Our stay there was really good. The breakfast was served in the terrace. The rooms were budget and big size with the terrace as well as four beds as described. Genuinely helpful staff suggested restaurants. The location was convenient, approx 10-15 minutes' walk from Essaouira Ramparts. The airport was 23 minutes drive away.

I had an amazing stay at a Riad in a great location. the rooftop area was fantastic, with both indoor and outdoor spaces to relax. the room was bright and funky, and the owner of the Riad was incredibly kind and helpful. the staff were friendly, although there were some language struggles at times. the WiFi was good, and the Riad was easy to find in the Medina.

I had a really nice time and wish I could have stayed longer.
