Hotel Dar El Qdima

Okay place for such price but there is no air conditioner and because of that No heater also.Not convenient during the heat season and of course freezing during the cold times.

This is a very nice riad, in the perfect location in the Medina. Theresa and her husband do whatever they can to make you comfortable. They even made me gluten free crepes! It is very clean and the decor is so lovely! I highly recommend staying here.

The staff is wonderful and the breakfast is delicious. The rooms are acquaint and I think they were very clean. It was hard to find the plug in! But I think that's kind of a minor thing. I found that a lot of the hotels where we stayed in Morocco didn't have things in the normal places as far as Outlets go and lighting was usually a problem but it was all very Charming and it was not noisy even though it was in the medina. It's on an off Street and I could hear no noise from outside.

Me and my husband are locals and we have stayed here one night to be repeated surely when coming to essaouira city. They give discounts for big groups and long term stays – I recommend contacting them directly for the best price. This is an authentic Moroccan riad loaded with antiques painstaking collected by the local owners over the years and decorated as a labor of love and coziness. Tea is happily provided when welcoming. Breakfast can be included with the room hot and fresh. There is a calm energy and a coziness about the place. They seem to love the riad and their guests. It is in an easy and fabulous location in the Medina. A short walk to the beach, the square, souk and squala. Finding it is super easy using google maps. I highly recommend this riad, especially for English speakers looking for an authentic Moroccan experience! Thank you Teresa and Loqman.

I don’t like it coz you can not go out side before 8 h AM

The hotel is nice and clean and decorated to a nice way. I however had a terrible situation with the woman owner who was very aggressive and threatening in her behavior towards me. had agreed with them that I would pay the evening when I would return as I would get money from the cash machine. As I returned around 11 at night I went straight to my room as it was too late and there was no one around. I would stay in the hotel 3 days anyway. Ten minutes later she came knocking aggressively on my door demanding that I open the door, I said I was in my underwear and a t shirt, but she kept knocking demanding I go downstairs and pay 'right now'. I opened the door so she could see I was in my underwear and a t shirt, she threatened me by saying if I don't go downstairs to pay right now, I have to find another place to stay. (this is happening around 23.15 at night). I went downstairs to pay and she accused me of hiding in my room, I said I returned late and that there was one at rception so I thought I would pay in the morning as I would stay there 3 days anyway. She was aggressive and threatening in her behaviour and as a solo female traveler, this was a terrible and scary experience. The next day when I came out of my room, around 12 in the afternoon, (I could not sleep at night from the shock, so ended up sleeping early hours of the morning) her husband was waiting in a chair, 3 metres further away, waiting to talk to me. He wanted to explain his wife's behaviour and told me things like: 'we are a family here'....really.....terrible experience....this is not how families are! Thats a very wrong understanding!

Just amazing

So good
