This charming riad was the perfect introduction to Essaouira. From the friendly and welcoming staff who were always happy to help to the room and shower (hot! powerful!) to the delicious and filling breakfast - I had a fantastic time and would recommend this riad to anyone looking for a really homely place to stay. They were booked up for the remainder of my stay otherwise I would have returned! Thank you to Nora for the tips on navigating the Medina and to the breakfast staff for finding me a hairdryer!££

Everything was excellent.

Delicious traditional Moroccan breakfast food! The location of the Riad was very easy to find, right next to the main street where all the shops are. The Riad is very quiet despite from the busy street. The room was very spacious, we had the 2nd floor room, big bed, private bathroom. Very comfortable bed, towels included, a big spacious area to leave your belongings. Very nice terrace, unfortunately it rained and hailed while we stayed there, thus not having the possibility to enjoy it, but pretty nonetheless. The lady at the check-in was super delightful, she gave us full on tips to visit in Essaouira during our stay. Must-sees and points of interest.

No soap for the bathroom. The fact that the light next to the bed could not be plugged in at the same time while charging your phone.

I stayed two nights. It's very centrally located in the Medina - close to all the things a tourist would want if only staying one, two or three nights. It's just off a big, highly touristed street, but a little way down an alley, so nice and quiet. The riad has a very calm, Old World feel. My room was perfectly clean and nicely decorated with woolen carpets and woolen curtains. It had a sort of Moroccan country style vibe. Simple, but very solid, clean and good quality. (I looked under my bed. Spotlessly clean). Nora and other staff members were very nice. I was very pleased with the experience.

Breakfast, staff are really very friendly and helpful, MS Noura gave us a map and informed us about too much helpful information which helped us spend a great time and pass through great experiences. MR. Abdrahim received us upon arrival and helped us with language and gave us immediately the room whuch we reserved . Location is more than wonderful in the heart of Essouira the old town . Definitely would recommend the Riad, full of amazing origonal decorations.

Nothing

Very lovely staff that make the stay very enjoyable and easy. Nothing is too much trouble and they are friendly and welcoming. We extended our stay as they were so nice. The room is what you would expect and it is very Moroccan.

No air con. If you are planning on visiting at a warm time of the year then manage your expectations. You can hear the call to prayer as it is inside the medina walls but this is all part of the experience. The was also a 🐓 that liked to sing in the morning…. Again probably would get that everywhere inside the medina walls.

This was the best Riad I stayed in during my time in Morocco! The customer service from Nora was absolutely amazing. She was so friendly, helpful, intelligent and knowledgable about the area. She made me feel at home and helped create such a warm and welcoming atmosphere in the riad. The room was very spacious and comfortable so I was extremely happy. The interior of the riad was beautiful. And when I wanted to change the bread heavy Moroccan breakfast to eggs, they were very happy to help. I can't recommend this place enough - a big THANK YOU to Nora and the team!

Everything was great!

I recently stayed at Riad Chakir Mogador , and my experience was absolutely wonderful. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated, providing a perfect blend of traditional charm and modern comfort. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to assist with a smile Overall, everything was perfect, and I had a fantastic time. I highly recommend Riad Chakir Mogador to anyone visiting the Essaouira

Excellent price/quality ratio - it's not luxury accommodation but the rooms were very clean and comfortable. The staff was kind and always ready to help - it was a pleasure to chat with them when coming in the hotel, and they helped us organise a quad ride and our transportation to the airport. The riad is in the centre of the Medina, just off one of the main streets, and it feels safe to come back at night.

Riad Chakir is in the perfect location, right in the Medina, but also east to get in and out. The staff are so friendly and were quick to offer help in booking a taxi to the airport and also printing our boarding passes. The Riad itself is so beautiful, with so many intricate details and decorative elements as a feast for the eyes. The breakfast is delicious as was the mint tea on arrival.

Room was ideal for what we wanted, 2 single beds with our own bathroom and shower facilities. All were clean. Riad in a great location, with the central Medina, shops, restaurants and the beach front/ surfing hire shops all within walking distance. Nice breakfast provided: Bread, pancakes, pan au chocolat and dips (honey, marmalade), coffee and orange juice. This was served on the bottom floor where there is a dining/lounge area and atrium cielling, with all of the rooms situated off of this on the floors above. Nora and Karim were particularly helpful, easy to contact before our stay through booking.com to answer our questions. They also printed out our plane boarding passes and safely stored our luggage on our day of departure (check out was at midday but our flight wasn't until the evening). Would definitely recommend and stay here again :)
