Very good

This small riad was in the medina close to main souks, the decor was simple but represented maroccan handicrafts throughout. Nice comfortable room, nice continental style breakfast, friendly and accommodating staff.
The Riad is well appointed with rooms that are of a good size and it is in a quiet part of Essaouira's Medina. Its French owner was very helpful.

Het was in de oude medina en derhalve vlakbij de winkelstraatjes ,cafe's en restaurants.De medina is niet toegankelijk voor auto's en onze auto moesten wij dan ook buiten de muren parkeren.Daar heeft ie zonder problemen dan ook gestaan.Wij deden alles te voet.Wij hebben het naar onze zin gehad.
salut,
c'etait vraiment un agreable sejour a Ryad Asmitou, le style orientale des chambres, le soin du deign d'interieur, les lampes, la tadellakte dans la douche, la proprote et bien evidement l'inoubliable gentillesse et hospitalite des demoiselles de la reception et les autres aussi qui font un enorme effort pour satisfaire les clients, on leur dit tous MERCI BEAUCOUP et surement nous retournons vous voir...

Struttura molto carina, tutte le stanze arredate con gusto nello stile locale. La posizione non è certamente tra le migliori di Essaouira,molto rumorosa con schiamazzi fino a notte inoltrata.
Comfortable, clean, excellent wifi, traditional moroccan, centrally located. Downers little english spoken, no alcohol available if that is important to sime western travellers.
Hôtel bien placé, reste agréable pour un séjour court sur essaouira

sejour dans la médina
tout c'est bien passer à par que au moment de partir on c'est fait courser dans la medina parceque l'on avez pas payer alors que sur la reservation il etais marquer que nous allions etre debiter directement sur mon compte , c'est tres desagreable est je ne sait toujours pas aujourd'hui si je me suis fait avoir , c'est a dire si je vait payer deux fois , le bon de reservation est tres mal fait est embigu on ne sait qui croire, il faut qu'hotel. Com rectifit cela , c'est des situation tres désagreable
Although the front desk clerk couldn't really speak any English, but he was very friendly! Tried his best to understand my questions! The room was very comfortable and clean! Breakfast was good on the terrace! There were noises from the street at night, but if you choose to stay inside the Medina, I guess that's come with the package! Highly recommend!

Hôtel brouillant
L'établissement est situé sur une ruelle dans la vielle médina .les discussions des passants s'entendent dans la chambre jour et nuit , J'ai pas dormi la nuit ni se reposer le jour.
We booked a triple room, but upon arrival was told there were none available, although we were given two separate rooms to accommodate the 3 of us. The single bed I slept on was terrible as was the pillow. We asked for laundry service, which we were told our clothing would be back in 24 hours. The following day when we advised we needed to leave early, our dirty laundry was returned unwashed. Very disappointing.

Great location in Medina
Riad is lokated in Medina of Essauira, good location with real local flavor, a bit used and tiny rooms but fair for the price. Breakfast typical French continental, but fresh and good tasting.
Enieme sejour a essaouira .premier a l hotel riad asmitou.joli hotel assez cocon ,petits dejeuners appreciablkes sur la terrasseet tres bons.les chambres manquent de rangements,un portant faisant office de penderie et quelsues etageres peu pratiques.gros point noir de cet hotel:le bruit et pour certains hotes l eloignement (relatif)de la plage.a noter la gentillesse deu veilleur contrairement a la froideur d l accueil (ou plutot indifference ).
Nous avons eu juste le désagrément des robinets du lavabo qui fuyaient et de l'eau froide qui ne fonctionnait pas Un bon accueil,un excellent petit déjeuner une chambre calme malgré sa situation dans la médina .....et une polyphonie venant de la mosquée pas désagréable du tout
Agréable, tranquille,bien décorer, bien situé,je n'ai autres choses à ajouter. Mon séjour fut très
agréable.

Günstiges Riad in guter Lage
Preis-Leistung war sehr gut. Wir wollten uns zwei Tage Essaouiraansehen und für diesen Zweck war es ausreichend. Guter Ausblick von der Dachterass3. Alles etwas heruntergekommen, aber trotzdem sauber und sehr höfliche Angestellte. Alles in Allem eine Zweckunterkunft.
