Zohra, très très serviable, accueillante, elle nous a donné d'excellentes adresses pour aller manger. Le petit déjeùner servi par Nadia, était très copieux et excellent, Nadia, une personne toujours avec le sourire. Un riad à recommander, si vous aller à Essaouira, un village avec sa médina et ses habitants authentique.

A Fine Choice

The riad itself is nice-- it's not the most beautiful riad I saw over my two week period, but there was nothing major to complain about either. The showers were hot, the view from the rooftop was beautiful and our hostess was very kind. The only things I found less than wonderful were the beds, which were quite hard, and the WiFi, which works well on the bottom floor patio, but doesn't work in the upper floor rooms-- however, I found this to be the case in quite a few of the well-rated riads I stayed in. Overall, it's a nice pick for the price, but wouldn't necessarily need to seek it out again.

Das geschmackvolle Riad wir von einer sehr charmanten Gastgeberin geführt, bei der man auch nach Anmeldung vorzüglich Abendessen kann. Das Frühstück auf der Dachterrasse mit herrlichem Blick auf den Atlantik hat uns auch gut gefallen. Anfang März braucht man allerdings abends wärmere Sachen, da die Zimmer keine Heizung haben.

Malhonnête

15 minutes devant la porte à poireauter... pas de réponse et ont encaissé la chambre. Nous avons dû trouver un hôtel en urgence. J'ai essayé de les joindre plus d'une dizaine de fois pour discuter... personne ne décroche. C'est malhonnête

STAY AWAY, GO ANYWHERE ELSE

DO NOT Stay here!!!! The service is horrible! The room is NOT as advertised, AT ALL! Not only did I not get what I paid for, but the woman working is nasty! She was rude, mean and suggested I should just leave, even though I was already prepaid. We sucked it up because we are in a foreign country, so we stayed. It was cold, I asked for an extra blanket, SHE REFUSED! We asked for an extra towel, also REFUSED!!!! We were literally laughing at the end at how horrible of a person and a stay it was. The country itself is amazing, but stay away from this hotel.

Gorgeous Riad, centrally located in Essaouira.

Beautiful and clean, owner onsite and very helpful. Enjoyed the terrace with a bottle of wine and looked out into the Atlantic Ocean. Very personable and homey and would definitely stay there again.

Authentic Riad

We had a lovely stay at Riad Belle, we arranged transfers with the Riad and all went very smoothly. We had a warm welcome but we didn't get the, room we booked online, which was slightly disappointing as it looked a much lighter room in decor and I asked for twin beds and the room we were offered had a double. The room was of the the same standard and they quickly turn it into a twin room. We had breakfast on the terrace for the 1st morning, lovely views but very windy so we had it in our room for the rest of the stay. The Riad is tucked away in the Medina but this made it very quite especially in the mornings which was nice. We requested a meal on the first night too which was lovely and had a very nice bottle of wine. All in all I would recommend staying at Riad Belle.

A new gem in the heart of Essaouira!

The hotel is relatively new, but Zora, the owner, has made and is making continuous changes to make it a truly wonderful place to stay inEssaouira. With an amazing rooftop area for breakfast within a stone's throw from the ocean, less than 5' walk from the main streets, the shops and most restaurants, it is THE place to stay. Zara's a treasure trove of information on where to go, where to eat and see, so ask and, above all, listen. Thoroughly recommended! Oh, and ask Zora to prepare her signature tagine for you - one of the best I've ever eaten!

Pros: The owner is an extremely nice person. She went out of her way to make us feel welcome, and did all she could to make our stay enjoyable. As we were here on Xmas day, she served Xmas drinks and snacks to all the guests. Even when we were just lounging in the lobby talking to one another before dinner, she unexpectedly served us appetizers as we sat. The breakfast was fantastic. Each day the menu was a bit different, and each day was great (chocolate pancakes, crepes, croissants, etc.). The rooftop terrace is wonderful, with a great view of the ocean. It's a nicely decorated riad, and you can tell that the owner takes great pride in her place. Cons: Our room didn't have a heating/ac unit. It wasn't too much of a problem as we had relatively mild weather while we were there, but could be an issue if you visit when it's very hot or cold outside. Our room also didn't have very good ventilation. After taking a shower the room would feel steamy/muggy for awhile, which caused an overall damp feeling. Our room also smelled kind of bad (could be a product of the poor ventilation), because of a sewage smell coming from the bathroom drain.
