We stayed here for two nights using it as a base before finding something different. Having moved to somewhere else we realised how beautiful this place is. The breakfast is amazing. And Helene who served the breakfast is lovely. The basic room was a little cramped for two people and two suitcases but still very nicely decorated. I would definitely stay there again.

Huge shout out to Hamid and Zara! The kindest people on the planet! Always smiling and happy to help! Organised out trip to the dromedaries and horse rides at the Ranch Diabat, where we saw the most beautiful sunset! The King Suite overlooking the ocean was unique and full of character. Coming in and out of the Riad felt like home, with Hamid and Zara welcoming us every time! Their recommendations for local restaurants and real traditional experiences around the Medina were always in spot! We always knew where to go! This is definitely a must if you’re ever in Essaouira!!

Positioned within the charming labyrinth of Essaouira, Riad Bab Essaouira embodies the spirit of the city authentically in every way. The view from the rooftop is enlivening, the art and the vibe is unique but above all, the service was so good. Simo and his staff went well above and beyond to make, not only my stay at the accomodation very comfortable, they ensured my stay in the city was safe and enjoyable. Simo even accompanied me to the post office to ensure my errands were run smoothly. The team care deeply about their guests. Highly recommend.

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!
