Madada Mogador is a boutique hotel on Rue Youssef el Fassi, in the heart of the old town, about two minutes on foot from Place Moulay Hassan, the clock tower and the beach. It is described as a beach bed and breakfast with a restaurant for breakfast and dinner, a bar and lounge, a cafe, a rooftop terrace and a library. Spa services include facials and massage, with couples treatment rooms. A free continental breakfast is served each morning, and a front desk is staffed around the clock. Free WiFi and air conditioning are standard. It is a charming, intimate and well-placed choice for couples and independent travellers who want to walk to everything.
Location and getting around
Few hotels are better placed. Place Moulay Hassan, the beach and the clock tower are each about two minutes away on foot, and the Skala du Port and the Skala de la Ville are about five minutes. Essaouira airport is roughly twenty-six minutes by car, and the hotel can arrange a shuttle for a fee. You will walk everywhere in the medina, so pack light and use the luggage storage on arrival day.
Rooms and atmosphere
This is a small, characterful riad, where rooms are arranged around a courtyard and a rooftop terrace gives views over the roofs and the sea. The restaurant, bar and cafe mean you can eat in without leaving, and the library is a nice spot for a quiet afternoon. The spa has treatment rooms for couples. Expect warm, personal service and an atmosphere that feels more like a guest house than a hotel.
Who it suits and good to know: it suits couples, solo travellers and independent explorers who prefer character over resort facilities. The free continental breakfast runs in the morning hours, so plan your start accordingly. There is no elevator, which matters with heavy luggage or reduced mobility, and no pool is shown, so consider the beach instead. A city tax per person per night applies, and pets are not allowed. Check-in begins in the early afternoon, check-out is at noon, and free cancellation is offered on selected rates.
