Friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast with decent coffee and roof terrace for sunbathing. Bed was firm and comfortable with duvet and clean sheets. Nice hot showers.
Soap or shampoo in bathroom would have been nice. Perhaps a plant or two on roof terrace looked just a bit unloved up there.

Personnel accueillant .petit déjeuner copieux
Réservation booking = OK . Mais il serait mieux de pouvoir aussi payer par booking. Or l'établissement n'accepte pas pour des délais de réglement.

ロケーションがよい。どこに行くにも便利で分かりやすい。
前の宿泊者の下着がバスルームにあって、びっくりした。
スタッフはあまり愛想がない。困りはしないが、何かあった時には頼りにくいな、と思う。

Breakfast also good and tasty
3.0
The breakfast was very good, but it was served in a dark room downstairs by the reception, not very comfortable.
The rooms were very small and crowded and a bit dark, but the bathroom was very modern and clean. Everything in good order, seems to be newly renovated.
My room was never cleaned, I had to tell them to empty the waste basket.
The roof terass was closed, they used to serve the breakfast there before , that would have given a much better impression.
Wi fi excellent.
A nicer breakfast room.
Access to roof terass.

Mohammed on reception was a star. A gentleman who went above and beyond. And the breakfast was lovely. Great rooftop area for chilling, sunbathing.
I was lying in bed after a 4 hour walk and with a double locked door, when another "member of staff" ( NOT Mohammed ), opened my door and walked in accompanied by a stranger. No knock ! No shout ! Just opened locked door and walked in.
I confronted them and they immediately left. With no safe in the rooms ALL my things......passport, clothes, presents etc were in the room. Totally unprofessional !!!
Also I was there for 2 nights, 3 days and had no towel provided. Had to take one from another room, and ask for a 2nd on morning of departure. Room wasn't changed or cleaned once, after arrival. Wasn't a huge deal, and probably an oversight. But I'm still angry about room being entered when the guy assumed I was out.

It is located at the very center of Essaouira, so everything is easily reached by foot. The window view is really nice, and generally it is a very light and nicely decorated place. We also asked for an earlier breakfast to be able to catch the morning bus and we were very grateful that the hosts did not have a problem with that.
The bathroom was not great as the shower, toilet and sink are all in the same area, meaning everything gets completely wet... There is a rubber mop to clean it, but it's not a great solution. Also, the reviews had comments about fantastic breakfast, however ours wasn't very special - maybe because we were the only guests having it at that time.

Location very central yet quiet at night. Very good breakfast. Staff very helpful
Bedroom curtains very thin and don't keep out light. The taxi driver arranged by the hotel took 3 people to the airport - and overcharged all of us. Be careful when/if using them.

I loved the cosy style of the room, and great shower!! Plus it was nice that the breakfast was included! The location was very convenient, the middle of the medina, close to everything I needed...
Unfortunately in the morning there is loud construction work right next door

The staff were really friendly. The breakfast was amazing. It's located right at the centre of Essaouira. Wifi works well. It's very nicely decorated.
Some dampness. Not surprising since it's an old building and it's close to the sea. I recommend to air the room as much as possible.

Hotel is very nice in a great location. Staff was very helpful, had no problem with making early breakfast for me as I was taking bus in the morning. And each morning breakfast was great. Lovely place.
Definitely will come back.

it’s a decent place, good value for money, well located as well.
it’s pretty old so it has this old feeling that i don’t quite fond of.

The early check in, also being allowed to leave my backpack at check-in really early in the morning while I went out walking, whilst the room was being prepared.
The very clean sheets being put on the bed at the early time that I went upstairs to look at the room as I always do after a very bad experience many years ago, I soon found that I certainly did not need to be cautious about this Hotel, everything was perfect.😀
I especially liked the private attached bathroom sink with a plug to keep the water in the bowl while you wash, something the other hotels I visited did not have 😮. I especially liked the, 2 modern separate shower attachments for rinsing off after soaping my self, and there was plenty of hot water, I include a photo of the shower.😀 Also in the bathroom was a very nice shaving light above the lovely mirror and shaving electric socket sink but out of splash zone.
And a very big bath towel supplied.
In the bedroom was a very nice wood pine table and chairs, and just inside the door beautiful pine wood coat hanging hooks, the spacious wardrobe had hangers and on the top shelf an extra thick blanket just in case someone was feeling cold, but the decent sized duvet on the bed was very ample.
3 separate plug in points for Charing phone etc.
The bed was very comfortable, and I am an early bird, so I wake normally at about 5 to 5.
There was absolutely nothing to not like.😮
And if there had been I would not dare mention it because of the great price for this room, which by far surpassed all the other Hotels I had stayed at in Essaouira during my 2 weeks in Morocco.
I certainly cannot complain about this one.
Unless of course that I could say I did not get breakfast served in bed.🤣 Oh that's a thing I forgot to mention there is a free included breakfast in the price and it's served down in the beautifully decorated dining room.
Oh that's another thing just reminded me, when I entered the bedroom there was a very fresh scented smell, seems like blossom of flowers, and the room is tastefully decorated and furnished for such a reasonably cheap price, .well I cannot say much more, except perhaps to say I want to book a week here in late October/ November time this year 😀

The hotel was very nice, in a small riad, and very centric, but quiet. It was easy to find all the time. They let us choose the room we preferred and it was clean, comfortable and quiet. Everyone working there was very kind and friendly and the breakfast was also very good!

Absolutely love this little hotel. Finally, I was satisfied with my room and all. Wonderful, cute, spotless, comfy and nicely decorated place. Very respectful people. I got breakfast to fit my needs. Will definitely come back if in Essaouira.

Fantastic location, friendly staff, clean room and great breakfast. We stayed in quite a few places in Morocco and this was one of our favourites
Nothing - there are stairs and no lift which might be a problem for some but no worries for us
