What Guests Say About Their Stay

Riad Emotion was the best place that we stayed during a 12 day Moroccan excursion. You really felt taken care of and the staff, especially Albert, treated us like family and it felt homey. Only there for 2 nights but wished we could have stayed longer. Rooms were great and unique due to the classic Riad architecture which has a central courtyard that is open to the roof. Very exotic and unique. Each morning a full and fresh breakfast was made to order in the sunshine of the rooftop terrace. Anything we needed was provided and Albert gave us great recommendations for restaurants and a hammam massage. Wonderful stay and we would love to stay there again.

Absolutely perfect, from start to finish!
Gorgeous Riad in a great location, owned by Albert who was personable, professional and a wealth of knowledge on both the building and Essaouria. Everything is within walking distance, from the souks to the beach, it’s just a casual stroll away. Lots of restaurants in the area to choose from.
The Riad is beautiful with gorgeous traditional furnishings, the finer details are all taken care of!
Bed linen and towels refreshed everyday with a sprinkling of rose petals. The room was perfect in every way.
The real highlight of Riad Emotion were the breakfasts. Freshly squeezed orange, fresh yoghurt, preserves, fresh coffee, pastries, choice of eggs, the list is endless! The scrambled eggs were outstanding!
On our last day the sun was shining, the terrace was set out beautifully for the guests breakfasts.
The girls who prepare this are Hayatt and Samira, they pay so much attention to detail, they truly are the stars of the Riad.
We so enjoyed our stay at Riad Emotion, we arrived as guests and left as family! Thank you Albert and the team, we can highly recommend a stay at Riad Emotion, we will be back!

This Riad was lovely! The owners very accommodating and spent at least 30 minutes at checking giving recommendations for restaurants and places to go on a map-was very helpful. Our room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast on the rooftop was delicious and plentiful. Highly recommend - this Riad is in an excellent location in the Medina as well.

Absolutely! Here’s a beautifully written review you can use:
⸻
From the moment I arrived, I knew this riad was something truly special. The bedding was absolutely outstanding — luxurious, soft, and incredibly comfortable. I slept better here than I have in a long time!
Every detail throughout the riad reflects care and thoughtfulness. The attention to detail in the décor, the cleanliness, and the overall ambiance created such a warm and elegant atmosphere.
The staff were simply incredible — attentive, kind, and genuinely welcoming. They went above and beyond to make my stay perfect, always with a smile.
And the breakfast… wow! Freshly squeezed orange juice, perfectly prepared eggs, delicious banana bread, homemade jams, and so many other fresh, delightful options. Each morning felt like a feast made with love.
I truly can’t say enough about how amazing this place is. It exceeded all my expectations, and I will absolutely stay here every time I travel. Highly, highly recommended!

What a real gem this is! From the moment we stepped inside into the tastefully decorated, beautifully perfumed interior we were made to feel welcome. Throughout our 3-night stay, Giselle & Philippe were always on hand to advise and ensure the smooth running of the riad, staffed by the most delightful team. A delicious daily breakfast with homemade local delicacies was served on the terrace. The bedroom provided every comfort, lovely linen, great shower, spotlessly clean with rose petals scattered daily and homemade biscuits provided. We didn't want to leave and have absolutely no hesitation in highly recommending this riad for an unforgettable stay.

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.

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.

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.
