Essaouira hotellia

Plussat: The location is very beautiful with palms, trees, bougainvillea and flowers. There are two heated swimming pools, one adult only. The staff is very friendly. The food in the hotel is delicious and fresh. It is so good that you always want to stay there. Our room was upgraded by the hotel which was a positive surprise. The view from our beautiful room was amazing and you could enjoy the hills with argan trees and a unique sunset.

Miinukset: All was excellent. My only suggestion is to add a fridge in the room.

Plussat: Beautiful garden, amazing pool area, great rooms. This place is really going the extra mile to please its guests.

Miinukset: The only thing I can think of is that the cuisine could have been more authentic.

Plussat: We loved everything abıut the our stay at LeJardin des Douars. Thestaff was amazing, nice and sincere. Smily faces all the time. The food was great and the coffee in the morning just made our day. We would like to thank everybody. Definately would like to come again :)

Plussat: Impressive garden, separate children and adult pools. Loved the make-your-own hammam equipment they left in the bathroom. Liked the cats. .

Miinukset: Would have liked bottled water in the room

Plussat: a true oasis. Rooms were little houses in amongst verdant planting made to mimic berber housing. big domed roof above the bed with inlaid coloured glass which shone through at dawn exquisite. very attentive staff with interesting food options tradiotional moroccan and with a twist great place to chill

Miinukset: all good

Plussat: It was amazing beautiful room and private balcony. We definitely coming back soon

Plussat: Beautiful, tranquil paradise. Staff are so friendly and attentive. Bathroom with giant bathtub was heaven. Amazing value for money.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The hotel was extremely clean and well kept. Staff was friendly and helpful. The room was magnificent - best bed we had so far in Morocco.

Miinukset: We like our hotels a bit more low key. We felt like royalty in this beautiful palace, which is a feeling we don’t usually enjoy. We’re a young couple and tend to go for more boutique style places. That being said; if you like staying in a hotel that takes care of your every need, Quieta is the place!

Plussat: Everything!

Plussat: Peace & tranquility of the property. Quality bedding and cleanliness.

Miinukset: Breakfast was a bit of an unknown quantity no info, should we help ourselves to cereal? Then just asked how you would like your eggs and eggs was it!!!!

Plussat: Close to beach although a 20 min walk to town. Very clean. We were unexpectedly given an upgrade to the suite which was probably bigger than our flat(!) Staff were polite if a little impersonal. Nice small pool area.

Miinukset: This place would have been amazing 15-20 years ago but they’ve seemingly done little to update it since. Plug socket falling off wall in bathroom, Tv took an hour to update its software and be useable, and air conditioning was broken. Staff were nice enough to provide a bottle of wine and 10% off for this but would have expected a higher standard for what we were paying. Hot water in shower also didn’t work - maybe we needed to leave it for longer but we waited a while!

Plussat: We had a garden suite which was a huge amount of space for myself and my daughter..we loved it. The pool and garden area was lovely. Very nice staff, very helpful and we were driven to the bus station for no charge which was very nice

Miinukset: We didn’t realise that there was no other food served in the hotel apart from breakfast but the hotel was close to other places so it was fine. The garden was lovely, pool area was good but not enough sun beds for busier times.

Plussat: Location was perfect. Staff were very helpful and welcoming.

Plussat: The bathroom needed extraction. The room smelt slightly damp at times. The connecting room was quite load and needs to be blocked up properly or a new acoustic door fitted. Overall we had a great stay and the staff were exceptional!

Plussat: Thus was the highlight of our stay. We really enjoyed our stay here as the Villa was beautifully appointed with lovely big rooms and nice decorations. The pool area was a very good size. The staff were excellent they could not have done enough for us. No matter what we asked them they efficiently and effectively organised it for us. We enjoyed the walk into the town along the promenade. Overall the whole stay was superb thank you very much.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The welcome lounge is an amazing room, the intricate artistry flows through to the other areas!

Plussat: This is a stunning building, filled with beautiful traditional tile work and artefacts. The communal areas are lovely and there are lots of them where you can relax, including a veranda to watch the sunsets. The rooms are a generous size and very comfortable. Fresh fruit and water are provided for the comfort of the guests. Breakfast is the best we've had anywhere in Morrocco: fresh orange juice, fresh coffee, lots of different breads and jams, yoghurts, cereals, pain au chocolat, omelette of your choice and fresh fruit salad. The staff were also friendly and helpful. It's about a 25 minute walk from the town, but it's along the coast so the views are fantastic and you are very close to the camels on the beach if you fancy a ride! The outdoor pool is an added bonus. We highly recommend Villa Quieta.

Plussat: Really nice and comfortable bed. Big room, so enough space. Great location.

Miinukset: The shower was a bit tricky, the water didn't go down normally.

Plussat: The lobby area and staff were wonderful and helpful. Our room had an incredible view!

Miinukset: The location is on the edge of the Médina so it’s a small walk to the beach. The price was a little high for the value, but the service was amazing.

Plussat: Great location, excellent staff, especially Gregi, dinner was excellent, only the breakfast was a little underwhelming

Miinukset: Breakfast was a bit plain, could have more options and more Moroccon style foods

Plussat: What a beautiful piace, for the first time in my life I had rose petals in the bathroom! The staff is really very very friendly and professional. Highly raccomanded!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Excellent in every possible way.

Plussat: The riad was one of the most beautiful riads we have seen in Morocco. The staff was super friendly and the location was just perfect. We felt like home and the breakfast was really really good. Would definitely recommend this everyone.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Friendly, professional staff.

Plussat: Beautiful location and friendly staff

Plussat: The accommodation was great and amazing. Staff was great and the services.

Miinukset: The parking was not what i expected when i got back to my car it was damaged bad. And i had no one to complain to so i wanna give a tip to the staff dont let annyone park there please the damage was pretty bad.

Plussat: Located a short walk from the main parking in the popular side of the medina, a beautifully restored riad, the hosts are demonstrating the best example of Moroccan hospitality, beautifully arranged rooms and picturesque bathroom in our suite, breakfast to the best standards experienced in Morroco.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: What a beautiful place to stay when discovering Essaouira- nicely decorated and comfortable Riad. Breakfast at the rooftop is astonishing- Both the view and the food !! Right in the Médina - quiet oasis. Very nice people & owners assisting us with everything- thank you so much. From the Riad it is easy access to the beaches - walk or petit taxi...surfing, kitesurfing and many other beach activities. Nice cafe’s and restaurants at the beach. And around the harbor great marine food- fresh and delicious. Very nice medina. Thank you for the great time in Essouira!

Miinukset: Could have stayed much longer

Plussat: Beautiful hotel in the centre of the walled Medina. The rooms were tastefully designed and cleaned daily and the decor was fantastic. The staff were very helpful, the owner took the time to introduce himself and all were friendly. The breakfast, on a great rooftop terrace overlooking the city, was the best we had in Morocco.

Miinukset: Our room was quite small and had no windows- as a result it got quite hot quite quickly and seemed a bit humid- in fairness we booked the cheapest room!

Plussat: The most amazingly comfortable bed. The delicious breakfast served on the roof terrace with views of the medina and beach, simply the nicest way to start your day

Miinukset: There was nothing to dislike

Plussat: Beautiful and stylish place with a very pretty rooftop terrace where you can have breakfast with a view (which is also very good). Very nice and helpful staff and owner.

Plussat: Epic breakfasts. Arguably the best in Essaouira. And great roof top views.

Miinukset: We were there a week and really it was too small. Great for a few days, but not enough room if you’re there any longer.

Plussat: Breakfast and Breakfast location

Miinukset: Hotel owner attitude and behaviour

Plussat: Beautifully decorated, fantastic friendly and helpful staff made us feel very much at home. Great location on a quiet street with an easy walk to everywhere. Lovely rooftop breakfasts with a view. I’d definitely stay again! Highly recommended.

Plussat: This is a comfortable, stylish Riad in a great location in the Médina recently renovated and operated by a French couple and friendly staff. Great bedding and interior design, plus wonderful breakfasts served from a rooftop terrace offering an unobstructed 360 degree view of the city with the the sound of the ocean so close you feel like your on the beach. Highly recommend!

Plussat: amazing breakfast, great view from the roof, perfect service

Miinukset: no window in the room

Plussat: Nice and calm place to stay directly in the medina. Owner was helpful and gave us restaurants / shopping / spa recommendations. Room very clean - garden peaceful.

Miinukset: Make sure you book it with the breakfast :)

Plussat: Recommended by friends, Dar Dayana provides cozy rooms, a comfortable garden for breakfast, and a staff eager to take guests to shops they might not otherwise find in Essaouira. Some rooms have terraces. All look onto the riad’s garden and pool. The cakes, yoghurt, teas and spiced coffee served at breakfast are excellent. Dar Dayana is close to some of Essaouira’s best hideaways for drinks and dinner, including Caravane Café.

Miinukset: The only drawbacks, and they are minor, is that the neighborhood is not one of the cleanest in Essaouira, and the guest house can be a bit hard to find without advance instructions or a map app on your phone.

Plussat: Very welcoming and charming hosts! Very clean, very good location and overall a perfect stay. Breakfast was amazing with self made yogurt and cake. We even received an upgrade, and because we forgot ours their toothpaste.

Plussat: The couple were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very cozy. Only four rooms fronting onto a small garden area. Very friendly and helpful host, Hafid and his wife Hakima. Our room was adequate size with a comfortable bed. The shower was good with plenty of hot water. No complaints. Breakfast was continental style but very good, with fresh baked bread served, along with a nice fruit salad.

Miinukset: The view from the upper rooms, 2nd floor, is not so great, as you look over some unsightly areas. We were fortunate to change rooms to the 1st floor with adjoining outside seating area, which overlooked the garden and was very nice.

Plussat: We stayed at this lovely Riad for six nights, which was a very enjoyable experience. The double room with terrace on the first floor (Audrey Hepburn) is recommended. Hakima and Hafid were very kind hosts.

Miinukset: Nothing to dislike.

Plussat: This place is very special. The sweetest and most helpful hosts, and their effort and love for the dar is visible in every detail. Superb breakfast with, among other, the tastiest homemade yoghurt and the freshest fruits. Very comfortable, super clean room with a beautiful bathroom. Common areas made to feel relaxed and at home. I recommend Dar Dayana 100% and would definitely come back!

Plussat: Perfect place with lovely hosts

Plussat: The owners were so lovely and welcoming and had very good tips for restaurants, we took their suggestion of watching the sunset from the city walls and it was beautiful. The Amethyst room was small but we expected this from the photos and it was very comfortable and cosy with everything that you could need. The courtyard was a lovely setting for breakfast with lots of nice plants and the breakfast itself was fantastic - delicious homemade jams and yoghurt, fresh fruit, crusty bread, homemade crepes and eggs to order. The best breakfast we had in Morocco by far! The roof terrace was also a nice place to relax. The location was easy to find and very central in the old Medina.

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: The location - in the heart of medina, close to everywhere, the courtyard - an oasis full of tropical greenery, our room - the Audrey Hepburn room on 1st floor with its stylish bathroom and a seating corner at the terrace, and above all Hakima and Hafid - our hosts who were so friendly and attentive. They expressed certain concern about negative comments on booking.com by some guests who expect this riad to be a luxury hotel. It is not. It is a small charming guest house with the intimacy of a family home. We liked it very much.

Miinukset: If you need absolute silence to sleep well the seagulls may wake you up a few times every night. This is not a fault of this propriety, simply a matter of fact in this location - and any other close to the sea shore.

Plussat: Helpful staff, pleasant room, nice breakfast.

Miinukset: Hard, very hard bed. Be prepared for sea gull noise; many stray cats for those who have allergies/adverse to cat odors.

Plussat: Very clean and perfect location - right in the heart of the medina. Nice sitting area with the Turquoise room.

Plussat: Attentive and helpful staff

Plussat: The personnel was very friendly and accommodating. The room was lovely and clean. It gave us a good impression of life in Essaouira.

Plussat: Absolutely great choice for the beautiful city of Essaouira. Very friendly staff, nice designed rooms and lobby. 5 min walk from the ocean.

Plussat: Fantastic hospitality; nothing was too much trouble. (Unseasonal heavy rain/total power cut. Someone sent to bus station to collect us and staff went out for pizzas/found us a bottle of wine) The riad itself is excellently located in the souk, though some people might find this intimidating. The very comfotable rooms are round a colonnaded courtyard. They are individually decorated and furnished and open onto private balconies. There is also a roof terrace with plunge pool. Great place. We'd go again.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Friendly staff and environment and good choice as we had a toddler.

Miinukset:

Plussat: We absolutely loved this riad. The couple who own it are lovely, our room (amethyste) was lovely and it's in a great location. The owner picked us up from the car park outside the medina gate, took us to the riad, sat us down and with a glass of mint tea and explained a map of essouira - they continued to be as helpful throughout the whole stay!

Miinukset:

Plussat: Everything was perfect. Situation, staff, room. Will recomend this Riad, no doubt!!!

Miinukset:

Plussat: The friendly staff, the taste in the design of the rooms, the quiet of the ryad.

Miinukset: I have found no disadvantages in this ryad. Perhaps the proximity to the loudspeakers of the mosque minaret closest, calling to prayer at about 5 am. Althought, for a many people, this could represent another charm of the ryad.

Plussat: Nice location, awesome views and nice staff

Miinukset: The room that was booked original was not what we thought it was going to look. We up graded to the view suite which was much better.

Plussat: Property finished at a very high standard! Great facilities and amazing breakfast with beautiful views over the sea. Highly recommendable!

Miinukset: Nothing to complain about :-)

Plussat: Everything perfect. Lovely Riad, wonderful people, beautifully furnished. Best view ever from the roof terrace

Plussat: Our room was lovely with incredible sea views and realy comfy chairs to watch them from. The bed linen was absolutely tops. The staff were all really friendly and helpful. The owner lives on site and is extremely welcoming. Having a kettle and tea/coffee making facility in your room, unusual I believe in a Riad. We also had a very nice evening meal at the Riad, which is done from time to time. Location was excellentllent we walked everywhere.

Miinukset: Leaving to go home.

Plussat: The location is amazing and all the staff are wonderful.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: This is a beautiful place with the best breakfast we had in Morocco. Ernest is a personable and welcoming host who looks forward to talking with the guests. The rooms are very comfortable. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Plussat: The Riad was beautiful with very comfortable beds and a wonderful Hamman. It was also right in an excellent spot in the Medina with sea views from the terrace. The staff and owner were all extremely helpful and welcoming and the breakfast on the roof terrace was delicious. I would recommend this Riad to anyone going to Essaouira

Miinukset: Nothing it was perfect.

Plussat: It suited me perfectly. Quiet, felt safe and felt the staff cared.

Plussat: Asuimme ylimmässä kerroksessa. Aamiainen tarjoiltiin muutaman askeleen päässä kattoterassilla, mikä oli miellyttävä kokemus. Marraskuussa kannattaa varautua lämpimin vaattein, koska kaupungilla tulee tuulisessa paikassa vilu, vaikka lämpöasteet onkin korkealla.

Plussat: It was such a lovely place that felt really homely and different to where I have ever stayed before. The staff were extremely friendly. Breakfast was amazing on the terrace and the rooms were lovely and clean with brilliant decor. Great location too! Wish we could have stayed longer!

Miinukset: It was very difficult to carry our cases up the stairs as there are so many stairs and no elevator. But it wouldn’t stop me from returning!

Plussat: The room, the location

Miinukset: Loved everything

Plussat: Lovely breakfast on the terrace with a 360° view over the surrounding houses - by clear sight even to the sea... everything fresh and homemade: juice, fruit salad, bread and cake. We felt very welcome from the help- and heartful staff and owner.

Plussat: The breakfest was a treat. Homemade jam, cakes and bread. The straff was Nice and careing.

Plussat: Nice hotel, welcoming staff, beautiful view of the ocean and city. The bath soaps and detergents were amazing

Miinukset: Our sheets has some stains as well as crumbs.

Plussat: Everything, staff, food, services, environment, everything is adorable!!

Plussat: The location was great, right in the medina. The staff was very nice and helpful, even print our boarding tickets without any additional charges.

Plussat: Great little place! Staff were so friendly and the location is perfect. We loved our stay!

Plussat: The hosts were really friendly and gave us heaps of tips on there to go and eat and explore. The rooms are really cute and the breakfast is really nice as well. Very well located and close to the beach and markets. Would definitely recommend

Plussat: This riad has charm, the room is nicey decorated, clean and bed is very comfortable. It is quite in the night, just hear birds from the sea. Owner is very nice lerson, helping a lot with all possible information and going all the time extra mile. I can not reccomend enough this place. Location is just perfect, near center and near to beach. And price is so good for this superb quality!

Plussat: Lovely room with traditional decor, amazing position close to the beach, restaurants, in the heart of the Medina. Staff was super helpful and gave us plenty of recommendations for restaurants and things to do. Breakfast was super tasty and homemade.

Plussat: The hotel owner was very friendly and very helpful. Nice room and nice breakfast as well!

Plussat: The staff was great! They really helped me to plan my trip. The location was fantastic, I walked to the beach everyday and watched the sunsets from the ramparts.

Plussat: The owner Philippe and the staff were simply wonderful. The Dar is located right in the middle of the medina but was amazingly quiet. The room was spacious and comfortable. The terrace was simply amazing and offered a great view of the medina and the clock tower. Philippe took time to share about things to do and gave some great recommendations for sightseeing and food. Waafa and Soukaina were always responsive and very helpful for all my questions via email before the visit. A big thank you!

Miinukset: The coffee for breakfast was not very good and few cups were slightly chipped.

Plussat: The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and the location was fantastic for seeing the town. There is a lovely terrace and breakfast was good!

Miinukset: The room wasnt huge and there were limited plug sockets but the whole place was very nicely finished and clean. The room was comfortable.

Plussat: Very friendly, very good breakfast and the room was clean and comfortable.

Plussat: It's a very nice and quiet, even though it's in the Medina. The directions they gave us before coming made it easy to find the hotel. Everything was very clean, both the rooms and the bathroom which was shared between only 2 rooms - so very comfortable and with almost no queue. Is very tranquil, even though the hotel was full, we've never felt like it was busy or crowded. The room was very cozy, with beds and some shelves, what surprised us is that the lady cleaned it everyday, too! The staff was very nice and helpful. So if you're looking for a quiet hotel to relax and feel like you're at your own home while still being close to the ocean and in the city center - that's the one for you (:

Plussat: The stuff was great! They helped us a lot (printed out our tickets, gave some hot water when we asked).

Miinukset: Even though the room seemed to be nice, both me and my friend slept not very good (either because of the bed or because of the noise from the outside).

Plussat: The location was great and place was cozy and clean. I loved the room!

Miinukset: The check-in time could be until later. It’s is until 8pm and we almost missed it.

Plussat: Amazing riad, everything during our stay made us feel like home, even if it was for one night. We were sad we couldn't stay longer. Owner Abas is very helpful, always available on whatsapp, and there to answer all of your needs and questions, he even helped us with our bus tickets information by calling CTM, absolutely nothing bad to say about anything. If there is somebody who says something bad about this riad, then for them 5* hotel is the only option. Breakfast is fantastic. Wifi stable and fast. Mint tea for welcome.

Miinukset: Nothing, everything was perfect.

Plussat: Ousama helped us with everything we needed!

Miinukset: The room was very humid because of the open bathroom.

Plussat: Location was nice.

Miinukset: The staf was not helpful - we had special requests regarding our religious and they didn't help us with it. We had no window in the room, it was hat to breath the air was compressed and moldy. we asked few times to get another room and they denyed our request, although they had free rooms. The breakfast was very lame and not worth the money. They took the taxes fees in the check in and ask again in the check out and we needed to prove them we already paid. Highly recommended NOT to stay there.

Plussat: We had a wonderful time at Dar Latigeo! The location is perfect, as it is located in a side alley next to the main street. Everything is in walking distance. The place itself had a very nice atmosphere and when we arrived we got a nice mint tea and the room was ready even tough the check in time was a few hours later. The room looked also very nice, clean and was well decorated. You share the bathroom with the other room on the same floor, which was not a problem for us because everything was really clean. Abbess, our host, is very kind and helped us a lot during our stay. We wanted to go horse riding and he introduced us to an amazing stable in which the horses were perfectly taken care of. Even after we left, he cared for our well-being and contacted us if we arrived safely back to Marrakech. All the contact with him was very easy as he speaks English very well and also respond very quickly to our messages. Also, if you stay at Dar Latigeo - make sure to order the breakfast! It was one of the best breakfast we had during our time in Morocco. You had a lot of things to choose from, freshly squeezed orange juice, coffee, yoghurt with fruit and muesli, bread, etc. We read in the hotel information that it was not allowed to store luggage at the hotel, but on the day we left we were allowed to leave our luggage at Dar Latigeo because it took some time before our bus would leave to Marrakech. This way, we could explore the city again in the meantime without our suitcases. Just to conclude, we are thinking back with only positive thoughts about our stay in Essaouira and we hope to be able to go back!

Plussat: Very helpful staff and tasty breakfast. Nice and clean rooms.

Plussat: This was the best place of our morocco trip! A nice and comfortable room. The bathroom is shared with only one other room and was always clean. Very friendly hosts, no problem to store our luggage the last day and a really good breakfast. The place was easy to find, Dar Latigeo's description was very useful.

Miinukset: Nothing. We really had nothing to complain!

Plussat: This spot is perfect! It is bright and inviting and the location can’t be beat. Super close to everything. The breakfast is a little extra but totally worth it. I would stay here again for sure! Loved it!

Plussat: A little gem. Excellent location, right in the heart of the medina but on a quiet cul-de-sac. Perfect base for exploring beautiful Essaouira. Rooms are large and comfortable with lovely oriental touches. The landlady is lovely and helpful. No hesitation booking it again when I go back.

Miinukset: No problems. It is not a luxurious hotel with all the services, but one comes to Essaouira for the city not for all-in-package sea side resort. My bathroom was outside the room.

Plussat: we had an amazing stay in dar latigeo. adeline was extremely friendly and was very helpfull with any questions we had. the rooms are nice and the (shared) bathroom is very clean. beisdes that, essaouira is a lovely city and dar latigeo is right in the middle of it.

Plussat: The french lady whom i can´t remember the name is such a good hostess!! Really cool ambient , even that by the door you can´t have the real idea of the neat ambient you are gonna find inside. Usual in marroquian lodgements.Really worthless!

Plussat: The beautiful bedroom.

Plussat: Excellent, friendly welcome to a fine, small, boutique hotel by new owner Adeline - nothing was too much trouble. Hotel very central, so better than two other hotels I have stayed in in Essaouira before and extremely good value indeed. Copious, varied breakfast - open to suggestions/ requests. Own keys so free to come and go. Could not fault the hotel or any aspect of its running at all and I shall certainly come agazin whenever I come here again, and, as it is a favopurite spot, that may be in a couple of months. Highly recommended. Thanks to Booking.com for finding it for me.

Miinukset: Everything was absolutely fine. No possible reason to dislike anything, let alone complain.

Plussat: very nice, fresh, clean.. feels like home.. very friendly and helpful staff.. excellent location..

Miinukset:

Plussat: The owners couldn't have been more helpful and kind. The room was gorgeous, quiet, airy, the breakfast delicious and we really were made to feel welcome. They made our stay special.

Miinukset: They could have given us a key for the outside door so that they didn't have to open it for us each time we returned to the hotel.

Plussat: I loved the room, the bathtub, the hotel, and the architecture of the entire building. Really made the stay enjoyable. The breakfast was amazing and you can eat it on the terrace if youd like. It was included within our booking.

Miinukset: We loved everything

Plussat: The room was the most beautiful hotel room I've ever seen. It was just like living in a palace! Everything was clean and well-maintained, though some parts of the decor seem old, so it makes the vibe of the room even better.

Miinukset: The breakfast was quite simple, even with comparison with much more 'simpler' Moroccan riads.

Plussat: Six friends had three rooms booked in this gorgeous Riad. All all rooms were absolutely stunning and had many different features making each room unique. Bed was very comfortable and the bath is big enough for young children to swim in it! Fantastic value for money and the perfect location for the beach.

Miinukset: All six of our group arrived back to the Riad after the local night club closed and the front doors were shut. It took a phone call to the Riad for a staff member to finally open the door after 10 minutes knocking. My friend who speaks Arabic and French spoke to staff the next day and we did not have a problem returning back at the same time the following evening.

Plussat: Paikka oli todella kaunis, siisti ja erittäin viihtyisä. Aamiainen oli kattava ja tarjoiltiin ripeästi kun saavuimme ylös odottamaan. Henkilökunta oli iloista ja auttavaista. Huone oli myös kauniisti sisustettu. Todella lämminhenkinen paikka.

Miinukset: Riadin keskiaukossa oli ainakin vielä muovi peittona mikä teki sisäilmasta aika kasvihuonemaisen. Me toki olimme suurimman osan ajasta auringossa yläterassilla, mutta jos muovi on paikoillaan kesäkuumallakin niin voi olla melkoisen paksu ilma sisällä. Huoneen ilman saa kyllä viileäksi ilmalämpöpumpulla. Hieronta ei ollut ihan sellaista mitä odotettiin ja hierontahuoneessa oli ikkuna auki mistä kuului häiritsevästi liikenteen meteli.

Plussat: Fantastic value for money, comfortable beds, great breakfast and lovely roof terrace - will definitely return

Plussat: Large traditional rooms

Miinukset: Staff a bit grumpy

Plussat: I have stayed in many hotels all over the world and I can honestly say this room was one of the most beautiful rooms iv ever stayed in. The whole building is incredible. Amazing views from roof terrace where we got a lovelly breakfast. Go here!!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Architecture, Room design, location near to everything, calm, artisanal design at the bathrooms

Miinukset: breakfast quality, rooftop design

Plussat: Great location, amazing rooms, lovely staff, very clean... great breakfast on the roof top..

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Stunning Riad in perfect location. 2 minutes walk from parking at the Port. Just inside the old Medina walls. Beautifully decorated, real wow factor to the bedrooms & communal courtyard. Staff very friendly & helpful. Breakfast continental style, well presented and very tasty. Cannot fault, excellent value for money.

Plussat: Perfect location, close to the beach, located in old town. Amazing breakfast on the top on roof with view on ocean. Hotel has lovely architecture. Staff is very kind. Room was big with biggest bath I ever seen.

Plussat: Location, breakfast and staff were good.

Plussat: Beautiful Moroccan house with a lovely courtyard. Very welcoming staff.

Miinukset: Nothing :)

Plussat: Riadin sijainti oli todella hyvä. Huoneemme oli siisti ja sängyt mukavat. Wifi-yhteys toimi hyvin. Henkilökunta oli ystävällinen.

Miinukset: Portaat yläkerroksiin olivat hieman jyrkät ja kapeat. Itseäni se ei haitannut. Huoneessa ei ollut tallelokeroa.

Plussat: The location.

Miinukset: Okay, I don't normally like to give negative reviews but I don't know how this riad got 9.1/10, especially after our last stay in Marrakech that left the standards very high for the same price per night. First the staff wasn't welcoming at all, the lady at the reception just showed us the room (which wasn't the one from the pictures) and didn't even give us the wifi pass, let alone tell us something about the surroundings. Everywhere in the property there was a bit of a damp unpleasant smell, I don't know if it is because of the ocean but we didn't like it. Now about the room. We didn't get the Djena room from the photos, we got a room on the top floor. The smell inside there was also unpleasant. The bed was quite uncomfortable. The bathroom was OK but there is a big problem with the water flow, as there was almost no pressure in the shower and whenever someone else used the tap the water almost stopped. I don't know if we got all that only because we booked just a single night but still it didn't meet our expectations.

Plussat: It was a nice Riad, beautiful and confortable.

Miinukset: It was not easy at the begining to find it out.

Plussat: Great location, friendly staff, great service

Plussat: A very pleasant riad with friendly staff and I had a very comfortable room. The riad has been restored very attractively. Wifi was fine. The terrace is almost worth booking for in its own right. Wouldn't hesitate to come back.

Plussat: We liked this road a lot - the decor, location, hosts, everything about it was just perfect for a short break in Essaouira and highly recommend it.

Miinukset: We liked everything.

Miinukset: Uncomfortable beds Showers not working properly Rooms up many steep steps

Plussat: Everything was fine. Breakfast was great, the bed very confortable. The owners were very kind. I also love the terrace and the view. Recommended

Plussat: Friendly staff in a quiet part of town. Very close to a nice small square with great food.

Miinukset: Quite a loud Riad with being woken up a few times in the night.

Plussat: Beautiful appartment with gorgeous beds, fantastic location, excellent service and lovely breakfast (we stayed in the loft). Beautiful, quiet roof terrace. Staff couldn’t do enough to help. Perfect peaceful spot to enjoy a luxury escape in brilliant Essaura.

Miinukset: The kitchen had a hob, kettle and sink but no fridge, pans, crockery, knives and forks or any thing else.....wasn’t a problem for us because we ate out but might be irritating for others. Probably not suitable for mobility impaired or children under 5 because of open staircases.

Plussat: The view was incredible! The terrace was breathtaking, and the tub was the size of a swimming pool! The staff was exceptional! The location was perfect-at the center of everything but away from the noise! The breakfast was made to order (and included eggs)! The restaurant downstairs was to die for! I have nothing to say but that I will book again in a heartbeat.

Plussat: The location is good. It is easy to find as it is located right next to the Medina wall at the entrance near the port. It has a very nice view from the shared terrace. The kitchen staff was nice and provided a nice welcome tea and breakfast on our terrace in the morning. The bellman on the day we departed (who actually doesn't work for the Riad), was delightful and helped bring all our luggage down while my husband retrieved the car outside of the Medina. Unfortunately, I didn't have any money on me to tip him and he was so gracious. When I got to the car, my husband gave me money and I walked back to the Medina to tip the man. He told me it was entirely unnecessary. Real service.

Miinukset: We selected the Mogador Suite, expensive by Moroccan standards. Not a luxury experience. It was standard at best. The a/c didn't work in the room and it was extremely hot. We were unable to sleep. There is a terrace, but the view is obstructed by pillars. There is a bathtub, but it is too large to fill with hot water due to its size and the small capacity of the water heater. The decor of the property is very disappointing. It is looks tired, dusty and sad. It is not at all inviting. The property is located on top of another Riad and up two steep flights of stairs. When we arrived, the man in the lobby told me that the bellman had left. We arrived about 6:00 p.m. There was no possible way I could have carried the luggage up to the hotel alone. My husband had to go park the car, as there is NO hotel parking, only public parking and the closest parking was full. The elderly man who brought our luggage in his cart carried half my luggage up the stairs and then the other man finally (out of pure shame) took the rest of the luggage up. The worst part of the stay, was the terrible service and sour faces of the front office staff. It was like the three stooges. The suite was boiling hot. They should have turned on the a/c in anticipation of the arrival (like every other property we have stayed at in Morocco ). The woman turned on the a/c, but NO cold air. She kept insisting that there was cold air coming out, but there was not. She pretended not to understand my French/English. When my husband arrived, he spoke to her and she said she would call for a technician. No technician. ever came. When we came back from dinner, there was nobody there. The a/c was not working. No fan. No offer to stay in another room. No note. Nobody there at all. In the morning. More sour faces. They offered a 20% discount. I didn't need a discount. We needed a/c. We needed good service.

Miinukset: It has seen better days. It was tired, (cracked mirrors, peeling paint, stained lavatory seat) and the beds were incredibly uncomfortable.

Plussat: It was easy to walk to from the public car park

Miinukset: It looked directly over the public car park and was in need of pretty urgent and extensive refurbishment. The entrance is up a grubby stairwell off a public baths and the hotel was well past its prime. WiFi was hopeless. The beds were appallingly uncomfortable and like sleeping on bare boards. It was like a shabby guesthouse rather than a comfortable hotel.

Plussat: The room was really nice and clean. They also have an amazing Restaurant (Table Madada) where you can have am amazing dinner. All the staff was really friendly, I‘d come back.

Miinukset: The bed is quite hard.

Plussat: Amazing location, lovely sun terrace, even least expensive rooms are very tasteful and spacious. Delicious breakfast served as late as 12 so you really can have a lazy morning! Would come again.

Plussat: Location- close to the beach , pool, view from the roof, view from the restaurant.

Miinukset: We extended our stay, but had to change rooms, unfortunately Television didn’t work in the second room. The restaurant at the top was very good, but a bit expensive

Plussat: Very nice Ryad with beautiful pool and nice rooms.

Miinukset: The WiFi was a little spotty but still manageable.

Plussat: This place was service plus. Staff excellent, food was the best in 2 weeks so delicious. I would recommend you eat at restaurants even if not staying at hotel, it was really good food and service. Yum yum yum.

Miinukset: Couldn't fault it.

Plussat: Friendly staff, comfortable beds and lovely decor

Plussat: The owners were super attentive hosts and the Riad has a wonderful atmosphere. Tapas, pool and breakfasts pretty awesome too!

Plussat: The couple that owns the Riad are WONDERFUL! The Riad itself is an oasis and the owners are just lovely and inviting. The place feels like home away from home. I highly recommend it!

Plussat: Really kind staff!

Plussat: staff and restaurant

Plussat: The pool area and restaurant areas were lovely.

Miinukset: No toiletries except soap in bathroom.

Plussat: Amazing fish restaurant. Staff always on hand. Close to the beach.

Miinukset: Could hear neighbours in the bathroom.

Plussat: Everything, nice rooms and decor, very comfortable beds. Chill out and roof terrace areas. Good breakfast - best coffee in Morocco. Very clean. Ideally located just inside the Medina off the main square. The best thing of all was the staff, they are exceptionally friendly and helpful, absolutely lovely

Miinukset: Unfortunately there was a music festival on in the square so it was very noisy until early hours of the morning, but obviously this isn’t a fault of the Riad

Plussat: The staff are amazingly friendly and extremely helpful. Close to everything in and around the Medina, beach and port.

Miinukset: The only downfall of this property is the close proximity to the nightclub. Can get really loud but earplugs will sort this out

Plussat: Ystävällinen henkilökunta. Siisti ja hyvällä paikalla oleva majoituspaikka. Aamukaffet sai kattoterassilla - mahtava!

Miinukset: Pidin kaikesta:)

Plussat: - breakfast on the very very nice rooftop terrace - very friendly and forthcoming staff - very centrally located

Plussat: The staff are really nice and helpful. The place is clean. The room size is very good.

Miinukset: M as Mattress is really old, bedlinen washed till full of cotton balls, pillows are lumpy.

Plussat: Staff was great and super friendly. Location is excellent.

Miinukset: A little nosy.

Plussat: The staff of this Riad was very helpful and gave excellent service. They made dinner reservations and arranged for a car rental seamlessly. They have nice rooftop terrace where we had breakfast. The staff brought breakfast up many narrow flights of stairs to make this possible. They were always cheerful and kind.

Miinukset: The location of this riad is very problematic. They are right next to a night club with live music which goes until 1:00 am on some nights and 2:00 am others. The music is deafeningly loud in the rooms. This was a topic of conversation among all the guests. Some resorted to earplugs to get a night's sleep. Other's sang along to the covers of American music because you could hear all the lyrics clearly in the rooms. The other issue we had is that the furnishings are tired. The sheets are coarse and scratchy, the towels threadbare, the mattresses lumpy. The owners need to invest in upgrading the place.

Plussat: Breakfast, roof terrace, personnel, decoration

Miinukset: We got transferred to another room which was a bit smaller than the previous one. Nevertheless we could stay for another night without booking previously, which was very nice!

Plussat: Friendly, honest staff. Comfortable bed and pillows.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Breakfast was awesome and just lovely to take on the roof terrace. The staff were absolutely fantastic and friendly and accommodating. They gave us lots of tips on where to go for dinner etc. and were generally very helpful and nice.

Miinukset: Walls were a little thin to the house next door, and there is quite a bit of wind noise (Essaouira is VERY windy). Also having to deal with the 'Medina' smell in the bathroom (leave the plugs in at ALL times!) was a bit of a nuisance at first, but we got used to it. It is a 1000 year old city after all...

Plussat: The breakfast is good. The riad has good location right on the Medina.

Miinukset: We had 2 rooms, one family suite and one double room. Some of us changed riad after the first night. I guess not all rooms have this problem but in our room we had havey mold smell, the bed covers where moist and generally the room smelled bad. The carpet was old and smelly and the towels were old and looked dirty. When we talked to the manager she rejected all our claims about cleanningness by saying this is Essaouira wheater and there is nothing she can do and that the room is clean. Having said that, she did send two workers to clean the room with soap, brought new towels and spread perfume and candles around but I was not there anymore as two of us switched to a different riad.(we were 6ppl) Also, on a side note, I live by the ocean in a very humid city but I don't have mold in my house and we moved to a riad which is closer to the sea and also, not new but didn't had any problems. We slept in old riads during our whole trip.

Plussat: Location convenient if u want to b in heart of medina.

Miinukset: Overprced for tired place, needs major cleaning, upgrade. Sitting room nothing like the online photo, uncomfortable. Poor lighting in bedroom. Did not feel welcomed as guest.. Rashida check in person was the only somewhat kind staff. Others rude one male Rashid, argumentative, wanted to make me wrong. Inflexible about check out. Cook staff unhelpful for limited breakfast, heavy on bread. Yogurt not avail. 2nd day.

Plussat: Great location for town centre but quiet. Staff super friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: WiFi not great

Plussat: Staff were so helpful, Riad is right in the middle of the Medina which is bustling, but inside is quiet and tranquil. Breakfast on roof top was great.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The guy in the reception at night was really nice and friendly. The room was really nice, and was nicely set for us.

Miinukset: When we arrive the people next to us were offered tea and cookies and we weren't. Most important for us is that we booked a room with a terrace, and we expected a real terrace.

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: I don't know why the place garnered so good reviews. We stayed here for a night and was relieved it's nothing more. Firstly, the place was not clean, the sheets were damp most of the time, the rooms are dusty and the floors are dirty. Secondly, the ground staff do not really speak very good English and that makes communication tough. Thirdly, their service was not forth coming nor were the staff welcoming. We will definitely not return to this riad.

Plussat: Great staff. Lovely place with love for details.

Miinukset: Shower hand has passed its prime. As in many riads you can here a lot.

Plussat: Stunning location with breakfast on charming terrace with great views over harbour area and beach in distance. Exceptional breakfast that was beautifully presented with local fresh food. Could not fault it.

Miinukset: Genuinely cannot think of any improvements

Plussat: Great location near the entrance of the medina with views of the ocean, harbour & promenade. The staff were very helpful. Fatima who organised breakfast is very passionate with the guests & has been a part of Villa Maroc for 29 years. We booked the suite & it was very spacious.

Miinukset: If you are not good at climbing numerous flights of stairs this is not the place for you. We also had to wear ear plugs as a neighbouring terrace bar night club across the way kept us awake with live music & dj.

Plussat: We loved EVERYTHING - the Moroccan Decor is stunning,

Miinukset: Absolutely NOTHING!

Plussat: Beautiful property, superb food and overall very charming. Each room is unique and there is a lot of attention to detail. Excellent location as well. Fatima has been there for 25 years, she’s outstanding and did a great job of making us feel at home

Miinukset: Black out curtains on the terrace level would be appreciated. Also if there is a way to better insulate the rooms from the loud morning prayers at 6am, that would great!

Plussat: Location superb, view from rooftop terrace great, used for breakfast and lounging areas

Miinukset: I am 80. The steep spiral stone stairs were a haul and unavoidable and never less than 30 at any time. So this is a warning to anyone with difficulty. I did manage them.

Plussat: It was beautiful It was great location

Miinukset: It didn't feel homey or comfortable. It was too noisy The room didn't have a phone

Plussat: A truly beautiful hotel, Furnishings, decoration understated lovely Morrocan. Gorgeous setting for breakfast, super friendly staff. Perfect location. This may be the prettiest hotel I've ever been in. Cozy fires in the fireplace! Vases of roses everywhere...

Plussat: Great location. Hotel is wonderful. Very charming. Many little public rooms where you can hang out. Excellent service from Fatima. She’s been at the property for over a decade and went out of her way to help us out. If you’re staying here, definitely check out the Jardin property. Beautiful pool, amazing lunch.
