Interesting riad with lots of character in wonderful location on the ramparts. As a consequence there are terraces overlooking the beach and sea. The style is Moroccan chic

Dar cherazade is a beautiful property, with an incredibly personable and helpful staff, wonderful accommodations, stunning beachfront location, and convenient rly located within the Medina. The staff went above and beyond. And the decor and interior design is a piece of art in and of itself. I highly recommend dar cherazade !

This property is in an excellent location in the medina of Essaouira. Walkable to all the main interest areas, including the ramparts, the beach, and the shopping and restaurant areas. Safe and quiet. While parts of the property unfortunately suffer from some of the inevitable mildew that can take hold in Essaouira, there are many different terraces and inner sitting rooms that one can lounge in quietly. The air from the ocean when the winds are milder is wonderful. Some rooms have sea views, as did ours, very beautiful. The decor is a bit funky and interesting with artistic touches all around and pieces I would have liked to know more about. The staff are sweet, very discreet, it is much like having a private place to live in, as we did for four days. Breakfast is very good, home cooked by the housekeeper who is a very nice lady.

Un séjour paisible avec vue sur l’océan

Excellent séjour à Dar Cherazade & Spa. Riad charmant au cœur de la médina, décoré avec goût. Personnel attentionné. Chambre confortable, terrasse avec vue magnifique sur la mer, et délicieux petit-déjeuner. Parfait pour se détendre à Essaouira. Je recommande vivement !

L’établissement est très bien décoré et l’ambiance y est conviviale et chaleureuse. La terrasse a une vue extraordinaire sur la mer. La chambre et la salke de bain étaient spacieuses mais cela sentait l’humidité très fort. C’était très mal éclairé. Pas de sèche cheveux dans la sade bain. Le lavabo était très abîmé. Le petit déjeuner était copieux mais pas très bon (ex: chocolatine réchauffée au micro onde). Le pire était le matelas… Il était très dur et les drap sentaient l’humidité. Bref, on avait prit une chambre de luxe… On était très loin du luxe… Mais le personnel était adorable!😉

Dar Cherazade is very walkable to all tourist attractions. It’s only ten mins from the beach, 2 mins from rampants & about to to La Skala & the fishing port. You are right in the Medina. The property was very clean & quiet with beautiful views of the ocean. It is windy in essaouira but the beach side is a lot less & you can rent beach beds for 2.50€ pp for a full day on the first spot on the beach. Thanks to the staff & Imad for help with our bags & lovely breakfast & room cleaning.

Geen aanrader

Het is een groot huis met een paar kamers die verhuurd worden, vermoedelijk door een onvriendelijke kunstenaar. De kamer was heel ruim, maar zeer vochtig. Kussens op bed bijna nat. Matras zo hard als een plank. Dame van ontbijt en schoonmaak heel vriendelijk. Inchecken was moeizaam, omdat voordeur dicht zat. Meerdere keren hard aankloppen had geen effect. Uiteindelijk met anderen mee naar binnen gelopen.

Didn’t honor my reservation. I was stuck looking for a place at 6 pm on a Saturday night on my honeymoon. Staff was just worthless and laughing at the situation. The manager was unhelpful and complained to ME that he was losing money by double booking his hotel. ?? Horrible. Also the place is grimy and not very pretty when you see it in person. Stay literally anywhere else. It’s a dump.
