We loved the minimalistic interior with earthtone coloured Tadelakt and natural light. Quiet, spacious and comfortable. Will miss the heated flooring.

My second favorite riad of my 2 weeks in morocco! such a beautiful riad, quiet, peaceful, with very relaxing vibes. Amazing location, central to everything you need. Owner was so helpful in showing me a map and how to get to different places. I loved my stay here, and would recommend to everybody.

The breakfasts were lovely. I enjoyed the terrace. My room was perfect. I was especially grateful to be on the sea. My friends stayed at a Riad deeper in the Medina and they struggled every night with smoke from burning trash. So I felt so happy to have the cool seabreeze. The staff were also very kind and accommodating.

Very clean. In a good location inside the Medina. Really easy to walk everywhere. The bed was so comfortable and it was quiet. The staff were very friendly and helpful especially Hakim and Abdulrahman. Breakfast was very nice and the eating areas plus the whole Riad were so beautiful and tastefully decorated. They will also make dinner for you if you don't feel like going outside to the many restaurants. Highly recommended!!

Very nice place with super friendly staff. They have an amazing cat. Rooms are nice, a bit humid, but with a strong and hot shower that we loved. The breakfast was one of the best we had in our journey. Recommended!

Everything! Sofitel has not one flaw. Yousra and Ines especially made our stay the most comfortable it possibly could be. They have been so helpful and really made Sofitel shine as much as it already does. Everything from the atmosphere, the ambience the design and the staff is 5 star quality. Me and my sister have fallen in love and will definitely be back it truly is the best place in Essaouira. Thankyou so much to all the staff, and personal thanks to Yousra and Ines. We will be seeing you again at sofitel! 🙏🙏❤️

Everything! The room, number 31, was a fantastic loft (bed over the bathroom), simplistically designed, and elegant. The staff was smiley, welcoming, and helpful. The courtyard is gorgeous, and judging by the busy evenings, the restaurant serves good food. The location was a short walk to the harbor, but on a more calm but centralized street. The price was fantastic for what we got. I could live there.

Didier and Bernadette were very friendly and attentive hosts. The garden and pool areas are very tranquil and the hammam is lovely. The villa has interesting and very tasteful Africa-themed decor. Villa Daba is an oasis of peace and tranquility and we left feeling rested and restored.

I loved the ocean front view and the beautiful design of the room with the colored tiles, the layout, and the beautiful windows. The staff at the Dar Ayour were very nice and made us feel welcome. The fried egg, coffee, and freshly squeezed orange juice at breakfast were so delicious.

We stayed 2 nights at this lovely and well-designed RIAD. Located in the heart of the Médina and very close to the beach. Very clean and spacious rooms (and bathrooms) and superb breakfast & staff. Youssef, the manager, was a great assistance in everything we asked for as arranging laundry, transportation & recommending dinner spots.
