Fabulous hotel, very well-equipped room, clean and tastefully decorated. Located in the medina on a quiet street, hearty breakfast, I recommend and will return

Wait at the reception upon my arrival because there was no one for 10 minutes. I wanted to get the room quickly because I was very tired from my trip.

Very good location and easy to find when you arrive. Very clean. The employees are super friendly. Cute decoration. Breakfast on the terrace is good. Overall, it's a good option in Essaouira

Perhaps the published photos are prettier than reality. Small room and bathroom (I already imagined that but it didn't bother me). The renovation is a tasteful facelift but several things should be fixed, painted... And the wifi, especially on the floor below the terrace, during our stay at least, didn't work well
