Lovely stay in ideal location with attentive staff, good views and great breakfast served on terrace. Booked in for hamam which was very enjoyable. Only downside was we had the top apartment that opened onto terrace which was a lovely apartment with own breakfast table, but shower flooded so you had to be quick, the buildings AC unit was on our roof and noisy at night, and the town is full of seagulls that woke you up early. None of this would be a problem on lower floors.

Friendly staff.
Good location
Lovely breakfast on the roof top
Bedroom was nicely decorated but a bit damp. Needs a dehumidifier.
Door handle/ lock coming away from door. No security at all, anyone could have got through windows from courtyard into the room
Casa Lila is a simply beautiful 300 year old riad, within the walls of the medina, an easy walk to everywhere in Essaouira. The people who work there are warm, lovely and welcoming- they are so helpful, and they love their city. We had a wonderful stay.
Amazing stay. Such a nice riad with an absolutely lovely staff. I was blown away when shown my room. So nice, beautiful and cozy. Absolutely loved it. I had both hamam and massage when I stayed and that was such a relaxing experience as well. Loved it and would definitely come back another time when visiting Essaouira.
Great place 5 mins walk from the Supratours bus stop and within the walled Medina. Friendly and chilled owner, who also hires out bicycles to ppl who don't want to bring their own. Chilled calm space, friendly staff, great (consistently hot and fresh) breakfast on the roof terrace.
Nothing was too much trouble for the wonderful staff. Organised taxis and an early breakfast. Beautiful riad. Great location in the medina and close to the beach. nice breakfast. Thoroughly recommend staying here. Used the spa twice and loved every second.

I stayed at Casa Lila for a week and had a wonderful time. I loved my room. Very nice breakfast (delicious fresh orange juice). Very nice terrasses. Great location. The staff is lovely and very helpful. I visited the in-house spa and hammam twice. It's not cheap but it was wonderful. I recommend whole heartedly this place and would visit again. Salam and shokran everyone at Casa Lila!
Didn’t use the spa at the Riad, however I did use one in town it was amazing price very reasonable. The Riad itself was nice . People at reception were very friendly. Overall I docommand this Road
Rashide was very warm and welcoming helpful with town layout, clean rooms, good breakfast strong coffee! Very close to bus connections 6 minute walk. Kudos to all casa Lila staff!!
Ideal base to explore Essaouira. Inside the Medina but easy to find via straight line from the parking lot entrance. You get advice on how to get there when booking. The room was spacious, strong shower and wifi. Staff were attentive and the breakfasts on the terrace set you up for the day. Shops on the doorstep and easy walk to the port. Recommended as a traditional riad.
The hotel is very easy to find about 10 minutes walk from the bus station we arrived at. It is located right in the Medina that is small and easy to find your way around in. Great shopping and dining all close to hotel. The breakfast on the rooftop terrace is good.The main square is nice with great view of crashing waves. Not far is a beautiful long beach great for walking. The best part of all was Esma and the rest of the very helpful and friendly staff that helped us arrange for bus tickets as well as give us great advice on what to do during our stay. This was the perfect hotel for our stay in Essaouira.
I am nearly 70 years old, I find it hard to say it out loud, I have been travelling for 50 years, I have visited maybe 80 different countries and stayed in hundreds of hotels. This is , quite simply, one of the best of them all. Can I try to explain why ?
On arrival it is so unassuming; a small entrance from a busy street in the middle of the ancient Medina. A single sign, it would be easy to miss, but inside, it is like Doctor Who’s Tardis: only about 10 bedrooms arranged over four levels; each built around a central courtyard with tables, sunbeds and so on
It is immaculately clean and artistically decorated
The top floor is quiet, peaceful with a great view over the city. A perfect place to spend two hours with a book on sunny afternoon
The breakfast is one of the beds, not just as the food is so imaginative, but because of the friendly service, and the stunning location
We LOVED our bedroom: a large comfortable bed, high quality cotton (or was kt line ?) sheets and pillows, spotlessly clean, an architecturally stunning bathroom, tea, coffee, air con. We had it all, a little oasis among the hustle and bustle of the Medina
Top of the pops though come the staff at the hotel and that means everyone: a fine team,. Everybody friendly, everybody knowing their jobs. Nothing was too much to ask. They really made this feel like home
Finally, here is to tip. The hotel does not have a permanent restaurant but Expedia's limit on characters won't let me tell you anymore
Il Riad è molto affascinante… con i suoi colori ed il suo arredamento tipico. Si respira un’aria familiare e piacevole. Il personale è molto gentile e la colazione del mattino e’ ottima
Bon séjour à Casa Lila & Spa.
Grande chambre, le personnel est adorable et au petit soin.
Lit confortable, le petit déjeuner est copieux et c’est agréable de le prendre sur la terrasse.
Bonne situation géographique dans la Médina.
J’ai pu avoir ma chambre en avance car elle était disponible.
J’ai apprécié le calme à l’intérieur du Riad car dehors c’est très bruyant et mouvementé.
Le ménage n’est pas parfait mais ça reste très correct.
Je recommande néanmoins les chambres en étage car plus lumineuses, la mienne au rez de chaussée était sombre.
Petit-déjeuner avec pain rassi et brioche réchauffée non fraîche également. Café froid le 2eme jour. Gâteaux non fait maison. Petit dejeuné le moins bon de nos 2 semaines au Maroc.
Le sol de la chambre était sale. Peut-être que comme nous sommes arrivées en avance, ils ont voulu nous donner la chambre rapidement mais nous aurions préféré attendre plus et être à l'aise en marchant pieds nus. En tous cas c'était très sale.
