Top Essaouira Beach Hotel Reviews

Hotel Coté Océan Mogador

10/10 Excellent

"A great location seaside close to the souk and harbour. A wonderful stay!"

Le Médina Essaouira Thalassa Sea & Spa - MGallery Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Riad Emotion

10/10 Excellent

"C'est un tout petit Riad de 6 ou 7 chambres où l'accueil et le service tout au long de notre séjour fut chaleureux. Excellents petits déjeuner sur la terrasse. Grande chambre et grande salle bain. Vraiment bien situé."

Al Jasira Hotel

8/10 Good

"It was a nice older property. We believed it was air conditioned but our rooms turned out not to be upon arrival. The in-room safe did not work. The weather was such that we could leave the windows open while we slept. Overall it seemed like a good value for the price. Nice people."

Cruiser Mogador Hospitality

8/10 Good

"Chambre très propre. Hôtel situé dans un quartier en construction et très bruyant. Assez loin de tout."

Résidence Louzani

8/10 Good

"Cet emplacement est idéal, si vous voulez visiter le port aller dans les souk, et avoir des petits restos à proximité, tout se fait très bien à pied. Le personnel était très chaleureux et bienveillant . Toutefois, nos bémols sont les suivants : l’activité nocturne est incessante. Malheureusement, nous n’avons pas réussi à bien dormir les deux nuits, car le bruit est constant que ce soit les jeunes qui jouent à l’extérieur jusqu’à 1h du matin, suivie, de la musique, à fond de train, et que dire du chien qui hurle sa vie toute la nuit . Nous avions beau avoir des bouchons pour dormir, le bruit était trop intense et ce peu importe la chambre, car nos amis dormaient dans une autre chambre, et c’était la même chose pour eux. De plus, il n’y a pas d’air climatisé, ni de ventilation fourni. Les fenêtres n’ont pas de moustiquaire donc si vous voulez avoir un courant d’air vous devez ouvrir les fenêtres ce qui fait que les moustiques rentrent. Finalement, nous avons eu le malheur de trouver une Coquerel dans la cuisine. Donc en gros le gros l’emplacement et la vue est idéale si c’est ce que vous recherchez."

Hotel Le Golf DEssaouira & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Trés bon service à la clientèle Souad et Nadia sont vraiment gentilles J’ai vraiment aimé le séjour Propreté 10/10 Vue incroyable sur piscine ,sur mer aussi Prix exceptionnel Je réfère tous le monde pour paser leur séjours"
