Central to the medina

The owners were very helpful and it is very central to the medina. The breakfasts were lovely. However the room was cramped and the bathroom was actually in the room, so you could hear everything. A nice place but I would be very careful about which room you book

An oasis - but you have to get to it!

Friendly hosts and full of character. But it is a basic B&B in part of a very old market area and as soon as you walk out the confines it hits you! People buying and selling and invariably crowds of people often in narrow dimly lit streets. An experience yes. But you probably would not want to stay too long even with the oasis of your lodgings to escape to!

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Trop cher pour ce qui est offert par d'autres hébergements comparables. Petit déjeuner est plutôt ordinaire. La literie et serviettes auraient besoin d'être renouvelées pour maintenir à niveau la qualité initiale. Etant donné la rudesse du climat maritime d'Essaouira pour les bâtiments, Dar Daryana mériterait plus d'attention. Mais je me dois de souligner la gentillesse du couple chargé d'assurer l'accueil, le service aux clients et l'entretien.

Lovely riad in the Essaouira medina

This hotel is very charming and cute, has a great location, and the staff, Hafid and Hakima, were extremely helpful and welcoming from when I arrived to when I left. I had one of the smaller rooms, the Corail, but it was still quite comfortable, clean, had a good shower and a nice view. For a small extra price you can have breakfast in the courtyard. Overall everything was excellent and I highly recommend it.

Smultronställe

Fantastiskt ställe, en riktig oas! Vi fick fin information om staden och tips på vad vi skulle göra och några smultronställen i Essaouira. Det har sagts innan, men tål att upprepas, underbar frukost i den fina trädgården. Hade gärna stannat lite till och om vi återvänder till Essaouira hoppas jag vi får tillfälle att bo här igen!

A Maroccan gem

This place is just fantastic. The managers are a cute and super friendly couple. They will help you with all your needs and provide you with a fantastic breakfast! It's only a 4 room riad so it's perfect in you want an intimate feeling. Each room is different from the next! We stayed there by our selfs and it was just amazing. There rooftop terrance is good, but its the garden that really makes it super. Can't recommend this enough!
