Madada Mogador

This place is amazing! The staff pays a lot of attention to details. The rooms are spacious, very clean, and the staff is friendly. The breakfast is great, with plenty of delicious options. You should try the hotel restaurant for an amazing culinary experience!

Our party of 4 stayed in the Loft Suite and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The room (awkwardly accessed through the kitchen) is large, with high ceilings, light-filled, and furnished with very interesting furniture and artifacts. The beds were comfy and the bathrooms more than adequate. The staff was very friendly and helpful and was happy to arrange dinner next door (highly recommend La Table restaurant) and outings for us. The location by the ramparts is perfect for a visit in Essaouira. This loft is perfect for 2 couples, or a family with children. I would highly recommend it!

A wonderful place to have a massage. My wife and I had massages there which were wonderful. The two young women were excellent and very professional and the cost was very competitive. Highly recommend it. The hotel is situated in the old city near the main entrance and so easy to find.

The entrance is a little confusing, via a narrow staircase at the side of the entry to another riad, but once you arrive at the Madada, its a beautiful place. The receptionist Usama gave us a very friendly welcome with lots of useful information. He really was excellent and nothing was too much trouble. We took 2 rooms, Assala and Pacha. Pacha is on the 2nd floor with its own private terrace, with probably the best views of the whole hotel. Assala was on the 1st floor, looking onto the adjacent alley, a large room with high ceiling and beautiful bathroom. The beds were excellent and we particularly liked the bathroom amenities and fluffy soft towels. Breakfast was available on the terrace and was the standard Moroccan breakfast, but with freshly squeezed orange juice and delicious bread and pastries. We had dinner at La Table restaurant, which was first class. With a perfect location and such nice, comfortable rooms, the Madada is highly recommended. Thank you Usama for such a warm welcome and kind service!

Hotel is in a great location, and the terrasse was a nice place to chill with a book, but the room we stayed in (Salma) needs to be refurbished, giving the hotel an overall air of being run-down and not invested in. Pictures show missing tiles in the shower and rotting window frames. There was a bottle of water in the room and mint tea on arrival, but no fridge, no tea or coffee facilities and no room service. No TV. Plus they didn’t tell us until we arrived that the restaurant was closed for the duration of our stay. Receptionist did make an alternative recommendation for dinner, which turned out to be good. Breakfast was served in the nice airy reception area, no decaf coffee, but otherwise fine with juice, fruit, crepe, bread, preserves and omelette. But for the overall standard, we suspect we could have found better options in the medina.

A modern boutique nine room hotel right inside the walls of the old city/Kasbah that feels like you’re staying with friends. No two rooms are alike. We stayed in Mogador. Perfect for two people. Two beds. A loft. Views of the beach front. There is a lounge both inside and on the roof where you can watch the sun rise or set. Breakfast is quite complete. Coffee. Juice. Fruit plate. Bread. Croissant. Jams. Honey. Eggs (made to order). Or Moroccan pancakes. Galene, one of the managers, provides expert advice. And when we had a plumbing problem was quick to find a solution. And even found us in a restaurant to let us know the status of repair. That’s customer attention.
