thanks to Yousra and Ines. We will be seeing you again at sofitel! 🙏🙏❤️

Everything! The room, number 31, was a fantastic loft (bed over the bathroom), simplistically designed, and elegant. The staff was smiley, welcoming, and helpful. The courtyard is gorgeous, and judging by the busy evenings, the restaurant serves good food. The location was a short walk to the harbor, but on a more calm but centralized street. The price was fantastic for what we got. I could live there.

Didier and Bernadette were very friendly and attentive hosts. The garden and pool areas are very tranquil and the hammam is lovely. The villa has interesting and very tasteful Africa-themed decor. Villa Daba is an oasis of peace and tranquility and we left feeling rested and restored.

I loved the ocean front view and the beautiful design of the room with the colored tiles, the layout, and the beautiful windows. The staff at the Dar Ayour were very nice and made us feel welcome. The fried egg, coffee, and freshly squeezed orange juice at breakfast were so delicious.

We stayed 2 nights at this lovely and well-designed RIAD. Located in the heart of the Médina and very close to the beach. Very clean and spacious rooms (and bathrooms) and superb breakfast & staff. Youssef, the manager, was a great assistance in everything we asked for as arranging laundry, transportation & recommending dinner spots.
