Overall Ratings & Reviews RIAD AMANA

During our 2 weeks traveling through Morocco, we chose a mixture of riads and hotels to stay in. Riad Amana was on the lower end of the list of stays we enjoyed. We had the Chefchaouen room for the 2 of us, which was spacious and large. Unfortunately the back alley directly below the room had loud yelling/noise until 2AM each night. We got no sleep during our 2 night stay in Essaouira. The amenities and services are lower quality at this riad as well. Expedia reflects that there’s daily housekeeping - no housekeeping was provided and towels were not changed at all. There was barely any toilet paper and they didn’t provide shampoos/conditioners. Breakfast was basic staples and you have the option to add on eggs at additional cost. Staff are very friendly. Syed was helpful. The location is phenomenal as it’s a quick walk. Therefore, this is a good option for backpackers, budget travelers, and groups of friends instead of couples or quieter families I’d say.

It was a lovely stay in this Riad, thank you Miriam for everything you were such a nice and helping with everything even food delivery!:))

Great stay at this centrally located property in the Medina!

A very charming well situated riad. We had a lovely room - everything was spotless - and we enjoyed relaxing on the pretty roof terrace. The freshly made pancakes at breakfast were delicious! The staff couldn't have been nicer or more helpful 🙂. We would love to go back.

A beautiful riad in a very central location. Highly recommended.

The room was spacious and we found the property easily from the public car park where we left our hire car

Excellent find in the Medina of Essaouira. Beautiful, individualized rooms. Very friendly welcome and reliable service. Good breakfast with Moroccan pancakes. Central location in quiet side street.

The riad is beautifully decorated, very quiet but right in the middle of the souk. The staff are really friendly and welcoming and we felt like a part of the family after 2 days. The terrace room was lovely - tasteful and stylish decoration, huge and unusual. We loved it. We had a cookery class at the riad with Fatima. After shopping with her in the market we cooked a chicken tagine with aubergine salad. It was a lot of fun and food always gets to the heart of a culture. Of course the best part was eating it. Thank you to Meryem and all the staff for making our stay so special and memorable.

Great reception on arrival. The staff is kind and super friendly. Having breakfast was a real treat. You can customize it as you want. And because of the communal table, you can have conversations with other travelers. I would definitely recommend this place to both families, couples or solo travelers. Thank you Meriem.

Loved this Riad! We had a lovely room on the rooftop! Staff was very friendly and helpful— rooms very clean with everything you need to be comfortable. We had breakfasts and dinners— breakfasts were fine but the dinners were superb!

Accommodation was great, plenty of space and well decorated. Breakfast was a nice way to start the day and the rooftop seating was a great spot to chill.

Staff were very caring and helpful Specially the lady named Kawtar 🙏

This is a lovely riad, in the heart of the Medina. Our room overlooked an alley, and was not soundproofed, so we did not sleep well on some nights, but the riad was otherwise delightful. Breakfast was simple and served at a communal table, which did not suit us, but was not the end of the world. Ask for a room away from the alley and you will enjoy a great stay (and a good sleep) in a beautiful establishment.

Stayed here for 4 nights. Really amazing, clean and well-maintained property. The staff is friendly and many thanks to Myriam who helped us and provided her expertise regarding things to do and visit. Overall a really good experience. Highly recommend!

Dès l’accueil par Myriam, nous avons eu un coup de coeur pour cet riad. Les chambres sont très charmantes et le déjeuner est copieux. L’emplacement est aussi parfait. Nous n’hésiterons pas à y revenir !

Myriam, la gérante, a été exceptionnelle et nous a aidées à trouver un guide pour visiter la ville et nous a recommandé un hammam tout près de l’hôtel. Le Riad est mignon, propre et très bien situé, en plein coeur de la Médina. Le personnel a été accueillant et généreux envers nous. La configuration des chambres fait en sorte qu’elles offrent peu d’intimité (pour deux amies).

Really friendly staff and lovely rooms.... We'll be back!

Right off a main walkway in the middle of the medina (old town). The inside is like a quiet oasis from the bustle outside, each room decorated different. My first stay in a riad. Traditional but modern. Not accessable by car, about a 10 walk from road. If you have luggage, there are porters with wagons that will pull your stuff for you.

Propre, bien situé , bon accueil, bon petit déjeuner .

Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour au Riad Amana, un véritable havre de paix idéalement situé au cœur de la médina d’Essaouira. L’accueil de Meryem et Fatima a été exceptionnel : attentionnées, disponibles et toujours prêtes à rendre service, elles nous ont fait sentir comme chez nous. La décoration du riad est raffinée, le petit déjeuner copieux et savoureux, et les massages proposés sur place m’ont apporté une vraie parenthèse de bien-être. Seul petit bémol : l’insonorisation des chambres, qui pourrait être améliorée. Mais cela n’a en rien gâché la qualité de notre séjour. Je recommande vivement ! À bientôt peut-être ?
