Dar El Paco is very clean and provides a great night sleep. Breakfast is filling and served on time, the staff is first class. Kitchou was very informative and professional and made sure all our needs were catered for. We loved the location and the views from the rooftop.

People have to be realistic. I stayed in the Atlas room which should have a view of the Atlas Mountains - nope. Room was nice and spacious. Shower control very touchy and 'bathroom' very small 5/10 Breakfast was basic and coffee was bad, but good enough to kick start the day. Staff were lovely and couldn't do enough - no... More

We stayed for several nights at Dar El Paco and enjoyed every part of the experience. We were lucky enough to stay in the Ifrane room, which is very quiet, finished to an impeccable standard and had a particularly comfortable bed - highly recommended! Staff are so happy and friendly and the place is always full of infectious humour and... More

We had a great stay at El Paco (hard to believe the previous review was of the same place). Staff were really helpful, breakfast was great. We were given good recommendations about local places to eat and those we tried were very good. The accommodation was excellent value. Essaouira was a great place to stay. The shopkeepers were less persistent... More

Our room was not ready on our arrival so we were sent to have lunch whilst our luggage was just left in reception. On our return, over an hour later the room was still not ready so the man on reception went upstairs and shouted at the cleaner (we think we heard him smack her too). After having sat in... More

Thank you everyone at El Paco. The rooms are very comfortable, the riad is beautiful, and the location is perfect. Very easy to find from the bus station. Just remember to follow the instructions from the email. The roads once you enter the medina itself isn't the best and if you have luggage, get a porter from the bus station.... More
