Bon séjour
Pros:

La situation et la vue du toit terrasse pour le petit déjeuner (copieux)
La gentillesse du personnel

Cons:

Il faisait chaud dans la chambre sans ventilateur nous avons donc dormi la fenêtre ouverte mais les bruits de la médina toute la nuit nous ont réveillés.

Pros:

Tutto molto pulito

Cons:

Lo staff assente, a parte il signore che si occupava della reception la notte. Accolti sbrigativamente, non ci hanno dato le chiavi per entrare e uscire in autonomia, cosa che era necessaria perchè non sempre alla reception c’era qualcuno che ci potesse aprire.

Immersa nella Medina di Essaouira e ben collegata alla fermata del bus per Marrakech, si respira un’aria autentica, staff gentilissimo, colazione preparata con cura da avere in terrazza, è stato un soggiorno molto disteso

Pros:

Bon emplacement. Situé dans la medina, tout en restant pas loin du Parking

Cons:

Nous etions en chambre triple c'est vraiment tres petit, tres peu d'espace pour déployer 3 valises
Nous avons vu les chambres classiques pour 2 personnes c'est effectivement mieux
Environnement tres bruyant, beaucoup de bruits dans la medina tard dans la nuit, mais je suppose que c'est un peu pareil partout dans la medina

A lovely stay and a beautiful city. Easy to navigate in comparison to Marrakesh and a great start to a holiday, includin
Pros:

This Riad is in The Medina and really easy to get to from outside. So your Taxi drops you off only a five minute walk away. As many as have said, the breakfasts are great. I initially wanted to book a room for my daughter and myself, they offered a room with a bunkbed, which I declined and later wished I had accepted as the bunk bedroom is lovely for two people who want to sleep on separate beds.

Cons:

The space is tight.

Pros:

Great location, all the key sites were in walking distance. The breakfast on the rooftop was also a nice way to start the day.

Cons:

The room did not have an air conditioner, which in the peak of summer would have been nice. However its absence did not take away from the overall enjoyment of the stay.

Pros:

Situation, propreté, accueil bon petit déjeuner et bon équipements.

Cons:

Manque d'intimité car trop de proximité au niveau sonore a l'intérieur de l'établissement. Tout le monde entendait tout de tout le monde...
