Hotels in Essaouira

Riad resort is beautiful, huge and has a lot of facilities. Beach front is surreal

Massive convention hotel in a relatively small town, which actually was a nice break from the small coziness of our Marrakech riad.

Good value for money ...Tema very friendly with kids

Very good hotel. Friendly staff Excellent food

There is a big swimming pool which is great! It's just that the weather has been a bit cold these two days, which is perfect for playing on the beach and swimming with your children!

Good stay overall. Everything went well.

Had an awesome time Free shuttle was great Golf course was awesome Breakfast was amazing

quiet and friendly hotel, but below European and Asian standards Friendly and helpful staff The hall is very nice but the rooms need a good refresh Good experience overall

Thank you for Sofitel Essaouira Mogador Golf & Spa team 💕

The hygiene of the room was good, but we booked a room with two beds. The distance between the two beds is so small that they feel like they are connected together. And because it is a resort hotel, there is no place to put the computer in the room, and there is no decent table. It seems like people over there don't use computers at all when they're on vacation. In addition, it took me a long time...

The hotel is great, a pleasant welcome with mint tea, the room is very spacious, several swimming pools, in the evening there are nice activities with the possibility of shisha, the breakfast is good, the dinner varies. And if you want to go out to the nightclub, it's good too.

Nice welcome with tea and cakes, fairly lively room service, the two swimming pools are very good, one of which is natural without chlorine, breakfast there is really a choice and a waiter at the top. Advantage burkini ok shuttle that brings you back to town every hour, with family or friends, a nice place.

Excellent in every way. Wonderful location with breathtaking views, truly kind, helpful and friendly staff, really nice breakfast and excellent meals.

Extraordinary! Beautiful setting right over the Atlantic Ocean. Exceeding friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Probable one of the most premiered location in Essaouira

Lovely friendly staff, made you feel so welcome. Fabulous views of the sea Travelling with my daughter and felt a very safe area for us to stay and explore

Excellent Riad, clean and close to restaurants and shopping. Staff were helpful and very pleasant. Beautiful rooftop views

Stayed one night in a sea view suite, it was absolute heaven. Thank you very much!

Very very nice resort hotel, good for a staycation. Hotel is clean and beautiful, staff is nice and helpful.

When we entered the hotel, we were immediately impressed by the beautiful lobby. Our room was equally lovely – newly renovated with a tasteful and modern design. A very nice touch was the daily in-room snacks, such as nuts and fruit, which our kids especially enjoyed. The breakfast was also excellent, offering a wide selection including sweets, fresh yogurt, hummus, salads, local marmalade varieties...

The free hot breakfast was fantastic, with fresh waffles, classic English breakfast and even porridge, perfect for all tastes. The room was clean, quiet and cozy, with a comfy bed, ergonomic work desk and free high-speed WiFi, ideal for both leisure and business trips. 24-hour front desk offered great service with luggage storage, and the 24-hour gym with Peloton bikes was a nice bonus.

Nice hotel, perfect location (5 minutes walking to Medina), has their comfortable zone at seaside. Good service. The hotel is not new, some shabby, bathroom needs a repair- but it’s clean and well packed (including bathrobe and slippers). Breakfast is also fine, but not for 5*. I believe that it’s a good choice hotel (not riad) for travelers who prefer good location, clean and comfortable place and...

Excellent value for money, close to the medina, with 1 hour free access to the thalassotherapy center.

Great service - friendly staff, tea on arrival, baggage delivered to room Room was a very good size, super comfy bed, little balcony, decor was a bit tired but nothing major Facilities were great - spa was amazing, pool area was chilled, private beach was really nice to relax on Location was 10 minutes walk to the medina, beach was across the street

We stayed in Villa De L’o for a week. The location just inside the walls of the town and opposite the beach is excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was traditional Moroccan : fruit, pancakes, pastry, omelette, and more which we enjoyed each morning. Our bedroom was overlooking the beach and had both a shower and a bath. It was large and cleaned every day. The sun deck needed...

We spent 8 nights at this superb Riad. The hotel staff were incredible. Couldn't do enough for us and so very helpful and friendly. We felt truly welcome. Great recommendations for restaurants too! Room was spacious and comfortable. Quiet - just the seagulls and the calls to prayer from the local minarets awoke us in the mornings. Lovely atmosphere and rich in Moroccan heritage. The town itself is...

Superb Riad inside the fortified Medina of Essaouira. Great team on reception able to speak French and English. Capacious rooms with wonderful ensuite. Fabulous breakfast with different patisserie and egg options and very attentive service. Suitcases carted outside to waiting taxi as not able to enter Medina

The building is absolutely remarkable. It's got some wonderful touches, amazing history, large rooms with big bathtubs, and a rooftop overlooking the ocean. The staff were truly the best. They were accommodating, friendly, and hard-working. Our only suggestion would be that the owners – who we did not meet – invest in the place a little bit more. They've definitely done their job with making the rooms...

Upon our arrival at Villa De L'Ô, we were warmly greeted by Nouredino, whose friendliness and helpfulness set a welcoming tone for our stay. Over the course of five days, we found the highlight of our experience to be the exceptional service provided by the entire team. The hotel is at a prime location, just a few minutes' walk from both the main shopping areas and the beach. Included in our stay...

The team were amazing. So attentive and kind. We checked in and they had upgraded us to the next room size. Thankfully!!! I had an allergic reaction the first night and the next day, they were all asking after me and wanted to make sure I was OK. They were brilliant. We felt so welcome. Yes the place is a bit older but it adds to the charm. Essouira is an old town and you take it with its quirks...

The room was nice and clean, with no dust or odour. The location is great with so many shops and restaurants within walking distance. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The third-floor rooms don't have a balcony, but it didn't bother me. If you need the room with a balcony, it's better to contact them ahead. The breakfast is nice and freshly made, it is served on the rooftop. If you advised them...

Fantastic ! The place is beautiful and peaceful, but what really makes it special is the staff. Staff were all so kind and welcoming . I’ve stayed in many hotels and riads before, but Keltoum truly stands out. She’s one of those rare people who does her job from the heart , always smiling, caring, and genuinely helpful..she makes you feel like you’re at home. Highly recommend this riad for anyone...

Personnel sympathique, chambre suite berbère agréable avec une belle vue dégagée sur la mer au loin. Petit déjeuner sur le toit terrasse agréable. En plus de ça la localisation du Riad est parfaite au sein de la Médina. Seulement a quelques minutes a pied des commerces et de super restaurants traditionnels avec du poisson frais d'Essaouira

Riad Casa Blanca is a wonderful traditional riad in a perfect location, in the heart of the Medina. Hosts were always available and room was regularly cleaned, new towels and sheets. A gorgeous sunfilled roof terrace to relax with a good book during the afternoon. The Riad has everything you need and includes the following great features: Medium water pressure Quiet location, very peaceful Good...

Without a doubt, the best choice we made in Essaouira. We traveled as a couple throughout Morocco and have visited other riads. Riad Casa Blanca isn't the most luxurious of them all, but it is the most welcoming. It's hard to feel at home outside of your home, but here the feeling is very similar. You have total freedom and independence, comfort, and all the basics to enjoy a pleasant and relaxing...

A small but charming riad in the heart of Essaouira's medina. Owner-run, the staff is always very friendly. The rooms are affordable, the standard is reasonable, and the breakfast is very, very good. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed our stay at Riad Belle during the Gnoua music festival this past June. It was in a very good location for the festival in the heart of the old city. The staff was friendly and we got good recommendations for eateries in the process.

My partner and I stayed at the Riad Belle Essaouira for 7 days and loved it. The room was very comfortable and tastefully decorated. Breakfast on the terrace needs to be mentioned, the ocean view is breath taking. The quality of the food was great, fresh fruit salad, good coffee and Moroccan delicacies, like pancakes. Two women, aside from the owner, looked after us. They were both charming and...

This is a really nice and warm place to be in Essaouira. The girl that owned that place is so nice and the rooms are really beautiful and with lot of details done with lot of care and love. She is really kind from the first moment. The terrace is nice and they serve the breakfast there, really nice to have it seeing the sea. Really good location, in the Medina, near the sea. Really good option ...

The room was clean enough, but the customer service was not good the day before yesterday. It's close to the attractions, making it convenient for sightseeing. It's also very close to the ancient city and the beach, but the price is not cheap 😲. The breakfast selection is limited.

Gorgeous hotel, far lovelier than the photos: atmospheric and calm, like a wee sanctuary yet in the middle of the bustling medina. We were in a room on an outside wall the first night, which was noisier, but were then kindly moved to a room on the internal courtyard, which was lovely. There's a little table and chairs by your door, on the balcony area, too. The room and bathroom were really clean ...

Very nice and well located riad in the median. It was a very good sized room and not far from the beach and centrally located. We really enjoyed our stay if you have trouble with stairs, you might want to get a lower level room. We did not have food there but it smelled amazing. There is a restaurant in a bar at the riad. A great sized rooftop terrace. The only thing I wish the room had was a small...

Excellent location, spacious and comfortable room (no refrigerator), good buffet breakfast (fair), the bathroom was awful... the water from the shower came out from under the door (... the floor was completely open) with no curtain and everything ended up dripping with water, when paying the municipal tourist tax they charged me 120 Dhm... and not 10€ as stated in the reservation itself... No matter...

10/10 review 3 nights of sheer enjoyment. Good food and service. Thanks especially to Kawter who takes huge pride in the Riad and encourages guests to come back.

What an amazing Hotel with Old world Moroccan charm. All the staff are super friendly and go out of their way to help. Was given a choice of rooms at check in. Nice Breakfast in the morning.

The staff were incredibly helpful with whatever we needed, the breakfast was great, comfortable space with a fire to spend time in away from the bedroom

Really nice place with nice staff. The best place we have stayed in a long time

Delicious breakfast, beautiful riad - just as like on the pictures. The owner and his family members (staff) were very helpful and kind.

We stayed at this Riad for 2 nights. The environment is lovely and the owners are the most helpful. They accommodate all your wishes. The woman is a great cook and the two men are always there to help. We used the spa and had a massage and and Hammam which was great. The Riad is about a 10 min ride from Essouria. I highly recommend.

Fantastic riad. Our favorite out of four cities in Morocco. The ocean view suite was absolutely fabulous. Perfect views any time of day. Amazing to watch and listen to the waves. Breakfast on terrace simply spectacular. Very pleasant staff. Would gladly return there!

"The stay was alright, but the bathroom had a burned-out light that made it pretty inconvenient. The room itself felt too small for the price, and overall it just didn't feel worth the money. There are definitely better options out there." Wifi and 4/5G are non existent in the second floor where we were. My wife couldn’t work from the room.

nice, clean convenient, enjoyed the room and the scenery from the roof

A pearl in the Medina indeed. A wonderful room, facing the pounding Atlantic, with easy access to all of Essaouira. The breakfast was a great start to the day. My hamman and massage -- like my wife's pedicure and facial -- were refreshing, relaxing and effective. Add the amazing staff, and we'd come here anytime Essaouira calls.

We stayed in the Riad Perle D’eau for two nights and loved it so much that we booked four more. Firstly, if you have never strayed in a riad then DO IT. They are like Doctor Who’s Tardis., A small unassuming entrance and then boom, inside an oasis of beauty. Only a handful of rooms , built around a central core with lots of nooks and crannies just waiting to be discovered What a beautiful location...

Location and room size was good

My stay was generally good, just a little disappointed by the level of hygiene. My room was not cleaned throughout my stay even though I stayed 7 days.

Friendly and helpful staff add to the relaxing comfort of this very reasonably priced hotel which is only 3 blocks walk ro the beach and main promenade. I loved my little balcony and the security screen so I could leave door open and get sea breeze during day and night. Breakfasts are plentiful and Karim will help with any queries. A thoroughly lovely experience.

Quite a tired property and needs some serious updating.

Such a lovely riad in the heart of the medina set on a quiet street. Big beautiful rooms, spotlessly clean too. The most friendly and helpful staff and a great breakfast each morning. All round a great place to stay!

A beautiful Riad in the medina of Essaouira. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. The delicious breakfast gets served on the rooftop. I can recommend this also to solo women travelers, as it’s very safe and centrally located.

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. Ryan Watier is stylish with lots of interesting art and artefacts, lovely communal spaces and is spotlessly clean. Our room was large, very comfortable and had a charming terrace. The all female staff were so helpful especially Fatiha and...

Down a tiny alleyway on rue Ceuta (according to the map) or rue Sebta, (according to the signs) you will find Riad Watier. Named after the French engineer credited with stopping the dunes encroaching on Essaouira (something he achieved in part by planting eucalyptus trees, which you can still see on the approach to the city), Riad Watier has an airy, bohemian atmosphere, entirely in keeping with the...

What stands out among all the excellence is the warmth of the staff! The rooms are very spacious and the whole riad has great character and art. The rooftop terrace was a great place for breakfast and the enjoy the views!

Warm welcome from the staff and owner and excellent suggestions for activities, food, and shopping. Very accommodating and great location.

Perfect stay in Essouira. Highly recommend! It’s beautifully decorated and spotless. Feels like you are staying in a private home. Breakfast on rooftop is fabulous. Location is central and on a quiet street. Gisele is an amazing host. Hope to be back!

We had a fantastic stay at Riad Émotion. From the first moment entering the Riad, you can sense the serene, quiet, and calming atmosphere. It is stunningly decorated with local art in both common areas and the rooms. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and spotlessly clean. The staff is helpful and welcoming and happy to give local recommendations. Breakfast on the terrace is the perfect start to...

The Riad delighted from the moment of arrival. Tea served in the beautiful lobby in front of the tiled water feature, lovely friendly welcome and the scent of orange blossom. The room was stunning, so clean, comfortable and attention to detail everywhere. All the communal areas felt so authentic and lovingly styled. A hidden gem on the roof top with relaxing places to relax and views of the town....

Excellent small Riad which is in a great central Location. The Riad is clean, very peaceful and the staff are friendly and welcoming. Each morning guest are treated to the most delicious home cooked breakfast which is served in a beautiful location: a true highlight of the riad that sets you up for the day. This accommodation is highly recommended.

Riad Emotion is a must stay while in Essouria. This was our favourite Riad in Morocco, topping all the wonderful spots we stayed in Marrakesh, for a fraction of the price. The interior design, restoration and decoration of this Riad was nothing but perfection. The staff were all extremely accommodating and kind. The homemade breakfasts were a particular delight each morning, including yogurt, fresh...

I cannot begin to describe how wonderful this riad is. It is stunningly beautiful, peaceful and calm, and has such kind people working there. The rooms are wonderful, the breakfast is delicious. This was my favorite stay in all my time in Morocco! I would absolutely come here again.

We had an excellent stay in the top floor room. The staff was kind and helpful answering all of our questions. The breakfast was delicious. They were especially helpful in being patient with us when our flights were delayed home. We loved this spot of our trip!

Staff very helpful to find a local guide after our guide cancelled last minute

We stayed here for one night. We would have loved to have stayed on for longer but there was no reservation. The Riad is totally unassuming from the outside. Having just landed and driven in Casablanca, our pensive mood lifted once the Front Door opened. This is an old building renovated to a high standard. We had the Panorama Suite, which provided an amazing rooftop view. The rooms were very comfortable...

Staff were incredibly hospitable and courteous and offered tea upon arrival. The riad was very clean and in a safe location. The breakfast was excellent with many options to choose from.

Nice staff clean and good location in essaouira love the Riad

Beautiful riad with a very friendly staff. Felt very relaxed here. Perfect place to stay when visiting Essaouira.

The Hotel des Iles has an excellent location, sitting as it does just across a road from the beach, only a couple of minutes walk to an entrance into the medina and not much more to the famous Squala fort by the port of Essaouira. It is a very nice 4* hotel in a splendid building set in nice grounds with a lovely big swimming pool. I did however feel that the outside looks tired and is in need of...

This hotel is well located just across from the seafront in Essaouira and only a few minutes walk away from the harbour and the the alleys of the old town. It's clearly been a grand hotel in its day. The main building has original features. We were accommodated in one of the bungalows around the pool and garden area. These buildings were probably state of the art when they were build but are now showing...

The hotel's main advantage is its location. Medina and the beach are nearby. Everything else is so-so. All the furniture and plumbing look like they were made in the middle of the last century. The breakfasts don't correspond to 4 stars at all. Instant coffee... Everything that the guests ate for breakfast is no longer replenished. If you come a little later, there will be almost no choice. So the...

The best feature of this place is the location, just across from the beach and a very short walk to the lovely Medina. I’m sure it would have been a deluxe place to stay a number of decades ago but it is in serious need of a complete renovation. The rooms don’t have air conditioning, a fridge of any sort and no windows to open just the sliding door onto the porch which we kept open, to find a cat sleeping...

We had an amazing stay at Dar Nafoura! The staff is absolutely lovely here and made sure to make us feel at home! They really are the nicest people!! Also, I recommend trying Khadija’s food, it’s delicious!

We had an amazing stay at Dar Nafoura! The staff is absolutely lovely here and made sure to make us feel at home! They really are the nicest people!! Also, I recommend trying Khadija’s food, it’s delicious!

Lovely little Road, nice breakfast but carbohydrate heavy so be aware diabetics. Room and bed were comfortable and hot water working well. The staff at the hotel were friendly and professional and were really nice to put up with my almost nonexistent French. I would recommend for authentic stays.

Spacious room and bathroom, cute interior, simple but tasty breakfast, easy to find in the medina, friendly staff who offer a map of the area and some tips. However the bathroom needs work : barely any water comes out of the shower and there isn't always hot water. The open shower format makes it so that water gets everywhere. There is no fan and the only window gives inside so the humidity never really...

Very good place to stay Great riad with excellent service. The staff were very kind and helpful, which made my stay very pleasant. Highly recommended

Location: The location is great. It's very central, just 5 minutes to the main market. Hotel/Riad: Riad itself is already a bit older, everything is in ok condition but it needs some renovations soon. Our room was not the best, the ventilation in the bathroom was broken, the mattress was terrible and so were the pillows. Also the room could have been cleaner. Our bed did not feel clean and had some...

The mosy lovely owners ever, they were very helpful and made my stay extremely comfortable, the breakfast was generous a'd the rooms were very good too, the decorations are stunning and blend perfectly with the city vibes. The terasse is phnomenal !

Very satisfied with the lovingly renovated riad, room, breakfast, and friendly service. Disadvantage: credit card payment is not possible; you need to bring cash.

A peaceful stay with an ocean view Excellent stay at Dar Cherazade & Spa. Charming riad in the heart of the medina, tastefully decorated. Attentive staff. Comfortable room, terrace with a magnificent sea view, and delicious breakfast. Perfect for relaxing in Essaouira. I highly recommend it!

great place, stunning terras and very central place. close to the harbor, souk,... everything is just a few minutes walk. very friendly personnel and great breakfast. roomy and tidy rooms! recommended it!

An incredibly beautiful place to stay. The rooms are lovely, but the common areas—of which there are many—are truly stunning and tastefully designed. My girlfriend and I only stayed here for two nights, but it’s the perfect spot for a longer stay. It’s also ideal for staying with larger groups or for remote work.

Super nice and helpful staff, Imad was ready to help and offer all services. Highly recommend the Hamam which is super clean and also the massage as the massage room has a special view to the ocean. Rooms are nice and clean and common areas are spacious.

This riad was organised by @GAdventures as part of the Highlights of Morocco Tour. It was a located in the middle of the medina and also close to port, with many good food options just outside. The rooms, whilst well-appointed seemed to have a slight musty smell to them and thus I slept with my courtyard window open. A few other travellers in my group reported the same and one couple asked to change...

Nice location for access to the town and beach, only downside to this was the noise levels as you're right next to one of the mosques so the 6am call to prayer is VERY loud and nightlife from the streets can go on late into the night. Room was clean and well equipped. Breakfast on the lovely multi level terrace was varied and plentiful. Great views from our room being on the third floor, very grateful...

Good view and it's inside the medina it's also walking distance from the the beach the breakfast is good and also the rooftop 😀

Traditional riad hotel in the old town medina, right in the heart of all the pedestrian lanes of colourful shopping stalls, restaurants and market. Few minute walk to the long sandy beach, boat harbour, fish market and ramparts. Small elevator was nice for access to upper levels. Twin bedroom was small. Beds comfortable. Basic bathroom with shower. Good hot water and pressure. No room safe. Lots of...

Very excellent riad, right in the best part of the kasbah. But do not stay here if you are bothered by hearing the Muslim call to prayer five times per day, including 6:30 am. Didn't bother me. We are in a Muslim country and they have their ways. Roll over and go back to sleep and feel comforted that you don't have to hurry to prayer.

The room is okay, but overpriced. The best thing is the location. The breakfast is standard.

This hotel was absolutely beautiful, and the staff was very welcoming and friendly from the moment we arrived. There is someone outside to assist with parking and help with your luggage, which was very convenient and appreciated. The location is truly perfect—it’s directly across from the beach and less than a five-minute walk to the medina. I’m not exaggerating when I say the location is excellent...

Absolutely delightful. We are delighted and grateful for the pleasure we had choosing this hotel. The location is excellent, close to the beach, the promenade for strolls, restaurants, and the Medina. The room is small but cozy, with a balcony with a gorgeous ocean view, a comfortable bed, excellent linens, a kettle, tea bags, and coffee. Parking is available for hotel guests. The breakfast is buffet...

Good location, room neat and clean, close to beach. Safe neighborhood. Breakfast options limited, slow service.

From the moment I checked in, the staff from the front desk to the café and restaurant were incredibly professional and welcoming. Their cheerful attitudes and outstanding customer service made our stay truly enjoyable. I highly recommend this hotel and would gladly stay here again!

Essaouera on the beach!!! Beautiful hotel, great service. Right on the beach. Amazing locatiom and fantastic service.

Villa Quieta is a little further away from the medina than other lodging, but DO NOT let that discourage you. It is a lovely stroll down the promenade to the medina or a 7 dirham taxi ride. It is absolutely worth it to stay here. My friend and I stayed here during our two day trip to Essaouira. We splurged for the large suite and we were so glad we did. It was really spacious and could easily accommodate...

Beautifully furnished. Outstanding service. Wonderfully warm and friendly staff. A memorable experience all around. Thank you Villa Quieta!

Beautiful property with garden and pool. Not the closest to the Medina but a great location next to the beach. Quick taxi or easy 30 min walk. Nice clean, comfortable, and big room with good lighting. Friendly, helpful staff who got me into Dar Baba last minute (worth a dinner). The automated shutters were a nice feature if you want to sleep in.

This is a beautiful property on a quiet street. The staff are very professional and laid-back. The breakfasts are great. You can order eggs as well. I wish we had more time to enjoy the various sitting areas, but we were out and about when we were there.

Just spent our short stay in Essaouira at this hotel and I could not have asked for more. It’s close to the hustle and bustle of the Medina but yet tranquil and serene. I had a room with a balcony so could sit and watch the sunset over the sea which is my favourite place to be. We were three ladies on a short break and the suite we had could more than accommodate our needs. The hotel was spotlessly...

Very pleasant hotel. Spacious, lovely rooms and comfortable beds. Swimming pool was lovely and really nice place to chill for a few hours. Breakfast was fine, same everyday though and far too much food, I hope the leftover isn't wasted. Staff were quiet and helpful. We just found it lacked atmosphere, quite a functional feeling to the place. Bill needs to be settled by cash which was a surprise for...
