Ik was op slag verliefd op dit hotel om zijn bijzondere sfeer en het verwarmde zwembad.
Pros:

Heel mooi gebouw en hele goede service. Heerlijk eten. Mooie locatie.

Cons:

Het is traditioneel open in de binnenruimte wat mooi is - maar waardoor wel hele koude wind te voelen is . In de zomer aangenaam denk ik maar voorjaar wat fris. Verder echt waanzinnig mooi hotel.

Attraktive verwinkelte Altstadt ( Medina ), lebhafter Fischerhafen und lange Strandpromenade
Pros:

Sehr freundliches Personal, die praechtige Agentur und der grosszuegige Innenhof

Cons:

Das Riad ist ideal fuer die warme Jahreszeit; im
Maerz froren wir beim Fruehstueck in Innengarten und im unheizten Speisesaal beim Fruestueck und beim Nachtessen; fuer das Zimmer erhielten wir einen Elektrofen

Superbe cadre authentique, atmosphère reposante
Pros:

Une nuit en famille mi-février 2026.
Nous avions réservé 3 chambres supérieures.
Arrivée en fin de journée avec deux voitures: attention pensez à prévenir l'hôtel par téléphone 1/4heure avant votre arrivée car leur emplacement de parking est à l'extérieur des remparts de la médina (en pleine rue juste délimité par une chainette, pas du tout sécurisé). Le personnel de l'hotel viendra vous ouvrir la chainette et porter vos bagages avec une cariole.
Vous serez à 5 minutes à pieds des murailles et de l'océan.
Très bon accueil, personnel très agréable, souriant et professionnel.
Superbe cadre authentique, atmosphère reposante.
Malheureusement plusieurs moment du séjour gâché par le bruit qu'on pu faire des clients chinois: le chuchotement et le respects des voisins leur est inconnu...
Belle chambre fonctionnelle avec cheminée et petit salon. Seul bémol pas de Wifi: inaceptable pour un R&C!
Très bons repas du soir et petit déjeuner.

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
