FAQs about hotels in Essaouira
Morocco With a European Twist
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 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.PeterUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10

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.JackieUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10
What a wonderful city!
What a wonderful city! Beaming with actual local craft and art, lots of cute street cats and beautiful colourful houses with intricately decorated doors, windows and fountains. We fell in love with this small city and would love to go back. Pro Tip if you like cats: buy some vet cat food and walk around the city with it because those creatures will break your heart with their cuteness. I would recommend spending at least two days there. Get lost in the small streets to the sides from the main shopping areas. Visit the fish market, eat fresh oysters or other sea products. The beach was nice and serves as a great refreshment after long walks in Medina. Shopping was great and cheap but I would still recommend learning the actual prices first. For example, we got small tiles for 10dhs but in other places we’re getting prices like 50 or 30. Don’t be afraid to walk away and negotiate a bit. Especially if it is not the master themselves selling but a reseller. You can usually find actual masters on the smaller side streets (especially for wood and fabrics). I also noticed that women have fair prices more often. Food. Amazing street food and fruits! Don’t go to overpriced restaurants on tourist streets, unless they have a “menu” offer which can be worth the price. Otherwise, if you just take a detour from the main hustle, there will be tangine not for 80dhs but for 30. The food is also way cheaper outside of Medina.VarvaraSweden

- From € 130 per night9.6Scored 9.6ExceptionalRated exceptional· 564 reviewsPerfect location. Lovely quiet street, but easy walking distance to all amenities. The hotel and room were beautiful (much better than the pictures). The breakfast was delicious and all prepared fresh. The staff were on hand for anything you needed and the room was cleaned excellently every morning. The best hotel we've probably ever stayed in. We'd come back to Essaouira just for this hotel and it's incredible rooms, service, food and ambience. Stunning.LaurenUnited Kingdom
- From € 55 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 791 reviewsVery friendly small hotel just inside the city walls. Great for exploring the back streets and close to restaurants and the beach. Also easy walk to Supratours bus station. Rooms are small but comfortable. Shower was good - even on the top floor - and I had a view out over the street. Nice breakfast on the terrace or outside the room. Colourful decoration and quirky characterful place. Friendly staff on 24/7. Fine for a couple of nights.RupertUnited Kingdom
- From € 61.20 per night8.7Scored 8.7FabulousRated fabulous· 1,088 reviewsExquisitely beautiful hotel in a quiet neighborhood, ideal for those (like us) who like being a two minute walk from the far less crowded part of the beach. We simply loved our 20 minute walks north along the shore on the "boardwalk" to the ancient city center (Medina & Kasbah.) Breakfasts are great and Xavier even offered (without us asking) and made us breakfasts-to-go for our 5 a.m. departure on Day 3. Loved our pool time here.LinthicumUnited States

The Hotel is a bit dated but you get 5 star service, the staff couldn't do enough for you. Exceptionally well located, sea view was stunning. The hotel beach area is perfect, well staffed comfortable bed/loungers and good food. For what you pay I think overall great hotel.
