The Riad is absolutely beautiful. It is really easy to find, and ideally located to explore the medina. Everything about our stay was excellent. The room was really comfortable, the breakfast was lovely and we also had dinner there one evening which I would highly recommend. Unfortunately my son was unwell during our stay (from some seafood from elsewhere!) - the gentleman at the Riad was so helpful! He was very sick during the night meaning all of our bedding needed taking off, he came and helped me get sorted and quickly got new bedsheets sorted so we could get back to bed. I was so grateful, and the staff showed genuine concern, checking in and making some simple meals for him such as a bowl of rice to help his stomach settle again. Without all of this the stay was already exceptional but the care on top of the hospitality was fantastic.

This very old house has been beautifully restored by its owners while keeping an ambience of its historic past The welcome and care we received from the ever present manageress Hyatt and her staff could not have been better. The roof top breakfasts were delicious and the adjoining sun lounge was the perfect spot to relax An amazing location set in a quiet alley with a minute’s walk to the Main Street of the Medina It was difficult to leave and if we do get the opportunity to return to Essaouira we definitely will stay in Ryan Watier

Lovely location, interior design, and staff were very hospitable. Given how busy the streets are outside, this felt like an oasis given how quiet it was.
