Madada Mogador

Fantastic location, perfectly placed for both the beach, and the medina, with a fantastic view! Just within the gate to the medina, (Bab Sbaa), yet still very close to the taxi drop off point. We absolutely loved our stay in the Salma room, which opened onto the communal roof terrace. The room was spacious, with plenty of storage, a double bed, seating area, tea & coffee making, and a large bathroom with a great walk in shower & complimentary toiletries. There was also a hairdryer, and fridge, with payable mini bar containing chocolate & soft drinks. Breakfast was prepared to order, served either on the roof terrace or downstairs in the comfortable lounge / reception area, and available from 08:30-12:00 (great for late risers, or those like us who enjoy a stroll before a late breakfast), and consisted of freshly squeezed orange juice, tea, coffee, pancakes, selection of breads, jams, croissants, yogurt, fruit, cake, and a choice of freshly cooked eggs. I must also mention the staff, who were always friendly & helpful, without being intrusive. The highlights for us were the location, the amazing view and the beautiful sunsrises & sunsets from the terrace. Would stay here again without hesitation!

Our stay at Madada Mogador in Essaouira was nothing short of magical. This charming boutique hotel perfectly captures the spirit of the city, offering a unique blend of coastal serenity, refined elegance, and heartfelt hospitality. Traveling with two young children, we were impressed by how effortlessly the team ensured our stay was both comfortable and memorable. A Warm Welcome for Families: From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and genuine care. The staff at Madada Mogador went above and beyond to make us feel at home, paying special attention to my children with thoughtful gestures like coloring books and local treats. Their friendliness and attentiveness made all of us feel instantly at ease. Elegant Accommodations with a Family Touch: Our room was an oasis of comfort, blending minimalist elegance with Moroccan charm. It was spacious enough for our family, with a cozy seating area where the kids could relax after a day of exploration. The highlight was the private terrace overlooking the ocean—a breathtaking view that we enjoyed together as a family every evening. A Culinary Delight: Breakfast at Madada Mogador was a feast for the senses, served on a stunning rooftop terrace with panoramic views of the sea and medina. The fresh pastries, local jams, and perfectly brewed coffee were a treat for us, while the staff thoughtfully prepared child-friendly options for my little ones. Dining here felt like a cherished family ritual. Perfectly Located for Exploration: The hotel’s location is unbeatable—right at the edge of the medina and steps away from Essaouira’s iconic beach. This made it easy to explore the vibrant streets, markets, and cultural landmarks while being close enough to return for a midday rest. The staff also recommended family-friendly activities, such as camel rides on the beach and visits to local artisan workshops, which delighted my children.

our room faced the ocean and led directly onto the terrace where breakfast was served, the hotel was very quiet no matter what time of the day ,breakfast was very traditional with eggs cooked to your liking. No television in our room, which after a couple of days you start to enjoy the benefits. This hotel is located just within the medina ,but close enough to the beach. The staff without exception were polite, very helpful, and would check to ensure all was good .

Overall a good experience with this hotel. Some general comments and then pluses/minuses. Essaouira, we realized, is a very windy town. One needs a fleece or sweatshirt even during the day. If you are driving from Marrakech, make sure to obey the speeding limits or you willl get a ticket for sure! The website is a marketing wonder; don’t get me wrong, things are good but look much better on the website. We stayed in the room Sabra, below are our pluses/minuses: + Clean room + Decent size space + High ceilings + Great breakfast (which runs until noon, a big plus) + 1.5 lt water replenished ever day + Very well working, silent A/C + Attentive staff + Location (right by the medina and for people who drive, public parking right across, 3 min walk) + Shower: great water pressure and you get hot water immediately + good soap and toiletries + good wifi reception + easy on the checkout (we vacated the room around 1 pm) + hard bed (my partner doesn’t like it, but I do :)

Location was amazing. Just inside the Medina and close to a number of shops and restaurants. The hotel itself was really lovely with a beautiful roof terrace where we were able to eat breakfast every morning. And breakfast was great. The staff were fantastic and really helpful in organizing airport transfers, booking quad trips on the dunes, restaurants, spa treatments, etc. There is also a fabulous restaurant affiliated with the hotel, La Tabla. I would recommend this hotel without reservation. It was truly fantastic.
