The breakfast and the breakfast area were great. The price was fine. Mr. Abdul was an excellent host. The bed was cold and I think damp. The location was good for us in the old town. Easy to find etc. It was nice to stay in an authentic riad

A wonderful Moroccan Riad on the foot of the Medina facing the Atlantic Ocean. Wonderful location with lovely Moroccan decor. The rooms are basic and small, but the property is lovely and the hotel manager, Ronone (spelling??), will make your stay incredible.

Fantastic ocean view and great hospitality
We sadly stayed here only for 1 night. Wish we could spend more time in the lovely town of Essaouira and in Riad Kafila. The team of the riad made us feel extremely welcome and right at home. They were super nice and helpful. Our room (no 3) overlooking the Atlantic Ocean had one of the best views ever. It was amazing to wake up and watch the huge ocean waves crashing on the rocks. Breakfast was plentiful, tasty and very generous, we didn't need lunch that day! Location is also good, very close to the city walls, great for sunset. Some lovely restaurants in close vicinity and of course shopping.

Exceptionnelle
Riad exceptionnelle avec une vue sur l'océan et localisé en plein dans la médina. Accueil et service irréprochable. Le petit-déjeuner est excellent et très copieux. L'endroit est parfait pour évacuer son stress et se ressourcer. Le riad dispose d'une terrasse avec une vue exceptionnelle sur l'océan. Un grand merci pour Redouane et Abderrahim pour leur gentillesse et leur hospitalité. A refaire sans hésiter.
