Lovely hotel staff very friendly and and try their best to make you comfortable and enjoy the stay with them. The receptionists both guys were very welcoming and helpful. The hotel is a short walk to everything very convenient. The top roof was very nice plenty of sun beds and view is wonderful. The breakfast was very nice traditional breakfast with a choice of freshly made omelettes . I would stay here again and recommend it to anyone of my friends and family. Thank you for make my stay very enjoyable. 5*****

Overall the property was lovely, if not a bit dated and needing some modernisation/upgrades. The pillows in the rooms were extremely lumpy and uncomfortable and should be replaced. The tv didn't work - and the wifi wasn't great. But it was fine. The team were amazing. They were so caring and genuine. They really made the stay special.

We had a great time at the hotel. It’s in a fantastic location just inside the Médina walls, across from a great cafe called l’Atelier and a short walk to the main beach. The staff were very welcoming and kind. The rooms were clean and comfortable. There was some mold in the shower in our room but otherwise more just general wear and teaR.

NEVER use hotels.com
The Hotel was nice and the location was great. People were nice but unfortunately booking with Hotels.com was a huge mistake. They overcharged us 2,000 dollars (more than double the amount we paid for our overall stay) with the excuse that the hotel charged that amount for an extra kid. The hotel showed us the details and it was not true. We called hotels.com since the day we checked in and for the next 9 consecutive days asking for an explanation and never got an answer until after the 9th call a manager told us there was nothing he could do and there was no explanation for the overcharged but we were not getting our money back.

Stay at Villa de L'O
The place was in a great location. Interesting atmosphere but was disappointed when we got there and were told that the second night there was no room for us. Our room was guaranteed and paid for so this was upsetting and I felt it could have been handled differently. the outcome was that we were able to stay another night. The breakfast was great. And the view from the terrace fantastic.

Really unique Riad inside the Medina. Loved the rooms and staff were fantastic. We drove here from Marrakech and there is close public parking and a very short walk to the Riad. Amazing breakfast on the rooftop overlooking the beach. Must stay if you are in Essaouira.

We loved our room on the second floor. It was spacious and clean. The rooftop patio was very enjoyable for breakfast and the view was spectacular- probably close to the best if not the best view of the beach and ocean. Essaouira is a gem - we stayed 2 days and would have loved to have stayed longer. Highly recommend Villa de I’O!
