Riad Asmitou is a nicely renovated riad in the middle of the Medina in Essaouira. The service was exceptional and breakfast good (typical Moroccan, but also with yugurt and fresh orange juice). The decoration is stylish, with each room different from the others. The location could not be better, just 1-2 minutes walk from the main street of the Medina.... More

We stayed here for one night arriving later in the evening. There was confusion about our booking, we had booked a family room for 4 and on arrival we were told they did not have any family rooms! Unfortunately the night porter spoke no english and even the day staff had trouble explaining the situation. Good location but many stairs... More

Just inside the medina walls, this riad is in a fairly good location and the directions on te website are fabulous. The rooms are clean, although there was a few ants in the bathroom.

All of the staff were very friendly and helpful and happy to assist with any requests. The evening meals were excellent, delicious traditional dishes. All of the sites... More

Great Riad; very good value for dollar. Fantastic front desk manager that speaks fluent English and is only too helpful to make your stay in Essouria as easy as possible. Located in back streets of the old town, yet easily accessible. When making reservation, request a back room, as front room/corner faces onto local street watering hole (that operates 24/7).... More

We stayed at this Riad for two days in July. Service was excellent and staff were very friendly. We stayed in the Savanne suite which exceeded all of our expectations. It was very spacious and clean. The riad is located in the Medina close to both the beach and the Supratours bus station. All in all a very pleasant stay... More

After a couple of days in Marrakech, my partner and I descended onto Riad Asmitou to find a lovely warm welcome in a clean and visually attractive Riad. The Riad is located about a 10 minute walk from the bus station and coast line, however, this is based upon knowing exactly where you are going. Be prepared to wander the... More
