Medina Hotels, Essaouira

"Friendly and helpful staff"

"The location was great. It was easy to reach and conveniently located. The staff was wonderful, friendly and efficient. They provided an ample breakfast, served wherever we preferred to eat. Unfortunately, the room and especially the shower were smaller than expected, and there was a construction site just outside our window that often worked late into the night. Overall, it was a positive experience."

"Hôtel merveilleux, personnel très sympathique et accueillant. La vue depuis la terrasse est époustouflante où l’on prend un excellent petit-déjeuner. Le hammam et message parfaits ! A recommander !"

"Fabulous riad with professional and attentive staff. Beautiful roof terrace for breakfast and just lazing after a day in the souls."

"In the heart of the medina yet lovely and quiet. Helpful staff. Spotless room. "

"Riad Emotion was the best place that we stayed during a 12 day Moroccan excursion. You really felt taken care of and the staff, especially Albert, treated us like family and it felt homey. Only there for 2 nights but wished we could have stayed longer. Rooms were great and unique due to the classic Riad architecture which has a central courtyard that is open to the roof. Very exotic and unique. Each morning a full and fresh breakfast was made to order in the sunshine of the rooftop terrace. Anything we needed was provided and Albert gave us great recommendations for restaurants and a hammam massage. Wonderful stay and we would love to stay there again. "

"Our stay was disappointing. We paid $180.00 USD per night for a place where the cleanliness and operation left much to be desired. There were many cobwebs, the mini-fridge was filthy, as were the dishes. The sheets were stained, the shower water didn't drain, the shower head was broken, there was a strong sewage smell, and the air conditioning didn't work. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast was very good, but we definitely don't recommend it. We didn't like the hotel."

"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."
