Top Medina Hotel Reviews

Riad Chbanate

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful spot right in the boarder of the Medina. So about 5-15 min walk anywhere. Beds were super comfortable and rooms were spacious. Loved the robes and bathtub in my room. Only thing it doesn’t have is pool or gym :) but I wasn’t expecting that. Breakfast was yummy. Pastries. Eggs of choice. Yogurt. Fruit bowl etc."

Salut Maroc Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Colorful hotel, very well located in the Medina in Essaouira. Nicely-decorated, clean rooms. Good breakfast in the terrace with great views of the ocean, also great area to watch the sunset. The only cons were, the tub in the bathroom, although nice decorative touch, it wasn't all that comfortable to shower and all the people, outsiders to the hotel, taking instagram pictures because the hotel is really beautiful. The greatest thing of this hotel were the people who run it, specially Rashida who was such a great host. All the staff were kind, helpful and very warm."

Riad Mimouna

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful experience at Riad Mimouna! The hotel is absolutely beautiful, with a charming traditional Moroccan atmosphere and stunning views. The location is perfect for exploring Essaouira, and everything felt peaceful and welcoming. The staff were incredibly kind, helpful, and attentive throughout our stay. The food was delicious, and the overall service made us feel very comfortable and well taken care of. A special mention for the beautiful rooftop views — it was such a lovely place to relax and enjoy the atmosphere of Essaouira. We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend Riad Mimouna to anyone visiting Essaouira. We would happily stay here again! ❤️"

Ryad Watier

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I had a very relaxed and pleasurable stay at Riad Watier. The staff (Fatiha, Hayat, and Nusha) were extraordinarily helpful and attended to our every wish. The Riad is quiet, which was very nourishing to our souls. Also, Essaouira is less touristy than other Moroccan destinations, which makes making a choice for a relaxed vacation ideal. I would highly recommend Riad Watier!"
