We had such a lovely stay at the Riad Baladin in April - the decor and design perfectly reflect the relaxed, seaside vibe of Essaouira, and the owner Nicole could not be more welcoming and gracious. She met us at the main square when we arrived in Essaouira, and all of her recommendations for sights and restaurants were spot on.... More

Riad Baladin – I came to Morocco with relaxation in mind and following advice here on trip advisor searched for the ideal places to stay..With the Baladin I wasn’t let down..The house is located in a superb position within the Medina with great views from the terrace.. The Riad itself has a real peaceful feel about it that the layout... More

We stayed at the amazing Riad Baladin for 3 nights in mid April and wished we could have stayed longer! The Riad is decorated and designed so beautifully and really reflects a modern moroccan seaside feel. Upon arriving in Essaouira, Claudia (who fills in for Nicole the manager on her day off) met us at the bus and walked us... More

We really enjoyed our 4 night stay at the Riad Baladin in Essaouira. Nicole was a wonderful host and always ready to share information on Essaouira. She sent us to a beach that ended up being one of our best experiences of the trip. The only two "negatives" were that the room was rather damp and that they don't serve... More

We recently stayed for 3 nights at Riad Baladin, which was very different from the exotically decorated Riad we had just left in Marrakech. Baladin is an Interior Design set piece and could happily grace the pages of any glossy style magazine, (indeed it has already). Very much a white walled, bare wood treatment which fits the seaside location perfectly... More

We booked one night here out of a week's holiday in Marrakesh, on the recommendation of Frommer's Guidebook. Nicole very welcoming and friendly. Room (twin) very small but very comfortable and relaxed feel, with lots of white muslin and stripped wood. The whole experience was a relaxing break from the hectic atmosphere in Marrakesh. We took the 'deluxe' coach from... More

Essaouira is lovely, quiet and relaxing. Riad Baladin is very tastefully done, with a great location. The staff is very friendly, the breakfast excellent up there on the terrace. Nicole is a superb hostess, with great, knowledgeable advice not only about what to see and do in Essaouira, but also practical things, such as how much to tip and how... More

Booked one night here before meeting up with friends to stay in a group riad for the rest of our trip, and we were overall very impressed! ALL the staff were very friendly and helpful, especially of course Nicole, the owner, who we only saw in the morning at breakfast as she had been in Marrakech. On arrival we were... More

I and my two girlfriends booked the triple room at the Baladin for a two-night stay at the beginning of our trip to Morocco. I arrived first and Nicole met me at the bus station, and gave me an impromptu tour of Essaouira on our walk through the Medina to the riad. This was just the beginning of many instances... More

We booked Baladin for a three night stay as the downtime of a busy trip to Morocco. It was a wonderful choice. By the time we got to Baladin we had stayed in a number of riads, so had a bit of an idea of what to expect. This one exceeded expectations. We had an airy room for the four... More
