Paisible mais accueil trop simpliste
Pros:

La localisation et la propreté ainsi que la terrasse !

Cons:

L’accueil froid, peu chaleureux par rapport à ce qu’on attend d’un Riad / maison d’hôtes, ainsi que de la moisissure présente dans la salle de bain.

Schöner Ort in der Medina
Pros:

Die Lage ist gut. Man kann zwischendurch mal ins Riad um sich etwas auszuruhen und dann wieder weiter. Auch gut ist die Nähe von der Bushaltestelle Supratours von wo der Bus nach Marrakesh ankommt und startet. Die Betten sind sehr bequem und die Zimmer sind schlicht, schön, angenehm und funktional. Insgesamt ein sehr netter Ort. Für 1-2 Tage perfekt.

Cons:

Vielleicht etwas ringhörig. Aber das ist in den meisten Riads der Fall, man hört die anderen Gäste - einfach Oropax mitnehmen. Die Chefin hat uns bei Check-in keinerlei Infos gegeben betreffend Frühstück etc aber das war wohl ein Versehen.

2 gg a Essaouira
Pros:

La posizione è eccellente, a 3 min a piedi dal parcheggio e 10 min ,sempre a piedi,dalla spiaggia.
Leggermente più tortuoso raggiungere il sound, ma dopo 2 volte si impara la strada
Il personale accogliente
La colazione buona

Cons:

La nostra camera era veramente piccola, letto matrimoniale incastrato sotto la finestra, quindi di notte, se ci si deve alzare per i bisogni, bisogna scavalcare l'altra persona

Sehr empfehlenswert
Pros:

Sehr schönes Riad in der Medina. Sehr sauber. Warmes Wasser. Schön gestaltet. Sehr freundliches Personal. Immer jemand da um die Türe zu öffnen. Frühstück auf der Terrasse mit Morgensonne. Am Rande der Medina, also etwas ruhiger, trotzdem sind Ohrenstöpsel Nachts zu empfehlen wie überall in der Medina. Am besten zu finden wenn man das kleine Tor an der Ecke des Parkplatzes Marrakesch rein geht.

Cons:

Alles gut! Nur den "bewachten" Parkplatz Marrakesch kann ich nicht empfehlen, da uns dort jemand über Nacht die Autofrontscheibe mit einem Stein beschädigt hat und diese dann getauscht werden musste.
