Traveling with college aged daughter and had one night in beautiful Essaouria so chose this riad based on recommendation from owner of riad we were staying at in Marrakesh. Booked beginning of October through booking.com and when I emailed riad week before trip to confirm, both email addresses for this place were either not found or inbox was full. When... More

Riad Asmitou is a nicely renovated riad in the middle of the Medina in Essaouira. The service was exceptional and breakfast good (typical Moroccan, but also with yugurt and fresh orange juice). The decoration is stylish, with each room different from the others. The location could not be better, just 1-2 minutes walk from the main street of the Medina.... More

We stayed here for one night arriving later in the evening. There was confusion about our booking, we had booked a family room for 4 and on arrival we were told they did not have any family rooms! Unfortunately the night porter spoke no english and even the day staff had trouble explaining the situation. Good location but many stairs... More

Just inside the medina walls, this riad is in a fairly good location and the directions on te website are fabulous. The rooms are clean, although there was a few ants in the bathroom. The breakfast was huge and quite lovely. The Internet was a bit sporadic, but it seems to be the norm throughout Morocco. My only complaint is... More

The warm welcome I received as soon as I arrived at Riad Asmitou, together with a cup of mint tea, made me feel relaxed and at home from the moment I arrived. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful and happy to assist with any requests. The evening meals were excellent, delicious traditional dishes. All of the sites... More

Great Riad; very good value for dollar. Fantastic front desk manager that speaks fluent English and is only too helpful to make your stay in Essouria as easy as possible. Located in back streets of the old town, yet easily accessible. When making reservation, request a back room, as front room/corner faces onto local street watering hole (that operates 24/7).... More

We stayed at this Riad for two days in July. Service was excellent and staff were very friendly. We stayed in the Savanne suite which exceeded all of our expectations. It was very spacious and clean. The riad is located in the Medina close to both the beach and the Supratours bus station. All in all a very pleasant stay... More

After a couple of days in Marrakech, my partner and I descended onto Riad Asmitou to find a lovely warm welcome in a clean and visually attractive Riad. The Riad is located about a 10 minute walk from the bus station and coast line, however, this is based upon knowing exactly where you are going. Be prepared to wander the... More

A lovely welcoming riad in the middle of the medina. We had the Kenya room at the top which was very light, airy and clean. The top terrace is great for sunbathing but unfortunately there were no mattresses for the wooden sunbeds so slightly uncomfortable. Breakfast on the terrace was a delight. Essaouira is a lovely fishing village, full of... More
