+ Ce Riad authentique, bien restauré est magnifique et très propre. Emplacement idéal et calme au cœur de la médina. Accueil exceptionnel de Fatiha et de Gabriel : hospitalité, gentillesse, conseils avisés. Petits déjeuners excellents, copieux sur la terrasse, un régal. Séjour exceptionnel.

Fabulous stay in a beautiful riad with wonderful staff

+ I have stayed in Ryad Watier before and always wanted to return. It took me 12 years but my sister and I stayed recently and were not disappointed. The riad itself is beautiful with an amazing library and art collection, and the delicious breakfast on the rooftop is a great way to start the day. What really made our stay here however was the friendliness, helpfulness and kindness of Fatiha, Hayat and all of the staff. This was by far the best place we stayed during our month long trip in Morocco. Our time in beautiful Essaouira was too short but we’ll be back. You should not hesitate to book Ryad Watier, and do yourself a favour and treat yourself to a massage as well!

Great location and friendly, helpful staff.

+ Very nicely decorated building and room. Good breakfast on the terrace. Staff were very friendly and helpful, went above and beyond. Great location for all the sites.

− When the toilet below flushed it created a vacuum and the shower lost its water lock. Meant the room was quite smelly for a lot of the time.
