The riad offered to meet me at the bus station to take me to the riad, which was most appreciated. The riad itself was very easy to get to, and very walkable. The room was large, with a sitting area and a very luxurious bathroom. Breakfast was very good, and the staff were very helpful.

We had a great stay at Riad Emotion. The location is perfect for exploring the medina, with the riad itself then providing an oasis of calm afterwards, with lots of lovely spots to relax and read in. The women who work there are lovely and the owners were very helpful in providing recommendations for places to go and making reservations for us. We would definitely stay again!

Greg & Samira made this already fantastic riad even better with their smiles, helpfulness & general wonderful hospitality! We stayed for two nights, they helped me find medicine for my ill husband & cooked the most delicious tagine that I’ve had so far in Morocco. The riad itself was absolutely beautiful! The bath tub was HUGE the bed comfy & spaces well decorated & kept! Stay here when visiting Essaouira & thank me later. We only hope that we make it onto the picture wall ☺️

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.

Lovely location, interior design, and staff were very hospitable. Given how busy the streets are outside, this felt like an oasis given how quiet it was.

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.
