We werden met een karretje voor onze bagage opgehaald bij onze parkeerplaats omdat je in de medina niet met de auto erbij kan. Alhoewel het een klein stukje lopen is is dit een heel fijne service. Eenmaal aangekomen in de riad werden we warm ontvangen door de receptioniste. Er is een heerlijk dakterras met een jacuzzi waar we in alle privacy gebruik van konden maken. De kamer was superfijn en het bed ook. Heel luxe. Maar het beste van alles is dat ze mijn paspoort (en geld) binnen Marokko nog hebben kunnen verzenden met de post, omdat ik deze was vergeten op de kamer.

We enjoyed 3 nights at this beautiful riad, they were so welcoming and kind. We had a light dinner the first night as we were tired from our drive. They were happy to accommodate us and the food was delicious. We had the panoramic room that had a lot of stairs to get to it but the views and privacy were great. We would recommend this place when staying in Essaouira. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4024E7E8E1463C476FB846425452E83E5B3B4BCA1731085952366.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/A6C6BE34C3EE73D7A0F1A7FC7FCA2828B3C640711731085951973.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Katrine Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristinn 5 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Our stay at Riad Chbanate was absolutely amazing.

The.open fire was lovely for a chilly January and the staff were also very warm and helpful. Only a few minutes walk from the taxi dropoff too. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 2 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Coastal town Great Riad This is a lovely riad within the walls of the old medina.

It is a short walk to the centre where you will find plenty of restaurants and shops, including the souks. The riad is very clean, comfortable and the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. The rooms are spacious and fully equipped with robes, slippers, toiletries, water, coffee machine and air con. Breakfast was delicious, with home cooked pastries and freshly squeezed orange juice. We ate in the restaurant one evening and the food was home cooked to order. Again it was delicious as well as beautifully prepared and presented. Overall we would highly recommend Riad Chbanate for your stay in Essaouira. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4352E6EBFFB947F64530752D59BD7F36949E1BD11715686867659.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8D1695227542505DC9A39D09AC2AE36100D36A7F1715686866761.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/CEE16B1558575BB77C4BF50D13530B79DEFB44891715686866957.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/07335D62BA6EA565458DCE1FE126D7D3174842811715686866961.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### R Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrea 2 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Non voglio scrivere una recensione ##### Andrea Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Doreen 1 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness ##### Doreen Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Jaal Riad Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Les-Jardins-De-LAgdal-Hotel-Spa.h4366459.Hotel-Information) > > [Riad Les Oliviers & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Riad-Les-Oliviers-Spa.h2805157.Hotel-Information) > > [Mövenpick Hotel Mansour Eddahbi Marrakech](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Movenpick-Hotel-Mansour-Eddahbi-Marrakech.h564721.Hotel-Information) > > [Pickalbatros Hotel du Golf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Hotel-Du-Golf-Rotana.h4485836.Hotel-Information) > > [Nobu Hotel Marrakech](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-The-Pearl-Marrakech.h4909170.Hotel-Information) > > [La Maison Des Oliviers](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-La-Maison-Des-Oliviers.h1717262.Hotel-Information) > > [La Maison Arabe Hotel, Spa and Cooking Workshops](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-La-Maison-Arabe-Hotel.h1167773.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Médina Essaouira Thalassa Sea & Spa -
