Location fan and staff brilliant. Steep stairs but nice views.
Pros:

Location was great, couldn’t have asked for better. Breakfast served very nicely and quick. The staff were all friendly and my room was bright and quiet

Cons:

Stairs were steep, and it was a little musty. But it’s an old building so it’s to be expected. I’m
Only mentioning it for travelers who may struggle with stairs.

Pros:

Sehr schönes Riad, welches zentral in der Medina gelegen ist. Wir hatten einen schönen Aufenthalt und ein köstliches Frühstück. Im Winter kann es sehr kalt und feucht werden, aber ansonsten hat es uns sehr gut gefallen. Wir kommen auf alle Fälle wieder.

Cons:

Nichts - die Räume waren zu der Jahreskalt sehr kalt, aber im Gesamtbild dennoch eine 10/10

Pros:

Es un hotel económico, hermoso y tranquilo, situado en plena medina; el personal es muy agradable y ayuda en todo lo que puede; posibilidad de cambiar moneda y de organizar todo tipo de traslados; habitación confortable, con vistas y buen servicio de WiFi; la cama era muy cómoda; desayuno continental riquísimo, perfecto para empezar el día, y precisamente el personal tuvo a bien adelantar la hora del servicio, pues yo tenía un vuelo temprano; detalles que justifican sobradamente una eventual próxima visita.

Cons:

Aunque Esauira sea una ciudad generalmente calurosa, en enero puede refrescar bastante; no había mantas disponibles en la habitación y pasé frío. Fuera de eso, todo muy bien.

Pros:

Plutot bien situé dans la médina, proche du parking et pas trop loin des rues animées

Cons:

Les chambres sont vraiment minimalistes et nécessiteraient un bon rafraichissement, ainsi que le mobilier, la terrasse est plutôt jolie mais l'accès par l'escalier avec les rampes en corde est compliqué
