    I Struck Gold Choosing This Riad!

    rating05 May 2026

    I am so glad I chose Riad Watier as my final destination for some RnR after a hectic tour around the country.I was in the solo room which was beautifully decorated, scrumptiously clean, with added extras such as hair dryer and free Wifi. I felt completely safe and pampered. It was compact but plenty of room for one person. The staff especially Fatiha and the owners, were a wealth of knowledge and made the stay even more enjoyable. Breakfast was plentiful and f=varied each day. The rooftop area very private for some reading & relaxation. I also treated myself to a massage which was wonderful. I will be recommending this amazing riad to friends & family

    The perfect medina stay

    rating25 Mar 2026

    Such a lovely riad in the heart of the medina set on a quiet street. Big beautiful rooms, spotlessly clean too. The most friendly and helpful staff and a great breakfast each morning. All round a great place to stay!

    Beautiful Riad centrally located

    rating13 Mar 2026

    A beautiful Riad in the medina of Essaouira. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. The delicious breakfast gets served on the rooftop. I can recommend this also to solo women travelers, as it’s very safe and centrally located.

    TOP CLASS ACCOMMODATION

    rating10 Mar 2026

    Fabulous location in the heart of Essaouira with easy access to a multitude of restaurants, cafes and shops and within an easy walk to the beach, port and ramparts. Ryan Watier is stylish with lots of interesting art and artefacts, lovely communal spaces and is spotlessly clean. Our room was large, very comfortable and had a charming terrace. The all female staff were so helpful especially Fatiha and Hyatt who were an invaluable source of help and advice. Breakfast was beautifully fresh and included fruit, freshly squeezed orange juice, eggs anyway, pancakes and fresh bread served in a rooftop room. Adjacent to that was a lovely terrace available for sun bathing weather permitting. Used the spa for a hammam which was a brilliant experience

    Atmospheric, bohemian and friendly

    rating26 Feb 2026

    Down a tiny alleyway on rue Ceuta (according to the map) or rue Sebta, (according to the signs) you will find Riad Watier. Named after the French engineer credited with stopping the dunes encroaching on Essaouira (something he achieved in part by planting eucalyptus trees, which you can still see on the approach to the city), Riad Watier has an airy, bohemian atmosphere, entirely in keeping with the vibe of Essaouira’s historic medina. Blue and white dominate the colour scheme, like in the rest of Essaouira. The walls are adorned with art that adds to the atmosphere. Our room on the first floor was spacious and nicely furnished with a sofa and coffee table as well as a bed, and lots of books (in French and English - and there are many more downstairs in the riad’s cosy library). The well-pressed cotton sheets were incredibly comfortable.The location is ideal if you want to explore the medina, the fishing port and the beach. Note that you can’t drive right up to the hotel — something to consider if you have mobility issues, though there are porters who will help you with your baggage. It’s also worth considering that it’s an old building with steep stairs and no lift (though here as well the staff will help you with your luggage).The all-female staff were welcoming and gave some excellent lunch and dinner recommendations (among them Love by Caravane, with excellent food and cabaret - worth a try), and were very helpful in booking tables.Breakfast is served in a lovely room next to the roof terrace. All the typical Moroccan breakfast foods - yoghurt, fruit, honey, various flatbreads and pancakes - were included. All in all, a lovely, characterful base for exploring Essaouira.
