Séjour très agréable dans un établissement raffiné
Pros:

Établissement élégant avec un patio particulièrement chaleureux le soir quand les lumières s’allument dans le jardin. La terrasse est particulièrement agréable et confortable et la piscine chauffée est un must pour Essaouira à l’intérieur de la Médina. La table est raffinée. C’est l’établissement le plus chic de la Medina sans conteste même si celui-là n’est pas notre préféré

Cons:

Les chambres de base sont élégantes mais n’ont rien extraordinaires

fantastisch hotel in een historisch gebouw in de Medina
Pros:

Het is een schitterend hotel gevestigd in een historisch gebouw in de medina. de service is excellent. Er is een prachtig dakterras met zwembad met een uitstekende service. De bar is heerlijk om een drankje te nuttigen aan het einde van de middag of het begin van de avond. De locatie is in de medina , op loopafstand van het strand.

Cons:

we bezochten Marokko in januari. houd er rekening mee dat het dan in de avonden en ochtend koud is. Het restaurant en de bar worden met openhaard vuur verwarmd. Voor heel marokko geldt dat je in die periode ook warme kleding mee moet nemen. Overdag loopt de temperatuur makkelijk tot 20 graden of hoger op.

A romantic and relaxing stay in a comfortable and friendly hotel with great service.
Pros:

Fantastic breakfast with a lot of options and local specialities as well as the usual pastries, toast and eggs. Coffee was great. Dinner was good too. Enjoyed a lovely chicken tagine and lamb couscous. The room was very clean with a very comfortable bed and plenty of space. The location is great and right near the Bab Marrakech. As it's within the walls there is a little noise until late but we found that closing the door to the bathroom eliminated that and we slept extremely well. Watching the sunset from the roof was a very special experience. Eric Molle, Mohammed and all the team were fantastic and looked after us really well. A very special place and a good place to explore Essaouira from. There is a rooftop pool and lots of places to sit and relax.

Cons:

The shower floor was a little slippery but apart from that everything was good.

Zeer aangename accommodatie op prima locatie.
Pros:

Locatie en ruime luxe kamer met balkon. zwembad op het dak met groot terras, heel comfortabel met ligbedden en mogelijkheid voor lunch. Heerlijke dikke lakens, in de badkamer en aan het zwembad

Cons:

Wat minder prettig is, is dat de binnenplaats tochtig en fris kan zijn tijdens het overigens uitgebreide ontbijtbuffet.
