Great stay in the medina of Essaouira. Comfortable, quiet, nice aesthetics, friendly staff and nice (simple but good) breakfast. Youssef helped us arrange a private transfer from Marrakesh and to Taghazout, which was very convenient and a comparable price to renting a car.

Our stay at the Riad Emotion was absolutely fabulous, we would have loved to stay longer! The owners are a super nice couple from France that moved to Essaouira years ago and created a beautiful, modern Riad in the hard of the Medina. Everything in this Riad is beautiful, from the furniture, to the ceiling and floor, to the books, music and light - such a perfect attention to detail, it's an environment where you truly want to stay and enjoy! The rooms are super nice, spacious, comfortable and there you will find water, cookies and dates. The breakfast is delicious, served on the rooftop terrace, once again in a beautiful setting. Thank you to the owners for such a wonderful stay!!

Great value for money and design! I don't think that there is another property in Essaouira that matches the quality (comfort, decor, convenience of location, breakfast and staff) and price of this place. Absolutely recommend! Including the hammam!!! :)

Absolutely the most beautiful hotel with amazing design and decor, incredible bed, so luxurious and comfortable you felt like a sultan stepping into the room and being in it. The bathroom was stunningly beautiful too. Amazing bathtub and sink. The hammam, spa and massage was wonderful, and the restaurant, Riad and rooftop (with sea view) fantastic. Lovely airflow through the rooms, luxurious long curtains flowing with the breeze over our bed, Mumtaz Mahal is a place you want to spend a lifetime in. And the staff are so LOVELY! Especial thanks to Nouhaila at reception for her warm, helpful, gorgeous personality and service, and her lovely colleague on the other day at reception too. The place was spotless so huge thanks to the cleaning staff as well for making our stay so wonderful.
