This is by far the best hotel stay we’ve had in ages - never been met with such hospitality. We came here to kite surf, and the lovely and accommodating staff were to helpful with everything (they even let us use the surf shop next door to store and clean our kites). The breakfast was delicious. We even arrived right after a recent renovation period, and were as a result the only guest at the hotel for a few days, and the staff even gave us a free upgrade. We had the pleasure of staying at the honeymoon suite with a ocean view - simply perfect. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay, and can’t wait to be back. And have to mention the beautiful garden as well!

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful especially Khadija and Safaa. The breakfast was copious. Free car parking opposite the hotel - was quite full in December so may be overfull in high season. Hot water for the shower, which was welcome after some other places I've stayed. Water pressure on the third floor not the best but ok. WiFi on the third floor a bit patchy. Quiet location away from the centre but easy walking distance to the beach and Medina. I had some washing, which was done the same day at no charge.

FAQs about hotels in Essaouira

Morocco With a European Twist

Essaouira has developed from a hippie hangout to become a top Morocco beach resort with good surfing conditions. Its 18th-century medina is almost European in feel and narrow streets lead under low arches past fragrant spice stalls and local artisans selling everything from wood carvings to faience pottery.

Dotted around the souk are many traditional-style riads on Booking.com, hidden behind tiled façades and blue doors. Other Essaouira accommodation options include luxury hotels with swimming pools, cheap apartments, and B&Bs near Essaouira Airport.

Also bright blue are the rowing boats bobbing gently in small harbours sheltered by the Scala of the Port, a wide walkway with ramparts through which several historic cannons poke out. At the end is the Citadel, a small fortress overlooking Mogador Island - the largest of the Iles Purpuraires, so-called for the purple shells found in their rocks that were once used to produce dyes for Roman senator togas.

Another fortress – Bordj El Berod – lies in pieces on the long, sandy beach south of the marina. In the opposite direction the coastline is more rocky and lined by the Scala of the Kasbah, the crenellated walls protecting the medina. Horseriding and camel safaris are available on the beach and you can also visit a Berber village inland.

I chose this place for fresh seafood, as advertised.

I chose this place for fresh seafood, as advertised. What I had was an awful, almost-poisonous, life-threatening experience, as my fresh, chosen purchase of tiger prawns had been replaced by rotten ones by the fishmonger. It could have happened while I was struggling to count their foreign money out of my pocket. I ended up being in an embarrassing situation with the apartment owner when I cooked the prawns and polluted the whole building with a foul smell of rotten seafood. I chucked them all out in the bin, and I lost my appetite for the rest of my stay in Morocco. I should have listened to what my friends were saying about this place.

Very relaxed beach town.

Very relaxed beach town. Nice medina and souk but not aggressive as you find in other Moroccan cities. Very high quality art and crafts. Beautiful views and beach, many spas available, very fresh seafood. Excellent restaurants.

The medina is lovely.

The medina is lovely. You can walk around freely with no one hassling you to come into their shop. The locals are lovely and so helpful. The variety of places to eat, have a coffee or just sit and watch are plentiful and its great to wander down all the narrow passageways and discover what is around the next corner. Its safe, easy to get around and Id return in a heartbeat. There is a main shopping street outside the medina where you can find the shops that sell alcohol and more fruit and vegetables. The port has an active fish market but there is fresh fish and a small fish market inside the medina too. The beach is lovely with sunbeds to rent and vendors walking up and down selling tea, biscuits etc. You get asked but you do not get harrassed. Its great.

A big (and much cooler) contrast to Marrakech, Essaouira is a very traditional Berber town, but much smaller, but with lots of good eating options, (no alcohol in most!) The souk is lovely with lots of choice for everything, and the beach area very nice, but being on the Atlantic, prone to wind. We spent our 2nd evening on the sea front watching the sun go down and enjoying fresh sardines - a nice 2 day stop over.

Mix of old town, port and beach.

Mix of old town, port and beach. In danger of becoming a little overrun with tourists during day. All felt very safe. Loads of usual souk shops - especially notable are the wood ones (Thuya). Large gently sloping beach, good for watersports. Don't miss the port - very active during day - buy some fish and get it cooked nearby very cheaply, but can get very busy (and chaotic!). Wide range of restaurants, recommend the Ocean Vagabond at far end of beach. Taros bar is liveliest place, but drinks pricey. Note of caution : We did get get some food poisoning, difficult to be precise, but seemed to stem from one meal at a 'good' restaurant ( I won't name and shame as cannot be totally sure !?) , probably from a salad or fruit dessert ?

Amazing riad in a quiet neighborhood! It is located in a walking distance both to the beach and the city centre, inside the historic medina. Rooms are beautifully decorated with attention to detail. There is a fireplace in the room which they light whenever you want. Beds are really confortable. Breakfast is perfect: very generous and complete with sweet and salty options, orange juice and fresh fruit. Staff of the hotel are very helpful and nice, with very good recommendations. I totally recommend staying here!

We were very happy with the hotel and staff. Location is perfect. Hotel is recommended by Lonely Planet. Morning prayers and music from the square can be an issue for some guests but the windows are good. Our child left a mobile phone in the library and it was handed back to us on the reception. Hotel feels safe and clean, decor is really nice. We have asked for 2 rooms next to each other as travelled with 3 kids and it was done without a problem.

Emma & Giles and their team are lovely, thoughtful people which their hospitality reflects. Giles gave us a lot of useful advice on Essaouira; Emma’s interior decoration skills are worthy of a 5 star hotel and the breakfast provided was extensive and very high quality. The security guard (whose name I didn’t get) helped us fix our broken car.
