Beautiful riad in what was once someone’s huge house. The rooms are big and there very nice sitting/reading rooms and patios guests can enjoy. The courtyard and pool was also very nice and would be great in warmer weather! The riad is located about a 10 minute walk to the medina and across the street from the ocean. There are several beachfront restaurants across the street and other options a short walk away. If you’re looking for a relaxing stay outside the bustle of the medina, Villa Quieta is a great option

Nice
I can’t understand all the rave reviews. This place is out of town with no restaurant or bar and all the surrounding restaurants were closed too. It is cold inside in the winter. My room was large and comfortable. I was given an upgrade l think to a suite. There was only heating in the bedroom so the sitting area and bathroom were very cold. Pool area is nice enough. Breakfast was ok but not amazing like l was expecting after reading the reviews. I left some things behind in the bathroom and when l rang several hours later they couldn’t find them which l thought was poor.

Great staff, old buliding
I want to start by saying the staff who work here are lovely - super nice and helpful. Every single one! My poor review is for the facilities. Everything needs care. It seems like they haven't replaced drapes, carpet or repaired things in a long time. It does seem like that's pretty much the state of all the hotels in town. It's pretty tired.

This hotel exceeded our expectations especially on quality and price ratio. The hotel is beautiful in its deco, open, spacey and airy. Lovely garden for resting and a good size swimming pool to cool down. The room was spacious and the beds very comfortable. Outside the room there is a seating lounging area marrocan style. The hotel is far enough from the medina to avoid the noisy but close enough for a nice walk.

This beautifully stylish hotel is set facing the beach and a 15-20 minutes walk from the Medina, which is good if you don't want to be right in the hustle and bustle but want access to it. The staff are excellent and really look at you. I was upgraded for my first night. Dry hotel.

An Oasis in Essaouira
Stayed for 3 nights and could have easily stayed longer. The staff are absolutely wonderful at this hotel. Made it feel more like a family stay than a hotel. Location is about 20 minute walk to 20dh taxi to the medina. Its an oasis of relaxation, especially after the hustle and bustle of Marrakech. There is no bar so if you want a poolside beverage, BYO or hop across the street to the beach bars. We stopped at a winery on the way in and they gladly chilled the wine we purchased and brought it out with some small snacks.

Lovely staff at this hotel, generous size room and lots of other lovely public spaces to relax. Would personally re-jig the pool area a little adding more umbrellas for shade (just two for seven sunbeds). Would also remove some tables and add extra sunbeds as hotel only serves breakfast at the moment and they take up valuable sunbathing space :) Breakfast was fabulous and all the staff are exceptional.
