"I had a wonderful one-week stay at Dar Amastan during the Gnaoua Festival and would happily stay here again. This riad had only been open about a month when I visited, but the hospitality was exceptional. The location is excellent—an easy walk to the medina, beach, restaurants, and festival venues while still being peaceful.

Le Médina Essaouira Thalassa Sea & Spa - MGallery Collection

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed early August and loved this hotel. The renovations are beautiful and this hotel will be amazing once it is all completed. There was some noise around the pool deck but it was manageable. I really loved all the palm plants and the pool area is lovely. This hotel is in a great location and you can easily walk around and see the sites. Highly recommend! We really enjoyed our time and the staff are helpful."
