The location was good--off the beaten path but a few minute's walk to the heart of things. The staff were generous and amenable and helpful. Breakfast was excellent. Rooms were quite nice. Roof top was great, though the common area downstairs was so-so...

Beautiful spot, roof top terrace was wonderful, staff was helpful. The breakfast was perfect and the oceanfront room was great value!

It was very clean. The hosts were very friendly and nice! They have sorted the internet issues.

The highlight of this hotel for my was my partial ocean view window. I love hearing the waves crashing as I sleep. Amazing! The terrace also has stellar views and is an amazing spot for breakfast.

Beautiful place, lovely view of the sea, great location and service

everything was perfect propre rooms good breakfast staff very friendly and helpful

Really wonderful location deep in the heart of the medina but on a quiet street. View from the roof terrace has to be amongst the best in Essaouria. Lovely staff, great recommendations for a local Hammam (Hammam Nour outside the city walls) and good restaurants (Triskala, just down the street).

charming and real. lovely caring people/staff all around

Very clean. Friendly and helpfull stuff. Breakfast and view at the veranda are amazing.

Amaaaazing and breath taking view room the room (Malika) - the waves and breeze made us feel in heaven and even with no need to go outside ;) instead of being at the last minute for the great breakfast, the super kind owner welcomed us warmly :) a home atmosphere in a beautiful location and style :) I will come back as soon as possibile <3 shukran!!!!!

- Hi, could you tell me where is the closest parking?Thank you for your query. Dar Al Bahar is located in the medina, which is solely pedestrian area. You can leave your car at one of the guarded parkings of Bab Marrakech or Bab El Menzeh, near the harbour , both within walking distance from us.Answered on 20 August 2022
