At Riad Kafila, travelers highlight sweeping Atlantic views, a scenic Medina-edge location, friendly and helpful staff, very clean rooms, and consistently excellent breakfasts, while noting that rooms tend to be basic and on the smaller, cozier side.
Shared spaces such as the rooftop, veranda, and dining room are praised for their atmosphere and decor. Some guests mentioned damp or cold bedding and, in a few cases, dissatisfaction with handling of reservation changes and luggage moved before checkout. Expect a simple, welcoming stay in a characterful riad.

We sadly stayed here only for 1 night. Wish we could spend more time in the lovely town of Essaouira and in Riad Kafila. The team of the riad made us feel extremely welcome and right at home. They were super nice and helpful. Our room (no 3) overlooking the Atlantic Ocean had one of the best views ever. It was amazing to wake up and watch the huge ocean waves crashing on the rocks. Breakfast was plentiful, tasty and very generous, we didn't need lunch that day! Location is also good, very close to the city walls, great for sunset. Some lovely restaurants in close vicinity and of course shopping.

Très beau riad vue sur mer depuis un belle veranda fermée ou la terrasse a coté. Vue dur mer depuis certaines chambres. Bon pett dejeuner. Dans les remparts kien situé pour les visites a 12 mn des parkings. Par contre le site decrit mal les chambres verifier si vue sur mer ou fenêtre sur mer sur le site de l'hôtel. Bon rapport qualité prix. Chambre un peu petite mais cosy. Odeur d'humidité mais en bord de mer c'est plutôt normal.

A wonderful Riad, super helpful and friendly staff who spoke very good English. Room was lovely, clean, fresh, roses on the side table, free bottles of water. The public spaces were beautifully decorated, a mix of quirky modern and traditional, just lovely. Breakfast was tasty and fresh. Great positon in the old Medina with the waves crashing on the shore outside the open window, but totally quiet with the window shut. Can't recommend this place highly enough

An amazing stay for such a cheap price. The hotel staff were unbelievably friendly and our room was cleaned to a high standard every day with fresh towels. Breakfast was wonderful and WiFi was fast and reliable. It was a little cold during our stay and I requested an additional duvet and the staff sorted me one there and then. For the price we paid I was over the moon with the hotel and service. The view was amazing too.

The breakfast and the breakfast area were great. The price was fine. Mr. Abdul was an excellent host. The bed was cold and I think damp. The location was good for us in the old town. Easy to find etc. It was nice to stay in an authentic riad

An amazing stay for such a cheap price. The hotel staff were unbelievably friendly and our room was cleaned to a high standard every day with fresh towels. Breakfast was wonderful and WiFi was fast and reliable. It was a little cold during our stay and I requested an additional duvet and the staff sorted me one there and then. For the price we paid I was over the moon with the hotel and service. The view was amazing too.

We sadly stayed here only for 1 night. Wish we could spend more time in the lovely town of Essaouira and in Riad Kafila. The team of the riad made us feel extremely welcome and right at home. They were super nice and helpful. Our room (no 3) overlooking the Atlantic Ocean had one of the best views ever. It was amazing to wake up and watch the huge ocean waves crashing on the rocks. Breakfast was plentiful, tasty and very generous, we didn't need lunch that day! Location is also good, very close to the city walls, great for sunset. Some lovely restaurants in close vicinity and of course shopping.

This was my favorite place I stayed in Morocco. The staff was above and beyond. The breakfasts, housekeeping, and help coordinating travel were all great perks. This riad is also very nicely appointed.

Værelset var dejligt, men lidt småt. Der var udsigt til mægtige bølger i Atlanterhavet. Personalet flinkt, og morgenmaden storslået.

Riad exceptionnelle avec une vue sur l'océan et localisé en plein dans la médina. Accueil et service irréprochable. Le petit-déjeuner est excellent et très copieux. L'endroit est parfait pour évacuer son stress et se ressourcer. Le riad dispose d'une terrasse avec une vue exceptionnelle sur l'océan. Un grand merci pour Redouane et Abderrahim pour leur gentillesse et leur hospitalité. A refaire sans hésiter.
