This is a lovely house in Essaoura, easy to find, right off the main plaza, run by an interesting French couple. When we arrived, Booking.com, which issues bookings from several sources, had caused the riad to be overbooked, so the proprietors paid for us to stay in a riad a block away and upgraded our room, as an apology. There... More

We stayed in this Dar for 5 nights. Very helpfull staff. In the evening they made a fire wood in the sitting room where we could use our laptop to watch tv via wifi with a nice cup of mint tea. A good breakfast is served on the rooftop terrace or in the patio. We could park our bikes in... More

Very well restored Riad, rooms furnished with great taste and very clean, each of the rooms has its own atmoshphere and colours, with all necessary confort (without TV thank god). Breakfast on the terrace is wonderful. Located inside the Medina, but calm and very close to port (seafood from the grill) and beach, and just next to Café de France... More

Spent two weeks in Morocco at Christmas and ended the holiday at Dar Ness. What a great finish! The staff were helpful and friendly. The night manager recommended some great restaurants for dinner and made the best mint tea in town when we got home in the evening. Was so nice to sit around a nice warm fire at night... More

We travelled to Essaouira from Marrakech for a change of scenery and cooler temperature and stayed overnight at Dar Ness before returning to Marrakech the following afternoon. We found it easily in a very central location along a quiet street just off the Main Square and very close to the beach. Although not on the sea front, the sea can... More

I stayed in this hotel for three nights during the annual Gnawa festival. It was ideally situated, being close enough to the main stage to be agreeably lulled to sleep by the last concert of the night, but far enough away not to be bothered by crowds in the street outside the hotel. The staff are charming and helpful, my... More

We chose this hotel just the day before we arrive and it became one of the best surprises in our trip. Although the people were a little more friendly than in the other riads we were, they were always pleased to help us with what we asked for. The only missing thing was the mint tea that in other places... More

Last week we arrived to Essaouira after 6 long hours of driving. I was tired, hungry, and had three secret wishes: to eat something good as soon as possible, find a nice riad, and find a good bookstore. Essaouira miraculously took care of all our wishes within one single hour: we parked twenty meters away from the small restaurants at... More

We stayed at Dar Ness for four nights and negotiated a reasonable off-season rate for a room on the second floor, which has its own small terrace area. It's a beautiful quiet place, simply and elegantly furnished - the open fire in the small lounge in the evenings was a lovely cosy touch at this time of year. We found... More
