10/10
The shower was spacious and had strong water pressure, and the location was perfect. This was my first riad as a European, and I loved the thoughtful interior, with mirrors in just the right places. I was braced for the mold smell from the reviews, but while we were there it was pretty OK, with just a faint smell on the stairs sometimes. The staff regularly burned incense, which was lovely. There was dust or sand on the floor, but I think that's normal in Essaouira with the wind, and it didn't bother me. The bed and pillow cover seemed washed. The thick blankets you find all over Morocco made me wonder if they get washed for each guest. Ours didn't smell bad, but didn't smell freshly laundered either. The rooftop was fine for a cigarette, though the walls block most of the view. I loved staying here and will come back.

The manager was really helpful. A wonderful riad if you want to spend a few nights right in the middle of the medina.

It feels surprisingly comfortable from the moment you arrive, and I'd happily come back, especially at such a low price. The place is chic and clean, and feels much pricier than it is. There's a rooftop, fresh towels, and a bathroom shared with one or two other people. For value, it's hard to beat. The air can be a little damp, though I think that's common in such a central spot. The staff are great and share food and surf recommendations.

The Google Maps photos don't match what we found. The riad was filthy, with a strong sewage smell throughout, so there was no way to spend even one peaceful night. Spider webs were everywhere too. I had booked 3 nights but had to shorten my vacation because of the condition. Stay away!

The riad itself looks nice, and being deep in the medina made finding my way back at night an adventure. My room was humid and had just one window, which I couldn't open, though I don't know if that was specific to that room. I'd reserved a room two days ahead, but when I arrived it had been given to someone else, so I had to stay in the one I'd mentioned.
