Elegant riad, central location, newly renovated, excellent manager, welcoming staff, delicious breakfast on the amazing terrace with views across the medina to the ocean. What's not to love? Perfect!

Beautiful property and friendly staff! The view from the terrace is stunning.

Great location, and super friendly staff. Would definitely come back!

This Ryad was one of the best that we have stayed at during our trip across multiple cities in Morocco. The room and bathrooms were clean and beautifully furnished. The breakfast was exceptional especially the fruit bowl. Jerome and all the staff were so friendly and welcoming. The only suggestion I have is possibly installing de-humidifiers in the rooms as humidity is high by the ocean and you could feel it in the sheets/clothing but would definitely recommend staying here!

Very cosy Riad. Beautiful terrace, super friendly service. We enjoyed our stay very much. Thanks a lot. Definitively to recommend!

Best Ryad! Great rooms, great staff. The best is having breakfast in their astonishing views rooftop

Beautiful riad, great pricing, wonderful design. Owners are hospitable and spent the time to tell us about the area and recommend places to see and eat at. Amazing rooftop and view from rooftop. Nice breakfast. Really great service and value for money. Only thing that can be improved is the curtains in the room. They are a bit stuffy and smell... need to be aired or replaced. Other than that, a perfect stay. I highly recommend!!!

Very lovely building. Kind staff and freshly made breakfast. We found a postcard of the main door of the hotel sold in a shop!

Beautifully designed and decorated riad, Ryad Lyon Mogador is a secret oasis amidst being in the center of Essaouira's 18th century medina.My room was clean, well-lit, and charminly decorated of soft white and soft light brown colored linens and the traditional tan colored clay walls.The rooftop, also the breakfast area, provides a panoramic view of the medina, sqala, and the Atlantic ocean.Full breakfast consists of eggs, yogurt w/ fruits, msemen (phyllo crepes) w/ honey, semolina bread, assorted jams, freshly squeezed orange juice, and coffee or mint tea.The staff were fantastic! Friendly and helpful w/ recommendations on where to eat and what yo see/do, and accommodating. We left our luggage after check out and came back in the afternoon after more sightseeing.Wished I could've stayed longer!!!

This was the nicest ryad of all the ryads we stayed at while traveling in Morocco. The bed was especially comfortable and warm, which is of an extra importance in ryads as they normally have no heating and can be chilly at night. The location is good, the terrace view very pleasing, and the morning breakfast has enough of the variety. Would stay again!

The rooftop is amazing, with 360-degree views that include the ocean. It's one of my favorite breakfast spots in all my (many) travels and also a great outdoor spot for quiet relaxation. Jerome and Karol are kind, helpful hosts. My room was clean and comfortable. And, really, every other guest I met said they want to come back.

We stayed for 2 nights in Essaouira and i am very happy that we picked Riad Lyon Mogador. The Riad is spectacularly pretty and well located in the heart of the Medina. We were able to easily walk around the city walls and to the beach and other landmarks in Essaouira. What made the stay really special is the kindness and care from the hosts Jerome and Karol. From the moment we checked in with Jerome, we knew we were in good hands. We got directions, restaurant recommendations and local tips from Jerome which were all fantastic. Another highlight is breakfast on the terrace. Not only is the breakfast delicious, but sitting in the winter sun and getting views over Essaouira are really fab. Jerome stopped by to chat a few times and make sure everything was going well. I cannot recommend a stay at the Lyon Mogador highly enough.

While my first impression was amazing,it only got better. My breakfast the next morning was exactly what I wanted and she let me choose! The rooftop is sublime, the riad overall is the nicest I’ve ever stayed in and honestly one of the nicer places I have ever stayed in any country. There is so much charm and heart in this place. From the light fixtures, to the beautiful neutral palette of colors in the rooms, to the incredible succulents adorning the rooftop. The owners of the riad are also such a delight. I stand by my first impression and wish I could live there, well maybe not forever, but I would like to stay for a long time and copy all their decorating ideas!! Thank you again

A no brainer. Fantastic in every way. Owners friendly and run a fine tuned and professional Riad. Breakfast is 1st class and plentiful. Roof terrace lovely to have breakfast on and relaxing. Décor original and tasteful. Wi fi good, Plumbing works well and plenty of hot water. Staff delightful. Everywhere spotless as is room. We returned whilst they were cleaning our room one day, carpet removed, bed on blocks to clean underneath and windows being cleaned inside and out. Can't fault it. Location in Medina central and safe. Essaouira is a nice place and always felt safe day and night.

Very nice place, extremly helpfull owner, very nice staff, good situated you can walk to all places - a reason to go to Marrakesch again

A gorgeous riad, great staff and fantastic location.

The location couldn’t be better. In the heart of the Medina, yet calm and secluded. Woukd totoally go Back and highly recommend.

The biggest mistake was to only stay one night. Not enough time to capture the spirit. Jerome and Carole are great hosts and are available to help any time.

We (2 people) stayed here for two nights. The host (Carol) was just awesome! She always was in close touch with us via email before our arrival wanting to know when we would arrive so they could prepare for our arrival. Upon arrival we were greeted by the lovely housekeeper (I believe she speaks primarily French) and we were shown our room. After settling in we made our way to the terrace to meet our host Carol who is originally from France. We were treated with refreshments. Carols first language is French but was very still helpful and understandable in English. We unfortunately did not get to meet her husband during our stay though, Im sure he would have been equally as helpful. Apparently Carols husband would be doing all the greeting/instructions if English is preferred but Carol did a great job still! She gave us a map and the breakdown of the medina and recommendations for restaurants etc etc - very helpful! She also made sure we were happy with our room right in the beginning. The riad on the inside is very beautiful and has a great architectural build. I would suggest booking a room where the wall that seperates the bathroom from the bedroom is completely sealed at the top. Carol was kind enough to let us keep our baggage at the riad after check out time as we had a later bus in the day back to Marrakesh and didnt want to drag our bags around.

We stayed here for one night in early February. The riad is in an ideal location just off the main shopping street. Its very easy to find unlike many places in Morocco!On arrival we were greeted with mint tea and moroccan biscuits and given advice about what to do and where the eat. The staff were very friendly and spoke very good english. We were offered a choice of room but were happy with the first one shown to us. Clean with modern decoration, it was on the small side but perfectly reasonable for a few nights stay. The bathroom was large and modern and towels and toiletries were provided. Breakfast the following morning was served on the roof terrace. I require a gluten free diet and this was well-catered for with eggs, fresh fruit and nuts and yoghurt. The owners kindly let us keep our room until our departure late afternoon free of charge. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Very nice owners, who were very attentive. We had a toddler with us and they made us feel very welcome. recommend highly

A gem in the heart of Essaioura, the couple who owns the guest house are amazing hosts. My brother and I stayed for 2 nights in December and really enjoyed the hospitality. The rooms are all nicely themed and decorated, very clean and neat. The hotel is located on a quite alley and has secured entry, close to all the restaurants. The hosts are very helpful and will provide directions and recommendations. Breakfast is served on the terrace and is nothing short of sumptuous! I will recommend anyone to stay here and would definitely come back to stay if I go back to Essaioura!

First, we arrived at night to find there were no rooms with two beds...according to the Expedia website I booked a room with two double beds. The owner put us in two separate rooms for the night---and said he would arrange the other because they had no rooms with two beds. He was very pleasant but we were tired and jet lagged and disappointed. They did split a large bed into two --- meaning that we were in two small beds---not particularly comfortable. The Ryad is damp and cold. Even the sheets feel damp. It was adequately cleaned. I'd stayed in the medina before but this area seemed particularly "lively".The morning breakfasts on the roof were delicious and far more than expected. The staff was smiling and welcoming. It was a bit strange that there was never anyone at reception. That felt a bit odd to me but perhaps for some people the freedom of coming and going without encountering staff might be liberating. The third day we got up and there was no hot water. They said it was being fixed. We did not have hot water the rest of our stay, only lukewarm. There were things I loved about this place but the dampness and the lack of hot water really made me think twice about recommending it to anyone. To the lovely staff there, sorry.

The hotel rooms are small, there is a musty smell in most of the rooms and hallways. The atmosphere is not what we expected.
