The lack of card payment facility made it tricky to get enough cash.

The property was beautiful with amazing art all over the place. The breakfast was great, especially the crepes.

The little riad was exceptional... huge thank you to the hostesses' family for their warm welcome, delicious meals, and making us feel at home. Clean and comfortable rooms, breezy terasse - would 100% return again!

Payment was in dirham, but cash was easily obtained from nearby ATM machines. After check in we never met the reception staff again during our stay. It did not have the hospitality of other riads we stayed in. Breakfast was served in a room off the top terrace, and was difficult to find until shown where it was.

This riad is in an excellent location, just off a main street full of restaurants, cafes and shops. A man with a carroca was sent to meet our taxi at the gate to the medina, and he showed us to the riad about 5 minutes walk away. We were welcomed on arrival with traditional mint tea and delicious pastries, while our bags were delivered to our room. Our suite was large with space for extra beds (behind a privacy curtain), a large seating area and a fridge.

The location of this Riad is perfect! It was very convenient for us to come back from our strolls in the medina of Essaouira to wind down a little. The staff of the Riad are very sweet and welcoming. The cats were also sweet! The breakfast is worth mentioning as well.

Leaving!

The Riad was lovely as were all the staff especially madame who made our breakfasts. I have never seen such perfect omelettes and the Moroccan pancakes were delicious.

Nothing. Everything was perfect. Please keep in mind that this is a Riad, which means all rooms have windows facing the inner courtyard - you may hear other guests. We love Riads, so this is OK for us. But if you are travelling with a small child, the child's cry will disturb other guests, so please consider your choice.

We returned to this Riad after 5 years. I think this explains everything. And this was a great decision. Beautiful building, nicely decorated rooms, beautiful inner courtyard with lot of plants. Lavish breakfast. Kind and helpful staff. Rooftop terrace with splendid view. Location is perfect: close to Supratours station and right in the old town's centre. And a bakery just opposite the entrance

Poor directions to the property. Once you arrive, you realize it is on a narrow street near a main pedestrian artery...a simple walk from where the airport taxis drop you off. But as our cell phone roaming was not working, it took us ages to find it.

Abundant, homemade breakfasts. Size of our room (we booked the 3-bed option). Sunning terraces. Friendliness of staff. Having a small refrigerator to store beverages. The hot water in the shower. Wonderful choice for Essaouira!!!

We were greeted by the manager, Ayoub, who served us freshly made mint tea and a plate of delicious local pastries on our arrival, and was very helpful whenever we needed assistance or questions answered. Each morning, we were served a lovely breakfast in the rooftop breakfast room by Fatima. We would definitely stay at Riad Arambys again.

Lovely, clean, family-owned riad in a central location with comfortable beds, delicious breakfasts and charming, helpful hosts.

CASH ONLY payment for the entire stay - very expensive to get cash out as a tourist, if your stay costs >2000dh, you’ll have to withdraw multiple times, costing potentially €15 in ATM fees - get a card machine please!

Beautiful rooms, good location, lovely breakfast lady and good food!

Great place! Highly recommend. Wonderful staff and perfect location.

The only downside to life in a Riad is the lack of sound proofing. Our room boarded the narrow alleyway and one night in particular was very noisy but that’s not the fault of the Riad. Thankfully I had earplugs. Only a bit of a problem as we’d specifically come to relax.

Breakfast was amazing. Omelette cooked to order, warm fresh bread, fresh fruit and avocado. The family who own and run the Riad were wonderful. So helpful and accommodating.

No complaints!

They couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. Perfect medina to enjoy Essaouira from, breakfast was great and room was lovely. Really made you feel at home.

An oasis of calm. Superlative service and hospitality during our entire stay from the staff. The rooms were in keeping with the riad with lovely artwork adorning the walls. The breakfasts were homely with super coffee, jams and bread. The terrace is a great sunspot with great views of the city. One of our party had an unfortunate accident in the city and Ayoub was amazing in looking after her.
