We had a wonderful experience at Riad Mimouna! The hotel is absolutely beautiful, with a charming traditional Moroccan atmosphere and stunning views. The location is perfect for exploring Essaouira, and everything felt peaceful and welcoming. The staff were incredibly kind, helpful, and attentive throughout our stay. The food was delicious, and the overall service made us feel very comfortable and well taken care of. A special mention for the beautiful rooftop views — it was such a lovely place to relax and enjoy the atmosphere of Essaouira. We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend Riad Mimouna to anyone visiting Essaouira. We would happily stay here again! ❤️

A great location inside the Medina with morrocan hospitality. From the moment we walked in, the staff was extremely courteous and helpful! The seaside view rooms are definitely worth booking. The upstairs terrace where meals were served had excellent ambiance and views as well!

The highlight of this hotel is the view. Absolutely aim for an ocean view room, but if not, there are ample opportunities to enjoy the view from the rooftop, the enclosed rooftop lounge, or the wall of windows in the dining area. Staff were absolutely wonderful, especially the women at the front desk - they made us feel welcomed and valued right from the start! This hotel has an elevator. We're normally stair people, but after long days, or when moving luggage, it's so nice to have the elevator option. The only downside was the breakfast. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad, it just wasn't good either. Breakfast was more of an opportunity to grab a bottled water for the day and get a little something in the belly before heading out, but never more than okay. The good thing is there are a number of wonderful restaurants in town.

Unforgettable and incredible

A beautiful hotel in a fantastic location. We had a room with a direct sea view, and the sound of the sea crashing on the rocks below was hypnotic. Brilliant, friendly, kind, attentive staff, a fantastic roof terrace, amazing views, incredibly comfortable bed. It is a lovely, lovely place.

Loved everything about Essaouira

Perfect location inside the medina, and right on the water. From our room we could see the sunset, we had a wonderful stay. The only things I would add are a luggage bench and one of those retractable lines to hang clothes on that sometimes are located along above the bathtub.

The Riad Mimouna is beautiful (my wife would say”magical”)! From the moment you walk in the main door the beauty of the interior stands out. Rooms are decorated in a very traditional manner, and are a great space for a couple in our case. The real surprise was going up to the roof top restaurant and lounge area. This overlooked the ocean and might be the best view in Essaouira. Our breakfasts were served here and what a way to start your day! I would recommend this Riad to everyone.

Not far from fabulous.

A really nice riad with very good and helpful staff and a beautiful roof top restaurant. Very good food. The bathroom needed updating and the shower above the bath hit the window instead of the bath so was difficult to use (room 311) Breakfast was the same each morning which could be monotonous after 2. A wonderful location though and very nicely presented.

It was a nice stay overall. Excellent location where I could visits all the spots on foot. The staffs there were nice and helpful. The room was clean (just the light was a bit dim). I enjoyed the breakfast on the rooftop very much. By the way, the tax charge stated on Hotel.com was incorrect MAD19.8 per person night, but turned out MAD30 instead) which made me a bit confused during check-out. Kindly amend the information.
