“Very nice hotel with some problems”
Very nice hotel. Big, beautiful courtyard filled with foliage. Dinner was inventive and delicious. Privileged location within the old city walls but near the entrance so the hotel has more space and sunlight and is more convenient than most. The room was neat, clean, comfortable, and well designed. Unfortunately, the AC was very weak, which prevented a good night's sleep. Other guests were similarly complaining. The hotel sent up a purported mechanic who did nothing other than trying to gaslight us into believing that all was fine - we heard him trying to convince other guests as well. Hard to imagine what the rooms are like in the blaze of summer heat. Also, for such an otherwise nice hotel the reception area is very unimpressive - an old messy desk with lots of wires and trashcans underneath it. And unlike most upper end hotels, this one does not have a nice boutique to visit and sample the local crafts - it just has a display case. Too bad - with just some tweaking and better management, this hotel really could be a superstar.

“Gorgeous riad with great food”
This hotel is in a great location in the old city. The room was large and spacious as was the bathroom. The room itself could use more lighting and more accessible outlets (you have to reach behind the nightstand close to the floor to get to the outlet). The bathroom had great lighting and wonderful water pressure in the shower. WiFi was excellent. When we were there it was warm (in the high 80s), and the air conditioning in the room could not cool off the room. So it was warm and humid and a bit musty in the room. We requested a fan and got one, but the only power outlet we could find that would allow us to place the fan so it could blow towards the bed was in the closet. It was what the TV was plugged into. So we moved the TV out and plugged the fan in. The breakfast that was included was very good. As was the dinner we had at the hotel.

“A Wonderfully vocative building - and a nice hotel!”
A wonderfully evocative building with colonial overtones but modernised sympathetically. The central atrium was filled with tall tropical trees and plants and was overlooked by galleries at three levels from which the bedrooms were accessed. Our first floor bedroom was comfortable if slightly small but with all required facilities. The food was pleasant with breakfast offering a particularly wide choice and the dinner menu was also comprehensive. Whilst there is a bar and a restaurant most guests preferred to sit at tables amongst the plants on the central atrium ground floor where the layout was particularly attractive. Service was excellent possibly helped by the omnipresent and very visible manager. The hotel is located at the entrance to the Essaouira Medina which is much more relaxed than Marrakech and very pleasant to walk around. We would return!

“Simply Outstanding”
Where do I start ..... other than I want to go back !!!!! We stayed in room 35 which was a premier suite and was exceptional. Location : Being situated just within the walls of the Medina gave you the best of both worlds. The beach is approximately a 5 minute walk and you are in the heart of the Medina once you set foot out of the hotel front door. Staff : This is what really makes this hotel shine. The hotel itself is impeccably maintained and exquisitely decorated but that aside the staff are truly outstanding. There was nothing that you felt they wouldn't do for you. Every part of the day the staff were smiling, welcoming, helpful and genuine. We met the hotel manager, Eric, several times who always went out of his way to talk to you and make you feel extremely welcome. This is a very well run ship with excellent "crew" and they should be applauded for their work. Rooftop Terrace : Again a stunning space and actually the website doesn't do this area justice. I wasn't expecting it to be so big an area with bar and restaurant. The pool was lovely and clean but probably the best thing about this area is that you can see absolutely everything - the sea on one side and the Medina on the other. Food : We had breakfast every morning which was laid out with a range of pastries, to local cuisines, fruit etc.... and a hot option of eggs in a variety of ways. We had lunch on the rooftop terrace which again was lovely. We didn't eat in the hotel in the evening as we were out exploring the Medina but I can only presume it will be excellent based on the food we had. We did, however, sit in the courtyard in the evening for drinks which was delightful as the setting is stunning. I cannot recommend this hotel enough not only for it's beauty and location but because of the staff that are there which makes it even more special.

“Unbeatable in Essaouira”
The hotel is located right at one of the entrances to the Medina. It’s convenient in that sense but note you cannot take the vehicle right up to the hotel, it’s certainly easier to get to that other hotels in the Medina. The staff and rooms were impeccable. Loved every aspect of our stay and only commendations to them all. Definitely the best place to stay in Essaouira.
