Séjour très agréable
Pros:

Très bon emplacement dans la médina piétonne, mais proche d'une entrée ce qui facilite les déplacements hors médina (arrivée/départ). Hotel avec beaucoup de charme, jolies couleurs, petites chambres agréables, et très beau rooftop pour prendre le petit déjeuner, ou prendre son temps

Cons:

Pas d'ascenseur : pas un problème pour nous, mais utile à savoir. Pas de TV mais peu utile dans une aussi jolie ville.

Pros:

Great location right in the medina — the port, the ramparts and the market are all a short walk away. The staff were warm and helpful, and when we mentioned we had a car they immediately pointed us to a decent parking spot nearby, which we really appreciated. Breakfast was a highlight — fresh, generous and served on the terrace.

Cons:

The seagulls start screaming at dawn and don't stop.

Très bon choix dans la médina
Pros:

Riad/Hôtel très mignon. Le personnel est charmant. Le toit terrasse est très agréable. Assez calme car dans la médina mais sans être au cœur de l’animation. Très bon rapport qualité/prix

Over all: price and services are real good in Hotel Emeraude! I would recomend it come back again my
Pros:

The hotel is very well situated in the medina of Essaouira and close to Supratours busstation. The hotel is clean, the staff friendly, the breakfast good on a lovely terrace.

Cons:

Only disadvantage: my room was next to little side road with a lot of moped traffic. Thanks God, the windows are well isolated.

Pros:

Riad extrêmement belle et authentique, bien située. propreté impeccable, personnel gentil, l'hôte nous a permis de laisser nos bagages plus tôt la première journée et tard la dernière afin de pouvoir profiter pleinement d'Essaouira, le petit-déjeuner inclus était excellent et servis sur la terrasse roof-top magnifique. Je recommande!

Cons:

Ce n'est pas très insonorisé, il y avait beaucoup de bruit à l'extérieur jusqu'à 5h am... rien d'autre à dire!
