Stayed for a few nights in July and really have mixed feelings about this plce.

Staff were really friendly and helpful, price was very good, location is excellent, being just inside the medina and convenient for the Supratours bus and also to the fort/waterfront area. Breakfast was included in the rate and was nice enough, served on the terrace with a view of the ocean which is a nice touch.

On the downside we were eaten alive by bugs (maybe just bad luck, but there were heaps of mozzies around, which may have something to do with water pooling around the many potted plants around the place), the bedding felt a bit tired, the pillows were very uncomfortable and we had a slight sewage smell in the bathroom.

Given the price point, and the positives, perhaps most people would be ok with Azzouz, but for us, on this particular trip, it was a slight disappointment.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for four nights and we loved it. The staff were really friendly and helpful. We were offered a larger room as the place wasn't full which was nice and the rooms were a lot more private than they can be in some riads. It was really clean and newly decorated and breakfast was the best we had in Morocco served whenever we wanted.

The location was perfect, easy to find and near the main street but nice and quiet. There was someone there to let us in 24/7 too. The terrace was gorgeous with a view of the sea, places to sit and eat breakfast or have a bottle of wine while the sun sets and loungers for a bit of sunbathing.

This place is perfect for couples as it is much more romantic than many of the places we stayed and the rooms are really good value for money.

The Azzouz 7 was the best Riad we stayed at during our entire trip through Morocco. Located on a quiet street just a bit from the center of the old city, it is extremely quiet but right near a bustling city center (although admittedly a bit difficult to find at first). The rooms were extremely nice and well decorated, but the main highlight was the terrace with a sunbathing area. We often preferred to eat on the terrace with take out as opposed to eating in restaurants, as you could see the beach the ocean from there. Ilham was extremely helpful, as were the rest of the staff, and the breakfast is good, often varying a different warm meal each day. We would certainly stay here again, simply for the terrace and proximity to the beach and city.

This riad is a great value with very friendly management. It is safe, very clean and the hotel and large rooms smell great- that cannot always be said for many of the other riads in Essaouira which can sometimes smell a bit moldy
