Dar Ness

Really nice breakfast on the rooftop of the riad with lovely views of the sea. The staff were very helpful in booking us a taxi and the riad was located in a very central spot which made it easy to get to all of the key places in Essouaria.

The riad is next to Taros bar which is rather loud on a Friday night. This was coupled with construction on the riad next door, which made relaxing on the rooftop rather difficult.

The staff of this Riad was very helpful and gave excellent service. They made dinner reservations and arranged for a car rental seamlessly. They have nice rooftop terrace where we had breakfast. The staff brought breakfast up many narrow flights of stairs to make this possible. They were always cheerful and kind.

The location of this riad is very problematic. They are right next to a night club with live music which goes until 1:00 am on some nights and 2:00 am others. The music is deafeningly loud in the rooms. This was a topic of conversation among all the guests. Some resorted to earplugs to get a night's sleep. Other's sang along to the covers of American music because you could hear all the lyrics clearly in the rooms. The other issue we had is that the furnishings are tired. The sheets are coarse and scratchy, the towels threadbare, the mattresses lumpy. The owners need to invest in upgrading the place.
