Splendid accommodation, impressive sized rooms and very snug and colourful...staff where super friendly and breakfast was great...
Soft mattresses, poor WiFi, and a remote location that requires a porter to transport your luggage

Very kind staff, breakfast was served with care. Good location. Clean room. Could use some updating and improved services like wifi and better shower experience like water pressure, hot water and toiletries.

Right in the center of the medina. Walkable to all directions. Aged property with aged rooms. But it's sufficient for a short stay. Staffs are friendly and helpful.
This hotel exceeded all expectations. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, the rooms were spotless and comfortable, and the amenities were top-notch. The breakfast was delicious, and the location was perfect for exploring. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!
A beautiful riad in a very central location. Highly recommended.

Spacious rooms, Beautiful decoration
However not recommend this place with a car. Parking is 11 minutes away cost 70. You have to drag your luggage through ragging streets.
There is no egg for breakfast, you have to pay extra to get an egg, also pay extra to get another glass of orange juice
Accommodation was great, plenty of space and well decorated. Breakfast was a nice way to start the day and the rooftop seating was a great spot to chill.
Very charming Riad in the center of town. Very nice rooms and super friendly staff. We absolutely loved it and will for sure be returning. Highly recommended!
A very charming well situated riad. We had a lovely room - everything was spotless - and we enjoyed relaxing on the pretty roof terrace. The freshly made pancakes at breakfast were delicious! The staff couldn't have been nicer or more helpful 🙂.
We would love to go back.
Excellent find in the Medina of Essaouira. Beautiful, individualized rooms. Very friendly welcome and reliable service. Good breakfast with Moroccan pancakes. Central location in quiet side street.

Loved this Riad! We had a lovely room on the rooftop! Staff was very friendly and helpful— rooms very clean with everything you need to be comfortable. We had breakfasts and dinners— breakfasts were fine but the dinners were superb!
Stayed here for 4 nights. Really amazing, clean and well-maintained property. The staff is friendly and many thanks to Myriam who helped us and provided her expertise regarding things to do and visit. Overall a really good experience. Highly recommend!
Low level of hospitality including carrying our own suitcases up multiple flights of steps, loud location due to external facing windows, shared spaces were not particularly clean, though the room was exceptionally clean. Breakfast wasn’t adequate for active tourists. We moved to a less expensive hotel nearby for a much more positive experience.
They couldn’t find the reservation
They didn’t have the room with 3 beds we requested
Really noisy at night

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Riad Amana.
Great location within the medina, and really friendly and helpful staff. The room was clean.
It should be noted, however, that the medina is loud at night. That is not a criticism of Riad Amana, as it probably applies to all hotels and riads within the medina. We didn't mind, but if you're a light sleeper you'd probably prefer staying in a hotel outside of the medina.
