I stayed here with my mum for 3 nights, we felt very well looked after and the breakfast was excellent. The Riad has a lovely garden area and terrace. We stayed in the Corail room and it was perfectly adequate but a little bit on the small side. Our hosts were very kind and helpful and gave very good advice... More

Very friendly guesthouse through which we discovered a lot of great things and met really nice people. It's clean, beautifully decorated with local arts and crafts and you receive an excellent breakfast. We recommend Dar Dayana! Lisa & Lucas

Had a great stay here in the turquoise room, which was lovely (but also peeked in the other rooms, and they were all beautifully decorated). The staff was very hospitable and welcoming, the breakfast was superb, and the cooking class with Hakima was fun and delicious. Overall, good value for the price and we would highly recommend this riad.

I stayed here for 3 nights with my boyfriend and had a fantastic time. The owners were exceptionally welcoming when we arrived and gave us complimentary tea and biscuits along with very good advice as to where to go and what to do.

Practically located in the medina, just tucked off a quiet side street not far from the Supratour bus stop, shopping/souk streets, entrance to the beach and nice cafes (eg Caravane Cafe) this riad was a great find. It is run by a retired french couple who cheerily welcomed me in and gave great tips on where to eat and how... More

Dar Dayana is greatly situated in the center of Essaouira's medina. The court is beautiful, the roof terrace has a nice view over the medina. Our room was nicely furnished but too small. We didn't really have space for our luggage. Service was great and very helpful. Hakima served us a very good breakfast with homemade yoghurt and fresh orange-juice.

When you enter Dar Dayana from the busy (and dirty) streets of Essaouira you feel like you have entered a different world. The design of the hotel and the rooms is great and the atmosphere helps you to calm down and relax. The staff is super friendly and helpful. As we were the only guests, we had the roof terrace...

The riad was in a very noisy part of town - at any time of the day there was street noise and we were right next to a minaret so the 5 am call to prayer felt like it was coming from the house! The kitchen was in need of a good clean and the garden had not been swept.... More
