I had the most fabulous room, enormous, on the corner so a lot of light with windows on both sides. The shower was huge, enough towels, although the toiletries advertised was just a tiny bar of soap so make sure you take your own. The location of this riad is right in the centre of town, on one of the... More

I stayed at the Maison du Sud in April 2013 for a week. It's a great place. Amazing location right in the heart of the medina-action. Great service from very friendly and helpful staff. Lovely simple breakfasts. Roof terrace. Nice room. My room was on the first floor overlooking the busy street, but it wasn't too noisy at all. All... More

We stayed one night here as arranged by our tour company and, after reading some of the reviews, I was very pleasantly surprised. Our room was spacious and beautifully decorated in traditional Moroccan style and the public areas were equally attractive. The location is excellent and although it was a bit noisy at night (we had a room at the... More

This riad is quite big – it’s actually two ‘houses’ joined together – and situated right in the heart of the medina, you step out of the front door and there are shops all around you. Staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was huge with bed at one end, two sitting areas, and full bathroom. Decor was beautiful throughout... More

Beautiful traditional riad run by attentive and friendly staff right in the heart of the bustling medina. Rooms fairly basic but spacious and clean. Beakfast also basic but plentiful and served with courtesy and charm in the art filled ground floor courtyard. Terrace rooms provide a view of the medina rooftops and the wonderfully clear Moroccan night sky.

Romantic riad run by lovely people in the heart of Essaouira's medina. Indoor fountains were filled with rose petals; ivy trailed from interior balconies down stone pillars and into the central courtyards below. Bedroom and bathroom were basic but comfortable. Overall: a delightful experience.

Stayed here for 2 nights and I have to say that the location cannot be beat. It is right in the middle of the medina.
