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.

El alojamiento bonito, tiene un restaurante donde se come muy bien y a buen precio, y dispone de habitaciones sencillas pero prácticas. Pero la limpieza de la habitación daba que desear. Las sabanas y toallas no se pasaban por lejía, estaban manchadas. No se barría o fregaba bajo la cama y la cantidad de polvo y pelusas que tenia el cabezal de la cama era de no haberlo limpiado en años. Si se centraran en la limpieza de las habitaciones el alojamiento mejoraría mucho.

Beau ryad mais décevant
Tres jolies chambres mais odeurs humidité gênantes Pour les massages très chers et vous pouvez trouver bien mieux pour beaucoup moins cher. Réservations massages oubliés ou non transmises....forfait non respecté...enfin le massage en lui même correct. Pour les chambres, aspirateur inconnu ....

À éviter on vous demande payer une taxe au départ
Le personnel a demandé une taxe à la fin de séjour de je ne sais pas quoi j'ai tellement honte d'offrir cette réservation à mes proches, j'ai payé cher par rapport au prix qu'on peut avoir sur place pour des Ryades du même niveau mais le couple n'a pas eu le petit déjeuner pour les deux jours de réservation la première fois parce que c'est trop tard à 5min près la deuxième fois c'était trop tôt, mais la taxe de je ne sais pas quoi c'est la mauvaise surprise Ryades A ÉVITER parce que le personnel n'est pas à la heureur ou peut être sélectif

Great location in the Heart of Essaouira.
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.

Das Hotel hat eine tollen Eingang mit einen sehr schönen Innenhof. Die Zimmer sind unterschiedlich und sind daher auch im Standard unterschiedlich. Du bekommst das was du zahlst. Mein Zimmer war einfach schon etwas abgewohnt der TV war kaputt. Aber zum Preis unter 50,- Euro in Ordnung. Das Frühstück war entsprechend aber gar nicht 4 Sterne Standard. Eher etwas wenig Auswahl und einfach. Qualität jetzt nicht sehr hochwertig.

A very good bargain.
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.

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.
