En Essaouira tienes tu casa!

+ El alma del Watier la ponen Fathija, Hayad, Jean Gabriel ( el propietario) y el resto del personal, con todos sus gestos hospitalarios y cuidadosos. Te hacen sentir en casa! La ubicación es magnífica, cerca a pie de todo. El zumo recién exprimido y las confituras de los abundantes desayunos. La magnífica biblioteca, que completa la estética de este bello Ryad. Lo recomiendo, sin dudas!!!!!

Las personas con dificultad para las escaleras, deben tener en cuenta que no hay habitaciones en planta baja.

Séjour au cœur de la médina et hors du temps

+ Tout était parfait. De L’accueil en passant par les chambres, le petit déjeuner, la propreté, le wifi, la situation sans oublier tous les conseils de visites de restaurant, de boutiques pour les épices.

Outstanding historic and well managed Ryad in Medina of Essaouira

+ I‘ve now stayed 4th time at Ryad Watier, my favorite place in Essaouira. It‘s the combination of the stunning building which has been tasteful renovated (an abandoned former school), the location in the Medina close to the sea, the breakfast which is every day a highlight or simply the personell: the all female crew managed by Hayat knows very well what they are doing and nothing beats uber friendly and helpful receptionist Fatiha. For me, Ryad Watier is more than a hotel where you stay a couple days and then leave. It‘s home and you are part of the family and always happily return! See you next time!
