Pros +
- Make sure to get a room with an ocean view. The riad is build on a sea wall, so the ocean is right outside your window. It was so pleasant falling asleep to the sound of the waves breaking.
- Beautiful rooms and great staff.
- Beautiful opulent riad on the ocean, in the medina. Our room had windows that opened to the ocean that was nice view to enjoy. Comfortable bed, seating area. We enjoyed the restaurant upstairs which looks over the ocean. Also an outdoor roof deck next to restaurant. Very good lunch and breakfast buffet. We were very happy to have the opportunity to spend time here.
Cons -
- The breakfast left a lot to be desired. The general maintenance of the hotel could be better.
- There wasn’t anything we didn’t like but we had to get used to the showers. The temperatures were very hot but better than being cold!
- Coffee could have been better, not but a big deal because there were so many great coffee shops just a few steps away.

The staff was amazing! The views from the terrace and the sea view suites were spectacular.

The staff were amazing and accommodating and the sea view was amazing. We also did a cooking class at the Riad which was a lot of fun’s and delicious. A restaurant and breakfast was also very enjoyable.

Amazing location and the mini suite is the way to go for out of this world views and comfort!!!
Coffee could have been better, not but a big deal because there were so many great coffee shops just a few steps away.
The location cannot be beat. Looking out the windows of the mini suite you feel like you are on the ocean. The staff made our stay so enjoyable and everyone was very kind and helpful.
The coffee could have been a little better but there are so many coffee shops within a minute walk so not a big deal!
The room ocean view, location, customer service, hotel architechture and decor.We would be back.Thanks.
Fantastic spot the staff and hotel was great maybe the slow elevator was an issue but in general this hotel is lovely my sea view room was amazing and the location was in a quiet area but 3 min walk to restaurants and shops and 10 to the main square . Roof was lovely and the sound of the ocean was amazing
Small elevator but it beat walking
Breakfast was decent, the sea-view room was wonderful, clean and minimal, with very friendly staff.
The staff were so nice and the view was so beautiful
The way that leads to the riad is not so proper, stinky in the city
Great Great view of the Atlantic Ocean, clean, spacious, great staff.All good
Great terrace and breakfast. Loved the view and the staff was wonderful. Room was more or less as advertised. The lobby and decorations on the floor were beautiful. Also the check in staff was very helpful.
The room was very noisy- I could hear the people in the room next door, so that was less than optimal.
Riad Mimouna has the best ocean view in town. We had a sea view room which was amazing! The breakfast was very good and the dinning area has an expansive view of the ocean. The front desk staff and the waiters provided excellent service to the guests.
The location it was really great, at the edge of the ocean, in the medina. One could see the ocean, the view was remarkable.
Smelly, a bit old fashioned and dated, not very clean.The distance to the parking was pretty long.
The property is so beautiful. The rooms are spacious and the view is spectacular. The Riad is right on the beach. I could watch the sunset and the sunrise from my room. Breakfast was good. The location was great, easy to walk the whole Medina. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
The bed was a little too hard for me.
Best place I stayed in Morocco for Location and everything else. Staff were fantastic and the room with a view was amazing. Would highly recommend staying here. 2 minutes walk to the souks.
Great view, beautiful building and easy for sightseeing. However no alcohol in the restaurant at dinner and no atmosphere as nobody there. Breakfast was poor. No tea and coffee in the room. It was more expensive than the price quoted on Booking.com. Returned to the Hotel at 9 and asked for tea and reception told us we had to go to the restaurant.
It is seldom I have been ushered out of a Hotel bang on the dot of 12.00 …because the porter had to return to take other baggage to awaiting cars ….i was making a last minute email before I lost the internet….when I say ushered …I should say told to leave !!The Riad has old world charm and amazing views of the sea…..the Old World Charm extends to loose bathroom taps , a bath shower tap you couldn’t regulate , waste bins not emptied , curtains that didn’t draw and a picturesque window that was dirty and only opened with the strength of a strong man ! Breakfast was very ordinary compared to the high cost of room , cold boiled eggs , packet baked croissants and odd selection of bits and pieces …rounded off with almost fresh bread …If you like this kind of Old World Charm …then this is the place for you …..
It was in a good, quiet location with an amazing view of the beach/ocean. Nicely decorated & clean. Staff was helpful. Food was good.
