Pros:

The breakfast was nice

Cons:

Our room was just by the kitchen and in the evening and morning there was a lot of noise coming from the kitchen and also smell of food. Which is not nice while sleeping or trying to sleep.

Ich war komplett zufrieden.
Pros:

Überraschend große und stilvoll eingerichtete Zimmer mit schönem Balkon. Sehr freundliche Rezeption. Interessante Architektur.

Cons:

Kleinere Mängel: Armaturen müssten mal wieder entkalkt werden, niedriger Wasserdruck. Aber nichts dramatisches.

Excellent all the way around.
Pros:

It’s was fantastic! The staff super friendly without being fake for tourists. Genuinely interested in your well being. Went out of their way to girder a car for us at an unusual early hour, placed a space heater in our room when it got chilly without us asking. I forgot a blouse in the closet and they contacted me right away. And the food! Amazing. Never had better Spanish food outside of Spain.

C’était bien
Pros:

L’espace de la chambre. L’endroit est bien situé. Personnel sympa.

Cons:

L’hygiène de la vaisselle/couvert. Chambre légèrement humide et comme notre chambre était au rez-de-chaussée la fenêtre donne sur la terrasse où il y a beaucoup de passage.

Pros:

Très joli hotel, jolie jardin et piscine (si elle était chauffée un peu, cela serait vraiment agréable...), excellent accueil, et petit déjeuner délicieux !

Cons:

Mon seul bémol c'est que ma chambre était située au rez-de-chaussée face à la piscine. En soi, cela ne pose pas de problème, sauf que des chaises longues étaient installées juste en dessous de ma fenêtre. Si bien que je pouvais entendre les conversations des gens qui y étaient étendus comme s'ils étaient dans ma chambre ! Comme il n'y a pas de climatisation - puisque à Essaouira ce n'est pas vraiment utile en raison des vents constants - je devais laisser ma fenêtre ouverte. C'était assez désagréable... mais s'il n'y avait pas eu de chaises longues sous ma fenêtre, cela aurait été vraiment un note parfaite ! En ce qui a trait à la plage, elle est magnifique, mais vraiment beaucoup de vent et le courant est très fort. Parfait pour les surfeurs, moins pour les baigneurs...

Overall, not worth what we paid. This hotel was not as nice as some of the hostels we stayed in for half the price.

Prinzipiell schön aber mit erheblichen Einschränkungen
Pros:

Prinzipiell eine schöne Unterkunft in einem alten Riad. Gute Lage zum Stand und zur Altstadt. Parken konnten wir direkt vor der Unterkunft.

Cons:

Leider kann man im ersten Stock die Balkontüre nicht verriegeln und es reichen Bäume vom Erdgeschoss/Eingangsbereich bis weit über den ersten Stock. Da wir besorgt waren, dass in der Nacht oder bei unserer Abwesenheit ohne Probleme Einbrecher ins Zimmer konnten haben wir unsere Bedenken an der Rezeption geäußert. Dort hat man uns gesagt, dass das in Ordnung ist, wenn die Balkontüre nicht absperrbar ist, da die Gegend sicher ist. Der Metalldetektor im Eingangsbereich ist auch defekt und wird nicht benötigt. Dieses Unverständnis war erstaunlich. Wir haben dann versucht, die Türe, so weit möglich, mit einem Tisch zu versperren.
