This hotel was absolutely amazing. The interior and decor were outstanding. The hotel was in a great location in the medina city centre and 5 mins from the beach. There was a rooftop view of the city and the beach which i loved and spent a lot of time. The staff were so friendly and service was outstanding. The hotel was very beautiful and so clean. The breakfast was delicious and such a great variety. I would definitely come back again and will be a regular customer.

These apartments are completely new. Well furnished, the hosts Said and his family are wonderful people and always took great care of us. We were a big group, we rented almost all their apartments and stayed for a week. The location is outside the city center (the medina), we had a few people stay there as we didnt fit all in these apartments, and here it was much better. The medina hotels all had little light and humidity. The insonorization could be a little better, but I think for Essaouira this was a top stay.

We’ve just had a lovely stay at Riad Zahra. Staff were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was delicious and we had dinner at their restaurant a couple of times which was also amazing. The location was perfect for us, especially with the surf school next door. We’d love to back again! Thank you for a great stay 😊
