We spent 10 days in Morocco, Essaouira was the last point of our trip and we were lucky to choose this very nice ryad! Comparing to our previous hotels in medina, Zelaka is very easy to find. Stephane met us like his friends. The amtosphere was very pleasant and all accomodations done with a lot of care. The second day... More

Riad just inside the medina, but in a quiet part, near one of the gates. The riad is very light inside, has nice rooms and has a terrace on the roof. The breakfast is good with fresh juice. I would recommend this riad to friends!

I stayed here for three nights with my boyfriend. As soon as we entered we were taken care of and nothing was too much trouble. Stephan even walked us to some local restaurants (which were lovely) to show us where we could go for lunch as we were starving. The riad is beautiful and our room was lovely. The riad... More

I had the best time ever at Riad Zelaka. From the moment you enter, you feel the positive energy all over the place. A beautiful, cozy, warm place, very close from everything. Rooms are all so beautiful and clean that it's hard to choose which one to take. Laure and Hasna, the riad team, are extremely friendly, helpful and always... More

My girlfriend and I found Riad Zelaka through tripadvisor and chose to stay there because it looked great and had wonderful reviews. As soon as we arrived we knew we had made the right decision. The Riad was easily found - it was a short walk from from the enterance to Essaouira's Medina (very near to the supratours bus station... More

A riad not advertised in the Rough Guide and found on trip advisor. We had three days in Essaouria and were very pleased with our stay in Riad Zelaka. Location wise - perfect! Very easy to find from the Supratours bus station if you have a simple street plan of the Medina. The Medina in small and so everywhere is... More

I spent a great time at Riad Zelaka with its very nice team, Laure, Hasna and Amina. They are very friendly and always ready to help. Very good food and rooms are comfortable. It is right in the Medina close to Bab Marrakech, so it's very close to everything. If you come to Essaouira, that is the place to stay!

We booked our 5 nights through booking.com knowing it could have been a risk but it was totally not! The position is great (2 minutes by a car parking outside the medina where you'll find moroccans ready to help with luggages with their small charettes for few coins and at less than 10 minutes from the centre of the medina....
