Great location right in the medina — the port, the ramparts and the market are all a short walk away. The staff were warm and helpful, and when we mentioned we had a car they immediately pointed us to a decent parking spot nearby, which we really appreciated. Breakfast was a highlight — fresh, generous and served on the terrace.

“A wonderful hotel in a perfect location to explore and enjoy this pretty town.”
Lovely rooftop for breakfast and general relaxing. All the areas of the hotel were extremely pretty. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Our bed and bedroom (and bathroom) were very comfortable. It was a wonderful 6 day holiday at the hotel and the location was very near the town and the coast and the port. So much to explore in Essaouria.

“Clean and stylish accomodation close to public parking”
Stylish and clean hotel with good breakfast. Patking is very easy at a nearby public parking place, which is only 3 minutes walk away. Parking was very expensive even compared to Marrakesh: 70 MAD per day. Rooms and bathroom werr clean. We could leave our luggage there till ee came back from a walk after checkout.

Good location with clean and comfortable room. Hot shower with good water pressure. Some construction work next door was rather loud during the day but can't be helped. Breakfast was a little basic compared to other riads. Helpful staff and flexible check-out time was appreciated.
