What guests think

At Riad Mimouna, travelers consistently highlight the dramatic oceanfront setting, panoramic rooftop spaces, and a central medina location, along with a beautiful traditional building and enjoyable meals served in the restaurant with sweeping views of the sea.

Sea view rooms and suites stand out, though several guests note the lack of air conditioning and, at times, chilly or damp conditions and dated bathrooms. Cleanliness is widely appreciated, with occasional issues such as leaks or awkward shower drainage. Service is generally friendly and helpful, though a few report poor handling of reservations or the night reception. Expect a traditional riad experience that favors atmosphere over amenities like air conditioning.

A beautiful hotel in a fantastic location. We had a room with a direct sea view, and the sound of the sea crashing on the rocks below was hypnotic. Brilliant, friendly, kind, attentive staff, a fantastic roof terrace, amazing views, incredibly comfortable bed. It is a lovely, lovely place.

A really nice riad with very good and helpful staff and a beautiful roof top restaurant. Very good food. The bathroom needed updating and the shower above the bath hit the window instead of the bath so was difficult to use (room 311) Breakfast was the same each morning which could be monotonous after 2. A wonderful location though and very nicely presented.

The Riad Mimouna is beautiful (my wife would say”magical”)! From the moment you walk in the main door the beauty of the interior stands out. Rooms are decorated in a very traditional manner, and are a great space for a couple in our case. The real surprise was going up to the roof top restaurant and lounge area. This overlooked the ocean and might be the best view in Essaouira. Our breakfasts were served here and what a way to start your day! I would recommend this Riad to everyone.

This Riad was right next to the sea. The views were fabulous from the sun deck. There was also a great indoor sun lounge if too chilly outside. Both were next to the restaurant which also had excellent views and the food was also good. The room was comfortable, clean and had windows which was a welcome bonus. Staff were friendly and helpful. Essaouira was much more pleasant and cleaner than Marrakech. The woodworking area definitely worth a visit. It has a great beach although the sea was rather cold! Good selection of restaurants.

We first stayed in a room with no view, within the riad. The shower area was a bit tricky as water kept going into the main bathroom floor. I then asked for a room with a view and paid extra for the sea view suite. From then our vacation was really wonderful. With the seaview, plenty of space in the room with comfort, a bathtub, it was perfect. Staff were very accomodating and friendly. The staff at the breakfast area were very good with your 3 year old and kept playing with her. We had dinner there as well. Food is very good. Breakfast is served at the table itself and was nice.

El Riad es majestuoso y sus habitaciones te llenan de esa magia marroquí, impecable su limpieza y su restaurante don una decoración preciosa. El desayuno qué viene incluido es muy basto y rico, así como la comida que tienen a la carta. Definitivamente volveríamos mil veces más al Riad Mimouna, hizo de nuestra experiencia en Essaouira una experiencia super enriquecedora.

Our room had a leaking ceiling, a few drops of water every minute and we were woken up at 6:30 by the kitchen upstairs, but got a new room the next day, staff very friedly. Honestly should add some option to get inside at night - had to knock on the window, but all good in general. The roof adds a lot to the experience, would choose the riad just because of that

We arrived and we were given a room that was different from the one we paid for. The room we were offered was half of the price of what we paid. The property staff including the manager told us that that is what they received from the agency that represent Expedia and they showed us the document they received from Travel Councilling group. The problem we had is the property did not offer any help to solve the issue, they asked me to go call Expedia to figured it out. That was a poor service to client. I spent one hour with Expedia Agent over the phone and at the end I accepted to pay extra money to get the room I wanted. This was a poor experience . Expedia must revise its agreement with its intermediary in Morocco as even Expedia staff could not reach neither the agency nor the property management.
