"Technically, perhaps, it’s a riad, but when it comes to atmosphere, Madada Mogador has a lot more in common with some small European boutique hotels than it does with the traditional Moroccan courtyard house. This is no bad thing. If you want old-world atmosphere, there are plenty of places to find it — but if you want picturesque Essaouira seaside charm mixed with cosmopolitan, contemporary boutique style, then this is the place for you." - Tablet Hotels
