After reading some of the reviews before staying at this hotel I have to say I'm not surprised. I totally agree with the comments that this is not a true 5 star hotel at all. The positives are the location, the pool area and the rooms (to an extent). From one way its only a short walk to the medina and from the other it's a short walk to the beach bars. The pool area is well maintained and very attracting. The rooms are a good size with comfy bed and powerful shower and they are very clean. However, we started off by having to change rooms as the room we were first given had a chipped bath - all the paint had come up off the bottom of the bath so it was unusable, the staff solved this pretty quickly by offering us a room of the same standard one floor above. Nevertheless, I find it shocking that a 5 star hotel would not maintain their rooms in the first place. We found the cleaning staff and concierges very friendly. Some of the breakfast staff and beach staff, less so. One day we sat on the beach beds and felt looked down on and were not treated as well as some of the other guests. This really put us off and prevented us using this area again. Not sure if this is because we are a younger/mixed couple? Overall, the hotel is lacking in a lot of areas and the Accor group need to look into this. I would definitely visit Essaouira again but would probably rent an apartment since the beach and medina have so many options anyway!

Jann & Jo stayed in Riad Al Madina September. A wonderful, traditional Moroccan Riad that is welcoming, comfortable and has really lovely, helpful staff. Located within the Medina, the surrounding streets are charming and interesting, with so much to see and do all the time. There is a huge choice places to eat or get refreshments very close by, from where you can watch life in Essaouria. We were happy with our rooms, which were clean, comfortable and interesting. We enjoyed our breakfasts every day and had a couple of delicious evening meals there too; as well as sometimes enjoying a glass of wine while looking at the night sky from the open central courtyard. A big thanks to all the staff who we will never forget for being so friendly, helpful and efficient – a great team! A special thanks to two of the catering team, Zach and Yosef, who were so kind and caring during the hours following the earthquake. Highly recommend this Riad!

I spent a couple of nights with my wife after doing a country tour. So, the trip was to relax. The place itself and owner were very polite, breakfast was great. But there is always a but. When I booked, the main thing was parking. The description showed parking and that is incorrect. You have to park outside the medina and pay for it (US$5-7/night), then you need to hire a cart person to take your luggage into the hotel (unless you don't kind carrying yourself) About US$2. Since the place was to sleep and relax for a couple night, unfortunately the open floor design spread any sound from the bottom floor to the entire bldg, so if someone wakes up at 6am, for sure you will wake up as well. The site shows handicap accessible. I am not sure if there are rooms on the bottom floor, but you need to climb stairs for the other rooms, no elevator, so, not sure about accessibility. So, again, great location, wife (decorator) loved the decoration, but in my case, I just wanted to sleep in and rests after 2 weeks driving and the noise in the AM unfortunately did not help much. It is a small place so, if you have a family gathering and can occupy the 7-8 rooms, you will love it.

Arrived Thursday 6th July and was given by Omar the choice of 2 rooms both seemed great to me but we chose room 6 that was very Moroccan with large windows looking into the unique centre of the property. Omar along with Mango and the other staff were so helpful always available whether at breakfast , to suggest a Hammam, directions to a restaurant or anything ! The Riad was located close to the city walls from where at sunset you get the most amazing views and it is very well located in the Medina to all the hustle and bustle and only 10 mins away from the outside gates and any taxis needed to travel elsewhere. We loved our stay and would most definitely come again and we loved Essaouira

In a good local hotel, wake up in the morning by the seagull, breakfast to the restaurant on the top floor, facing the sea, the waves rolling, the seagulls coiled, the sun is shining, it is difficult to describe the beauty.

Second stay at this lovely hotel, specious rooms, nice room view overlooking the ocean, amazing breakfast, will book again

Very pleasant riad, with a refined, bright decor, in the blues, as I like! We were on the 3rd floor, with direct exit to the terrace, rather small room, but very pleasant, cozy bedding, impeccable bathroom with easy-to-regulate shower (it's not always easy) Hearty breakfast with real juices squeezed orange or tangerine. Frédérique, the director and the staff are very welcoming, attentive and give very good advice Access is easy, very close to the Bab Chbanat, the beach, with a beautiful promenade is very close
