    The breakfasts at this place were always different and you could enjoy them on the terrace. Plus, the hotel is conveniently located, just a 10-15 minute walk from the Ramparts 👍.

    Incredibly beautiful hotel in a good position very close to everything. A great selection of food at breakfast like slices of fresh bread, pastries, pancakes, yogurt, and eggs. Location next to Riad Dar Abi as well as anywhere else inside the medina. For tea or coffee visit Caravane Cafe nearby...

    I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The room was beautifully decorated with Moroccan rugs and art. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was spacious. The hotel facilities were great, especially the lovely roof terrace where I enjoyed a delicious breakfast every morning. The location was perfect, close to the market, restaurants, and local buses. The staff, especially Fatima, were incredibly welcoming and helpful, making my stay even more enjoyable.

    Riad Dar Abi is a little gem in the medina - very close to everything. The rooms are clean and comfortable - with a spacious bathroom. The warm welcome from Fatima - the host - made us feel at home. She offered us mint tea on arrival and took the time to share local insights and tips for exploring the area. The breakfast - prepared by Fatima - was delicious and kept us going all day. It's the perfect place to stay for a truly authentic experience in Essaouira.

    Would be happy to recommend.

    The riad had a shared lounge and terrace which were soooooo convenient. The free WiFi was an absolute luxury. And don't get me started on the continental breakfast, it was like a food marathon!

    I hated the fact that I didn't have enough time to stay longer at this amazing riad. Ugh, so frustrating!

    We had a wonderful stay at this riad. The location in the heart of the Medina was perfect for exploring the town. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully furnished. The breakfast provided was one of the best we had during our Moroccan holiday. The terrace offered stunning views. The hostess, Fatima, was incredibly kind and helpful, going above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The riad's architecture was simple yet well-designed. a fantastic experience.

    Would recommend this hotel.

    Located in the heart of the bustling Medina, this riad offers a convenient base to explore the vibrant surroundings. From here, you can easily walk to various attractions, such as the beach and the bus station. the friendly host, Fatima, provides excellent recommendations for nearby restaurants and activities. the spacious rooms are well-furnished, clean, and decorated with attention to detail. In the morning, enjoy a delicious breakfast on the rooftop terrace with stunning views.

    The only drawback is that the room does not have air conditioning or a fan, which can be uncomfortable on hotter days.
