Hotell med 4 stjärnor, inte en chans! De flesta i personalen gör det bästa de kan med de förutsättningar som ges. Behov av totalrenovering! Element som inte fungerar. Vi sa till i receptionen och det skulle ordnas men vi såg inte till någon reparatör på de dagar vi var där och checkade ut tidigare. Iskalla golv men varmvatten och kallvatten i kranarna. Dörrar på sned, otäta fönster, vilket inte bidrar att minska ljudet från de trafikerade vägarna runt hotellet.Balkondörr utan nyckel. Gardiner som sitter på tre kvart. Safteyskåp som inte fungerar och inte sitter fast… Helt ok frukost men ingen restaurang eller bar på hotellet. Pool som sett bättre dagar men trots allt sköts. Solstolar/sängar som borde byts för länge sedan. Sängarna i rummet var nog det bästa med hotellet, rena lakan och handdukar. Till poolen var dock handdukarna rena skämtet. Detta hotell är mer eller mindre ett B&B med slitet intryck! Undvik!

Je suis arrivé à l hôtel vers 3 h de l après midi, et j ai trouvé une femme qui m attendait pour s excuser que c est impossible de se loger dans l hôtel à cause des problèmes causés par la pluie , elle m a dit qu elle a une option de logement dans l ancienne médina dans un sorte de riad, mais franchement c était une mauvaise expérience car je me loge jamais dans un Riad de souk et j ai horreur de ça , la chambre sentait humide et l odeur de quelque chose d ancien et je crois que j étais le seul client car il n ya aucun signe d autres clients, le matin j ai déjeuné seul aussi , et le petit déjeuner était en bas de la moyenne, le Riad ou la villa s appelait de l’ ō. C était une mauvaise expérience. J ai pris trois photos du local où j ai passé la nuit que je peux vous les envoyés. Merci

Var nog en gång i tiden ett modernt lyxhotell, inte så längre. Får högsta betyg då inflationen på betyg ändå är så höga. Bäst var närheten till havet och den trevliga personalen. Prisvärt var det också. Saknade AC, men det gick bra i slutet av oktober. Ingenting torkade i fuktigheten så låna badhandduk på hotellet. Essaouira är en perfekt stad på många sätt och rekommenderars före andra större kuststäder i närheten.

Hôtel très simple et bien placé entrée médina

Très bon emplacement juste devant la mer et à l’entrée de la médina. Chambre simple. Attention pour les enfants il s’agit d’un simple canapé et non un canapé lit. Petit déjeuner : la dame nous donne 1 verre d’eau pour 3 en confirmant qu’on ne peut pas en avoir 3. Le réceptionniste Anouar très aimable.

Bof! Préférez un charmant Riad !

Un cadre agréable, mais une expérience en demi-teinte. À notre arrivée, l’enregistrement s’est avéré laborieux : près de 30 minutes d’attente faute d’accès au système, puis, malgré une réservation confirmée par Hotel.com, des doutes exprimés quant à la disponibilité de notre suite. Un début de séjour pour le moins stressant. La chambre bénéficie d’un bon matelas, mais le lit et le sommier grincent à chaque mouvement. Le dessus de lit, taché, aurait mérité d’être remplacé, autant pour l’hygiène que pour le confort visuel. Le petit déjeuner, enfin, laisse un goût mitigé : premier jour, msemen sans saveur et jus d’orange industriel, ce qui est regrettable au Maroc ; le second jour fut meilleur, grâce à un service attentionné et quelques préparations à la demande. En résumé : un emplacement séduisant, mais une qualité d’accueil et d’attention aux détails qui gagnerait à être rehaussée pour offrir une expérience à la hauteur de ce que le lieu pourrait proposer.
Joli mais …..
