El desayuno muy rico, la atención inmejorable y la ubicación perfecta para conocer Essaouira.

No hay buena ventilación, ni tampoco aire acondicionado; y si te pilla una época de mucho calor, es regular.

6.0

the rooftop is amazing and the view during the breakfast is something people will remember from the trip

the facility clearly states it has a parking included, but it has NO PARKING. and there is even no way to reach the place by the car so technically neither this nor any other close riad has an ability to have a parking. the staff was very impolite when asked about parking, very unprofessional

Our stay was great from start to finish. The staff were polite, attentive, and always willing to assist us. The accommodation was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We truly appreciated the excellent service and warm atmosphere. We would happily recommend this place to anyone and hope to visit again in the future.

Le lieu, très beau L’emplacement, parfait, dans la médina, proche de tout, y compris de la plage. Le personnel, très disponible et souriant La chambre, spacieuse et calme La terrasse, très belle vue. Un endroit où je serais bien restée plus longtemps

Le prix? Mais ça le vaut

Très beau riad mais il y a quelques défauts.

8.0

La gentillesse et le tres bon acceuil de la personne au bureau. Je la remercie infiniment. La propreté et la beauté des lieux, le lit confortable, l'emplacement idéal dans la médina. La gentillesse du veilleur de nuit.

La dame du petit déjeuner (il y en a 2. Une est gentille et l'autre beaucoup moins.: elle n'est pas souriante et m'a mis mal à l'aise. On dirait qu'elle aime etre ici ou servir les gens. Je dis peut-être parce que c'est vraiment l'impression que j'ai. C'est dommage ca gâche l'expérience du riad de bon matin LE petit déjeuner : je le trouve très léger. Ça manque beaucoup de générosité dans les quantités surtout pour l'omelette (1 oeuf) et le pain. J'ai du réclamé du pain supplémentaire. L'idée du petit déjeuner au rooftop c'est une bonne idée mais il faut mettre en place des parasol. Tout le monde n'a pas envie de déjeuner au soleil. Quelques défauts qui gâche malheureusement l'expérience dans ce riad.
