Super comfortable and strategically located

Beautiful riad located in one of the main shopping area of the town. The venue is the topical riad and te rooms are quite and big. The bathroom was clean and the public areas are comfortable and give you the impression to be at home. I strongly recommend this property, I will surely come back.

So and so

Based on the other riads we stayed at this one was the lowest in our list. It's a very big and impressive riad with lots of beautiful architerctural aspects, however it wasn't as clean (especially in the room), the rooms were not nice and the shower was an adventure. We never managed to take a proper shower throughout the 4 days we stayed there (and I am talking about a simple 4-5min shower with medium to hot water). So not clean, no shower, and no wifi in the room. Other than that, the location was great as it is in the heart of the medina (perhaps too noisy for others), the staff was very friendly, and the breakfast really good. If the small fountains had running water as they were designed for, the whole experience in this riad would improve greatly. Overall, I would not recommend it for the reasons mentioned above and plus it was pricy for what it offers

OK

Good breakfast & service, good hot shower, excellent location. On the downside, the rooms felt damp, though it's common in the old buildings, bed linen had a smell & lack of sound isolation meant sleep wasn't great.

Great location just not the best accommodation

Great location, cute Riad. Needs updating. Room was big and spacious just quite dark and dingy looking. Bathroom needs updating, I dreaded using the shower. Towels were clean, just not clean and fluffy. Room was cleaned daily, staff were very good and very helpful. Breakfast was great, there was a lot of it, a lot of bread and not much else. Dinner was very good, best beef tagine. A mix of a review really, so best to just avoid.

Great place to stay - location, service and rooms

Essaouira is a real find and the Maison di Sud was a gem of a hotel. Set right in the middle of the medina, it is really handy for pretty much everything to see in the town. Really helpful staff. Only slight downside was the room we had (which was enormous) was on the the 'road' side of the riad and hence a little noisy at times. . The only other point is that the wifi (free) is only in the downstairs lounge, not reaching our room or the roof. But we really weren't in the room much. There's a lounge on the ground floor (cool and a bit dark) but an enormous roof top terrace with lots of tables, chairs and loungers. Breakfast was pretty good (three or four breads, yoghurt, jam, honey, fresh juice and coffee. That said the same breakfast costs about £3/€3+ in most of the cafes in the town

Großes aber altes Riad im Herzen der Medina

Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Frühstück war immer gleich - viel Brot, Honig, Mermelade und einen Saft + Kaffee oder Tee (manchmal ein Ei). Es gibt eine große Dachterasse die zum sonnenbaden einläd, jedoch ist das Riad an sich ziemlich düster. Das Zimmer war groß, aber schon älter und staubig. Das Bad war ok, aber die Dusche ist ständig übergelaufen - nach ca. 4min., weil der Ablauf nicht funktionierte (auch nach der Reparatur). Das Bett war hart und die Matratze lag auf einer Holzpalette - im Rahmen. Es gab kein Lattenrost, was für das Schlafgefühl nicht gerade zuträglich war. Außerdem ist es sehr laut, von der Straße. Die Fenster halten den Lärm nicht wirklich ab, von daher konnten meine Frau und ich nur mit Schlafbrille und Oropax schlafen. Fazit: Für ein zwei Tage ausreichend, allerdings für mehrere Tage nicht so erholsam wie erhofft (wir waren 7 Tage dort).

Central for all our needs

I surfed Morocco 45 years ago from Kenitra to Agadir, living in my van. We stayed in Essaouira for a week only because we found a man who made excellent fresh yoghurt every day. My wife and I went for a week in October 2017 and the weather was about 30 degrees every day without a cloud in sight. We stayed in Maison Du Sud which is in the heart of the medina, giving us the choice of shopping, or rock the Kasbah. Sipping mint tea while watching great musicians, modern or traditional Moroccan style with just a ten minute walk to the beach where the Atlantic ocean still pounds away at the sandy shore. We watched surfers riding the waves, while further down the beach kite surfers were in flying above the waves. Camel and horse rides were available if you fancy it or even quad bikes racing along the waters edge. In short, something for everybody. We ate at some lovely restaurants, although not all of them serve beer wine or spirits. We never got sick as we were just cautious not to take ice in drinks. We had a great time.

The riad is old and our room isn't that well maintained. The room is very humid and there were flies in the room! Condition of the room is different from what's shown in the pictures.
