Tired old quirky hotel.
The Hotel Sahara in Essouira has seen better days. It is a fabulous old building right by the walls - a great location. It is very much in the 'traveller' mould by which I mean it hasn't changed its service much since I first stayed 33 years ago! The showers are inconsistent, the towels, well, bring your own. I stay in some very fine places around the world but this place is quirky, cheap, easy and safe - though not for the faint hearted. No breakfast, non existant service.

Cold showers, dirty towels, broken glass!
No tea or coffee as stated in advert. Room was dark and very dated. The towels were dirty and at least 20 years old. Most of the time the showers were cold. I think they put the hot water on in the morning for 1 hour. I cut my finger on a broken glass table in the room.

Like a visit to the way things used to be and should have remained. This is hotel for non-tourist industry fiends. Lots of charm and character at a great price.

Ни в коем случае
Древний отель, куча насекомых, горячую воду ждешь по десять минут (и это норма, об этом гласит бумажка на двери внутри номера), находится в районе медины (хотя это может для кого-то и плюс), всё старое и очень грязное, даже белье и полотенца. Персонал мило улыбается и кивает, но толку от этого абсолютно никакого. Не было указанных отелем в объявлении чайника или кофеварки. Но это всё не самое страшное. В силу архитектурных особенностей и/или расположения воздух в номере ОЧЕНЬ сырой. Мало того, что стиранные носочки не сохнут, более того - влажным становится всё. Даже вещи которые Вы не стирали. Даже книга в Вашей сумке. Представляете, какой там запах и как это влият на здоровье? В ванной на шторке была черная плесень. Очень надеюсь, что это просто грязь, но очень похоже на плесень. Ах да. За трое суток в моем номере никто не убрался и даже просто не вынесли мусор. Кстати, телевизор не работал и половина лампочек не горели. Наверное, это к лучшему, иначе на свет сползлось бы еще больше насекомых. (Вы когда-нибудь видели таракана, размером с нормальный человеческий мизинец? Не в террариуме, а в живую. Я теперь - да) В общем, если я попаду в Ад, мне кажется, в нем будет лучше, чем в этом отеле.
