The staff were very helpfull and friendly. We were given tips of things to do. And always met with a smile. The view was amazing

The beds were a bit hard. The room towards the sea was lovely, but as there was no air conditioning we had to have the window open and the noise was more than we expected.

As others have said, paying more for the mini-suite with sea view is worth it. Sleeping to the sounds of crashing waves is a rare treat, all the more because short of a villa, most other countries tend to put an un-openable window in such rooms. Bed is comfortable; housekeeping excellent. Bathroom is modern with Moroccan tiles; good water pressure.Staff at reception are professional and discreet – understated but top-notch service. Staff on terrace and at breakfast are friendly too but seem more inexperienced. Breakfast is not the sumptuous feast you might expect of a traditional riad, but then again, Mimouna is really more like a fully-fledged hotel that is architecturally Moroccan.

At this price point, replace the (understandably) rusted bathroom bin and some threadbare towels. Also did not appreciate one of the guys at reception being a bit fresh with me (not the young bespectacled gentleman – he was always kindly and welcoming) – if I ask for new Wifi codes because the previous ones have stopped working, I do not want to be told with a straight face, multiple times, that I cannot get new ones, as a joke. I am generally quite good-humoured about such 'jesting', but as a solo female traveller who looks young, I get quite enough of it walking through the streets and do not need it in a relatively expensive hotel.

I hosted a Moroccan Writing Retreat that started in Marrakesh and ended at Riad Mimouna in Essaouira. The property exceeded all of our expectations! Participants had their own spacious, private oceanfront suites. The restaurant and outdoor rooftop space had a panoramic view of The Atlantic Ocean and the Medina. We were near other restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, fishing boats, and the main square near the beach. We had a private dining room for a literary salon where each writer read her work. It was a GREAT choice for a group. None of us wanted to leave! At Southern Girl Gone Global you'll find videos of this property that can't be captured in photos or words.

The best thing about this riad was the view. It’s right next to the sea and you get great views from the windows, particularly the rooftop terrace and restaurant where breakfast is served each morning. It’s a huge riad, hotel size so not the place to go if you’re expecting a small boutique feel. The plus side of that is there’s reception staff available all the time and they were very helpful. It’s also very easy to find and the location is great for the medina and restaurants/bars there. It’s a little further from the beach though so maybe not the place to pick if your main aim is a beach holiday, though even so it’s only 15-20 min walk.

The room was a bit dated particularly the bathroom. but it was clean and plenty of hot water. We still had a very comfortable stay though.

Everything. Great location, stunning city. The view from our room was magical (directly over the city walls and on to the beach on 2 sides) and waking up to the sunrise and the sound of the sea was just dreamy. There's a lovely rooftop restaurant and outdoor space. The staff were so helpful and kind making our stay magical and perfect for a surprise proposal!

Nothing. I loved it all.

The location and the views were 10/10. The hosts Lubna, Hamza and Kareem were so welcoming and friendly 😊 The breakfast was plentiful, fresh and tasty. We will definitely be returning here again soon.

Bathroom was a bit dated. Could do with updating. Has an authentic feel though.

Great room! Excellent breakfast!

My only suggestions would be to provide more electrical outlets (for phones, batteries, laptops) and a couple of luggage racks so we don't have to put our open luggage on the floor or dresser or table or chair. We're in Morocco for a month so we each have a fairly packed suitcase. Other than those somewhat minor things, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend Riad Mimouna.

You know the feeling when something takes your breath away? That's the best way to describe this riad. Inside, it's a typical, compact, clean, and classic riad. But the view from the room is breathtaking, as is the view from the terrace and restaurant. An incredible place! Plus, comfortable beds, high-quality toiletries, delicious food, and impeccable service.

Everything was very good

The room with the view to the sea was awesome! Very nice to listen even to the sound of the waves below your window... Comfortable bed and clean room. Breakfast is served on the roof top where you can also relax and enjoy the panorama view. Very friendly employees and all in the bets stay during my time in Marocco!

Breakfast was served and not a buffet, but it was still a good variation,

The view was incredible, and the location of the Riad was in a great spot. It was centrally located and had incredible views from both the room and the rooftop restaurant and patio.

There were no robes or slippers in the room, which isn't a big deal, but would have been nice to have.
