Beautiful new riad in the centre of the old town of Essaouira. The staff are very courteous and friendly. A big thank you to Mohamed and Safia. The breakfast is also large and varied and the staff cater for special dietary requirements (diabetes). There is a public car park at the harbour, only 5-10min walk away for 25 DH per day.

Riad Yanitri is an amazing and outstanding place to stay. We never expected to find such a lovely, stylish, childfriendly and absolutely new place in Marroko. The couple who runs the Riad is giving more than everthing 24/7 to make your stay perfect. We stayed with our toddler two nights and wished we would have stayed much longer. There are many things that even keep the little ones entertained or welcome them to be explored. Babybeds, babychairs, toddlerfriendly meals, turtles, games... everything is there. The whole place is so welcoming and the food so authentical and tasty that it is hard to leave. What my husband and I also really enjoyed was, that the owners speak English!!! That's a huge advantage as we got so many information about everthing we came up with. We are so glad that we discovered this little heaven not far from town.

A true gem in the middle of the medina. The riad dar les sirens deserves an impressive 5 stars with its beautiful decor and surprising quiet atmosphere. It is a women’s led riad and empowers the local girls to have a good job. For that matter I think it’s very safe for solo female traveler’s passing by Essaouira too. As for the quality of beds The mattresses have a topper, and are the most comfortable we have slept in on our Morocco road trip. My husband and I enjoyed the Breakfast every morning too, it was top! However, beyond anything else we must emphasise specifically the manager of this place, who provided us a very special hosting! Amila, who is sure to greet you with a great smile every morning, will fulfil every wish you have. Her and her kids made this riad feel like home. We loved it so much that upon our first night we cancelled a different riad we had booked after this one, in order to stay longer. Amilas cooking is also excellent, so be sure to ask her for cooking classes if you are interested and enjoy her food as she offers this too! When I told her that I loved a nice fire place she made sure to gift me every morning a breakfast by the fire. This alone was for me so special. Book this place with confidence, you will recharge in this quiet place in the middle of the medina.

A beautiful, traditional Riad which was full of authentic typical Morocco decor and lots of lovely green plants. Very nicely done rooms that were colorful and cosy. I'd absolutely want to come back and stay here again. The staff were very friendly and gave lots of great information too. The breakfast was delicious too, and plenty of it :)

Very friendly and helpful staff. Despite being located in a busy street of the Medina, when the doors of this riad opens, the noise stays out. The courtyard has some jungle vibes with beautiful plants hanging from the top floor. Breakfast is simple but fresh and good.

Amazing riad in a very central yet quiet location of Essaouira. Very tastefully designed with plenty of local art pieces. The owner is very friendly and makes you feel at home even when you are staying there for one night only (my case). Special kudos to the traditional moroccan breakfast on the terrace!
