Beautiful clean Riad with an inhouse restaurant. The Riad is nicely restored and clean. The staff are very helpful and friendly. We had a large upper story room, which had all required amenities and like all Riads had a lots of steps to the room. Cannot find any faults from.our stay. ##### Sean Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nina Jan 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Most beautiful Riad.

We loved the location, the staff was friendly and helpful, the breakfast was great, the room was clean, there was hot water and air conditioning… overall an excellent Riad. ##### Thomas Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Nov 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Coastal town Great Riad This is a lovely riad within the walls of the old medina. So expect to find your way from the roadside to the front door. Very helpful staff and lovely breakfasts. We will come back if we are in the city again. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alyssa May 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We had an exceptional experience staying with Ryad Chbanate.

It is a short walk to the centre where you will find plenty of restaurants and shops, including the souks. The riad is very clean, comfortable and the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. The rooms are spacious and fully equipped with robes, slippers, toiletries, water, coffee machine and air con. Breakfast was delicious, with home cooked pastries and freshly squeezed orange juice. We ate in the restaurant one evening and the food was home cooked to order. Again it was delicious as well as beautifully prepared and presented. Overall we would highly recommend Riad Chbanate for your stay in Essaouira. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4352E6EBFFB947F64530752D59BD7F36949E1BD11715686867659.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8D1695227542505DC9A39D09AC2AE36100D36A7F1715686866761.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/CEE16B1558575BB77C4BF50D13530B79DEFB44891715686866957.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/07335D62BA6EA565458DCE1FE126D7D3174842811715686866961.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### R Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason Nov 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff very helpful to find a local guide after our guide cancelled last minute ##### Jason Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amir Oct 7, 2025 Liked: Amenities Eine fantastische Unterkunft mitten in der Medina - ein wirklich tolles Erlebnis!
