We stayed here for 3 nights in early March and had a very pleasant stay. The riad is located in the centre of the old town but in a quiet position with plenty of local restaurants and shops, etc., and with all the attractions of the town of Essaouira itself, within a 10 minute walk. The bedrooms are laid out... More

Our stay at this hotel was great. The Riad is very clean, heaten(!) and the staff friendly. Essaouira is a beautiful little town, and this Riad reflects it perfectly. Mainly the breakfast on the rooftop was great! Unfortunately we stayed only one night.

Well situated in Essaouira close to all the restaurants and shops the Riad has a good ambience and is quite attractive. However we did not have a great experience when we stayed there.. The first bedroom we stayed in was hot and very air less at night and we found it difficult to sleep in. I suspect in the Summer... More

When you enter the riad you receive a very welcoming and homely feel. There are fresh flowers everywhere and a big bottle of water and mini chocolate sweets in the room. The ground floor is tastefully decorated. Free wireless Internet was accessible from the room .Big breakfast is serve on the roof in nice Moroccan Dishes. The owner is very... More

One of the best things about staying at this Riad was that we were bumped up from our room to the best room in the house. It came as a beautiful surprise and we were so pleased - thank you so much! Apart from that, the riad itself is beautiful and charming. The place is decorated with vintage posters, the... More

We found very friendly personnel upon arrival, though quite late in the evening. They gave us good advice for nearby places, including restaurants, and we have used it. We extended our stay from one to 2 nights, and we had to change rooms, but it wasn't much of a trouble. The beautiful terrace on top of the riad is to... More

Very well located, right in the heart of the medina with everything within a stones throw but fortunately not directly outside the window. Having said that though the noise from within the riad travels incredibly well and depending on the courtesy of your neighbors it has full potential for disturbed nights sleep. The rooms certainly lacked the charm of other... More

Enjoyed my stay at Riad Al Zahia thoroughly. It is in a great location in a wonderful city. Was made to feel very welcome by everybody and would describe the hotel as quite arty. It would be a wonderful location to relax for a few days. The rooms were simple but had everything that you would need. Not the best... More
