The riad was booked for us by Darren who uses it as a base for his photography holidays. We went out on 4 days for the excellent cookery course run by his wife Naima and joined the photographers in the evenings and on a day trip to the countryside. The service was very good and the staff friendly. Our room... More

One could not ask for a more central location than Maison du Sud. It's located on a main "street" (no automobile traffic) in the medina, about a 4-minute walk from the port/ramparts entrance. Despite being right in the heart of the souk, we had a very quiet and pleasant stay. The common areas of this riad are a joy to... More

Couldn't have had a better experience from the moment we walked in the door. We didn't have a reservation, but they ushered us to a room that was so nice compared to our riad in Marrakech I had to make sure it was a standard double. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the only issue was the noise from... More

Great location and great service. Right in the middle of the Medina, very handy to the main square, restaurants and souks. Very easy to find as it's on a main street. The rooms were really simple, spacious and comfortable. Ventilation in the bathrooms is a bit of a problem, but this is due to the fact that it's traditional courtyard... More

We are a family of 5 (inc 3 kids aged 14, 12 and 9). We loved Essaouira and the location of this Riad which is charming and a very traditional old-fashioned Riad. The service was OK and the rooms were a bit cold (we were there in late December so the nights can be cold). The WiFi reception does not... More

I loved this place. We are normally in the backpacker category but wanted something a bit nicer for one night. After a nit of bargaining, we got the price a little bit lower and were so happy about it. The man whi runs it is very very nice. The palce is so beautifully decorated and so clean. The room was...

Beautifully authentic, spacious rooms, and great value (so long as you're not expecting TV's or the like), I'd recommend this Riad to anyone wanting to experience Moroccan hospitality during their stay in Essouira. More

My parter and I stayed here for 3 nights and we both thought that the accomodation was OK but left a little to be desired. Postitives first: we both thought that the room was nice and spacious and the bed was very comfortable. Despite being on the main street through the medina, the room was pretty quiet (until the 5am... More

The service was exceptional. They arranged for a tour guide and four wheeling adventure for us that all worked out wonderfully. The rooms were spacious. It would be nice if the Wifi could be accessed in your rooms and not just in the lobby. I would definitely go back! More

My fiance, girlfriend and I stayed here for three days in Spring - were provided a rooftop one bedroom riad suite with separate living room and it was absolutely wonderful. We had complete command of the rooftop louging area and were able to watch the sites of the Medina while enjoying our cocktails. The hotel proprietor was gracious and accommodating... More
