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!

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

    We were well taken care of in every way. The staff were smiling and helpful, and the facilities were very good, including a great swimming pool. Our room was super, offering us plenty of space and more than we needed in all ways, but the TV is not for those whose only language is English. The internet connection is very good, and the beach, and the restaurant on the beach are just lovely. As for the breakfasts in the main hotel, they are superb.

    One of the best hotels during our trip to Morocco. Cozy and stylish design, comfortable rooms, very clean and sunny, you can see ocean from the balconies. We also enjoyed delicious breakfast and would like to thank all members of staff for helping to organise birthday cake for people in our group. Riad is very well located, in the centre of medina, close to the ocean and most of the landmarks.
