Riad Dar Awil

Nice place, good location, good price. However it is on a moped / scooter abused road so can be noisy and dangerous (young men are always in a hurry and transport nothing other than ego). Breakfast was nice, egg in tajine. I have to write more so I am.

We had a double en-suite room with balcony, very peaceful and quiet once inside, felt very private and safe. Linens were super clean and refreshed daily. Beautiful breakfasts made with love and care each morning. Our hosts were kind and enthusiastic and keen to make all guests welcome. We felt very privileged to stay in such an inviting and homely space. Highly recommended as location was great and there are lots of restaurants and hammams close by. We also caught the Supratours bus to Marrakesh which was a 5 minute walk from the Riad.

I enjoyed a wonderful stay at the Riad Dar Awil. From the moment I arrived I received the warmest of welcomes. The riad is located in the medina and only a few twists and turns in the alleyways away from the shops, cafes and restaurants. The riad provides a wonderful haven of peace. The decor is very Moroccan and so tasteful. I was given a lovely bedroom at the front of the property. I found it spacious, nicely decorated and immaculately clean. It also had a large en-suite bathroom. The staff at Riad Dar Awil were all delightful and couldn’t do enough to assist. I was really impressed that on arrival I was provided with a map of Essaouira and talked through the must see places, places with the best view of the sunset, where to get the best views of the camel caravan and where to find the best value restaurants. I found this incredibly useful and I referred to this map many times during my visit to Essaouira. The breakfast each morning was amazing. The variety offered was both impressive and plentiful. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Riad Dar Awil and wouldn’t hesitate in staying here again if the opportunity arose.
