Traditional Riad in the heart of the Medina
Centered in the heart of the Medina. Very warm welcome on arrival. Beautiful traditional Riad feel from when you walk through the door. Be prepared for many steps to climb or be sure to ask for a room on lower floors. Extremely spacious room. Nicely laid out. Traditional bathroom though no actual shower, only a shower head laying in the bath and no shower curtain which proved awkward and inconvenient. Exceptionally noisy from early morning with other guests and music playing. Room doesn’t block much sound out. All in all relatively good value for money, great location and very friendly staff

A lovely place to stay. Just what you’d expect from a Riad. Our room was cool and calm with high ceilings and a lovely four post bed. The reception/communal area was tranquil with a bubbling fountain. Breakfast was served on the Terrance with rooftop views over Essaouira. The perfect stay.

The Riad is great, the location is good, staff is fantastic, specially Fatma. When you walk in you feel like you are transported to a different place, it’s quiet, peaceful and well decorated. The “tradicional “ Marocan breakfast on the terrace is marvellous. Would higher recommend and would stay again.

You can’t beat breakfast on the roof looking at the sea and listening to the birds. The room was comfortable and quiet. The rhiad was a combination of traditional Morocco and modern France.

Can't Fault It
The second time we've stayed here and just as good as we remembered. Les Terrasses is within the old town close to the ramparts and handy for the bazaar, the harbour, some excellent restaurants and the sea front with its sandy beaches and mile-long promenade. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the breakfasts, served in the sunshine on the roof-top terrace (even in February) can't be beaten. Tip: pack your jim-jams if going in the winter - it can be quite cold at night.

Clean, Calm riad inside the medina
I have statyed in this riad about 10 times - some rooms have a bathtub, and most rooms are very large. the rooftop terrace is a good place to read a book on the chair, and do some tanning. My only dissatisfaction is the breakfast. Recently it seems that that quality of breakfast has been lowered. I recall that some fruits and croissant used to be served, but this time only plain Moroccan bread was all. However, I recommend this place for all tourist, as this is very clean, and "clam" place even it's located in the medina.

Decent Riad in middle of city
Somewhat difficult to find unless you're with a local. Front desk people don't speak English. Room doors have locks but it's pretty easy to open them even when locked! Wifi is strong though and rooms are clean. There are also lots of restaurants and shops within walking distance.

Restful, traditional riad in a great location.
After a busy tour of Morocco, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this traditional riad. It has a peaceful atmosphere and is ideally situated in the heart of the old town. We were met on arrival and our cases taken to the riad by cart and up the stairs to our room. It has comfortable areas to read and relax in. Staff were friendly and helpful, especially the English-speaking husband who helped us when we needed medication from a chemist on a Sunday.
