Lovely riad in the Essaouira medina
This hotel is very charming and cute, has a great location, and the staff, Hafid and Hakima, were extremely helpful and welcoming from when I arrived to when I left. I had one of the smaller rooms, the Corail, but it was still quite comfortable, clean, had a good shower and a nice view. For a small extra price you can have breakfast in the courtyard. Overall everything was excellent and I highly recommend it.

Beautiful, calming B&B with delicious breakfast and amazing courtyard. Bedrooms were clean and comfortable and relatively spacious. Location was ideal, inside the medina but easy to find and close to shops and restaurants. The managers, Hekima and Hafid, were Not only very knowledgeable but an absolute joy.

Central to the medina
The owners were very helpful and it is very central to the medina. The breakfasts were lovely. However the room was cramped and the bathroom was actually in the room, so you could hear everything. A nice place but I would be very careful about which room you book

An oasis - but you have to get to it!
Friendly hosts and full of character. But it is a basic B&B in part of a very old market area and as soon as you walk out the confines it hits you! People buying and selling and invariably crowds of people often in narrow dimly lit streets. An experience yes. But you probably would not want to stay too long even with the oasis of your lodgings to escape to!

Our stay at Dar Dayana was the best in Morocco. The welcome the warmest, the breakfast the tastiest and most varied and the riad the prettiest. I recommend this riad to everyone!

lovely place to stay
The staff are very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The turquoise room was spacious with a small but well equipped bathroom. The courtyard had a cooling water feature and plenty of shade and the communal living room was beautifully designed. Breakfast was excellent too with fresh fruit, yogurt and homemade pancakes. The whole experience was great value for money. I would definitely recommend Dar Dayana.

Stylish, tranquil & inspiring
Beautiful, stylish and artistic guest house. Staff were helpful but not intrusive. Property is tranquil but there is a lot of noise late in the evening from shouting in the surrounding streets. Nothing some good earplugs couldn't deal with! Very central location. Onyx room was lovely and more spacious than the others.

Fabulous 3 night stay
I stayed here for 3 nights with my boyfriend and had a fantastic time. The owners were exceptionally welcoming when we arrived and gave us complimentary tea and biscuits along with very good advice as to where to go and what to do. The building is beautiful with a lovely garden area and roof terrace. We saw all of the rooms which are all done up differently, they are all clean and very nicely decorated. Breakfast is provided and was very good, all homemade and plenty of it!! In addition they provide alcohol at a good price, which was a good thing as it can be difficult finding places that sell it.The location was spot on right in the centre of the medina and within 5-10 minute walk to the beach. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and would have loved to have stayed for longer, would highly recommend!!

Trop cher pour ce qui est offert par d'autres hébergements comparables. Petit déjeuner est plutôt ordinaire. La literie et serviettes auraient besoin d'être renouvelées pour maintenir à niveau la qualité initiale. Etant donné la rudesse du climat maritime d'Essaouira pour les bâtiments, Dar Daryana mériterait plus d'attention. Mais je me dois de souligner la gentillesse du couple chargé d'assurer l'accueil, le service aux clients et l'entretien.
