Nice decoration in Maroccan style. Clean. On the main street. Be aware that you are near minaret so it is calling to prayer starting early morning, about 4.30. Seaguls are also very loud on the side facing minaret. Young boy on reception struggle writing latin alphabet, so let the customers fill the formular, it will be easier for both sides. But anyway 10 rate from us!

This is a nice solid hotel, which was clean, comfortable and cozy. Breakfast was really nice, and G-d bless the lovely woman at the kitchen, who makes a fantastic cafe au lait with a huge smile, and even after each of us having three delicious cups, she insisted on making us more, which we had to decline. We loved that there's a Carrefour about a three minute walk from the hotel.

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.

    At Cultural Morocco Tours, we highly recommend including Essaouira in your Moroccan journey. This charming coastal city, known as the “Pearl of the Atlantic,” offers a perfect blend of history, culture, and relaxation. Visitors can wander through its UNESCO-listed medina with whitewashed houses and blue shutters, explore the lively souks and artisan workshops, and enjoy the fresh Atlantic breeze along the city’s beautiful beach. Essaouira is also famous for its delicious seafood, vibrant music scene, and warm, laid-back atmosphere. Whether for a day trip or a few relaxing nights, Essaouira is an unforgettable stop that captures the essence of Morocco’s coastal charm. Cultural Morocco Tours

    Very good hotel for good price. Rooms are clean. Cosmetics and hairdryer in bathroom are available. Breakfast is very tasty and big (it's hard to eat all). Hotel is in good localisation - 15 minutes walking to main beach, in the evening is quiet. Best part of this place are girls working at the reception - very polite, still smiling and trying to help you every time. They told us a lot about the culture of Morocco and gave us a lot of tips. Greetings to them. I hope to come back there.

    We had a very happy stay at VDD. Everything as described and the staff looked after us beautifully. Nice breakfast and laundry done for small fee. Ordered taxis when needed and nothing too much trouble. We only had dinner at the hotel once as we were out most days but it was delicious. Splash pool great and warm enough for children. 5 minute walk to the camel beach and fun beach club restaurants Beach&Friends and Ocean Vagabond. 20min walk to the Medina along beach promenade.

    We really can’t fault this beautiful riad. Everything was perfect from start to finish. The staff are exceptional and took great care of us throughout our stay. From complimentary coffee and water in the spotlessly clean room, to the fresh breakfast (the best we’ve ever had in any hotel). It was a tranquil haven in a buzzing medina. We have no doubt we will be back!
