Fodor's Expert Review Riad Al Madina
9, rue Attarine, Essaouira, Marrakesh-Safi, Morocco
This beautiful 18th-century riad is wrapped around a stone courtyard with a trickling fountain. Due to its size, the property offers sunlight that many other places lack, and greenery tumbles down from the balconies above, creating a magical ambience. Standard guest rooms are comfortable, with an increasing scale of elegance and space for suites. The restaurant and terraces are also lovely, with low arches and pressed-tin lamps providing atmosphere. The hotel has its own hammam, which can be used by nonguests, too (packages can include hammam, exfoliation, and a clay wrap).
PROS
- sun-filled rooms and patio
- in-house hammam
- central location
CONS
- can feel very crowded
- rooms can be cramped
- gets busy with groups
