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.

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.

Lovely Riad in the Heart of Essaouira

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.

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.

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).

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.

Wonderful stay at Riad Amana. I loved every part of it. The riad is beautiful, clean, warm, with a real human soul and located just in the center of action, 20 steps into the main street and 5 mins walking distance from every part in Essaouira. The whole staff is incredible and you will feel Myriam and Fatima are your longtime friends. Will come back, thank you!
