Wonderful stay! We absolutely loved this place. This was our fifth trip to Morocco, we’ve stayed at some great riads, but this was by far our favorite. Looking forward to returning

Riad Emotion

This Road is a gem. Absolutely beautiful and tastefully decorated. The staff and owner are delightful and extremely helpful. The Riad has steps to all the rooms as is typical and a terrace where breakfast is served. The breakfast is delicious with fresh bread, eggs, pastries and homemade preserves.

Pleasant surprise

We arrived with no expectations, and with no knowledge of the town. We were pleasantly surprised by both. The town is a gem, windy and welcoming, and offers delicious seafood. The Riad Emotion was splendid, hosts Phillipe and his wife were super-generous, and the staff served exquisite breakfasts on the the rooftop terrace. The interior is tasteful, and our room was perfect.
Kåre, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Un riad plein d’âme, niché au cœur de la médina. Accueil chaleureux, décor raffiné, silence apaisant… On s’y sent attendu, sans jamais être dérangé. Le vent sur la terrasse, les parfums du patio, le chant discret du lieu : tout invite à ralentir, à écouter . Merci à Gisèle, Philippe et son équipe pour ce mémorable séjour !

Fantástica opción de alojamiento en Essaouira! Frederic, el dueño del Riad es súper atento y pendiente de los huéspedes, ofreciendo recomendaciones. El desayuno es riquísimo y variado y se toma en la terraza del Riad. Ubicación muy céntrica en la Medina. Totalmente recomendable.

Ein sehr herzlichen Empfang durch Philipp. Er hat uns super gute Restaurants empfohlen. Dieses Riad ist sehr geschmacksvoll eingerichtet mit vielen kleinen Details. Das Frühstück war liebevoll serviert worden mit top Produkte. Wichtig man kann nicht vor das Riad fahren. Vor den Stadtmauern kann man jedoch ein Gepäckträger für 20 DH nehmen, der auch weiss wo das Riad ist und ihm dann folgen.

Fuimos a varias Riad en Marruecos todos muy buenas , pero esta fue la mejor de todas atendida por sus propietarios los cuales son muy cordiales y siempre están atentos para ayudar al turista con sus planes de viaje y explicando los sitios turísticos de la ciudad, son una pareja de franceses muy cordiales, las habitaciones son muy cómodas, aseadas y confortables, la ubicación es la mejor, el desayuno es muy completo. No duden en escoger esta Riad en sus viajes a essouira, la pasarán muy bien

4/10 Fair

Did not live up to other riads in my experience. One consideration is they use an extremely strong cleaning product that made my stomach turn. I've never had issues with chemical cleaners before. Internet is at times unusable. Location is as good as any if you like to be central and near most everything. Breakfast is very solid for a hotel, but again falls behind other riads.

8/10 Very good

Wunderschönes und geschmackvoll eingerichtetes Haus, sehr höfliches und freundliches Personal, tolles Frühstück, tolle Küchlein und sehr viel Liebe fürs Details. Gute Lage mitten in der Medina, perfekt. Leider ist das Haus durch ein nachträgliches aufgesetztes Glasdach über dem Innenhof sehr schlecht durchlüftet, es riecht wie im Schwimmbad immZimmer und alle Sachen werden Klamm, das ist sehr schade und hat uns gestört.

Spitzenunterkunft in Essaouira

Das Riad Emotion in Essaouira hat uns ausgezeichnet gefallen. Trotz der sehr zentralen Lage ist es ruhig. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker und reichlich. Die Restaurantempfehlungen von Gisèle haben sich als vorzüglich erwiesen.

Very beautiful and centrally located Riad - Philip the host was friendly and helpful, provided us with great restaurant recommendations and offered to help contact businesses to make appointments for Hammam's and make dinner reservations. Our bus to Casablanca was scheduled for the afternoon, after check out time and they were gracious enough to let us keep our bags at the Riad while we explored before our bus. Delicious breakfast, beautiful rooms - an all around wonderful experience.

Familiäres Hotel in zentraler Lage

Phillipe, Gisele und ihr Team sind sehr herzliche und unaufdringliche Gastgeber. Das Zimmer war sehr schön und das Frühstück ausgesprochen gut. Die Lage ist sehr zentral aber es ist auch sehr ruhig. Kann das Haus uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.
