Beautiful spot right in the boarder of the Medina. So about 5-15 min walk anywhere. Beds were super comfortable and rooms were spacious. Loved the robes and bathtub in my room. Only thing it doesn’t have is pool or gym :) but I wasn’t expecting that. Breakfast was yummy. Pastries. Eggs of choice. Yogurt. Fruit bowl etc.

Beautiful authentic riad with simply lovely staff who couldn’t be more accommodating! Wonderful breakfasts too

We had a wonderful stay at Riad Chbanate. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and beautifully maintained, but what truly makes this place special is the exceptional staff. A heartfelt thank you to Hisham, Gregie (apologies if I’ve misspelled your name), Samira, and the entire team. Everyone was incredibly welcoming, accommodating, and genuinely committed to making our stay enjoyable. The breakfast was excellent, and the Moroccan tea was some of the best we had during our trip. The location is ideal if you prefer being closer to the beach. The main medina and other attractions are about a 10–13 minute walk away, which we found very manageable. We highly recommend Riad Chbanate to anyone visiting Essaouira. Thank you again to the entire team for your outstanding hospitality!

Everything as described by others. Nice room, good breakfast etc.

Belle chambre éclairée, personnel gentil et Riad bien décoré et très propre. Bien situé dans la médina d’Essaouira.

le plus bel endroit de notre séjour à Essaouira, un accueil hors norme, une chambre superbe avec une salle de bain de rêve, un repas succulent et tout cela dans une ambiance magique. Notre seul regret est de ne pas y être restées plus longtemps

Amazing

What an amazing property. Beautiful, clean, friendly staff, great location. Would recommend and would stay here in the future. Great breakfast each day and very romantic dinner by the fireplace. Thank you Sameera for the welcome.

Fabulous riad with professional and attentive staff. Beautiful roof terrace for breakfast and just lazing after a day in the souls.

Super cute/quaint, pleasant and not too fancy

Parfait !

Best of the riads we stayed in while visiting Morocco. We drove a vehicle and parking was easy in large lot nearby. Visit the desk and a fellow with cart will help move luggage for modest tip into the walls of city. Room was the romantic suite and well worth the minor upcharge. They offered to light the fireplace, but we didn’t use it. There was a hot tub near the room that we took advantage of after a lot of walking. The hot tub was great during our January visit. Bed was comfy, towels soft, lots of bath products. This riad room had a tv (many don’t) which was nice to watch a little something while relaxing in bed. This was the only riad we stayed with a tv - didnt miss it elsewhere. Breakfast was also the best we experienced at any riad in Morocco. Good fruit, eggs, toasts, etc. I highly recommend staying here when in essaouira. If I am ever back, then I will not hesitate to stay here again. For questions on parking. The fee is like 30 or 50 DH per day, but they will hassle you for more. I just paid them versus risking less care for the security of my rental vehicle. You will get a receipt to display on dash and have coming and going privileges.

Staff very helpful to find a local guide after our guide cancelled last minute

Staff were incredibly hospitable and courteous and offered tea upon arrival. The riad was very clean and in a safe location. The breakfast was excellent with many options to choose from.

Eine fantastische Unterkunft mitten in der Medina - ein wirklich tolles Erlebnis! Wir hatten die Panorama Suite gebucht und waren sowohl vom Zimmer als auch dem ausgesprochen freundlichen und sehr zugewandten Personal begeistert.

We hadden een geweldig verblijf in deze riad. We werden met een karretje voor onze bagage opgehaald bij onze parkeerplaats omdat je in de medina niet met de auto erbij kan. Alhoewel het een klein stukje lopen is is dit een heel fijne service. Eenmaal aangekomen in de riad werden we warm ontvangen door de receptioniste. Er is een heerlijk dakterras met een jacuzzi waar we in alle privacy gebruik van konden maken. De kamer was superfijn en het bed ook. Heel luxe. Maar het beste van alles is dat ze mijn paspoort (en geld) binnen Marokko nog hebben kunnen verzenden met de post, omdat ik deze was vergeten op de kamer. Ik was echt in paniek maar gelukkig zijn ze zo eerlijk en meewerkend!

Fabulous location and staff

Beautiful riad with a very friendly staff. Felt very relaxed here. Perfect place to stay when visiting Essaouira.

Calming property within medina. Staff were very helpful

Ce fut le plus belle Riad pour moi dans ma vie je conseil à tous excellent accueil propreté qualité proximité et les hôtes sont excellent
