Very nice quiet street. But you are surrounded by action and access to all your delights. By walking around you can get lost in the excitement and discover litlle gems just tucked away. Staying in the madina you get the real feel of the environment.The riad I stayed in was very nice clean.Very good Breakfast to get you started cheap and cheerful.Was not busy at this time. I would've stayed longer

I came to stay in Essouira for a night but ended up for 5 nights since it was a charming town and gnaoua festival was going on! This place is close to everywhere and has awesome and helpful people! The owner, Clemente, is such a cool guy and we ended up hanging out! If you come to Essouira this is the place you want to stay!

Rooftop Cafe made the trip
This riad was perfectly situated just mins from the main square. The staff went above and beyond to help with all our requests, and recommendations for tours, restaurants and places to shop, and the breakfast was the best we had throughout our trip in Morroco. The rooftop cafe was a delight, although up quite a number of stairs. Would stay here again.

Very beautiful riad, located in a nice area of old medina, walking distance to all the attractions (and the bus station). Breakfast was great. The owner was very kind and prompt in responses to all inquiries (and fluent in multiple languages). We had a great stay and will come back again.
