The room and the furniture, balcony, the curtains in it already needs renovation, but this is a common thing in Morocco, they don't care about it :) It is a studio, there is a small fridge and an electric stove, but there are no pots or pans for cooking, just a few cutlery and glasses. The windows of the room are on the sunny side, so the room heats quickly but there is no air conditioner so you need to keep the curtains closed. Sometimes, due to construction, restoration works and incomprehensible activities, the noise from outside can disturb your sleep.

I have visited Essaouira several times. This hotel is really a great place to stay to explore this ancient, interesting historical city. The hotel is located in the old town(medina), right on the defensive wall of the old town. All amenities, a good view from the window, there is a balcony-terrace. Good breakfast served on the roof terrace with a great view of the surrounding area and the ocean, friendly and helpful staff.

The view is actually a bit further away and barly visible for the first floor balcony. However, from the rooftop tarrace you can indeed admire the view of the sea. Breakfast was too much carbs for our taste: 2 types of bread, pancakes, pain au chocolat and just a small omlette with a little bit of cheese. Also the coffee could be better

The location is conveniently close to the beach, the port and main street of medina. The hosts are kind and helpful. He gave us tips on what to visit in Essaouira and how to get to Casablanca the next day. They also agreed to give us takeaway breakfast on the day of our departure. Beds are confortable

Need some renovation. This is not very clean hostel in my opinion. Some more advanced cleaning and renovation is a must

Good location and great view from the room. You can also eater a breakfast from a terrrace. Nice staff and tasty breakfast. Good price for stay.

There wasn't any shampoo 😔. The seagulls outside the window were loud and disturbed my sleep and needed to get used to the noise.

We loved the big window. Every day they were cleaning our room. Also breakfast was good. We asked for extra coffee and tea. The staff was helpful and caring.

I did not like the attitude of the hotel manager, who refused my reservation in a room with a balcony when I arrived at the hotel, and suggested that I cancel it there, on the spot without additional costs, because I did not respond to mail to the question "at what time do you arrive at the hotel?" sent 1 day before and which informed me that during my vacation I am absolutely obliged to answer emails and that this is life, sometimes unfair... Thus, I was put in an unpleasant situation during my vacation. Everything was saved by Mohamed who, after offering me a room without a balcony for 1 night, moved me to the room with a balcony that I originally booked. Thanks again, Mohamed. You are the best.

The breakfast , especially the juice was bottled orange juice Anyway it was not like the first time.

The location

Stayed in July 2023

The hotel does not have a card machine which is really inconvenient when attempting to pay the bill. I would have preferred to pay through booking.com or by card at the hotel for payment protection, and to have known this hotel is cash-only before booking. As Morocco is a closed currency, it is important to consider withdrawing cash locally will incur additional costs for travelers. As I was not aware of this beforehand, the hotel agreed to absorb this charge but it would be best to ensure customers know that the hotel is cash only when making the booking. Although our rooms were clean and serviced each day, there is a big ant problem in the hotel and ants were in our bathroom, crawled into our beds and into my hairbrush! This should be resolved asap. Some areas of the hotel are quite tired - it was lovely to have breakfast on the terrace but it could do with being deep cleaned, repainted and perhaps new cushions/outdoor furniture to make it more comfortable.

The staff at the hotel were lovely and helpful. The hotel is in a great location, close to the sea and the market. Breakfast is delicious and the staff were so friendly. Rooms are spacious and clean, beds are comfortable and it is a nice middle ground between a traditional riad and a hotel. There is a spa connected with the hotel a few minutes walk away,and the hammam rates are very reasonable. Staff were very kind in helping to book the hammam, helping with organising transfers, and offering to make recommendations of places to eat locally.

The location

It is a nice riad. Room was nice, location - perfect, basically in the medina :) and so close to the ocean! Breakfast was also wonderful :) There is also a nice terrace at the top where you can sit. Also, what is really good - there is a fridge and kettle in the room, so you can make tea or coffee whenever you want. If you come by car, there is a good parking not far (we paid ~60 dirhams for 2 nights).

NOT the fault of the property but the surrounding street was full of cat poo. after travelling Morocco for 3 weeks we were kinda used to it but it was pretty bad for such an otherwise clean city.

beautiful airy room with comfortable beds & a great shower. very friendly staff, nothing too much trouble.

Nothing in the way we were looked after.we were very pleased.

Breakfast was good varied typical moroccon style fresh fruit platter twice a week baked eggs and tomatoes fresh bread pancakes ? crepe, honey and apricot jam butter and fabulous freshly squeezed orange juice .Our room was very light and bright lovely large windows with a view down to the beach. Excellent shower plenty of hot water linen and towels changed every day which was a luxury but on a personal level considering all the climatic problems etc we would have been happy with less changes .The staff were excellent there was always a sound of laughter the staff seem very happy in their jobs . Mohammed was so smiley and very helpful all of the time as was the young lady receptionist. Our room needed the curtains replacing they were faded and need replacing there were also some holes There was a two ring hob but no cooking equipment if you wanted to we did not .. The furniture could do with a coat of paint and the sofa cover needs washing or dry cleaning it was marked . The call to prayer is 5 times a day and its quite close but we soon became used to it .to sum up lovely staff happy atmosphere .

No fan or heater. Balcony door was difficult to move and once opened, we could not lock it again. It was down to 8C at night and as there was no heater in the room and it was becoming uncomfortably cool in the room. Also, as with the majority of on-line photos of everything these days, places always appear to be much nicer in the on- line photos than they are in real life and this holds true for this property as well. it was a bit of a let down in comparison to the photos on the booking site.

The view from our room was nice and the breakfast was outstanding. you can eat on the terrace or in your room. Due to the outside temperature, we had breakfast brought to our room. Staff were all very nice and helpful. Room had a kitchenette so we brought food from outside to have in our room. Great water pressure and water gets nice and hit! gGreat location for exploring on foot.

The description of the junior suite is a total exaggeration. It is a room with a double bed, shower room and nice balcony. There is a functional fridge in the room. Access to an executive facility is?? questionable.

Staff are lovely & very helpful. I liked the view & our balcony
