I had a fantastic stay - the manager was so kind and helpful and the location was fantastic. I worked from the central area 2 of the days I was there, and the wifi worked really well. Also, as a solo traveler it was a good place to meet people. Highly recommend!

A perfect stay in the heart of Essaouira I can't recommend this riad highly enough. Tucked away in the medina yet peaceful and calm, it offered the perfect blend of comfort, charm, and authentic Moroccan hospitality. Every detail was thoughtfully designed — from the beautifully decorated rooms to the rooftop terrace with stunning views of the sea and city. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive throughout our stay. We felt not like guests, but like part of a family. Breakfast each morning was a highlight: fresh fruit, warm msemen, homemade jams, and mint tea served with a smile. The location is ideal — a short walk to the beach, the port, the souks, and all the best restaurants and cafés. Yet once inside the riad, it feels like a tranquil oasis away from the bustle. We’ve stayed in many places across Morocco, but this riad truly stands out for its atmosphere, warmth, and attention to detail. We’ll definitely be back.

We were amazed by the beautiful place that is Riad Yanitri. It's honestly a little paradise! Perfect for a relaxed and fun time out. The rooms were very clean, the staff extremely welcoming and friendly. Also there is a spectacular petanque court. One of the most beautiful accomodations we've stayed at. Thank you :)

Beautiful modern yet traditional place with excellent service from reservation all the way throughout the stay to check-out. Staff are amazing without exception. Excellent breakfast, with various hot food options to choose from, served on the roof top with distant sea-view. Fireplace in the room lit on cold evenings. Comfortable beds, smart and chic room layout, hot shower with good water pressure. For people sharing a room: the bathroom door may not block sight nor sound. WiFi available throughout the property. Pets allowed (check ahead for surcharge); you may be lucky to meet the cute resident dog and cat. The Riad is on a narrow alley inside the pedestrian-only old town (Medina) and you can thus hear what is going on around you in the hotel and in the streets. Call ahead for assistance with parking just outside the Medina walls.

Hands down one of the loveliest, pint-sized riads where we stayed in the Essaouira area. A good number of the places to hang your hat near Essaouira are owned and run by haughty French colonials and we’ve been very disappointed over and over again about how poorly and disrespectfully many of these proprietors treat their Moroccan staff. This was definitely NOT the case here, we are happy to say! It felt like one big family. Daniel the proprietor is an absolute doll. An utterly charming and genuinely a good egg. Kudos all around! Be sure to go for the delicious seafood dinner while you’re here. We will be back and bring our friends and fam!

Unique riad and a great host! Simo was in contact with us from the start and welcomed us with tea at the roof terrace with a view to the ocean waves. The riad is decorated with Simos own art which makes it an unique experience. We loved our stay and would come back again. Simos tips for places to go and eat or drink were also perfect - make sure to ask him.

Beautiful, very comfort and calm place to stay. You can feel that the owners thought about your experience and carefully selected each single detail in the room and riad. I will remember this place and definitely come back when in Essaouira. Wish the owners best of luck and kind and intelligent guests like they are themselves.

    A beautiful, traditional Riad which was full of authentic typical Morocco decor and lots of lovely green plants. Very nicely done rooms that were colorful and cosy. I'd absolutely want to come back and stay here again. The staff were very friendly and gave lots of great information too. The breakfast was delicious too, and plenty of it :)

    Very friendly and helpful staff. Despite being located in a busy street of the Medina, when the doors of this riad opens, the noise stays out. The courtyard has some jungle vibes with beautiful plants hanging from the top floor. Breakfast is simple but fresh and good.

    Amazing riad in a very central yet quiet location of Essaouira. Very tastefully designed with plenty of local art pieces. The owner is very friendly and makes you feel at home even when you are staying there for one night only (my case). Special kudos to the traditional moroccan breakfast on the terrace!
