Explore Essaouira with 250 hotels near iconic landmarks, popular shopping streets, and top dining spots.
Riad Al Khansaa ★★★
"Top. Nice service"
Riad Mimouna ★★★★
"The hotel service and facilities are very good. It is inside the city wall and you need to walk inside. The location overlooks the sea and is relatively quiet. Call the hotel in advance and they will arrange for someone to pick up your luggage outside the city wall gate."
Riad Al Madina ★★★
"The location right in the heart of the Medina is great, but the downside is the noise from its bustling streets until 2 AM. Even with the sound-insulating double-glazed windows, closing them brings in a musty smell, forcing you to open them again. The Moroccan breakfast was good, and the staff were very friendly. They only provide small bars of soap and no shampoo in the bathroom. The room is spacious and has a small flat-screen TV. It's best to ask for a higher floor, and if possible, a quieter room."
Dar Ayman Essaouira ★★★
"Thank you to our host Ahmed, who has created a wonderful place very close to Essaouira and who provided us with excellent service. Dar Aymane is a little paradise from which you can easily reach the most beautiful beaches and kitesurfing spots. Thanks also to Omaima, who gave us a very warm welcome and made our stay truly enjoyable (as did the rest of the staff!). The guesthouse is 15 minutes from Sidi-Kaouki, and the same for Essaouira; it's a quick trip, and we appreciated the peace and quiet after visiting the Medina. We will definitely return and highly recommend it! Thank you, Ahmed! P.S.: Be careful not to pay attention to the negative reviews from Moroccans, as they are from competitors and have clearly lied."
Hôtel Emeraude Essaouira ★
"Excellent hotel and great staff. The breakfast was nice and the terrace was lovely to spend the evening or afternoon getting some sun. The decor was lovely. Great price. Well located close to the entrance by Supratours arrival station."
Riad Sidi Magdoul ★★★
"The room is small, but the environment is okay, and it's convenient for getting around."
Riad Amana ★★★
"The riad's location is ideal, in the Medina, a 7-minute walk from the nearest parking lot. The interior is pleasant; I stayed in the Berkana room. The only amenities I missed were at least water in the room upon arrival. There's no kettle or refrigerator. The humidity is too high for me, and there's no air conditioning to dehumidify the room. The breakfast is very basic: baked goods, tea, coffee, and a glass of orange juice. I would have liked at least a boiled egg, if not scrambled eggs. The staff is attentive and helpful. The bed linens are crisp white, and the beds are comfortable. Overall, it looks nice, but it lacks coziness. The bathroom exhaust fan didn't work, so all the moisture from my shower ended up in the room. It's also not very pleasant to see other people's black hair in the shower."
Luxury Riad Mounia ★★★
"Overall, it's a good hotel, there are some shortcomings of course, but overall, it's in a very good location, there are a lot of cafes nearby, the streets are nice, our room was large, a little renovation wouldn't hurt"
Villa Garance ★★★★
"Absolutely charming staff. Offered a great breakfast on a lovely terrace. We had a beautiful bedroom. Perfectly located within the Souks. They don’t serve alcohol but were happy for us to bring our own to the terrace. We would definitely return."

Riad MALAÏKA
"Very beautiful Riad in a great location. Dinners in the restaurant were amazing - gourmet dinner each time. Great way to end a vacation in Morrocco - a couple of days at the beach with grilled fish by the boats for lunch and a beautiful place to stay with amazing meals."
Riad Emotion
"Best avoided (read till the end). The owner, Mr. Phillipe, doesn't seem interested in running Riad Emotion in a manner that comes across as warm or hospitable to his guests. First thing first, if you do decide to stay here, make sure you have your own towel(s). The towels and bathrobes that we were provided with in the bathroom were completely run down with threads swaying in the air at the edges; more brown from overuse than their original color, white. Breakfast is fine and the women who make breakfast do a good job at it and are perhaps the only ones who are seemingly warm and nice. But, more than anything else, the reason this place is best avoided is because Mr. Phillipe seems to consider guest relations as simply an impersonal business transaction. And, I say this not loosely. But, from a bad experience there. My wife and I stayed for two nights, and unfortunately forgot one of our jackets there. We reached Marrakesh and realized it only while unpacking our stuff. But, we didn't know where we had forgotten the jacket. In the rental car? At restaurants where we ate at in Essaouira? A bench? At Riad Emotion? So, we began calling places, and after calling all the outdoor places, we decided to call Riad Emotion. We were presuming that if we had left it at Riad Emotion then they would obviously call us. Mr. Phillipe is a Frenchman, and to be sure his first language is not English. That's totally fine, of course. But, it's not that he doesn't speak English. We don't know French or Arabic but we had spoken with him in English while staying at Riad Emotion. However, as is sadly common, the first thing that he said when we called to inquire about the jacket was that 'he doesn't speak English.' We pressed on, so he didn't just bang the phone down. And, lo and behold, he carried-on the conversation in English after we said 'hold-on, we just stayed with you, and are calling for something specific.' Nearly two days had passed since we had realized that our jacket was missing. But, to our surprise, upon inquiring about it with Mr. Phillipe, he simply said, "yes, we got your jacket from your room." What?? If you found our jacket from our room, then couldn't you drop us a text, call, or send across an email - our contacts were noted after all when we checked-in. But, here's the kicker. Mr. Phillipe went on to say that if we need our jacket in Marrakesh, it would cost us 700 Dirhams (~70 Euros) as he would have to pay someone. Really? Moroccans that we spoke to in Marrakesh regarding this had their jaws drop at hearing that Mr. Phillipe was asking us to cough up 70 Euros to somehow get us our jacket. No one said it should cost more than 30 Euros at best. We finally worked with someone at the Riad in Marrakesh we were staying at, and who was super helpful to have the jacket picked up from Riad Emotion and delivered to Marrakesh the very next day - all for a token amount compared to what Mr. Phillipe was demanding. We've never had such a strange experience, a"
Riad Dar Zayna
"Excellent stay, nice atmosphere, very well located and super gentle staff. Very very good breakfast. All in a very moroccan style, which we loved. I recommend it."
Hotel Cote Ocean Mogador
"The hotel is very tired. It needs renovation. The furniture is shabby everywhere. All the water from the shower flowed directly into the hallway of the room. The toilet is located so close to the wall that you had to sit on it from the side.))) When booking, they repeatedly emphasized the need for two separate beds. We were given a room with one large bed. We went to the front desk to sort things out. The employee said that she didn’t have any rooms, only on the first floor, and that she would immediately send an employee to separate the two beds. Half an hour later, no one answered. Fifteen minutes later, I called the front desk to ask where the employee was, to which I was told that they should already be with us. I said no one was there. The employee replied that she would send one right away. After another 15 minutes, having received no one, I called again. To which I was told, “Do you really want this done for you now!?” And only after that, with a sour look on their face, did the employees come to change the beds and replace the large mattress with two single ones. Slippers and robes also took a very long time to arrive. The breakfasts were terrible."
Mr & MRS Smith le Jardin des Douars
"Had an exceptional stay here! Stayed in the Choukran room on the second floor of the main house, with a really spacious terrace that overlooked the grounds and land beyond. The service was impeccable, food was incredible and it was such an enjoyable stay. I seemed to be the only solo traveller there but the staff were so accommodating. I can’t wait to visit again!"
Essaouira Lodge
"Parfait Jamal supervises his team with kindness to serve customers as best as possible. We spent 10 pleasant and relaxing days...Thank you to the whole team...They make you love Morocco...its softness, its colors and its cuisine"
Riad Ghazal
"Clean, neat, cozy. Friendly atmosphere and owner. For its money the hotel is very good. I recommend it to tourists with a car."
Hôtel le Médina Essaouira Thalassa Sea & Spa - MGallery
"The location and staff were nice, but the value for money is very poor for a 5-star hotel. The rooms only looked different from the photos, with a leak in the bathroom, and the room wasn't cleaned on the second night. Breakfast is overpriced for what it is (€18 per person). I certainly won't be returning despite the staff's friendliness."
Atlas Essaouira Riad Resort
"Good value for money ...Tema very friendly with kids"
Riad Dar l'Oussia & Spa
"This was a fun place to stay with really helpful staff. Great feel to the place and very functional and spacious rooms. We had a little heater in the room that was great to take the cool edge off at night. Breakfast was excellent and you really can’t beat the location. A roof top bar was a great place to relax and watch the sun set."
Casa Lila & Spa
"The room is large, but there is no desk and few power sockets. Breakfast is basically for vegetarians. Apart from butter, there are no eggs, only bread, cakes, fruits, etc. Although in the old town, it is easy to find."
Mumtaz Mahal
"A wonderful massage in the spa! My wife and I experienced two hour long massages in the hotel spa at very reasonable rates and would recommend them. The hotel is in the old city and has been lovingly restored. The staff in the spa were exceptional and very professional."
Hotel le Golf d'Essaouira & Spa
"So lounge Essaouira is literally the worst nightclub i have ever been to, and i have been to a lot of them in Morocco. The service is really bad, The security guards are the worse and even the manger is not kind at all. I mean im spending real amounts of money in there and not getting a good treatment. this is really not acceptable because i invited some of my friends who are really important in their countries to come and visit Essaouira but the treatment they recieve on this nightclub was something they have never experienced in their lifes. Please look into this… most importantly The security guards and the manager. Not professional at all for a place like that 🥲 i mean the place is amazing but the staff are the worst i have ever seen in my life."
Riad Babette
"excellent experience. read the reviews, go there. Mouhamed and Safia are truly hosts."
Riad Chbanate
"The room is beautiful. Huge tub. Fireplace in the room which they lit for us. Comfortable bed. Some street noise. Breakfast was good. Area around the hotel is not nice. A lot of trash on the ground. It is about 4 to 5 minute walk to more occupied area of the Medina. So at night you are going through some deserted trash filled paths. The plus side is you are right next to a big parking area. So if you are driving in it takes about 2 minutes to get from your car to the hotel. They seem to be understaffed in the morning so you have to carry your own luggage down multiple flights of stairs if you are checking out in the morning. Not much common area if it is raining you are pretty much stuck in your room."
Madada Mogador
"This high class Riad is perfectly situated close to the beach, the bustling port and the Medina. Although a little cramped in the public areas, our suite was enormous, on three levels and tastefully decorated. We did have to go through a small kitchen to get to our door, but that was never a problem. We took our breakfast in our suite, which we enjoyed. The staff were always pleasant and very helpful, and we enjoyed our stay very much. The Riad is also above their truly magnificent restaurant, although I'll talk about that wonderful experience in another post!"
