Great location, super friendly and helpful staff, lovey clean room and space, nice bathroom with hot shower with plenty of water pressure. We loved it!

The only downside was that it was quite noisy at night so I didn't sleep very well the first night due to noise on the streets. It is also next to a mosque so you get woken up early in the morning by the call to prayer, however, other than that the location was great and everything was easily accessible from there.

Great experience overall. The room was great and comfortable, nice details. The staff were very helpful and welcoming. Easy to get to everything you want to see in Essaouira.

Such a lovely hotel in middle of medina. Very nice room and beautiful rooftop. The house cat was also very cute. Host was very kind and could explain us a lot about Essaouira. Breakfast was perfect!

Lovely riad tucked away in the medina. My second time to Essaouira, a place which I love, and I’m so glad I chose to stay here. The staff are just lovely, warm and so very helpful. Dar Dayana is newly decorated and super clean. As other travellers have mentioned, it is next to the mosque, so you will definitely hear the call to prayer, I brought ear plugs for the early morning prayer and to be honest I think it adds to the whole ambience and it didn’t bother me at all. Stayed as a solo female and felt really safe here. Delicious breakfast too! Merci Delphine et votre adorable équipe A🌟

We had a really great room on the top floor with a fireplace (which we didn't use) and a small terrace. Very central and yet quiet location. The medina of Essaouira is very manageable, everything is within a 10 - 15 min. walk. We parked our motorcycles in the guarded parking Rédouane (a 8 min. walk). Friendly staff, she gave us a tourist map and explained where to go. Good breakfast.

Nothing really. It's located in the old medina and this is a typical house from that era.

I fast, so no breakfast for me. My family enjoyed it. The staff were super friendly and helpful, based on a recommendation, we ended up going to a super nice beach away from the city and ate very fresh and tasty fish.

A big thank you to Hakima and Hafit! The two were extremely sympathetic and warm, but always very professional. A beautiful, very well-kept riad, yet small and personal. Breakfast very tasty and extensive. Thank you for everything and best regards Klaus

Little difficult to find but we didn’t have a working phone

Everything you could want. Comfortable room. Lovely breakfast in the morning. Tea as we filled out paperwork and help and advice from owners. Couldn’t be more helpful.

Nothing- everything was perfect! Just be aware that the mosque is very close so you may be woken up by the early morning prayer. (For us wasn’t a problem at all - actually it adds authenticity to the experience)

Everything was perfect! One of the best locations where we stayed around the world. The owners were amazing, such nice people, so knowledgeable and helpful. Thank you for all, Hakima and husband.

Nothing, of course the usual old riad in Morocco stuff like small, hard to shut doors, but nothing that’s a real problem.

Great location in the Medina, not even too hard to find and easily walkable to everything. The owners were friendly and helpful.

It was a wonderfull pleace.

The bathroom could be restored. The cabinet in our bathroom didnt have close at all and I must say it wasnt comfortable in the bahtroom overall.

Firdt of all, great location. The property was modern but somewhat authentic. However what really made our stay great was the hospitality of Hakima. Hakima is such a lovely woman who makes you feel like at home.

Close to the mosque as others mentioned. The morning prayer didn't bother me and I am a light sleeper. However, it was very loud each night. People were singing, clapping, and shouting until around midnight. Not sure if that was because Ramadan was approaching.

The couple who manages the property were amazing. Very kind and helpful. Met me at the bus station to show me how to get to Dar Dayana and did my laundry on short notice. Close to everything and is a beautifully decorated space. Also, the internet worked well had work meetings when I first arrived and had no issues.

Stayed in March 2024

If you are a bad sleeper you want to wear earplugs as there is a mosque right next to Dar Dayana.

We loved everything about this lovely place! The garden area is very cozy, and our room was clean and nice, yet a bit small. Breakfast was delicious and the staff very friendly.

Very small breakfast table, barely enough room for 2 places settings

Very friendly couple who manage the property. Excellent breakfast, good location. Very clean. We had the largest room which was very comfortable. Could have done with a couple of comfy chairs on the balcony

Very nice and lovingly furnished riad run by a very caring couple. Very clean and delicious breakfast. I would come back again and again.

The hotel is in a calm place of the medina (except there is a minaret behind the wall, so you will wake up at 7 a.m. every morning without alarm. But this isn't necessarily a minus) Has a wonderful garden to rest. The people in charge of the hotel were very nice and helpful. When we couldn't find a hotel, they went outside to meet us. Breakfast was delicious and abundant. We also had the opportunity to meet the owner who was also very nice. The bedding was very comfortable. The entire interior was thought out to the smallest detail. Beautiful, clean, tidy and high quality.

Good location in a little side street which was so interesting to walk down. Breakfast was delicious, especially the home made yoghourt which was so lovely. The riad was extremely clean and the rooms cleaned every day to a high standard. Really good shower - impressive on 3rd floor! Most of all, Hakima and her husband - so welcoming and friendly, thank you both for a really lovely stay.
