Inaccurate rating and description of property. The room and fittings tired and more befitting for backpackers on a hippie trail. Basic amenities missing, no power sockets or heating during this cold May.

We have stayed many times and love the place for its efficient and friendly staff and the original Moroccan decoration and style.

The property was too small for a decent Riad, the room was small and the shower was awful. dirty towels. Very disappointing.

Great location in the Heart of Essaouira.

Posted 9 Apr 2017
Pros: The room I asked for we got, it on the top floor near the roof terrace, with the room door open it makes a grat place in the early evening. to sit.
Cons: I hope it never changes, Its Morocco to me.
Location: We windsurf at beach 25 mins walk away. in the evening we wonder the busy madina and find one of the many small places to eat. and stroll the markets.
The Riad Al Madina is a great Moroccan hotel in the heart of a truly amazing place. From stepping out of the front door you are in the narrow paved streets of the Madina. This is the Third time I have stayed here and would return again.

A very good bargain.

Posted 13 May 2016
Pros: The balconies internal courtyard was beautiful with the fountains and flowers
Cons: Could have a snack bar or bar. The rooms could have an armchair and decent TV. Much more could be made of the Riad to a more commercial advantage.
Location: In the middle of the Medina - loads of shops restaurants nearby. The beach and the Museum are close. It really is an excellent position.
More shabby than shabby chic, but some staff lovely some could do with cheering up Their wi-fi is better than most and the hotel is also the centre of the Medina. Their restaurant is too expensive so eat out. The room really is only for sleeping in. My TV was old and had awful reception. If bored take a book. The chairs on the balconies, terraces could be cleaned of bird muck more frequently. However it has a charm that you won't forget.

Lovely staff. The central courtyard and roof terrace are what makes this such a pleasant place to stay light and airy. Rooms can be a little noisy, but staff will do their best to find the room which suits you best. I would not hesitate to come back.

Very nice

There is no WIFI in the room which is a bit inconvenient. But overall, it is a very lovely hotel and the decorations are pretty. We really enjoyed our time stayed there. If we go back to Essaouira, we will stay there again.
