The room was stylish, well equipped and very comfortable, with beds made and towels refreshed every day. There was wonderful artwork all around the Riad and several areas where you could sit, relax and appreciate the calm and ambience. The staff were very welcoming and it was a joy at breakfast every morning to hear laughter coming from the kitchen. The breakfast itself was wonderful - eggs, yoghurt, fruit, jams, bread, fresh orange juice - you could easily sit there for hours!

Wonderful Riad

Wonderful Riad with a lovey decoration and staff + owner. Very helpful all along the stay. We arrived late, but they received us with a warm Welcome. The breakfast on the roof terrace was outstanding and we enjoyed it very much. Great location

Perfect

The Riad is incredibly great, exceptional and with so much love and care by the staff as we could not have dreamed better. We were greeted with damp towels for the hands, tea, water and cake were served for welcome and every afternoon, the room with rose petals on the bed and even in the bathroom itself in the toilet. The breakfast was gigantic and on the roof terrace next to the loungers a towel and sun hat were lovingly laid out. The housekeeper fulfilled all wishes, if one had an additional one (for me Coca Cola). We stayed there for 3 nights and will come back!!! Thank you for so much service and love. Petra and Uwe

Vacation Emotion

Magnificent Riad in the heart of the Medina. It feels like home. The breakfast is a delight, the decoration magnificent and all the staff very attentive. We appreciated, upon our arrival, the good advice and places to see by the owner's son and his availability. It is certain that if we have the opportunity to return to Essaouira, we will book again at Riad Emotion.

12 out of 10 points!

At Riad Emotion, all expectations are exceeded. It is beautiful and tastefully decorated, with a lot of artistry and love. The staff is very friendly. But what makes this Riad so special are the details: Fresh flowers, candles in the evening guiding the way on the stairs, the offer to get tea as soon as you are on the wonderful rooftop terrace, selected music filling the breakfast room, fabric napkins for breakfast... The breakfast is very fine and high quality. The beds are very comfortable. And the Riad is an oasis of calm in the middle of the Medina. If I could, I would give 12 out of 10 points. We felt incredibly comfortable. Thank you very much!!

The Riad is a dream, we would book again immediately. The room and bathroom are very large and beautifully decorated. And every day fresh rose petals are spread in the room and bathroom! The owner and her team are incredibly friendly and available at all times. The breakfast is delicious and always fresh (freshly squeezed juice, fruit salad, homemade yogurt, homemade jams, eggs, whatever your heart desires) and something different every day. During the day, tea and cake are often offered again, and the rooftop terrace is wonderful. We can only recommend it!
