Thais is great hostess, her Riad is stunning and in a lovely location of the Medina. Can only HIGHLY recommend! The kitchen provides all necessary, the lounge area with the fireplace is an excellent gatheringpoint. The terrace has a beautiful view of the busy street below, and don't forget the hammam - complete privacy :) Thank you Thais - warm... More

This Riad was great value, great location and a great place to stay. Both Thais and Monika were really helpful with enquiries that we had and recommended places to eat. Breakfast was amazing and the rooms and communal areas were all incredibly clean. The standard room was on the smaller side but was plenty big enough for us and our... More

Lovely riad, the owner has clearly taken a lot of time and thought into the decor keeping traditional moroccan style with a slightly modern twist. Very welcoming nothing was too much trouble and in a way felt like a home from home. Have to mention the cook come house keeper she was excellent, lovely breakfasts and excellent tea! I would...

Nice Riad, good breakfast, friendly staff, very nice hammam treatment. The only downpoint was an annoying french couple with their children. Monika is a very friendly host and she knows a lot of good places to go in Essaouira.

I can't add much new to the recent reviews, just to say that my stay was great. The riad is really peaceful and charming and Thais, Monica and the staff are wonderful and helpful. The location is excellent and the breakfast very good. Excellent experience.

From the very first minute we stepped into Riad Thais I understood that we made the right choice. Such a shame we came to Essaouira for two days only! I would love to stay there for at least a week! The riad designed in a very unusual manner, compiling traditional Moroccan elements and finishing with somewhat Gaudi-inspired (round shapes, soft... More

This riad was beautiful! The reception was very pleasant, Thaïs showed me the places to see and do in town. The riad itself is completely new, a very nice style and in the middle of town, which makes it super easy to make nice walks and see everything you need. Highly recommended, Erik.

We stayed in Riad Thais for three days with another family and everything was wonderful. We got to the place late in the evening and a surprise was waiting for us behind the door: the Riad is exceptionally well decorated, modern but keeping the charm you expect in Morocco. Breakfast is delicious and varied. The location in Essaouria is also... More
