We have stayed in Essaouira 3 times now, and Riad Daranur is easily our favourite place to stay. The hosts made us feel so comfortable. It felt like home very quickly for us. The bed is delightfully comfortable and it is in the perfect location for exploring. The terrace also has the best view from a Riad we've ever seen!!

The apartment is very central. You step out and you are right in the Medina very close to the fish market and such. The rooftop view is too pretty and we took some amazing sun set shots. The bed is really comfy and felt very clean not like the rest of the space. The caretaker Milouda is very sweet and kind. Even though she didn’t know much English, her kind gestures and smile really made a difference to the stay! The owner is also very responsive over texts and helpful.

This is a small and simple Dar that feels like part of the town. It isn’t a modern or fancy hotel but has a home feel. It has a beautiful terrace with a fully equipped kitchen and fridge. The hosts spoke no English, but we speak no french or arabic so no complaints and not something we require or expect of the host. They were so kind and made us coffee/tea upon our arrival. They cleaned the room daily as well. The location was perfect and check in was easy. For the price, this place is unbeatable. Comfy beds, good facilities and always felt safe.

location is very good near the market and its music is fantastic, you can see the sunrise and sunset on the top floor. because we take the bus at 17:00 after checkout, the host let us put the luggage at the lobby.

A lovely apartment with a beautiful rooftop, where you can relax and see the ocean after a full day in the city center.

Wonderful hosts with their place in the middle of the more local Mellah neighborhood - they were very warm and welcoming - I felt like I were staying with friends. this is was especially welcome after a especially after a traumatic experience with a hotel in Marrakech.

I have been traveling for the past year and been to many places. There is no such place like Daranur that made me feel like home. I was really sad to leave at the end. I love the apartment and the people. Everyone in Daranur are extremely nice and helpful who treat every guest like family. One month in Daranur is definitely an unforgettable memory in my life that I will cherish. And I will definitely go back one day!
