Offering a restaurant, Riad Baladin is located in Essaouira. An array of activities can be enjoyed on site or in the surroundings, including surfing. Free WiFi access is available in all areas.

Each room here will provide you with a patio view. Featuring a shower or a bath, private bathroom also comes with a hairdryer. Extras include an outdoor seating area and bed linen. I left my heart in Essaouira because of this facility and its people mainly. Essaouira is a small town but how come this stay for this budget can turn into an amazing experience. - At the first check-in Felix welcomed me and gave an information not only about riad but also about the city and things to do, places to eat on a map. This might be normal for most travelers but in my trips to Morocco, this happened for the first time to me at check in. - I reached to my room, it was more beautiful than in pictures! Of course it is small for 1 person single bed but i couldnt resist to take thousands of pictures of it. - Thankfully Felix was available and at Riad, he arranged me tours and restaurants. His neighbors and riad's restaurant all of them were flawless. - You can never find family style accommodation and that much professionally taken care. I hope the owners see the teams 5 star effort. - Then i met the rest of the team, Esma, was super nice and very knowladgable person. She helped me with recommending real good coverlet too. And most importantly none of the team seemed like they are trying to sell something. They were just giving the name and location of the place and letting me go. - In one of our conversations with Felix, he realized how much i would love to see local life. And he kindly asked me if i would like to come with him to join him at the volunteer event he is running to. That was the best decision i made to join him. I cannot thank enough for being such a great friend during my stay besides being such a great manager of the facilities. - when it comes to the hotel, you must experience it. The highest quality argan soap in the bathrooms, highest quality of bed and towels, cleanliness, a perfect taste of design, and a huge terrace where you can watch sunset is everything. You dont even need to look for another place to experience sunset. - Breakfast was creme de la creme...

The Riad Malaika Hotel is located in the heart of the Essaouira Médina, just 50 metres from the beach. The hotel offers beauty and body treatments and free Wi-Fi access.

The spacious guest rooms have a traditional, oriental decoration, and each has a private bathroom. Riad Malaïka is in an excellent location, a peaceful haven within walking distance of everywhere. Our hosts Abdullah and Hakim were knowledgeable, friendly and professional, warmly welcoming us and facilitating our stay, including any questions we had. The included breakfast varied every day, and each was amazing. We arranged washing clothes without hassle (thank you Abdullah), and a porter's assistance with our bags to the Supratours bus terminal at a reasonable rate of 40 dh (thanks Hakim). The room was cosy, but elegant, with towels/sheets/complementary water replenished daily. The rooftop is a gorgeous place to relax. As others mention, the food is lovely, and we enjoyed our dinner. Thank you for the lovely stay!
