Riad Raoud Rayhane

Chicago

Great location, and beautifully restored, with the lushest, prettiest atrium I've ever seen. Check in was oddly slow/complicated, and breakfast meh. The rooms were gorgeous but you can definitely hear what's going on in the atrium. The rooftop is just lovely. My friend had hammam here, which she said was fantastic.

The riad’s courtyard was lovely and so was Halima (at the reception), who was attentive to all our needs. We had to wait for our room (my bad, since I did not inform the riad about our arrival time) and Halima made sure we had some refreshments while waiting (mint tea and lovely pastries). The room itself was clean and had all the amenities needed. The riad is also very well-located - a stone’s throw from the city wall and ramparts, and from the fish souks. Just a few steps and you are in a main thoroughfare. 100% would recommend!

Lovely Riad, staff very friendly and helpful, dinner was incredible, hotel transfer was great and great value, room very clean and comfy. In a good area of the Medina close to lots of things and only a few minutes from the beach - recommend booking a larger room if possible

My wife and I are absolutely satisfied with our stay at Riad Raoud Rayhane, 
this is the best experience we have ever had. The host and staff are very humble and always making sure that all our needs are full-filled. The location is in the middle of the medina but the riad is an oasis of peace and tranquillity. Everything is soundproof and the air is always purified which is really nice to come back to after a long day outside. They also offer a lot of options inside the Riad you can do a massage, private hamam and much more. This riad is one of a kind. See you next time when we are in Essaouira. Lots of love!

Great location, wonderful roof terrace, Beautiful hotel, quiet, wonderfully decorated and lovely service from the lady on the front desk and the other ladies that worked there. Felt like a 5* hotel. There was some building work going on when we stayed so the proprietor gave us €16 discount on our room. There was a rooster in the yard next to our room but he got taken inside each night so he didn't wake us up at all while we were there. Card payments are not possible even if advertised, so bring cash. Fabulous stay, we will be back!

PROS - The location was good, and the facilities were clean and modern. The included breakfast was decent, good coffee. CONS - The receptionist was not very nice to us, nor was she readily available the morning we checked out, until a maid called her in (took 40 minutes for her to get there). And there was very little english spoken, compared to the other 3 riads we stayed at during this trip. We were waiting for the receptionist to print off our ryanair boarding passes, but she spent forever dealing with another man, until the maid ran down and complained that my travel companion's henna smeared a bit on a towel and a small corner of the bed sheet. The receptionist immediately scowled at us and demanded 30 euro to cover it. She never ended up printing our boarding passes. Thankfully we had 3 other riads with MUCH better service to make up for this one.

Great location, beautiful suite with the coolest zellige-tiled shower I've ever seen! Great breakfast too! Short walk to the main square and the Port, as well as to the battlements with nearby shops and restaurants.

This boutique riad is absolutely beautiful and so comfortable - the decor is a very chic modern take on traditional Moroccan style. The staff were very pleasant and helpful, and the breakfast was excellent. It is also in an excellent and very quiet location in the heart of the medina. Will definitely be back.

The location was perfect, many good restaurants just around the corner. The riad was absolutely beautiful! Our superior double room was quite small but really comfy and clean. There are a lot of sofas to hang around in the common areas. The breakfast was versatile including coffee, juice, wonderful bread, cream cheese and jams, fruit salad and a couple of alternating sweet treats such as crepes or pastries. Friendly staff who did not speak a lot of english but we did get by. Loved the cats!

This was our first time in Essaouira and I have to say that it was amazing. Taxi from the airport costs about £12 and it's easy enough to grab one once you leave the terminal. I'd recommend you also change some of your money at the airport as the exchange rate wasn't bad at all.Our stay at this property didn't start very well as it was quite difficult to find without using any online maps. But this isn't something we can blame the owners for as we didn't have any directions to use. When we managed to find the property we were surprised how beautiful the interior was. Our host was very friendly and treated us to a nice pot of fresh mint tea and sweets on our arrival. The room itself was stunning and it seemed pretty newly decorated. What we really liked were personal touches like shampoos, towels changed every day and the room was always serviced during the day.Unfortunately we didn't try their restaurant for dinner, but the breakfast itself was lovely. It changes daily and we were always satisfied with the food. Fresh orange juice is served every morning and you can't beat having breakfast on the rooftop under blue skies. Luckily we had the opportunity to try their spa and our treatment was very relaxing. I'd like to thank the owner and the staff for taking care of us in Essaouira and we wish to come back soon. Friendliness of the locals was a big part of our experience in Morocco as we were expecting people to be a bit pushy. Luckily we were completely wrong.

United Kingdom

We arrived thinking the pictures had been photoshopped and it could not look that good.Upon arrival we were stunned at just how much attention to detail for design in this riad. It looked as if it had only just opened and was perfectly clean.The staff went above and beyond, they were amazingly friendly and made us feel very welcome for our anniversary. The room was slightly on the small side, but we knew that from the pictures. Besides you dont go to morroco to spend it inside a hotel room, measuring how many square metres you have.The room was super clean, with a great shower and a very firm but super comfortable big bed.Breakfast every morning was fantastic.The staff speak little english but that doesnt stop them from delivering great enthuasiam and care for their guests.There is no pool, but the beach is a very short walk away. Lots of great resturants close by.We actually paid alot more on a riad that had a pool in marrakech only to be dissappointed as it could not measure up to this hidden gem.Highly recommended for couples and families. Great value for money.

Amsterdam

We had a great stay with the whole family one floor was entirely ours. The host a nice lady had everything super clean and beautifully furnished. Also a great service with breakfast and teatime at the rooftop. All members of the family liked the stay even the kids. This one is on our top 3 for next time Incha Allah

Words truly cannot begin to do this Riad justice. I have stayed here multiple times and will continue to do so, every time I am in Essaouira.I will start by saying that the staff (Halima, specifically) could not be more kind, generous and professional. She deserves a special "thank you" for all the warmth that she adds to Riad Rayhane. Everyone has made me feel completely at home each and every time I return. The rooms are spotlessly clean along with the bathrooms and common spaces. The rooms are all soundproof and very quiet during the night. The Riad is humidity proof, which is WONDERFUL in Essaouira! The showers all have endless hot water with great pressure. The hammam and massage room are comfortable and elegant. There is a common space on each floor of the Riad (4 total), which is really great for groups. I highly recommend making dinner reservations here for at least one night (if not all) during your stay. The menu is extensive and has a variety of choices (wonderful Moroccan dishes and has vegan and vegetarian options too). The food was fabulous- to say the least. Breakfast was always a treat; very well-rounded and wholesome. Every meal that we ate at the Riad was prepared beautifully.As I stated previously, I have stayed here with my husband, our family (two small children under the age of 3) and two other times with groups of Americans (24 persons+). Every single stay has been worth every penny (dirham). If you're traveling alone, with your family or a large group- this is your place. Riad Rayane is a true example of excellent hospitality!

We had the pleasure of spending three nights here on our month long Morocco trip. Very clean and comfortable. The interior design is stunning! Staff are very helpful. Dined at the riad one evening, and food was good. Would not hesitate to stay here on a future visit.

Cowwarr

This elegant Riad was very comfortable, clean with amazing staff who went out of there way to assist you. Its well placed in the medina to he out in the hustle and bustle once out of the door. But ever so peaceful place to return too after busy day wandering. The room size adequate, clean, comfortable beds , hot water plentiful. Best Wifi have had in Morocco. Simple tasty breakfast. Certainly will stay here next time. Dined out for meals as we enjoyed walking the medina at night and exploring the shops.

Marrakech

Having stayed here on one previous occassion we were so impressed by the service we booked two nights for our tour group of seven people. The Riad is close to the main centre but tucked away in a side lane creating a peaceful and safe environment. The riad's decor is charming, stylish, with a gentle calm soft grey palette. It is very clean and the staff are excellent. Halima the manager was one of the main reasons we also returned. Her smile and gentle nature made us feel so welcome. There is a lovely Hammam, the breakfast was excellent and our room and all the other bedrooms were perfectly presented. Water is provided, dressing gowns, fluffy white towels and tv.Be sure you get a room with a window.

Abu Dhabi

Beautiful riad..absolutely love the decor..bright and airy. The suite we had was elegantly furnished and sleeps 4 but there was just us 2. Everyone at the riad was helpful and kind especially Sharifa at the reception.

Nothing was too much for the staff at this Riad! They were wonderful - we were celebrating a friends birthday and they even made a cake! We were presented with mint tea on arrival and everything was a pleasure during our stay here. Very central in the old town and exquisite interiors. Will be coming back for sure!

Beautiful, very well located in the Medina and a short walk to the beach and harbour. All staff was so friendly and helpful. The Riad has its own spa and massage facility at a very affordable price and the massage was a delight. I can’t speak highly enough of this place, just loved it !

The location was good close to everything needed, the decoration and the colors contrast, the bed quality in room "Malaika", the calm at the property, the living rooms where you can sit by yourself and enjoy a lonely moment reading or checking your emails etc..
