    A beutiful ryad in the medina

    The side street to reach the ryad a little difficult to find without google maps and it's not the cleanest

    A beautiful ryad with well kept furniture and furnishing and a roof top restaurant for breakfast with the option of eating inside or outside depending on the weather. Excellent staff and the manger arranged a dinner reservation for us which we really enjoyed.

    Nothing it's fabulous

    I liked how clean the property was. I enjoyed that the property was in a quiet location and that meant I got a good nights sleep, it was near the bus station. The staff were lovely especially the manager Hyatt who went out of her way to ensure I had a great stay. She made a fire for me, arranged for my bags to be transported to the bus station at no extra cost and an electric blanket for the bed. She made the stay feel like I was at a home rather than a hotel. As a woman travelling alone I felt she went out of her way to help me and make my stay comfortable and easier! She is amazing and had great attitude to customer service. Thank you Hyatt for making my stay wonderful I can't wait to return!

    I Couldn’t recommend this lovely Riad enough. I was just by myself and the all the ladies made me feel so welcome as soon as I arrived and could not do enough to help me and make me feel at home. The breakfast was beautiful, which is served up on the terrace with a lovely view. The room was also beautiful with little lovely little touches such as shampoo, shower gel, fresh filtered water everyday, rose water spray and amenities. and there is a laundry service too which is super handy. I wish I could have stayed here longer. The best place I have stayed in for a long time! There is also a beautiful cat called Yoda who will come and join you for breakfast and lounge around in the sun waiting for cuddles 😸🧡 Thank you so much for a beautiful stay I will definitely return here when I come back.

    Riad Watier was a great find, right in the heart of the Medina but still quiet at night. A charming little Riad and so pretty! Fatiha and all the other staff were very friendly and couldn’t be more helpful, booking things for us and giving advice on where to go and what to do. They looked after us so well - even putting on the heaters and electric blankets for when we returned from a night out when it was a bit chilly! The roof terrace breakfasts are amazing! Be aware that it is on several levels. We had my elderly mother with us who found the stairs a bit of a challenge! Thank you!

Helpful in planning and booking activities and restaurants. Spotlessly clean. Beautiful renovation of stunning building

    I would like to bring my family here, because it was so perfect! Breakfast at the rooftop to the sound of crashing waves, my spacious, spotless room with a heated bed, wonderful hammam experience... and most importantly of all, people who made this riad a special place! They really like their guests, and that just feels wonderful. If you are in Essaouira, stay there because it will create magic memories, just like it did for me.

    Everything was perfect :D

    It’s a gorgeous property which was recently refurbished. We stayed for 1 week and had a lovely time. We first stayed in a large double room (37 sqm) which was stunningly decorated and very large! For the last few days we moved to the family room which was split across 2 floor and had 2 bedrooms, a living room with a fireplace. The whole Ryad smelled amazing at all times and also has a common hall with a fireplace which they kindly start for us whenever we want. The staff (special mention to Hayat and Fatiha) were so friendly and kind, it felt like we were at home. Tea/coffee were unlimited and free laundry was also perfect. The 3 cats on site were such a treat too. The breakfast on the open terrace was so peaceful. Big terrace to just chill with a book or tan. Plus it’s 3-4 mins walking to everything. We were so sad to leave! Will definitely return :)

    We loved our stay at Ryad Watier. The staff were lovely and the place was beautiful, clean and comfortable. The location was fantastic - right in the middle of everything, but so quiet and peaceful. A great base to explore Essaouira. We especially loved the spa - we had a hammam and it was fabulous.

    Absolutely everything!! The staff, all women which I loved, were all kind, helpful, full of tips and recommendations. The breakfast, tea, cookies, everything was superb. Our kids loved the cats of the house. My daughter wanted to stay there forever. We would 100% come back and 100% recommend. I was sad to leave such a warm, comforting, special place.
