    The breakfast was too light and when asked, additional food wasn’t given.

    Amazing location, traditional Moroccan building, the terrace.

    Nice place well located inside the medina, lovely breakfast and friendly staff. We enjoy our time there.

    The furniture requires refurbishment, additional electrical outlets are needed in the room, and the sink water drainage must be maintained.

    Stayed at this hotel and was thoroughly impressed. The staff were commendable in their service, always treating us with genuine kindness. The facility was spotlessly clean, and the overall ambiance was pleasant. A big thank you to the staff for their outstanding hospitality.

    Expect some noise due to location and layout. Minor compared to other places in the Medina. Our room was naturally cold, but next to no air circulation. We missed a fan of sorts. More hooks (for clothes) and a bathroom hand towel would be nice.

    Central but fairly quiet location. Entryway, reception, and overall energy peaceful and relaxing. Warm, friendly, helpful owners that go above and beyond. Tastefully decorated. Very clean. Beds comfy. Hot water in shower. Good Wifi. Laundry service available. Variety of sitting rooms on ground floor. Great view from the roof. Breakfast was delicious; Lokeman played his guitar and sang a few songs for us while we ate. It was lovely; he has a beautiful and unique voice. Yoga, cooking class, language class available. Anything else you need, ask. If they can’t provide, they’ll help you find someone who can. My adult son and I really enjoyed our stay. 💙🙏🏼 💙

    The breakfast could be better but cannot complain for that price. As a note you need to pay for any extra coffee or tea in the breakfast.

    Great stay for the price. I had a room on the terrace and was big enough and a comfortable bed. The staff was very nice as well. It was a last minute booking near the midnight and it was great that they had 24 h reception. Enjoyed my stay.

    It was my 2nd visit at Dar El Qdima . Altough the place didn't looked changed to me i understood the management did change.The staff was super friendly and helpful in solving some of my travel issues. Also they where very helpful with good advise on where to dine in Essaouira...I can highly recommend this place. The place is a very lush and an unbelievabley calm oasis nearby the busiest street in Essaouira...
