Perfect for me as I wanted to relax, enjoy the art, fort & walk the waterfront and beach. I’m fit- so walking the 6 flights of stairs to beautiful rooftop breakfast/bar and chase lounge views was perfect Those with knee/stair issues won’t be so pleased but there is also beautiful bar, restaurant pool table on main floor.

6/10 Good

Hotels.com advertised the rooms as having heating but this was not true. No heating whatsoever so we had to request extra blankets as we were unlucky with a cold time in early March. Windows are not air tight and cold air was seeping in. Lighting in room is very dim at night time but natural daytime lighting is good. There was a lot of dead bugs near the ceiling. Breakfast was very good and included many options. Fruit for breakfast besides juice would be nice improvement. I was pregnant so the stairs were a bit tough for me but I went on them slowly, it is quite a lot of stairs if you have mobility issues. I liked that they provided free bottled water each day. The rooftop is beautiful and watching sunsets there were amazing!!! Hotel might be good for summer stays but do not recommend for winter / spring time visits.

The staff (especially the kitchen staff) were amazing. Never seen such service and politeness anywhere else and i been all around the world. Very relaxing and peaceful atmosphere. Rooftop dining with the ocean all around is an experience in itself. The only negatives are only 1 channel on tv.

8/10 Very good

The hotel itself was very neat and clean and the staff was really nice. However I don't think this is a four star hotel as there weren't facilities which a four star room should have like a refrigerator and a electric water cooker. Also the breakfast was the same every day, it would have been nice if there were some variations. Lastly I wouldn't recommend coming to this hotel by car because parking is a bit hustle. As the hotel doesn't have its own parking spaces. Best is to take a taxi or the shuttle bus.

Wonderful Stay

This is a beautiful, well-maintained Riad. The service was excellent and the staff was very friendly and accomodating. We've stayed in a mini-suite and it was very comfortable. The Riad is in a perfect location close everything. We've especially enjoyed our breakfast every morning on the terrace with the view of the ocean. Highly recommend!

The property location just inside the city walls near the beach and port is perfect- with views from the rooftop terrace. The staff were excellent, helpful and friendly from reception through to the restaurant and terrace. We lived eating breakfast on the rooftop terrace and the cosy atmosphere of the restaurant. Altogether a relaxing stay in relaxed Essaouira.
