After reading some of the reviews before staying at this hotel I have to say I'm not surprised. I totally agree with the comments that this is not a true 5 star hotel at all. The positives are the location, the pool area and the rooms (to an extent). From one way its only a short walk to the medina and from the other it's a short walk to the beach bars. The pool area is well maintained and very attracting. The rooms are a good size with comfy bed and powerful shower and they are very clean. However, we started off by having to change rooms as the room we were first given had a chipped bath - all the paint had come up off the bottom of the bath so it was unusable, the staff solved this pretty quickly by offering us a room of the same standard one floor above. Nevertheless, I find it shocking that a 5 star hotel would not maintain their rooms in the first place. We found the cleaning staff and concierges very friendly. Some of the breakfast staff and beach staff, less so. One day we sat on the beach beds and felt looked down on and were not treated as well as some of the other guests. This really put us off and prevented us using this area again. Not sure if this is because we are a younger/mixed couple? Overall, the hotel is lacking in a lot of areas and the Accor group need to look into this. I would definitely visit Essaouira again but would probably rent an apartment since the beach and medina have so many options anyway!

Riad Dar Awil
4.8/539 Reviews
Old Medina
Very nice riad with spacious bedooms, large bathrooms and nicely located at the entrance of the medina. Walking distance to the souk, beach, and activities. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. I arrived late in Marrakech and the hotel manager scheduled a taxi pick up at the airport (about 2h30 drive from there). The staff also helped me get around and provided a map of the medina and gave me addresses of the best restaurants and shops around the area. I had a wonderful time here and would definitely come back to stay at Dar Awil. Moroccans are very friendly and Essaouira is definitely a place to visit, I highly recommend it! By the way, US travelers are welcome to travel here and there are no restrictions, you just need a hotel reservation and a negative Covid test (no quarantine required).
Riad Emotion
4.7/516 Reviews
Old Medina
Riad Emotion is an amazing spot to stay in Essaouira. The light hits this riad perfectly as the fresh air and sun of the wind city sweep you in. The entrance, rooms, and roof terrace could not be more peaceful. Right off of the medina but still close enough to the action. All said, we were lucky enough to travel to Morocco in May after getting the vaccine and while much was still on lockdown they welcomed arms. Cannot recommend Riad Emotion enough! Riad Emotion est un endroit incroyable pour séjourner à Essaouira. La lumière frappe parfaitement ce riad alors que l'air frais et le soleil de la ville du vent vous envahissent. L'entrée, les chambres et la terrasse sur le toit ne pourraient pas être plus paisibles. Juste à côté de la médina mais toujours assez proche de l'action. Tout compte fait, nous avons eu la chance de voyager au Maroc en mai après avoir reçu le vaccin et alors que beaucoup étaient encore bloqués, ils ont accueilli les armes. Je ne saurais trop recommander le Riad Emotion!
Hotel des Iles

Essaouira Coast
Step back in time and luxuriate in the Orson Welles suite, walk to ocean, or relax in the gorgeous pool. This gem retains its original charm and is a completely delightful experience. Listening to the morning calls for prayer with the windows open was just a wonderful experience. Highly recommend. Note this is not a modern 2023 Radisson so you should be a bit more flexible with your expectations at this legendary place.
Hotel Emeraude Essaouira

Old Medina
Very pleasant riad, with a refined, bright decor, in the blues, as I like! We were on the 3rd floor, with direct exit to the terrace, rather small room, but very pleasant, cozy bedding, impeccable bathroom with easy-to-regulate shower (it's not always easy) Hearty breakfast with real juices squeezed orange or tangerine. Frédérique, the director and the staff are very welcoming, attentive and give very good advice Access is easy, very close to the Bab Chbanat, the beach, with a beautiful promenade is very close

Hotel Dar El Qdima
4/515 Reviews
Old Medina
Me and my husband are locals and we have stayed here one night to be repeated surely when coming to essaouira city. They give discounts for big groups and long term stays – I recommend contacting them directly for the best price. This is an authentic Moroccan riad loaded with antiques painstaking collected by the local owners over the years and decorated as a labor of love and coziness. Tea is happily provided when welcoming. Breakfast can be included with the room hot and fresh. There is a calm energy and a coziness about the place. They seem to love the riad and their guests. It is in an easy and fabulous location in the Medina. A short walk to the beach, the square, souk and squala. Finding it is super easy using google maps. I highly recommend this riad, especially for English speakers looking for an authentic Moroccan experience! Thank you Teresa and Loqman.
