Quiet hotel overlooking the ocean in the mediina.
Rooftop deck overlooking the ocean and rooftops. Delicious breakfast, spotless rooms with efficient, helpful and happy staff. A softer bed would have made the stay perfect.

Room offered was substandard we had to pay another CS 20 to get an acceptable room. The owner very unfriendly. No creditcard option she charged us 10% surcharge over bank rate for the payment. Very dissatisfied.

Lovely relaxing riad
I had been staying at a different riad in Essauoira but decided to switch to Dar al Bahar and I am so glad I did. It is a lovely riad located on a cliff above the ocean. Some rooms have ocean views, mine did not but I would leave my windows open so that I could smell and hear the ocean. It has a spectacular roof off terrace where a lovey breakfast is served. The staff is very nice and helpful. It is located on the northern side of the medina which I preferred. There are a number of good restaurants nearby and it is an easy walk to shops. When I come back to Essaouira I will definitely stay here,

This hotel is in a relatively quiet part of the Médina, next to the sea (although it’s not on the beach). It is basically a tower, and the rooms get less expensive the higher up you are (because the climb is steep). The room itself was clean and well decorated. The staff was a problem, though. The man on night shift was not at all helpful, and in fact, refused us a slightly earlier breakfast (we requested breakfast 15 minutes before regular time), which we needed because of a 9:00 bus. So we paid in full but received no breakfast. And not even an apology. There are plenty of other options in Essaouira so no need for this one.

Wonderful!
Greeted with coffee and amazing almond pastries. The sea view room on the city wall was amazing. Don't miss sunset from the fourth floor terrace.

Dar bahar Déçu.
Ne prenez surtout pas la chambre au rez-de-chaussée. C'est une honte de mettre cette chambre en location. C'est juste un local à balais. Cerise sur le gâteau, le bureau de la réception se trouve juste devant cette chambre. Influencé par les photos, je l'ai réservée pour une nuit, la veille je suis passé pour voir à quoi elle ressemble. Très déçu, je demande à la réception de me donner une autre chambre. Pas possible. J'ai abandonné le prix de la location et j'ai été trouvé ailleurs.

Nice view
Spent one night at the hotel and were very satisfied. The hotel is well located in the city center at the ocean. From the roof it offers an absolutelly outstanding view. The rooms are nice and clean. To get to the beach, it takes roughly about 10 minutes by foot walking through the beautiful, narrow streets of Essouira.
