I arrived at this Riad after a bad experience in another one, I must admit that I was exhausted. The service was excellent and the breakfast simply delicious, all organic food. The room very clean and perfect service. Antiallergic matresses and perfect care for detail. Rooms can be reached through narrow stairs.

Breakfast and restaurant is excellent!

The location is central, inside the medina, but walking around in those narrow streets is a little dodgy by night, I suggest you do not walk around too late.

I was just disappointed in the end, when I discovered that a tax was being added to my bill plus room charge, very odd!! I had to leave it but not sure yet that was due to me to pay.

I was looking forward to staying here because of most of the reviews. However the bed was as hard as concrete. We requested two beds and my friend slept on a small sofa. I piled all my clothes and blankets under me to be able to get some rest.. Tthe manager moved us the next day but the bed was only slightly more comfortable. The linen was clean but the pillow was filthy. The brick walls were covered with fine mortar and if you accidently brushed against them your clothes became covered with white dust. The street was noisy but quieted before midnight. I would not stay here again. I can't imagine anyone recommending this for this price.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Lalla Mira, if you are willing to spend the extra cash, the suites on the top floor are a great bet. We had the suite with its own balcony which was a suntrap and made a fantastic escape from the medina. Late afternon when the sun had left our balcony we headed to the rooftop for more sun lounging and sundowner drinks to the sound of the prayer call. Essouira itself is an amazing little town, far, far calmer and certainly superiour as a destination to Marrakech. Staff at the Riad were really friendly and made us feel welcome. Rooms spotless and Great breakfasts, all organic and healthy, lots of pastries and goats cheese with small changes every day, if you ask the night before they will bring a tray to your room.

The only down side would be if you are ealry to bed people as there was some street noise from local revellers who seemed to congregate by one of the few street lamps placed just outside the Riad. However, they had wandered off by midnight every night....leaving nothing just the peaceful night outside!

Over all this is a heavenly Riad and we would definately return when we return to Essouira..Enjoy!

I found Lalla Mira on a guidebook , was a bit stressed about having to walk around finding a place to stay in Essaouira sto i studied the map and founded straight away. Staff ( mostly women, a nice change for Morocco) was very helpful , set a boy with a cart with me to fetch the bags , gave me and my friend a supercool room and gave us directions to visit the town. Room was two floorey, big bed upstairs and smaller dowstairs , that is what you expect when staying ina an historical building. The have a hammam annexed , give you robes to walt next door and i highly recommend. We had dinner there , food was fine, they are a lot into organic food and local products( although everything is very organic in Morocco) but i would eat somewhere else net time in order to explore a bit more.
There was some noise from the street at night, but being in a overcrowded medina in northern Africa you don't exactly expect things to be too quiet. Breakfast was great with a huge selection of local delicacies.
THey also helped me boo a place in Marrakech and their recommedation turned to be great! Thanks to the staff at Lalla Mira.
