里亞德康巴萊特酒店(Riad Chbanate)

Sehr schöner, gepflegter und sauberer Riad der uns mit super freundlichem Personal begeistert hat. Am Abend wurde uns ein Hotelangestellter angeboten, der uns zu unserem Restaurant in der Altstadt begleitet hat und uns auch wieder abgeholt hatte, damit wir uns nicht verlaufen würden. Für Marokkanische Verhältnisse sehr gutes Frühstück. Lauschiges Kaminfeuer. In Essaouira jederzeit gerne wieder.

Experiência extraordinária. O quarto super amplo, o banheiro enorme com banheira, no ultimo andar uma Jacuzzi. O café da manhã super gostoso com frutas, omelete, geleias, mel, crepes, pães, croissants e as pessoas na recepção e no restaurante extremamente gentis ! Merci :)

Just checked out earlier today and here's my unabashed review. I booked the Hayate Suite ( which is marketed online as the Romantic Suite ). Lovely room in general, it's on the second floor which I'd consider fortunate as lugging a heavy suitcase up to the further two higher floors would entail quite a work-out. Nondescript facade and entrance mask a truly charming interior cum courtyard area. Huge win on early impressions - the two gentlemen whom I encountered upon check-in were the epitome of genuine, warm and unpretentious hospitality ( 'Greggy' and Hisham - thank you gentlemen ). A big reason for me booking this Riad over the many other options in Essaouria was the fireplace feature in each room. On this count - this Riad did not disappoint - lovely crackling fire which Greggy caringly organised for me shortly after I arrived -- resulting in a much relished fireplace experience on a chilly day. Suite is generally well appointed - generous but albeit elongated bathroom layout made for good clever use of a tight space. That said, I didn't like the placement of the full-length mirror that they positioned directly in front of the toilet bowl - felt that was rather odd. Adequate wardrobe space and satisfactory bath towels. Bath and shower at the end of the bathroom was generously sized - with good water pressure. Room is not adequately sound proof and with my unit being literally just a few feet above the alleyway along which the Riad is situated, be prepared to hear the din of all that's happening with your daily Essaourian life below for pretty much most of the day. Hardworking carpenter right across my unit added to the overall noise levels though the consolation here is that most folks would have gone to bed by 10pm so was still able to get in a good night sleep ( comfy bed by the way ). Riad is manned on fairly lean staffing ( fully understand this point ) and on the evening after I arrived, the apparent sole chef was off-duty so was told then restaurant will not be serving any meals and instead, was advised to locate a place outside to secure my dinner - not ideal for me as I was tired and simply wanted to enjoy the tranquility of the place and have a simple meal without too much effort. Power points are adequate but they're not all located in the most logical places so one can't charge one's phone or other devices beside the bed but would need to walk up to the console in front of the bed or use other charging points around the room. Lastly, breakfast in the morning was a little disappointing - they start service at 0800 hr FYI so for those planning to have breakfast earlier - best to save some food the night prior if you're the sort who needs to start the day wth some fuel. Anyway, spread was quite limited, some uncut fruits and dry bread counter in one corner to get you started. The lady staffs in the kitchen were all pleasant enough and one of them came later to ask for my hot beverage order and choice of eggs. Nothing special -

This was a lovely, elegant place to stay during our visit to Essaouira. Just inside the medina walls with easy walking access to the heart of the medina and the oceanside skalas, bastions and beaches. After a day of exploring, how nice to sip on a glass of wine while soaking in the rooftop hot tub! The staff was very helpful when we needed recommendations for a restaurant on the night of our arrival. We loved the city and also enjoyed an excursion out of town to the Marjana argan oil cooperative.

We spent 2 nights at Riad Chbanate, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I corresponded frequently with Hicham beforehand, and he patiently answered all of my questions. The riad itself is beautiful. We enjoyed sitting in the courtyard. (Be sure to say hello to the turtle!) Our family used 3 rooms and all are different, with comfortable beds and unique bathtubs. The location is also great: on the edge of the medina, so that you can get to a car easily, but also easy to walk to the ocean or to shopping via the narrow medina streets. We didn't learn the names of all the staff, but they were all friendly and helpful. Breakfast is good, and the dinner that we had in their restaurant was also very tasty. Don't hesitate to book here. We would highly recommend it!

Le riad est magnifique, idéalement placé, au calme, à deux pas de l'animation et de la plage. Parking tout proche. Les chambres sont magnifiques et décorées avec soin. Les salles de bain splendides. Le personnel au top. Petits dej et diner excellents.

Nous étions dans la suite panoramique et le calme, la vue, la chambre et la SdB furent parfaites. Rien a dire, séjour excellent Petit déjeuner copieux et service impeccable, le tout dans la médina mais facile d’accès juste sous les remparts.

Riad de charme calme, propre et élégant, un personnel charmant et attentionné, un petit déjeuné copieux et varié, de grandes chambres bien décorées

Nous avons passé 2 nuits extraordinaires dans ce magnifique Riad, parfaitement placé dans la médina, il a un charme fou, typique, magnifiquement restauré, servi par des gens qui prennent vraiment leur travail à cœur, un grand merci au formidable GREGUI qui nous préparé une table au coin du feu somptueuse pour notre diner, la cuisinière qui nous a concocté un couscous que ne ne sommes pas près d'oublier, enfin notre chambre de rêve que nous avons adoré, nous avons aimé tous les riads que nous avons fait pendant notre périple mais celui ci est notre préféré.
