About

Madada Mogador

Madada Mogador sits in a historic district of Essaouira, just across from the beach and a short stroll from the old port and the ramparts. The house is a classic riad-style building, with a rooftop terrace that looks out over the Atlantic and the medina's whitewashed streets.

Inside, the rooms are individually decorated, mixing traditional Moroccan details with modern comforts like air conditioning, minibars, and tea and coffee facilities. Some rooms also have a fireplace or a private balcony. Breakfast is served each morning on the terrace, and the staff are known for going out of their way to help guests plan their stay.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Breakfast served on a sea-view terrace — Guests repeatedly mention starting the day with breakfast on the rooftop, overlooking the ocean.
  • Right by the sea, port, and medina — A 5-minute walk from the port and across from the beach, with the old town and bus station within walking distance.
  • Warm, personal service — Staff are described as attentive and accommodating, often going beyond expectations to help guests.
  • Stylish, comfortable rooms — Rooms are individually decorated with thoughtful touches like fireplaces, sitting areas, and sea views.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Noise from the medina — Being in the heart of the old city can mean ambient street noise, though many guests find it part of the charm.
  • Limited on-site facilities — This is a B&B, not a full hotel—no pool or fitness center (not mentioned in amenities). Facilities score is the lowest category.
  • Parking is not on site — Public parking is nearby but not private, which can be a slight inconvenience for those arriving by car.
  • Pets not allowed — If you're traveling with a dog or cat, this property isn't suitable.
