The place was great. We found it after deciding against a backpackers hostel which was marginally less expensive but much less friendly, clean and welcoming. Paco was an absolute gentleman even though we spoke no french and he no english. All his staff were just as friendly and helpful. The room was light and clean and well decorated with a... More

Lovely place to stay in the charming city of Essaouira. Helpful and good hosts. Decent rooms-simple and clean. Attention to detail, Moroccan style with contemporary touch - good selection of B&W professional photographs. Delicious breakfast each day- home made pancakes everything fresh and yummy. High recommendations.

We spent 2 nights at Dar El Paco in Essaouira, one of these being the New Year's Eve. It was pretty difficult to find the riad at first (although they sent by email a map of how to get there), but it was absolutely worth it. The rooms were clean, comfy and arranged in a way to make you feel... More

This place was really lovely, clean, fantastic location and had great staff! The breakfast was freshly made and delicious! Highly recommended.

An extremely easy to find idyll just away from the hussle and bustle of the main medina. Paco was a charming host in a charming guest house. I would definately stay there again. The rooms and bathrooms were compact and bijoux, but fine for what we needed, as really we were there just to sleep, and I have to say... More

Mr. Paco speak only French, but with a smile and good will, you can understand a lot. Dar El Paco is a small tiny place with a familiar atmosphere, Mr Paco introduces you to the city with a lot of good infortmation, rooms are small but cosy. the roof terrace is nice. Mr. Paco prepares the breakfast and he does... More
