This was a nice place to stay, we had a large room with our own couch etc which was cute. A very pretty, traditional room. Nibbles on arrival were a nice touch. We were there in Feb and whilst the roof is cute, it definately did not look as pretty as the pictures. Perhaps more of an effort is made... More

Hi, thank you so much for taking the time to write, and so glad that you loved your room etc...we certainly do make an effort ALL YEAR round, and the top terrace, of course, being so open to the elements, cannot always have the carpets and the umbrellas out! Sad though this may be, it is a reality, and so... More

very nice and friendly Riad in the heart of Essaoouira. Clean rooms, rooftop terrace and good breakfast. Hammam on demand- a real experience and a must if you havent done it. Friendly people who speak English or french. Helpful information about sightseeing, cafes and restaurants. Highly recommended!

We stayed 5 nights. Very good starting point for extensive exploration of the old town of Essaouira and the beach. Very friendly support in all matters. Nice breakfast on the roof garden. Gladly stay again.

We were greeted at the bus station in Essaouira & guided to the Riad. Nothing special to look at from the outside, but once inside it was an oasis of calm and tranquility. Sue, the owner, served us tea & some delicious nibbles as she gave us the low down on the local area. Her info was invaluable as we... More

We were warmly greeted by Kabira when we arrived in our taxi from Agadir (arranged with the help of Sue) and guided through the town to the Riad. It is a fascinating old building with comfortable rooms and a great roof terrace where one can breakfast while enjoying the sun and looking at the ocean. Sue wasn't there, but all... More

It might have been that the owner was on vacation and that my experience is different from those staying here while management was around, but my stay here was not as good as what I expected it to be like based on the online reviews. It was basically a deserted place with nobody around. Maybe I was spoiled by the... More

A lovely Riad in Essaouira. Owner Sue takes the time to meet each of her guests and is full of tips for all budgets - she clearly loves the town and she wants you to too - thanks to her help we ate well, we didn't get lost, and she organised a very reasonably priced hammam for us both too.... More

I'm two years tardy in writing this review, but some friends are about to embark on a trip to Morocco, and their travels conjured all sorts of great memories. Lunetoile is in a great residential location near the city walls, meaning that's it's nice and quiet and has amazing views of the ocean. The version of Lonely Planet that we... More
