Reviews of Dar Lazuli Bed & Breakfast

We stayed there just over a week - our hosts were very helpful & considerate - we loved it & will certainly return .

Perhaps more light at the entrance as the approaching alley is quite dark & uneven .

the owners are lovely and the breakfast was so good! would stay there again

A very quaint and characterful Rihad, close to the harbour and in the old town.

Nothing

Beautiful terrace. Location was great. They were super helpful and accommodating even with a language barrier. Big comfy bed. Loved having a small kitchen.

Nothing.

The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful and the breakfast the made was one of the best we had in Marokko. The room was very pitoresque and comfortable, soundproof, with great beds and a large shower and the location in the city was nothing less than perfect. Close to the beach, in a not too chaotic part of the medina. An absolute reccomendation

It was a little bit hard to find the front door using google maps. A sign in the street next to it might help. But besides that: all good! Very good actually!

Centrally located. Easy to find. They gave good instructions. Friendly staff (unfortunately they don’t speak many words English). Beautiful building.

Uncomfortable bed. No sound proofing. Something like church bell rings around the clock on weird times. I woke up also at night. On wintertime really cold in the room. Electric heater would be needed. Staff only there in mornings. You can’t ask anything if you need something. Steep stairs. Difficult with a suitcase. (I couldn’t find anyone to help when I left.)

The location was perfect, and my room had access up into the roof terrace which was a real plus with fantastic 360 views. Comfortable room and bed. Breakfast on the upper terrace. The cooking lesson with Hayat was a highlight.

Very authentic and charming Riad Rachid and his wife very very warm and kind Location was great Wonderful experience

Nothing

Location was excellent. Breakfast good. Decoration great.

Upon entering the B and B, we immediately noticed a musty smell which also prevailed in our room.

Thank you very much for clean, cosy and very warm stay in you home❤️

Latifa and Rachid are very nice people. The showed us around the whole place . We were the only family in the B&B. We had a great home made Breakfast every day. Rachid told us the nice places we should visit. The B&B is like a pearl hidden in the Medina. please don`t tell to many people about this beautiful house is Essaouira....

Very good located, nice room, kind personnel. We would choose it again.

Rachid has been so helpful and nice to help us to find the place, he showed us everything, the terrace and the bedroom. He was very nice still at the end when we had a problem to pay and helped us to contact the owners and solve the problem. The place is very well located in the center of Essaouira.

The location is great - so close to great restaurants, shops and local sights within the Medina. Latifa and Rachid are so helpful and attentive. The apartment was perfect - really cozy and well equipped.

Nothing to dislike!

Close to parking and port

This hotel is example of tradition at the price of comfort. Very narrow but cold room, kitchen without coffee/tea, to get to/from bed need to use steep stairs, matter of time when someone will fall. WiFi or 3g not working on the bed. Mirrors at bathroom are at very low height

Tucked away down an alley behind a smart hotel, just inside the medina and a couple of minutes from the sea and the souks. Lovely riad; our room was spacious, with cooking facilities and a huge bed on a mezzanine. Several terraces to sit out on, with fine views of the town and the sea from the roof terrace - perfect for watching the sunset. Good breakfast prepared and served in the downstairs kitchen by Latifa. She and Rachid were there when needed, and were very helpful. Essaoira is a great town to chill out in, especially if you are coming from the madness of Marrakech.

Nothing.

Very clean riad, a lot of attention was given to the cleanliness and we had fresh towels every day. Breakfast was nice. The bed was huge and very comfortable. Well equipped kitchen if you wanted to cook. We were able to leave our bags on check out day to save lugging them around. Well located for the harbour and the Medina. Staff were helpful and friendly.

The bells! I'd read reviews about the bell ringing and thought it would be fine but it is super annoying, it rings every 15 minutes even through the night 😳. I imagine you can hear it from many riads in the Medina, not just at this property There was also quite a bit of noise from evening entertainment but we like to go to bed early, it probably wouldn't bother most people. The riad is at the end of a dark alley so it's a little intimidating at first...all of the riads we stayed in were down alleys so that wasn't particularly unusual, it was just that it was a dead end and dark (during the day, it's lit at night) I wouldn't let that put you off but it's nice to know what to expect.

A traditional Riad in the Medina. Fantastic location, walking distance to beach and port. Interesting to be living the traditional way in a charming room. Good breakfast with homemade yoghurt and “crepes”, breads, honey and spreads, coffee and a choice of teas prepared by Latifa.

No cupboards or wardrobe. However we managed with the hook on the wall and the shelves and felt that we were experiencing the local customs. Steep narrow stairs up to the bed

We stayed here for 3 nights and we wish, we would have had more time here. For us, everything was perfect: a spacious and beautifully decorated and very clean room with everything we needed - there was even a small kitchen! Our room was cleaned and the bed was made every morning, which we appreciated a lot. The Dar Lazuli has many shared spaces, each of them thoughtfully decorated and to make the guest feel cozy and at home. The view from the rooftop is stunning - especially at sun set! The location is perfect - in the old town of Essaouira, but only 5 mins from a parking (if needed). Rachid, who is running the house, is very kind and helpful and we felt very welcome. We can 100% recommend and would stay here again next time. Thank you!

Authentic, clean, comfortable bed and location.

Being near the clock tower (noise)

We felt super welcome at Dar Lazuli. Lati and Rashid were very friendly and the place was gorgeous.

Perfect location, fantastic team looking after us
