Beautiful riad, we stayed in the budget room which was absolutely perfect- did not feel “budget” in any way, just great value for money. The riad is in a central location, easy to walk to anywhere. Really lovely staff, always on hand to help.

Riad Babette is a stunning, family-run gem in the heart of Essaouira’s medina. Said, the owner, is incredibly kind and welcoming, helping us with anything we needed. The riad has been recently renovated with impeccable taste and offers all the modern comforts you could ask for. The rooftop terrace boasts a breathtaking view, but another real highlight is the breakfast. The lady who prepares it is truly a chef – we had the best msemen and omelette of our entire trip through Morocco. What more can I say? I wish this hardworking family all the success they deserve, as their talent is undeniable! It’s a shame we only stayed one night, but in shā' Allah we’ll be back soon!

From the moment we entered the riad, we were surprised by the tasteful way it has been renovated and decorated. The receptionist, a young local woman, gave us a map and explained the best places to visit and the best gastronomic spots in Essaouira. Our room for 3 people was clean, spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was very nice, and it combined local dishes (freshly cooked) with more european continental food The location is ideal, on a calm alley on the side of one of the most central and busy streets.

    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!
