Riad Chbanate

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at Riad Chbanate. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and beautifully maintained, but what truly makes this place special is the exceptional staff. A heartfelt thank you to Hisham, Gregie (apologies if I’ve misspelled your name), Samira, and the entire team. Everyone was incredibly welcoming, accommodating, and genuinely committed to making our stay enjoyable. The breakfast was excellent, and the Moroccan tea was some of the best we had during our trip. The location is ideal if you prefer being closer to the beach. The main medina and other attractions are about a 10–13 minute walk away, which we found very manageable. We highly recommend Riad Chbanate to anyone visiting Essaouira. Thank you again to the entire team for your outstanding hospitality!"

Riad Mimouna

8/10 Good

"Lot of items for the daily breakfast buffet. Shopping/eating around this place. Kind of far away to walk from the taxi dropping areas. Flat areas, no steps. This hotels has a elevator. Rooms need more plug points and bright lights. Outside kind of dirty due to cats/dogs. We saw even locals cover their noses around this area. Although some one washed the roads one day, maybe need to do more often."

Salut Maroc Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Our room (the Casablanca) was hands down the most colorful, gorgeous room we have stayed in and we have traveled a lot. The tilework was next-level and brought us so much joy. The rooftop is equally gorgeous, with food and nightly music that are not to be missed. The entire property makes you smile. And the only thing better are the people who work here. Each person went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed and when my husband was ill, Rachida came up to give us her duvet, send someone to the very late night pharmacy, and made home rice and special tea at nearly midnight. We are forever grateful and will continue to share stories of your kindness and character. And send everyone we know to Salut Maroc! Love to Rachida and the team!"

Hotel Coté Océan Mogador

10/10 Excellent

"Hôtel merveilleusement bien situé pour profiter de la mer et visiter à pied Essaouira. Le personnel est vraiment exceptionnel, mais une mention toute spéciale à Ayoub Khaled pour la qualité de son service au restaurant, à notre femme de chambre, Fatima Zhra et un gros merci à Imane à la réception pour sa reconnaissance. À la prochaine !!!"
