Essaouira Hotels

5/5 stars.
I absolutely loved my stay at Ryad Watier. After being in Morocco for over a week, this was the first place that really felt like a home away from home.

Fabulous location in the heart of Essaouira with easy access to a multitude of restaurants, cafes and shops and within an easy walk to the beach, port and ramparts.

We had such a wonderful time at Riad Baladin. It’s the perfect place to stay while in Essaouira. The Riad is so beautiful and location is great.

We stayed at Riad Baladin a week ago and had a wonderful experience. It's a beautiful and authentic place, full of character. Great location. Great service.

This hotel is incredible value for money. It’s beautifully appointed and the staff (especially Hammed) and breakfast are lovely. My only gripe is with its location.

Amazing! The staff were very friendly and so helpful, giving us great recommendations for places to eat/watch the euros and preparing breakfast for us early to accommodate for our morning flight on

A beautiful Riad that’s a perfect distance to everything you need but also tucked in a nice quaint corner where all you can hear are the waves.

We visited 5 Riads before choosing to stay at Riad Mimouna: it offers the best value for money considering the ocean front view, the interior style, the location, and its 4-star.

We loved our stay at Dar Afram. Nazha and Sadia looked after us very well. Lovely rooftop and cosy rooms.

We had the most amazing stay at Dar Afram!

Gorgeous riad.
Wonderful roof terrace.
Breakfast included with a bargain price.

We spent one night at the Riad and it was great. It has a nice terrace where you can see the sunset and take the breakfast. Staff is friendly and the toilets in the room oursasate are p. Cool!

Dar Karam is in the centre of the Medina. Very old traditional Moroccan house with steep staircase that lead us to a pretty rooftop terrace and our room.

Great location, clean room, and the best service with an incredibly friendly staff. Would definitely stay here again!

Booked a 2 night stay in a standard single, but they put me up in a double room. It was lovely! Kind reception, 4 poster bed, window facing the main street and easy walk everywhere. Worth every cent.

A great find! Comfortable simple rooms. The hotel is spotlessly clean, the staff are very efficient and extremely friendly.

My two friends and I took the three bed apartment on the first floor of this old Jewish merchants house at the NW corner of the walls of the Medina of Essaouira From the rooms and from the roof

I loved my stay at Dar A Bahar!
The staff were wonderful, especially Saad.

Very friendly staff who made us feel at home at all times.

My daughter (4) and I stayed in the Marjana triple room for three nights. We both really enjoyed our stay.

The best place I’ve ever stayed. I’ve tried most of the hotels in Essaouira, but this one is by far my favorite. It’s calm, clean, authentic, and the service is exceptional.

So pleased we found this place. We stayed 7 nights in June and it has been the most relaxing holiday. Really serene and chilled, the staff have been perfect — really friendly and happy to help.

In one word: perfect. For once you have a riad with outward facing windows and not dark and cramped.

We spent 1 night in this riad after a few intense days in the Marrakesh region.

A gorgeous riad in the medina with excellent service. But the room itself is small and basic, the bathroom was very simple and the shower had seen better days.

Villa Maroc was exceptional. The rooms are lovely and very charming, being full of locally made furniture & decor. The service was very warm and friendly.

This was one of my favorite riads that we stayed in. Greeted by smiling, welcoming staff and a cuddly house cat, Mimi. Our room was a nice size and tastefully decorated.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had a wonderful experience at Riad Rouad Rayhane in Essaouira!

Hosts were so welcoming. The breakfast was delicious and fresh. Comfortable linens and beds. Perfect location to walk to the beach.

I spent three nights here, traveling solo and had the perfect stay. Nada was very welcoming and in touch with me before I arrived to organize transfers and any meals I wanted.

Pierre, Nadia and their staff were very kind and helpful, helping wick sickness, recommending restaurants a. S. O. The place is stunning, stylish, clean and relaxing.

A beautiful home away from home,
The owner, Nadia and Pierre are exceptional, you don't find these kind of people easily in life.
We had spent some of the best 8 days in our life there.

Villa Ducasse is one of those places that just hits right. Bruno and Tamara welcome you like you’re at home, but with a level of service you’d expect from a luxury hotel.

We stayed with friends for 3 nights at La Villa Ducasse — and it was definitely too short! The villa has everything you need for a perfect, relaxing break.

This is a lovely place to stay.

Villa Mamma Gio is a wonderful place. Even though we booked very last-minute, we were warmly welcomed and they did everything they could to accommodate our wishes.

Thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality.
I spent the most beautiful birthday moments in this room, and everything was simply perfect.

Fantastic views from apartment 3. Sit in the lounge, or on the outside dining space or even lie in bed and you’ll be treated to a wonderful view of the sea, complete with sunset.

Nicely decorated hotel in center of Medina short walk from everywhere so perfect to explore Essaouira. Breakfast was excellent with lovely rooftop views.

A beautiful, calm riad in the medical. Our room was comfortable and dual aspect with a dusky grey tadalekt bathroom. Friendly, helpful staff and breakfast served on the rooftop terrace.

Our stay in Riad La Temperance was amazing! The location is lovely and super relaxing! The rooms, the pool, the garden, the common rooms and the small balconies were all very clean.

The place is absolutely wonderful! The owner takes care of the guests as if they were family, which makes you feel welcome and comfortable from the very beginning.

Lovely riad in the middle of the medina. Miriam greeted us and explained everything, answering many questions and giving suggestions about where to go. The room we had was very large and beautiful.

Beautiful traditionally decorated riad, central to the markets/shops. Spacious bedroom with blue and white theme, extra lounge area and bathroom.

Really nice clean rooms. Friendly staff makes check-in super easy and seamless. Beautiful art and furniture all around. Great location.

I wanted to thank Christian and Françoise for the wonderful stay they gave us. We felt welcomed right at home.

Had an amazing stay at this hostel. Definitely the best hostel I’ve stayed in. Staff are super super friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them.

Great Riad for your stay in Essaouira. The staff are lovely and very helpful (Mohsin is a legend). If you are looking to make friends but not stay in too busy a place this spot is perfect.

Lovely place. Great atmosphere. Cool vibe. Nice artsy place. My room and shared bathroom were better than the riad I stayed the nights before.
The employees are kind and helpful.

Thank you to the entire hostel staff for their friendly and accommodating attitude, and for all their help. Our group had a great experience.

Atlantic Hostel Essaouira is truly a place that leaves a lasting impression on its guests. Time and time again, visitors express how happy and satisfied they are with their stay.

I stayed at Atlantic Hostel in Essaouira after performing at an open mic late one night, and it turned out to be exactly what I needed.

One of the best places I stayed at in Maroc, laid back vibe with greatt service, great breakfast and the Sahara room is simply amazing.

I took a surfing lesson there. My small group and I had a splendid 2 hours lesson. All the basics were provided, including how to catch a wave.

I stayed two nights, but it was definitely not enough.

Great location. Clean and good vibes. Souf, the manager, was great!
