Top Essaouira Hotel Reviews

Atlas Essaouira Riad Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This was my first time staying at the Atlas hotel in Essaouira however I’ve dined at this hotel many times. Their breakfast buffet is absolutely amazing. I applaud the buffet manager, the chefs, the servers and the lady at the omelette station on a job well done. I was highly impressed by the decor in the room. It was modern, colorful, clean, bright and absolutely beautiful. This is my favorite hotel in Essaouira and I highly recommend it. I had an amazing stay at this hotel, and can’t wait to visit again."

STE PERLE D'EAU

8/10 Good

"Behind the street door s a great Riad, would recommend. The rooms are big and comfortable and have a kettle. . The hotel is great with a lovely rooftop terrace which overlooks the water. Breakfast is good and staff are friendly and helpful. Only thing of note is that it has no air conditioning but Essaourira is on the coast and cooler so Oct stay this wasn’t an issue."

Résidence Louzani

10/10 Excellent

"As two female travellers and our first time in Morocco, we were very happy to stay in this place on our first few nights. It was spacious and clean and the kitchen fully stocked for us to use. The rooftop view was wonderful to watch the sunset from. The staff was exceptionally friendly, and helped us with our luggage, storing it for us when we checked out for much of the day as well. It is a short walk to the beach and Medina. We felt safe and really enjoyed our stay, we would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet place - location wise it was perfect. Our room could have hosted a larger group/family as well."
