Took our first trip to Morocco in March 2009. We found Dar L’Oussia ( riad style small hotel) to be very well situated just inside Essaouira's medina walls and a short stroll from the main taxi drop off point. The hotel was very clean and very tastefully decorated and well appointed. Probably due to the season we were among just... more

Unfortunately our stay was just 2 nights. Not nearly long enough! The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and rooms of a super standard with rose petals placed on the turnback. Nice touch. The Riad is really close to the town and harbour and the internet was free. Wonderful. But the highlight for us was the riad's hamman. What a... more

Very nice , moroccanian styly hotel. Very clean, nice histirical location (near harbour) in medina, beautiful view from terrace... We had a few days in paradise. It was just perfect place for honemoon! more

We stayed here for 3 nights in mid August, we were on the second floor and had booked a standard room - we weren't disappointed with the room, very spacious with a separate toliet and separate shower area. The safe was not attached to anything and so we decided that wasn't very secure and ended up carrying our important stuff... more

The room was lovely, great size, king sized four poster bed with rose petals on the bed and in the bathroom. The room had a seperate toilet and a wardrobe with a... more

Perfect location! Clean room! Good service! Hakim & Medi are very gently at the bar! A great place to stay in Essaouira. more

Has good location near Bab Sba, with views of the bay from its rather nice roof terrace. However, it is well overpriced (1400 DH, nearly £90 for a so-called luxury - see below) double. Booking by phone, I was told that only luxury rooms were available, but as I later discovered, this was clearly not true. A more realistic price... more

Nice riad - but the worst staff we came across in all the places we stayed in Morocco. Booked late so only had deluxe rooms left. They were lovely even if expensive. HOWEVER one of the rooms had a blocked shower, the first day it was used the water flooded the bedroom and ruined some of our stuff which was... more
