The location is great, right in the centre, with a good breakfast and clean comfortable rooms. Said and Abdo are super friendly and helpful. Ask them for anything and they will go out of their way to try and help. We enjoyed the fact that it is a new Riad with modern, yet traditional decoration and very clean and well looked after. We are happy to recommend this Riad

We stayed for 1 night. Property is really nice, an old house beautifully transformed by Simo and his brother. You can easily see how much work they put into it. The stayed was lovely. Bed is very comfortable. The best is the terrace with it’s view and the breakfast. These 2 combined makes the perfect combo. Simo was very helpful, giving us directions and advices of what to visit and where to eat. thank you and good luck!

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.

This place was definitely the highlight of our Morocco trip. The hotel is located within the Medina and yet it is in an absolutely quiet neighborhood. The loudest noise you will hear during the night is the distant rumble of the waves hitting the shore way below. All technical equipment is working as it should (lights, hot water, heater, no squeaking beds or doors...) and the rooms are impeccably clean. The staff will go out of their way to accomodate all your wishes with a big smile. A very good breakfast is served on the sunny roof. And do not miss the delicious dinner... We'll be back!

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!
