A mere review cannot fully describe how lovely our experience at this riad was. Hayat, Fatiha and Nezha truly put so much soul into caring for their guests and go above and beyond for any simple request. Stay here if you find yourself in Essaouira.

From the moment I arrived I was made to feel so welcomed. Hayet was wonderful, as was everyone at the Ryad. Breakfast on the roof terrace with fresh fruit, juice, pancakes and coffee was a pleasure each morning. I loved my stay there

Fabulous hotel with amazing staff

We loved our stay at this amazing hotel. With only 10 rooms and a small, friendly team of staff this place really feels like a home from home. The rooms are beautiful and the rooftop space a quiet haven. But best of all, the staff all genuinely care that their guests have the very best experience and nothing is too much trouble. The restaurants and bars recommended by the hotel were the very best we visited. We can’t wait to come back!

Thank you!

I stayed here for a solo trip to Essaouira and absolutely fell in love with the city. Fatiha and her team could not have been more friendly and welcoming which played a big part in the trip being so special. My room was spotless, breakfasts up on the roof were lovely and every member of staff would go over and above to ensure you enjoyed your stay. This was my first trip to Essaouira and Morocco and I would encourage anyone who is thinking of visiting to do it and to stay here, you won’t be disappointed! Thank you again to everyone at Ryad Watier!

Wonderful Road Watier

We loved Road Watier, one of the loveliest and unique places we have ever stayed. Hyat and Fatiya were absolutely lovely hosts and it was fun chatting to them about our and their own travels and experiences, both had a wonderful sense of adventure and humour. all of the staff always had a smile for us. The property is amazing, and our two level family room was stunning. The Road is in a quiet lane in the medina, a minute or so from the sea and the stunning ramparts. We loved the ramparts and views of the sea, the lively harbour area and the cities extensive beach with all the surfers and kite surfing. Biggest regret was only staying for two nights, we should have stayed much longer.

Beautiful riad in the heart of the medina

Amazing riad! We booked a two story suite for our girls trip and weren’t disappointed! Absolutely beautiful and quite spacious! Service was incredible. The hotel helped welcomed us and lugged our huge baggage all the way to the third floor with zero complaints. Always welcoming, informative and very kind. Would stay here in a heartbeat again. Easy walking distance to everything as it’s in the heart of the Medina.

This Ryad is located perfect in the Medina of Essaouira. Short walking distance to shopping and nice restaurants. I got the best service I ever had in a hotel. Personal attention from owners and staff. The breakfast was very good as well.
