What a hidden gem! But the real treasure here is the people. From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcome—no request was too much, and every interaction was met with a warm smile. The breakfast was delicious, the rooms beautifully designed and impeccably clean. Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat or the perfect starting point to explore Essaouira and its surroundings, this is the place to be. Highly recommended!

The accommodation was clean and pleasant. The service is nice and always ready to help. The bonus was a beautiful view from perhaps the highest terrace in the city and a great breakfast.

A true gem in the middle of the medina. The riad dar les sirens deserves an impressive 5 stars with its beautiful decor and surprising quiet atmosphere. It is a women’s led riad and empowers the local girls to have a good job. For that matter I think it’s very safe for solo female traveler’s passing by Essaouira too. As for the quality of beds The mattresses have a topper, and are the most comfortable we have slept in on our Morocco road trip. My husband and I enjoyed the Breakfast every morning too, it was top! However, beyond anything else we must emphasise specifically the manager of this place, who provided us a very special hosting! Amila, who is sure to greet you with a great smile every morning, will fulfil every wish you have. Her and her kids made this riad feel like home. We loved it so much that upon our first night we cancelled a different riad we had booked after this one, in order to stay longer. Amilas cooking is also excellent, so be sure to ask her for cooking classes if you are interested and enjoy her food as she offers this too! When I told her that I loved a nice fire place she made sure to gift me every morning a breakfast by the fire. This alone was for me so special. Book this place with confidence, you will recharge in this quiet place in the middle of the medina.

A beautiful, traditional Riad which was full of authentic typical Morocco decor and lots of lovely green plants. Very nicely done rooms that were colorful and cosy. I'd absolutely want to come back and stay here again. The staff were very friendly and gave lots of great information too. The breakfast was delicious too, and plenty of it :)

Very friendly and helpful staff. Despite being located in a busy street of the Medina, when the doors of this riad opens, the noise stays out. The courtyard has some jungle vibes with beautiful plants hanging from the top floor. Breakfast is simple but fresh and good.

Amazing riad in a very central yet quiet location of Essaouira. Very tastefully designed with plenty of local art pieces. The owner is very friendly and makes you feel at home even when you are staying there for one night only (my case). Special kudos to the traditional moroccan breakfast on the terrace!
