We had a great stay at Riad Emotion. The location is perfect for exploring the medina, with the riad itself then providing an oasis of calm afterwards, with lots of lovely spots to relax and read in. The women who work there are lovely and the owners were very helpful in providing recommendations for places to go and making reservations for us. We would definitely stay again!

Amazing riad in a quiet neighborhood! It is located in a walking distance both to the beach and the city centre, inside the historic medina. Rooms are beautifully decorated with attention to detail. There is a fireplace in the room which they light whenever you want. Beds are really confortable. Breakfast is perfect: very generous and complete with sweet and salty options, orange juice and fresh fruit. Staff of the hotel are very helpful and nice, with very good recommendations. I totally recommend staying here!

Perfect location close to the walls of the Medina, but also close to "all the action". Great view over the ocean and beach. Wonderful terrace for breakfast and chilling. The interior was cool, felt authentic. The staff was wonderful and very helpful. We had the best breakfasts of our Morocco trip here, with some fruit (we had been longing for it in other places before this!!). The room is spacious enough, and with ocean view.

The room was large and very grand. The Riad was beautiful and the food was really good. The position could not have been better, a very short walk to the beach, port and medina.

We had an absolutely wonderful time at this hotel! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The ambiance is elegant and beautifully reflects the rich Moroccan culture, with incredible attention to detail in every aspect. A special thank you to the manager, Youssef whose professionalism, kindness, and attentiveness made our stay even more enjoyable. In addition, the entire staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Whether at the front desk, the restaurant, or housekeeping, every team member greeted us with a smile and ensured that we felt at home. Their hospitality made all the difference in our experience. The food was also fantastic—breakfast was delicious and included traditional Moroccan pancakes, fresh juice, and the best mint tea! Overall, this hotel not only provides a beautiful and comfortable stay but also has a team that genuinely cares about its guests and delivers outstanding service. We will definitely return in the futur!
