Essaouira hotellit lähellä Mohammed Ben Abdallah Museum

Plussat: Breakfast was extremely good with delicious fresh orange juice and French pastries. The coffee was also good The staff were all delightful - very responsive and extremely polite. The garden is very pretty and there are lots of sunny spots to sit in and the terrace was perfect for watching the sunsets. We also enjoyed using the swimming pool.

Miinukset: The pool could have been a bit warmer but this was early March!

Plussat: Best receptionist guy ever!

Plussat: Staff were very helpful

Miinukset: Loved the resort

Plussat: The traditonal Moroccon decor is superb. More then beautiful. The atmosfeer when i stepped in reminded me at The Taj Mahal in India. Of course smaller and more cozy. The staff and owner is super friendly and proffesional. While checking in they served us a nice mint tea on the house. The rooms will bring you back in the time of eastern fairytales. They are spacious, clean and well equipped. The house keeping cleaned our room every day as new. The Pool area is super nice and privat. There are good beds with standard towels and a nice had. The garden you really can enjoy with several seating areas. The breakfast is amazing and you get served at the table by the excellent staff. All and all i would recommend this hotel to everybody who wants to have the old moroccon style experience.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Flowers in the room with a fruit basket, beautiful decorations, wonderful breakfasts.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Lovely property, breakfast was adequate, location of property was excellent, small but beautiful garden with pool. We have good sized inter connecting rooms as family. Staff were excellent and very helpful.

Miinukset: Nothing of note but if pool is heated, it would encourage having a dip in the pool.

Plussat: Everything, the welcome, the staff, the decor, the roses, the bowl of fruit, the breakfast, the gardens, the pool, the tranquility

Miinukset: Our bathroom was down some very steep stairs, it was beautiful and enormous but too steep for us oldies

Plussat: Perfect room, good service, good food and beautiful house and garden. We come back

Plussat: Beautifully decorated with lots of seating areas. Big comfortable bed with good linen. Plentiful breakfast served until 11am. Very pleasant staff. Gardens very well kept with lots of seating areas. It was our anniversary and they very kindly gave us a bottle of wine and bowl of fruit, also had rose petals on the bed.

Miinukset: House keeping needs to be improved,back of the toilet door was dirty, this was pointed out to the manager several times. It never was cleaned. Paintwork needs a spruce up and the woodwork in the bathroom was grubby. The shower tray was badly cracked and needs replacing. E,extrications points were loose in the wall and it was arbitrary if they would work. Tea and coffee wasn’t replaced unless asked and as there isn’t a phone in the room ,it was annoying to have to run up and down the stairs to ask for it.

Plussat: Very helpful and diligent staffs, Wafaa and Soukaina were super friendly and knew everything we needed in Essaouira. I can suggest this Riad to everyone in the world. Thank you so much.

Miinukset: There was just a shower gel which had an unfamiliar odor like cucumber, so I believe that the guests would be happy if there were a solid soap and a shampoo.

Plussat: Location Easy to find Staff amazingly friendly Breakfast The room

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Friendly owners and staff, great communication on WhatsApp before we arrived and helped us during our stay. Great dinner recommendations too. Cosy room, comfortable bed, great shower. We loved reading on the roof terrace too. Perfect central location, within walking distance of lots of restaurants and the Médina.

Miinukset: Very minor, it would be great to have some fruit or eggs at breakfast. Other than that we loved our stay here!

Plussat: Spotlessly clean, genuinely friendly, good breakfast. Absolutely lovely place to stay! The owners, Philippe & Chloe, and all staff are genuinely friendly & caring. We were greeted with fresh mint tea upon arrival :) Comfy and spotlessly clean rooms & bathrooms. Perfect location for meandering through the medina. Can't reccommend Dar El Paco enough!! :)

Miinukset: Nothing to not like!

Plussat: Breakfast was delicious Super friendly staff Very clean

Plussat: The staff were friendly, professional and very helpful. The riad is a 500 year old building with nice ambiance and a private bathroom with each room. Located in an easy-to-reach location in the medina. Breakfast was included. It was made on the premises and served in a pleasant room on the second floor. The showers were hot and the water pressure good. Good value . I would recommend it! (I also highly recommend going for a hammam and massage right next door. The riad can book it for you. Fabulous!)

Miinukset: I found the pillows a little hard for my liking, but it would not stop me from staying here again.

Plussat: The staff was super helpful and started engaging on whatsapp immediately after the booking. They were will prepared for our arrival. The property is located in the medina and is easy to locate using map.me. We stayed in the Touareg room and liked it. They had hot water, plenty of blankets and hair dryer. The breakfast spread was excellent. The staff showed us the best places to visit in Essaouira. The restaurant recommendation of 'Adwak' was excellent made for a worthy last meal we had in Morocco.

Miinukset: The reception closes at 7pm and any arrivals after that has a surcharge for EUR 5. Not sure for the reason of the surcharge, but I feel paying an additional 15-16% of accommodation price is a hidden fee that you know only after making the booking (which was non-refundable in our case). Also, if you like sleeping late, avoid the room that's on the same floor as breakfast (Atlas if I am not mistaken). Depending on the guests in the house (small kids during our stay) this floor is quite noisy.

Plussat: Stunning bedroom - felt like a palace. The staff were fantastic and went above and beyond to help us. Really great location - right on the beach. Excellent view from the terrace.

Plussat: Perfect location, beauuuutiful riad. The bed was very comfy. So spacious. Loved (definitely used) the tub. (Wish they left proper bubble bath for it, rather than the shower gel, which quickly fell flat). Plenty of conveniently located electrical outlets. And did I mention how gorgeous the place was???

Miinukset: Some extras along the lines of what I received in other hotels of this price category, like tea on arrival and bottles of water in my room, would have been appreciated. The wifi wasn't the worst of my entire trip, but it was definitely in the bottom 3. It caused a lot of frustrations for getting my work done, although the ample desk in the room was the perfect space for it. The hammam (basic) experience was the most thorough scrub of my 3 hammam experiences, but overall I felt like I got a lot less out of it than the others. No mask after the scrub. Hair wasn't even combed out after washing (was glad I was in the hotel already). No tea or water afterwards. No massaging at all. Etc. Just left to sit after until it got awkward and I left on my own.

Plussat: The girl which met us on the day was very kind, unfortunately she was the only helpful person and the guy on the breakfast was very smily and tried to help as much as they could. The position of the hotel was good. We have booked initially another hotel but decided to feel the experience staying in a typical morrocan place, bit of dissapointment. Can’t say it was dirty, but think they could’ve made more efforts to keep it better condition

Miinukset: The breakfast is very poor, it doesn’t gives any options for people with gluten and milk allergies. Asked for some fruits and for 3 days stay they just gave me only once, because as what they said - they don’t do fruits. The bedsheets was all in spots, they smelled as washed but the spots were very visible. The roof was leaking and all the hallway next to the reception was every morning full of water - we just had the bad luck to get a rainy weather. There was no any sign of showing that is wet and hazardous so you can be careful. I slipped and happily didn’t fell over. Due to the cold weather in the room was freezingly cold, as the door didn’t close properly and the wind was blowing from under. It seemed to have air conditioning system but totally not working - all the time has showing error. We called 2 times for a technician. The first night came at 22:30 fixed it and it worked for 30 mins, after that the guy wasn’t easy to be found. Next day we said it is cold they promised they will send somebody, and they didn’t. So it was a bit of disappointment from the receptionist behaviour like she did not cared.

Plussat: Large comfortable room Adequate lighting Good breakfast

Miinukset: Little to no exhaust in bathroom Key was very difficult to use (stuck)

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: An extremely beautiful place with very fine traditional Moroccan decoration everywhere. All the staff too are wonderful and extremely helpful.

Miinukset: The rooms on the street are a bit noisy because every evening people outside sit under the windows and seem to shout over their phones for hours at a time. Also the main entrance to the first floor is a massive door that slams shut every time someone enters or exits So it is not really a very peaceful place to stay. The breakfast was also very poor. Unless you like to eat mostly things full of refined sugar and flour, there is almost nothing to eat. All quite unhealthy food. I had better breakfasts at all the other places I stayed in Morocco which were half the price of this hotel. So this was really disappointing.

Plussat: Palvelu, kauneus ja tilaa oli riittävästi.

Miinukset: Terassiin olisi voitu panostaa vähän. Hammam oli keskinkertaista.

Plussat: Everything. Especially decoration!!!

Miinukset: The air condition in the room didn't work and we asked to fix it but nobody did anything. Hopefully, we stayed in January and there were no windows( otherwise we got cold) in the room so we slept in rather comfortable temperature.

Plussat: The rooms make you feel like a royalty. Architecture and design where exceptional.

Miinukset: A lot of noice in the morning

Plussat: Hyvä aamiainen ja erinomaista iltaruokaa katon ravintolassa. Sijainti rannalla on hyvä ja hotellista on helppo kävelymatka Medinaan. Huone oli mukava, hiljainen ja siisti.

Plussat: The staff and owners were wonderful. Friendly and very helpful during this exceptionally difficult time. Lovely pool Lovely food and seafood.

Plussat: Good location., just a 15 minute walk from medina. Pool is useful since Essaouira is rather windy place. There is alcohol in restaurant and food is really good.

Plussat: The staff were incredible. I fell quite ill during my stay and they arranged a private doctor to visit my room and stood by my side while I was treated. They were genuine people who were genuinely concerned for me. Amazing.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: The best part it to provide free parking on-site in quite area, but it need 10-15 mins walking to the medina location.

Plussat: The owners and staff were fabulous. Will definitely recommend to friends and family. A wonderful place to relax.

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: lovely house and very friendly owners

Plussat: Well located for kitesurfing!

Plussat: The staff were extremely friendly, and we went with our 20 month old child and couldn't have picked a better place for that. Very child friendly. Also very relaxed atmosphere, especially in the evening when enjoying a nice meal and lovely Moroccan wine.

Miinukset: These are very minor points compared with the overal excellence. Breakfast was good but a bit carb based, and the pool was colder than ideal.

Plussat: Quiet and nice pool (with turtles!)

Plussat: A very nice Riad with a beautifully laid out reception area. Central staircase, plants, paintings etc. Very large rooms that were clean & well kept. The pool was a decent size & all the more interesting because of the resident two turtles & eight or so tortoises that patrolled the surrounding area. Adequate breakfasts (continental) although slightly heavy on the bread side! The riad is about a 15-20 minute stroll along the sea front to the medina. Very pleasant as this allows your dinner to settle on the return plus you have a quiet night. A lovely place to stay!

Miinukset: The water supply to the shower was patchy in late afternoon but having said that new water tanks were installed while we were there. The approach road/alley to the Riad leaves something to be desired but then again that's Morocco for you!

Plussat: very good overall. swimming pool with turtles, nice breakfast and dinner with a bar. very close to sea

Plussat: We found the staff and owners of this Riad to be most helpfull, friendly and welcoming. The facillities were good and the location close to the beach and within easy walk of the old town excellent. This small family run hotel offers a calm and relaxing experience.

Miinukset: The only area of comment would be we found the beds to be "firmer" as in hard, when compared with those found in European hotels, but probably this reflects the very "local" nature of the hotel.

Plussat: Stayed in Riad Zahra for a week last week! Couldnt fault this place at all! Was amazing! Welcomed by friedndly staff members, who were extremely helpful and also spoke good english! Riad was at the end of the beach, about a 20 minute walk from the medina, which we found very nice in the evening to walk off diner and a nice break from being in the busy medina! Room was very comfy, breakfast in the morning was good, continental - bread, pain au chocolate, fresh orange and coffee!! Swimming pool was much appreciated a nice break from the midday sun! Would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone thinking of visiting!!

Miinukset: No!

Plussat: Swimming Pool and location of the hotel

Miinukset: The room was dense and the bed was extremely hard

Plussat: The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. The facitlities were great and the breakfasts and evening meals were excellent.

Plussat: Property and rooms were quite nice. But started to get old.

Miinukset: Breakfast could be better. All was cold, toast, bread etc. But a lot of food anyway

Plussat: Upea tunnelma vanhassa talossa. Mahtava sijainti.

Miinukset: Ei mitään moitittavaa.

Plussat: Best view over Looking the ocean. Thank you.

Miinukset: Fot the money we paid everything was ok.

Plussat: The view is the reason we have and will return here. You can't find another one like it, but you have to stay in one of the suites to really enjoy it. The breakfast room and terrace have the most amazing view in all of Essaouira. The elevator is a rare commodity in Essaouira.

Miinukset: The hotel is a little tired (beautiful building but due for an update). We keep returning because of the inimitable view. I wouldn't stay here again in a standard room. Also, in room coffee facilities would be a nice addition for the suite.

Plussat: The view of the ocean from the room was amazing. The rose petals on the bed, around the bedroom and the bathroom were a beautiful touch. The staff were very friendly and attentive. I loved the decor of the Riad and the room was one if the most visually beautiful I have ever stayed in.

Miinukset: Some handyman work going on so at times during the day a little annoying

Plussat: The view was amazing

Miinukset: Everything was ok

Plussat: The sea view was magnificent.

Miinukset: No alcohol exists in the hotel. If you want some wine with your dinner you have to bring your own. We

Plussat: Excellent staff,very helpful and courteous. Stayed in a sea view suite overlooking the Atlantic. Felt like sleeping on the beach.Magnificent hotel.

Plussat: A wonderful place on earth. We enjoyed every minute in our room - with the view, wind and waves - and also the interior of the whole hotel - and the roof terrasse - and the friendly staff.

Plussat: Excellent location.

Plussat: Great location and fantastic views. Staff were very friendly and the breakfast was very good.

Miinukset: The receptionist enquired about activities we might be interested in, we mentioned horse riding and she was very insistent about booking it for us. I'd say she is on commission. Anyway it turns out the ranch they use is Diabat, which we read some bad reviews about and the reviews are true...the horses are skittish and jumpy and I wouldn't recommend doing horse riding through the hotel.

Plussat: We had a room with a double aspect sea view which was fantastic. The restaurant is on the roof so there are spectacular sea views for you to admire while you are having breakfast. The location is perfect.

Miinukset: The outside roof terrace was very mucky. I can see that the seagulls are a big problem but if the area was cleaned up it would be great to sit out there as the views are great.

Plussat: The hotel is in an extraordinary position by the sea, and the room we had was like being in a ship on the high seas. We were surrounded by rocks and crashing waves. The wind and sea were quite noisy although it didn't disturb our sleep. The staff were very helpful and pleasant.

Miinukset: The breakfasts were ok but we had better breakfasts in other places in Morocco

Plussat: The view from our room was the most breathtaking seaside view I have ever seen. It was like being at sea. The staff was incredibly nice, helpful, and solicitous.

Plussat: Located absolutely in incredible place- directly on the ocean coast...Very romantic, nice staff, friendly and helpful...

Miinukset: Yes coz the cleaning women was stolen my money when I was out from the room. She was stollen 40 euro from my pocket but probably it's my fault - to leave money in the room.

Plussat: The receptionist is very friendly the place is clean, centric and with the best view you can get in essaouira

Plussat: Liked everything: view, room, breakfast, friendly staff.

Miinukset: Nothing not to like.

Plussat: It needs a bit of love, but very confortable anyway

Miinukset: The location, the view, the personel

Plussat: This property was beautiful and in an excellent location. The staff were kind and helpful. The breakfast was decent.

Miinukset: I felt the place needed a deep clean - it seemed like everything was really old. We had a couch that had a bit of an odd smell. I think this place could be a 5 star hotel if they gave it a better clean. When we went into our room there was hair on the bathroom floor. Really could step up their service with better cleaning!

Plussat: Brilliant view from the rooftop terrace. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Calm place on the shore of ocean.

Miinukset: There could be better variety of choices during breakfast, e.g. beans, more vegetables.

Plussat: Excellent breakfast. Location superb. Staff were extremely helpful and speak English and French. Would go back.

Miinukset: Is a bit pricey then you pay high local taxes on top.

Plussat: The location of this accommodation was absolutely amazing! We had our breakfast on the rooftop with an amazing overlook on the coast and walls of the old town (even though we had to keep an eye on the seagulls not to snatch our food away). The rooms were much more spacious and better looking, as well as the whole interior of the Riad than it was shown on the photos!

Miinukset: We would have appreciated a hairdryer inside of the room, but that was only a minor inconvenience.

Plussat: We arrived a night earlier due to people warning us not to stay in Casablanca due to violence. We had a lovely room on the terrace overlooking the sea. the weather cleared up.

Miinukset: The breakfast unfortunately was a bit lacking and was very limited. However I believe someone had complained and the manager was present for our last day, breakfast vastly improved. Such a shame they let themselves down on this.

Plussat: Location, terasse

Miinukset: Could have been a little cleaner amd some stuff renewed

Plussat: The postion was excellent and the views were stunning. The staff were very friendly and gave excellent service.

Miinukset: After 5 days the breakfasts became a bit boring. We had to ask for clean towels twice. There was only 1 hairdryer for 23 rooms and it was broken for 2 days.

Plussat: PERFECT HOTEL LOVELY STAFF BEAUTIFUL ROOM

Miinukset: THE WIFI WAS UNRELIABLE AT BEST, SOMETIMES NONEXISTENT' TOWELS NEED TO BE RENEWED, THEY ARE TOO OLD. BUT THESE ARE MINOR , EASRLY RESOLVED GLITCHES

Plussat: Good, quiet location. Nice rooftop breakfast views. Comfortable bed.
