A truly amazing experience. Houda and the staff made me feel like family from the minute I walked in the door. She could not have been more helpful and truly cared about my experience at their property. The hotel is a bit of history in which you become immersed. Such a peaceful experience and so relaxing. If I could rate it higher, I truly would. Thank you Hotel Dar El Qdima.

This was the best hotel we booked in Morocco! We were welcome with an extraordinary suite since it was my husband’s birthday. The aesthetic of the hotel is simply a vibe. The rooftop restaurant had an impeccable service and we indulged in the best food we tried in Essaouira! The bed and shower were just the best!! We will be back! Everyone was so nice and professional. Merci encore!

The hotel was absolutely beautiful. The staff was incredible, and my friends and I found ourselves chatting with our hosts and enjoying tea on multiple occasions. The photos are beautiful but they do not do it justice! It's an incredible property. I highly recommend.

Breakfast was fine. Similar to other hotel breakfasts. Sort of a Moroccan-continental breakfast with pastries, fruit, omelet station, Moroccan-pancake section, yogurts, breads and jams. It was nice to go down every day for breakfast.

Essaouira has developed from a hippie hangout to become a top Morocco beach resort with good surfing conditions. Its 18th-century medina is almost European in feel and narrow streets lead under low arches past fragrant spice stalls and local artisans selling everything from wood carvings to faience pottery.
Dotted around the souk are many traditional-style riads on Booking.com, hidden behind tiled façades and blue doors. Other Essaouira accommodation options include luxury hotels with swimming pools, cheap apartments, and B&Bs near Essaouira Airport.
Also bright blue are the rowing boats bobbing gently in small harbours sheltered by the Scala of the Port, a wide walkway with ramparts through which several historic cannons poke out. At the end is the Citadel, a small fortress overlooking Mogador Island - the largest of the Iles Purpuraires, so-called for the purple shells found in their rocks that were once used to produce dyes for Roman senator togas.
Another fortress – Bordj El Berod – lies in pieces on the long, sandy beach south of the marina. In the opposite direction the coastline is more rocky and lined by the Scala of the Kasbah, the crenellated walls protecting the medina. Horseriding and camel safaris are available on the beach and you can also visit a Berber village inland.

great city, nice medina it is more comfortable than the one...
great city, nice medina it is more comfortable than the one in Marrakesh since there is no car and moto traffic, the beach is vast , clean. Fish market is amazing, must see. You can buy any fish there , get it cleaned and grilled. The are street markets in the center and very decent Carrefour supermarket with paper bags only. It is easy to park anywhere outside medina . The city is walkable , illuminated at night, it feels save to me to walk around. Just for roads crossing one should be careful - the drivers dont stop until pedestrian starts crossing. The city is clean enough compared to other cities we have seen ( like El Jadida or smaller cities in between).I like that plastic bottles are not seen in the streets - they are returned for some fees and thus collected.

Not as ‘hip’ as I’d expected but still worth visiting for the old town and souks. Nice walk along the beach and some good restaurants. Great horse ride along the beach but take care to book a reputable stable.

Essaouira is a relatively small, compact, ancient, traditional Moroccan city. Narrow alleyways and traditional architecture. Cafes, stalls etc. An interesting fishing boat filled harbour with animated action, fish gutting, cooking, selling etc. City walls and fortresses to explore. Friendly non hassling people. Much more relaxing than Marrakech, whilst still having exotic ambiance. Inumerable restaurants serving good food at reasonable prices. You can walk from one side of the city to the other in 15 minutes (if you don't lose yourself in the maze!) This was a former 'hippy' hangout and it is easy to understand why.

Lovely old medina and fishing port just a short walk along the promenade. If you explore the alleyways away from the shops you will come across workshops where the local products are being handcrafted.
The personal was very helpful and did everything for us. The hotel and room beautiful, great location and the terrace great with magnificent view over the beach. Leila was especially helpful. When we arrived two people in our group were sick and we were a bit chaotic but she helped us arrange for a doctor and the medication. The day of checking out the grandmother in our group was also sick and she could stay longer in her room with no additional cost until she was prepared to travel. We are thankful and can really recommend this hotel.
The staff were extremely friendly and helpful especially Khadija and Safaa. The breakfast was copious. Free car parking opposite the hotel - was quite full in December so may be overfull in high season. Hot water for the shower, which was welcome after some other places I've stayed. Water pressure on the third floor not the best but ok. WiFi on the third floor a bit patchy. Quiet location away from the centre but easy walking distance to the beach and Medina. I had some washing, which was done the same day at no charge.
It’s very beautiful and relaxing. Seems like there are many rooms but it wasn’t crowded or loud. There is parking right in front, the hotel is easy to find and it’s close to the beach. The breakfast was very tasty, although I wish they would start serving it earlier than 8:30. There is a beautiful rooftop terrace and swimming pool on the ground floor. We didn’t have time to check out their spa services unfortunately, maybe next time. The staff was very pleasant and helpful.
This was the best hotel we booked in Morocco! We were welcome with an extraordinary suite since it was my husband’s birthday. The aesthetic of the hotel is simply a vibe.

Very causy place, which will not be the impersonal hotel stay but will not bother you at any rate more than you want yourself. Friendly for family with kids. Valuable advice and arrangements on what to do for travelling around Essaouira. Chance to switch of your western agenda, though wifi works very deacently. Authentic Morrocan design in every detail.
The hotel is very stylish and clean. The breakfast was good and full: yoghurt, local pancakes, fruits, jams and spreads, pastries, and coffee. The hotel is situated close to the beach and to the central streets with restaurants. The room was nicely decorated. When we arrived we found a vase with roses and lit candles. The staff was helpful and friendly.
The apartment had a lovely view of the ocean over the historic fort walls and was quiet at night with the sound of the waves crashing. The location was central to the main square and close walking distance to the best shops in the medina.
The breakfast was in another building but on the rooftop with unlimited ocean, beach and fortress views.
The breakfast is probably the best breakfast I have ever had in a hotel, really tasty and made with love.
The room is quite small, but has everything you need. The riad has a nice atmosphere: the decorations are lovely. The staff is very friendly. Location is right in the medina which is perfect.
This hotel is not 5 star by European standards but it's still very nice. The staff are lovely and the private area on the beach and the pool are lovely. It's in a brilliant location within a very easy, flat walk to the Medina. Our room was big with lots of space and storage, a safe and minibar
The hotel was really clean (also, our room was cleaned every day), the staff very friendly and the breakfast was good as well. Furthermore, we also liked the location (close to the beach and parking lot) and the sea view from our room. We would 100% recommend this place!
Amazing location just across the main street from the beach and even had a balcony. Tons of space. Good restaurants nearby. Walking distance to medina. Most comfortable bed on the entire Morocco trip we had. Great value for the money. Stay here over any of the hotels.
This very comfortable hotel is an excellently run establishment with a prime location for the medina and the beach.
The staff is always very friendly, attentive, courteous and helpful.
The furnishings and decorative elements of the house are worth mentioning!
The hotel is very nice, rooms are spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed the pool on a day that was very windy at the beach. Xavier, his wife and the rest of the personnel are extremely kind and welcoming.
Breakfast was great too!
the property is so beautiful and we loved the location - you just walk right across the beach for about 20 minutes to get to the Old Town. right by the hotel (on the beach) are the camel and horse rides.
Location is nice.. not far from the Medina and the beach;
Personnel are professional and friendly, they gave me the opportunity to parking motorbike inside the hotel
Breakfast is good
A beautiful mix of hotel and Riad, with luxury and European elegance hidden within a Moroccan Riad.
Wonderful breakfast and the team working in the hotel are a credit to you!
Very client oriented hotel. Every request was taken care of: surfing instructor contacts, beach towels, gluten free breakfast.
Cute place to stay in the middle of medina.
