Medina Hotel Guide - Beach Hotels in Medina, Essaouira

"The highlight of this hotel is the view. Absolutely aim for an ocean view room, but if not, there are ample opportunities to enjoy the view from the rooftop, the enclosed rooftop lounge, or the wall of windows in the dining area. Staff were absolutely wonderful, especially the women at the front desk - they made us feel welcomed and valued right from the start! This hotel has an elevator. We're normally stair people, but after long days, or when moving luggage, it's so nice to have the elevator option. The only downside was the breakfast. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad, it just wasn't good either. Breakfast was more of an opportunity to grab a bottled water for the day and get a little something in the belly before heading out, but never more than okay. The good thing is there are a number of wonderful restaurants in town. "

"No heating no air condition and no real window in the room. The shower was low and was impossible to use for a person 1.70 height. The floor becomes wet during all night. And last, my pocket mirror was lost. I noticed when ı came back to home. Never stay again there."

"Excellent value for money"

"Staff was overly friendly, beautiful place nestled down a private alley (took me a minute to find it). Room was very clean and nice. Would only mention that the private washroom was actually outside my room , but beyond that my stay was perfect. Highly recommend and great value!"

"Mold in bathroom Poor hygiene"

"Lovely little Road, nice breakfast but carbohydrate heavy so be aware diabetics. Room and bed were comfortable and hot water working well. The staff at the hotel were friendly and professional and were really nice to put up with my almost nonexistent French. I would recommend for authentic stays."

"Lovely stay in ideal location with attentive staff, good views and great breakfast served on terrace. Booked in for hamam which was very enjoyable. Only downside was we had the top apartment that opened onto terrace which was a lovely apartment with own breakfast table, but shower flooded so you had to be quick, the buildings AC unit was on our roof and noisy at night, and the town is full of seagulls that woke you up early. None of this would be a problem on lower floors."

"Lovely riad accommodation in a passageway just off one of the main streets in the medina at Essaouira. Breakfast in the central atrium was a lovely way to start the day. A relaxing place to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the medina. Room was compact with two single beds but was an authentic road experience."

"We stayed in room 3. Sadly, the bathroom emits a horrible sewage odor from the drains. The odor is so strong it made us gag—the smell of sewage is disgusting. In order to enjoy the room, the windows need to be left open, which is fine during the day, but not at night when trying to sleep. On mentioning the issue to the staff, little was done to resolve the issue. We also asked to move to another room and the request was not fulfilled. At the very least we should have been credited back part of our stay for having to sleep in a room that really was unacceptable due to the sewage smell issue. Otherwise lovely hotel and ambiance. Super friendly staff and good location. It’s a shame, our issue wasn’t taken more seriously and/or remedied. We expected better at this price point. "
