"Breakfast was amazing and there’s always a slight variation each day. It’s such a calm and peaceful place to stay. The Riad is well maintained and stunning."

"We enjoyed the place so much we extended our stay. Initially the parking dilemma made us sceptical because it was quite a distance from the accommodation and required parking costs and porterage costs that we weren't told about. Eventually we booked in and couldn't fault the place and its authentic location."

"I recently had the pleasure of staying at Riad Mumtaz Mahal in Essaouira from June 4th to June 7th, 2026. The experience was fantastic, and the Riad provided the perfect home base for exploring the city. I cannot recommend it highly enough for anyone visiting Essaouira."

"Cet emplacement est idéal, si vous voulez visiter le port aller dans les souk, et avoir des petits restos à proximité, tout se fait très bien à pied. Le personnel était très chaleureux et bienveillant . Toutefois, nos bémols sont les suivants : l’activité nocturne est incessante. Malheureusement, nous n’avons pas réussi à bien dormir les deux nuits, car le bruit est constant que ce soit les jeunes qui jouent à l’extérieur jusqu’à 1h du matin, suivie, de la musique, à fond de train, et que dire du chien qui hurle sa vie toute la nuit . Nous avions beau avoir des bouchons pour dormir, le bruit était trop intense et ce peu importe la chambre, car nos amis dormaient dans une autre chambre, et c’était la même chose pour eux. De plus, il n’y a pas d’air climatisé, ni de ventilation fourni. Les fenêtres n’ont pas de moustiquaire donc si vous voulez avoir un courant d’air vous devez ouvrir les fenêtres ce qui fait que les moustiques rentrent. Finalement, nous avons eu le malheur de trouver une Coquerel dans la cuisine. Donc en gros le gros l’emplacement et la vue est idéale si c’est ce que vous recherchez."
"L'endroit est exceptionnel, tout est impeccable. La nourriture Vegan, juste wow ! Fraicheur des produits! Les filles et leurs chiens sont adorables. J'ai juste envie d'y retourner et de passer plus de temps avec eux. Merci pour tout."
"Riad Rafeef is a very interesting riad, and the decoration was cool to see. The management had put in a few years to renovate the place and you can definitely see the effort and thought put into the design. As with all of our stays in Morocco, the staff here was exceptional and very helpful. I am very grateful to the staff and the gentleman who had welcomed us, answered all questions throughout the stay, and helped us with our heavy luggage (sorry!)."
"Good quality apartment hotel, helpful staff and plentiful breakfast. Also had a good dinner. Only downside is the surrounding environment. Half finished/abandoned building works. Normal for Morocco but its a shame.
Be aware the place is 2.5 km from the Medina. 35 min walk (usually a cooling Atlantic breeze) or 10 MAD petit taxi"

"We stayed early August and loved this hotel. The renovations are beautiful and this hotel will be amazing once it is all completed. There was some noise around the pool deck but it was manageable. I really loved all the palm plants and the pool area is lovely. This hotel is in a great location and you can easily walk around and see the sites. Highly recommend! We really enjoyed our time and the staff are helpful."
