A wonderful hotel in a perfect location to explore and enjoy this pretty town.
Pros:

Lovely rooftop for breakfast and general relaxing. All the areas of the hotel were extremely pretty. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Our bed and bedroom (and bathroom) were very comfortable. It was a wonderful 6 day holiday at the hotel and the location was very near the town and the coast and the port. So much to explore in Essaouria.

Pros:

Cama muy comoda, terraza bonita con vistas a la ciudad, personal amable.

Cons:

Creo que el desayuno podria ser mejorable teniendo en cuenta el standing del riad (algo de fruta, amlou, msemen...), y estaria bien poner una papelera en el baño y un secador

Koselig familiehotell. God marokkansk frokost på koselig takterrasse. Hotellet er rett innenfor medinaen, men i rolig strøk. Gangavstand til souker og restauranter.
