Riad Sidi Magdoul

Lovely riad accommodation in a passageway just off one of the main streets in the medina at Essaouira. Breakfast in the central atrium was a lovely way to start the day. A relaxing place to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the medina. Room was compact with two single beds but was an authentic road experience.

It was perfect! The riad was in a perfect location, it was in the centre of the medina with everything so close by. The room was clean and had all the amenities needed. The breakfast was great and the staff were responsive - Rita was brill! The riad itself was gorgeous, with a lovely rooftop and a great lounge area. We got some great restaurant recommendations from staff too. I definitely will be coming back to this beautiful riad and Essaouira ❤️

Nice friendly staff

Easy to find. Cool clean and fresh. Friendly staff. Everything was perfect

First of all, we were supposed to stay at the Riad , once we got there, we were told that the room we reserved they are doing construction on it , we were given an apartment outside of the Riad in a scary neighborhood, the apartment sheets , blankets and pillows so stinky! When we ask the lady that we don’t want to stay here , she simply responds with you can cancel if you want, on the top of that , they asked us to pay fee that it’s called a property taxes cash , which it’s already paid in the beginning that I have it in the confirmation invoice! They are scammers, not honest, they zero customer service ( not recommended at all )

Amazing location. Comfy beds. Friendly staff. Good value for money

Clean, calm, quiet. Very pleasant accommodation.

Clean, quiet, and friendly staff.

Excellent location, clean, friendly staff, nice rooms. Breakfast is included. We got it for an extremely low price, which made it a superbe deal. Located directly in a small alley off one of the main streets in the Medina. The alley looked dark but don’t get fooled, the Riad is lovely. There is a roof terras with good to catch some sun. No view though. Within the Medina you go by door and there are steep stairs so not great if you travel with a bulky suitcase. Better with a backpack only. Only the shower was not warm consistently in our room on second floor. Otherwise highly recommend for the prize.

Very conveniently located. The rooms are very nice. The property is been renovated. Geeat bang for the buck You cant beat the price. The ownersbare on site.

Location

We arrived early so our room wasn't ready. We did check in a drop the bags. When we went to collect the bags there was a whole family at the reception ( the owners i guess) and the french man wouldn't even get up from the couch the get the bags as he was lying down watching tv. After making some gestures he did. We were never informed about breakfast so we paid for breakfast outside the premises ( my bad for not checking my booking but I would have expected to be informed about at the check in). We were on the first floor and at night it got so loud as people was chatting in the reception until about 11 and some others coming and going. The lack of a water fountain makes the riad quite noisy. But overall is a good place to stay, clean and cute room and very well located.

Very friendly and helpful staff who speak good English. The room was very clean. Its an amazing location; very central.

Good central place in medinah. Room slightly small with lack of storage space. Smell of damp from the bathroom, which could use some maintenance. Good breakfast.

Convenient and a nice receptionist/host. Cheapish. However, room was dilapidated, small and smelt a bit damp. Don't pay for a superior room, they all seem basic and small, with the possible exception of the 6 bed room which I didn't see. Not a room to sit in and enjoy: bed, table, no space or view. Functional at best. Floor was clean but fixtures (shelf, taps, toilet seat) all run down, scratched and stained. Breakfast VERY basic. Quick, cheap sleep maybe, but it's not a place to enjoy in itself.

The hosts were very friendly but we were disappointed that there was no daily housekeeping as it stated . We got 3 towels and half a toilet roll when we arrived on Wednesday and no none came near our room before we left on Saturday

Very nice place to stay, good location and the hosts (french couple) extremely friendly and helpful. On our last day we needed to catch an early bus, and would have missed breakfast but the owner was nice enough to have breakfast served earlier for us. That was much appreciated before our long journey on the bus.

It was a very simple riad. The beds were clean and the staff was nice and helpful. Shower was a tad on the small side and wasn’t really powerful and the first day we had no hot water. It was fine for our stay though. The beds were clean and fairly comfortable. The room seemed a bit dusty but it was otherwise clean

Well located, bang in the centre of Essaouira medina, but quiet, in a side street. Fairly simple and a bit dark room, but if you plan to spend most of your time outside, it provides all necessary at a good price.

Hi This is a very nice riad, within easy reach from Guleiz and the square. We were happy with our stay and the price was very good. I was happy that I was able to leave our bags in the riad for several hours and I was also able to charge my power bank. The only thing we didn't like, was that like so many riads in Marrakech, it was a little hard to find, a Morrocan asked us the name of our Riad, took us there and demanded $20, just for walking with us for 10 minutes or so, something we would do, without expecting payment. Just be a little careful and do not give in to these demands.
