From.the moment I arrived at this hidden little gem everything was wonderful. I was travelling alone for a horse riding holiday and staying outwith before the trek and after here. I was welcomed from the start and absolutely lived my stay. My room was absolutely gorgeous, full of character and added to my Morroccon experience. The Riad is hidden away like most of them but was very easy to find when I found my bearings. The breakfast is were delicious and there was lots of places to sit and chill. The terrace was lovely to watch the sunset. I will 💯 stay here again.

In short, it was a truly enchanting experience. The rooms are beautifully crafted, adorned with art at every turn—it's clear the owner has a passion for collecting. If I find myself in Essaouira again, I won’t hesitate to choose this place for my stay.

The Riad is absolutely beautiful. It is really easy to find, and ideally located to explore the medina. Everything about our stay was excellent. The room was really comfortable, the breakfast was lovely and we also had dinner there one evening which I would highly recommend. Unfortunately my son was unwell during our stay (from some seafood from elsewhere!) - the gentleman at the Riad was so helpful! He was very sick during the night meaning all of our bedding needed taking off, he came and helped me get sorted and quickly got new bedsheets sorted so we could get back to bed. I was so grateful, and the staff showed genuine concern, checking in and making some simple meals for him such as a bowl of rice to help his stomach settle again. Without all of this the stay was already exceptional but the care on top of the hospitality was fantastic.

We absolutely loved Dar Dayana - great interior, comfortable (our room - turquoise, even had a nice seating area outside!) and really nice bathroom. We liked combination of traditional Moroccan style with some funky artwork. It is such a peaceful and relaxed accommodation with great breakfast. We stayed in February when a lot of roads gets cold, but here it was nice and warm. Definitely the place to stay in lovely Essaouira. Friendly and very helpful owners (we forgot something there and they are helping us to get things shipped). Thanks for everything!

Great value for money and design! I don't think that there is another property in Essaouira that matches the quality (comfort, decor, convenience of location, breakfast and staff) and price of this place. Absolutely recommend! Including the hammam!!! :)
