We visited Dar L’Oussia for dinner and were warmly welcomed. The hotel is very pretty, and the food was delicious. Staff were attentive, making our experience pleasant. The only minor drawback was the limited vegetarian options, though this is understandable given the focus on meat and fish dishes in this region. Overall, a pleasant place for a meal.

I loved the location. It was literally beside the shopping/tourist areas. It was the only place i felt safe venturing on my own. they have a cute gift shop. I loved that they reuse vintage fabrics for their new fashion. They really should expand it more Staff friendly. slight pushy in terms of trying to get you to eat at their hotel. Only issue. NO elevator. have to go up and down the stairs. their restaurant is on the roof top so quite a number of stairs to go up Rooms were clean Toilet room... slight odour to it. Shower. lip is low so sometimes can flood the floors if not careful. Has a safe. Rooms a bit on dim side even with all lights on. Internet was adequate but at times slow. Breakfast - it was all carbs. wish that it had some meat to the meals we had lunch here. Fish was fresh and lovely.

Super nice Riad in the middle of a beautiful town. We loved the Riad, it was super comfortable. Many stairs to climb to get to the roof top for breakfast. Not friendly for people with disabilities. They made very good margaritas.

The dining room is beautiful, the staff is very helpful, and the food absolutely delicious. The tajines arrived bubbling hot from the kitchen and were perfectly seasoned. I would definitely recommend it.

This is a convenient location for the sights of Essaouira, a lovely town. There is no elevator, water bottles in the room, or tissues but I still rate it highly. It is a beautiful riad with a nice courtyard. The room configuration was different; beds and sofa in the middle or the room, toilet room on one side of the beds, and sink and shower on the other side. A small bit of soap at the sink and pump containers for body wash and shampoo in the shower. There is a small bar in the main room with couches and low tables and it was nice to have a break with a cold drink after shopping in the souk which is very near. They have a small gift shop.

Kind staff, nice restaurant and the rooms were comfortable. The hotel does not have elevators, but we are stair climbers, so not an issue. The porter staff hauled our bags up, thank goodness, since we were 4 floors up. Just a bit quirky that the toilet was on one side of the room and the sink to wash your hands on the other side? Enjoyed our stay and enjoyed the view from the rooftop.

Very well located hotel located just inside the walls of the old city and just a short walk to many many restaurants inside and outside the walls. The hotel itself is beautiful, but, be aware that there are NO elevators in this location. We had to climb 4 flights of winding stairs to get to our room.we didn't mind the exercise (in fact, we welcomed it) just don't forget anything! The room was nice and kinda quirky. Toilet in the closet (literally) and shower on the other end of the room. Also, be aware that there is no AC in this hotel. Which, on a muggy night, could become quite uncomfortable. We had our windows opened but the smell of wood fire throughout the night destroyed our allergies. Ahhhh the adventures of traveling - a fun story to tell. Breakfast was great and coffee hot. Eggs cooked to order. Overall, we would recommend it.

the small hotel is located between the beach and the clock tower, which marks the beginning of the market area. staff are lovely, the rooms are large and beautiful (mine had a king bed and i understand some are nicer!) the breakfasts are excellent. in-room wifi is excellent and bathroom lighting is excellent, too. the building is wrapped around a center courtyard, and very nicely decorated. as is common, the stairways are spiral, but adequate handrails are in place.

We were staying at the Villa de L'Ô opposite which foesnt offer food, and we decided one night to partake of the resturant. A very friendly hotel that offers in- house dining. No alcohol but no big deal. Nice starters and a great meal. Friendly staff, nice dining area and a roaring fire.Essaouira has many fine resturants but this is to be recommended.
