Charming Dar in the heart of the Medina. Parking is fairly easy (5-10 minute walk from closest parking lot just outside of the Medina. Owner also sent someone to guide us from the Medina door to the Dar. Breakfast was good, room was charming and clean. We did not have hot water when we wanted to have a shower, and that was disappointing. This may have been an exceptionnel problem. We were rushed so did not ask the owner about getting hot water.

Lovely riad, even better hosts.
Great place to stay and even better hosts. Really looked after us and gave us their tips on what to do. One example was we had bought fish at the port to cook at a local restaurant. We didn't know where so he walked us to one he recommended and had a great meal, plus didn't get ripped off!

At home again
This was our second time a Dar Rahaothello. This trip we stayed at 7 other Riads in Morocco; many were equally attractive in decor, but none matched the service we received from Nezha. We find the town very relaxed, and again we had a superb meal cooked by Nezha (3 fish courses and an apple crumble). We feel at home!

Great location and kind, helpful staff
Staff were great and very helpful. Lacation is good and it is an interesting building. Took us two days to find the rooftop patio! Rates were reasonable and Nasir makes a great breakfast. We didn't try dinner but heard it was excellent.

Good basic accommodation
Not too inspiring from the outside, right in the middle of the souk, nor on first impressions as you walk in the door, BUT once you acclimatise to it all becomes very pleasing. The room was spacious with a 3 seater padded bench and coffee table, the bed was very comfortable and the best we have had in Morocco. The shower had oodles of hot water if not particular powerful, Breakfast was plentiful, with freshly squeezed orange and plenty of coffee and fresh bread/pancakes/eggs. We had one evening meal and that was perfect, the equal to any we had anywhere else. Nezha, the manager and the other staff were very helpful and friendly. The only disappointment was the roof terrace, the chairs were old and past it, the sunbed mattresses were the same and looking at some of the pictures on Expedia, you would think it was a different place, the paint was a different colour and the terrace cushions were nothing like reality. Having said all that, I would stay here again, it was quiet, the only noises we heard were the seagulls.

Don't be put off by the little tunnel you walk through to get to the Riad. Once inside Nezha and the rest of the staff make you feel very welcome. I was travelling alone and the only Brit staying when I was there, but I was made very welcome. Would definitely stay here again. Ideally placed within the Medina.

Nice
We booked at this hotel but got an option of anther hotel they had five minutes away. So this review is based on that hotel and not dar rahaothello. The hotel we stayed at was very comfortable and the staff could not have been more helpful. The only issue we had was the mattress if u like a strong orthapedic mattress you'll be fine. They showed us around and essaouira is easy to get around. We had a great couple of days, nice breakfast on the terrace if only a little lack lustre , loads of bread and croissant , lovely fresh orange juice, superb coffees and yogurt. Overall a great experience and would definitely return land well recommended.

A wonderful stay
We stayed here for a week and loved every minute! The riad is a little treasure, down a well-hidden little alley way and from the moment we walked in, we felt welcome. Our double room was comfortable with plenty of space for luggage and a lovely open window looking down onto the pretty courtyard below and up to the sky and the terrace. Nazah and Rajid, the manager and night manger, were always friendly and couldn't have been more helpful. The location of the riad is perfect, right in the middle of the medina, so it was a lovely walk out in whichever direction we chose to wander everyday. It was lovely to come back and sit on the roof top terrace, out of sight of the souks, but with a fascinating view over the roof tops, out to see. Omar, Nazah's husband, took us out to the Berber market which was a real experience and we were very grateful for his insight and company. We would thoroughly recommend Dar Rahaothello and would love to revisit ourselves.

Magical place in the heart of the Medina
A tastefully renovated building and beautifully decorated rooms; quiet yet in the heart of the medina and close to the souks, markets, harbour, cafes, restaurants and a short walk from the beach. Lovely friendly people looking after us, great breakfasts plus traditional home cooked dinners can be available if you request them. Advice and help any time you need it. Plenty of hot water. Great views from the terrace. A lovely place to stay!

Hidden Gem
on a winter sun break from wet and windy UK to sunny Essaouira, the riad - tucked away down a side street in the heart of the medina - is small and cosy with only six rooms, all spotlessly clean and decorated in a combination of traditional Moroccan décor with eclectic oriental artwork from the owners' travels. One of the best features is the sun terrace with 360 view of city roofscape and sound of the ocean ... has sun loungers, great for relaxing away from the hustle and bustle of the souks which the good continental breakfast will set you up for. Rachid was extremely kind and helpful, every ready with a pot of mint tea. We are regular visitors to Essaouira and will certainly visit Dar Rahaothello again.

Beautiful Dar tucked away in a small alleyway
This beautiful Dar (not a Riad) was our base in Essaouira. It is centrally located between the big market and the fort. The staff was cool, always reponsive ad helpful and at the same time unintrusive. The rooms were charming and clean.

Simpel, men hyggelig og billig Riad. Utrolig hjælpsom vært. God morgenmad. Centralt beliggende, men man skal igennem en mørk og beskidt gyde. Kun en enkelt stråle vand i bruseren.

Mysig liten riad imitt i Essaouiras medina
När man viker in i lilla gränden mot hotellet blir man ängslig, mörkt och smutsigt! Men inne i riaden öppnar sig samlingsrummet med fina murade valv, en fontän, matbord och sittsoffor. Ansvarige killen pratar bra engelska, kvinnlig personal som gör frukost och städar är kvinnor. och pratar bara arabiska. Rummen är rustika, men mysfaktorn är hög. Konsten på väggarna är av högsta klass, från Marocko, Afrika, Kina. Ägaren en amerikan i 70 -årsåldern är tydligen konstsamlare. Rekommenderas verkligen- vi bodde där på lågsäsong - då var priset 270 Dirham + skatt 30 kr. Ett fynd!

Un magnifique riad
Le riad nous a tout de suite plu : très belle décoration et meubles provenant du Maroc et des autres voyages du propriétaire, magnifique terrasse. Notre chambre était également très belle : grande et décorée typiquement. Très bon accueil : Omar et Rachid ont toujours été chaleureux et de bons conseils. La situation du riad est parfaite : en plein coeur de la Médina. Le petit-déjeuner était divin, nous nous somme régalés! Petit conseil pour les voyageurs en hiver : pensez à se munir de vêtements chauds car le riad est ouvert et donc non chauffé. Nous recommandons ce riad à tout voyageur.

Charmante, kleine Herberge
Der einzige Negativpunkt ist, dass die Pfannen in der Gästeküche in einem desolaten Zustand waren. Die Teflonbeschichtung war grösstenteils abgekratzt oder verbrannt, zudem waren sie dreckig (eingebrannte Fettränder), und die Holzkellen hatten Ungeziefer dran. Das Personal war aber sehr hilfsbereit, aufmerksam und zurückhaltend. Finde ich sehr positiv.

tranquilité et convivialité
Pour faire court et ne pas en "faire de trop", notre séjour (2 semaines) s'est très agréablement passé grâce à l'adaptabilité d'Omar (le gérant)face à notre situation particulière, mais aussi son accueil chaleureux ainsi que le confort et la beauté des lieux. Nous avons pu également connaître et réaliser la recette de la tajine, du couscous grâce aux repas qui nous y ont été souvent proposés en toute convivialité. Et aussi des adresses dans la Médina pour manger et pas que des restaurants pour touristes. Bref, une adresse à recommander chaudement!
