We chose this guesthouse because of it's location right up against the medina walls. And the views both from the terrace and from our sea-side suite were genuinely fantastic. Unfortunately however, Dar Al Bahar is located in an extremely dodgy part of town. The guidebooks do generaly warn that Essaouira does have some drug problems and that the north-east end... more

We stayed at this riad at the end of July for 3 nights. The Riad is located on the outer wall of the old town, and the rooms at the back have views of the ocean. I would say that the views are the only thing that make this riad particularly special. The View was GORGEOUS and it was lovely... more

My friend and I stayed in Dar Al Bahar just for 2 nights (11/09/09-13/09/09) - and we liked this ryad a lot. Of coarse we couldn’t find a better place. The hotel is well located in the medina, on the street that goes along the fortress wall. It was very easy to find it – you just go straight along... more

We stayed for 9 nights as we were looking to chill out, relax and really soak up the atmosphere and thats exactly what we did. The riad was spotless, the staff were really helpful and friendly, but not too in your face - just perfect. As with the other reviews breakfast on the terrace is beautiful and we retreated to... more

I stayed in the apartment and then returned and stayed in several rooms(I couldn't leave the town!) The staff are fantastic and this is definitely one of the most comfortable places to stay in Essaouira. It soon became my home from home and breakfast on the roof terrace is fantastic. Heres a viwe from the terrace...straight up more

This is a great place, tucked away between the tourist buzz and the Mellah. Spotless rooms, hot water (this IS Morocco, right), good service and great seaviews from the terrace. Average price € 60/night/room, cheaper rooms can be found of course, but value for money. more

My boyfriend and I spent three beautiful days at this charming riad. We love it! It´s very good located only few metres from the main street of the Medina. We stayed at room Laila the first night. It´s decoarated beautifully. Really good taste. The paintings in the room are amazingly gorgeous. Very clean indeed. The other two nights we stayed... more

The inn is good. I like when the promised is equal to seen. Good and full internet information. No any surprises. I had normal room with ocean view and hot water. Yes, the breakfast was too modest but it is not the problem when you're amazed after the magic ocean view. I wanna return to the inn. And beleive me,... more

My wife and I just came back from a 10-day visit to Morocco, in which we visited Fes, Meknes, Marrakech, Merzouga, Dades and Todra Gorge, and Essaouiria, and out of 7 different hotels/riads we stayed in, this was the only negative experience, and by far the worst service I've ever received in a hotel. The woman in the reception has... more

These guests stayed half an hour in the triple room they had booked and then complained to the receptionist (who speacks really well english, otherwise this incident would'nt have been possible...). They asked for another cheaper room (which we were not able to offer on that day) or another rate (which is a common trick we sometimes have to face:...

We rented the appartment, wich inckudes a little kitchen and a nice parlor with ocean view. The hotel is right on the ocean within the walled city (you cannot go to the rocky shore). The staff is extremely friendly and helpfull. The view from the terrace is outstanding. Celings are low (not so in other rooms) not for someone over... more
