Absolutely nothing. I’m picky when it comes to properties but here nothing to stay : Watier & Spa was just perfect 👌🏾.

Cosy, quite, smells excellent at any time of the day, warm place. The room was perfect and so charming with very nice local furniture and design.

We liked everything about this property, the people, the design and the food. A real treat and a great place to stay. I would recommend this to anyone who wants that something extra special.

Truly a gem of a Riad in the medina of Essaouira, run by the incredible Hayat and Fatiha who make the place feel like home. Not only was the stay excellent, but they went above and beyond in helping us plan our stay during the busiest weekend of the year in Essaouira, the Gnawa music festival.

Beautiful place. The friendliest and most helpful staff who make you feel really at home. The rooms are very big and beautiful and through the open doors you can hear the sea and seagulls. The city has a very nice atmosphere. Great breakfast.

Just a note that there is no air conditioning and that the window I had in my room faced the interior court yard. It was not a problem. It was not too hot there.

I liked the experience of staying in the Ryad. Breakfast was very nice. The rooms were cozy and nicely decorated. Loved the decor and the host was very nice.

The property is beautiful and beautifully furnished. Our room was large, lovely and quiet. We looked forward to the breakfasts on the roof, which were delicious. Good location in the Medina. The staff were very friendly and very helpful. This was the nicest place we stayed in our three weeks of traveling around Morocco.

Ryad is a walk up building so stairs are to be kept in mind.

Staff was amazing. Hayat, Fatiha and others made us feel very welcome.

We loved it.

We loved this Riad and would definitely recommend. It is super clean and the food is great. The location is perfect. The owner made us dinner reservations each night. Suggested spots for happy hour and booked ATVs on the beach. Our room was comfortable and we look forward to returning.

The Ryad Watier is beautiful place full of interesting artwork and books. It was so peaceful and safe for me as a single woman travelling solo. My double room was large and the bed comfortable. There was a roof terrace to relax. Fatiha and all the staff were so helpful and friendly - even arranging for a book I left behind to be sent to me.

The beds were a little hard but this is all about personal taste. The bed covers were beautiful though! :)

Absolutely beautiful riadh run by Hayat and her team. The building is beautiful and our room was equally stunning. The terrace is great for sunbathing. The breakfast was lovely with french pastries making for a welcome addition to lovely Moroccan breakfast items. The hammam on site was wonderful. We appreciated the advice and help of the team. We were so lucky to have found this beautiful home.

Nothing, we had a fabulous stay.

This is a beautiful riad in a great location in the medina but a little back from the bustle and noise of the main streets. It’s very well maintained and very clean and the breakfast on the rooftop is delicious. These are all excellent plus points, but the biggest plus point was the staff. The manager Hayad and her small team put their heart and soul into running the riad and into making their guests feel welcome in both their riad and Essaouira in general. They were so friendly and helpful and lovely to chat too. Totally first class.

I loved everything

From the moment I arrived it was clear this place was special. Such a warm friendly welcome and beautiful interior. It's absolutely stunning inside and out. The rooftop in particular was gorgeous. On top of all that, the staff are brilliant offering maps and advice on getting the most out of Essaouira. I loved this place.

It was a little cold while we were there with no option to heat the room. And although all of the lighting was beautiful, the bathroom could’ve used more light for my old eyes.. so

We can’t see enough good things about our hostesses, Hayat and Fatia (forgive me if I spelled that incorrectly) well, located in secretive in that way, we had a gorgeous large room with comfortable beds and a couch. We also had a little terrace to catch sun, although we were there when it was cool.. breakfast was ample and their special mixed nut butter toooo tasty. It enriched our journey being able to have such intimate conversations with these fine examples of modern Moroccan women. PS they serve beer. And have very wonderful recommendations for restaurants. I wish we could’ve stayed longer.

It was a small boutique hotel, very friendly and helpful staff, wonderful location and a delicious breakfast.

Artistically decorated Riad. A wonderful welcoming aroma on the stairwell, lots of nooks and corners to escape in, very peaceful and welcoming. Large room with wonderful shower and locally-sourced toiletries. A sumptuous breakfast of local treats and eggs cooked to order. Staff went out of their way to accommodate our every need.

Location is great in the medina and loved my private hammam experience & massage - what a delight! The 2-bedroom, 2-level room was perfect for our family to have enough space too. Such friendly staff - thank you so much!
