The rooftop was amazing! The room and the restaurant on the main floor also. The hotel was recently renovated to very high standards. The experience is worth at least 4 stars hotel! Thank you to Boubacar for this tips of restaurant and spa in Essaouira and Alex for the tips of the surf spot.

Perfect location to explore the medina and still very quiet. The hotel is small and very special, with great attention to every detail. We stayed in a room n the last floor. It has own patio and corresponds with 3 level terrace with great view over the roofs of the medina and towards the ocean. The room - bed, bathroom - was very comfy, with lot of air and light. The breakfast is fantastic and it is served till 11:30, which was great added value. The staff were super friendly. They offer luggage delivery to the car which had to be parked outside the medina. All in all great value for money!

FAQs about hotels in Essaouira

Morocco With a European Twist

Essaouira has developed from a hippie hangout to become a top Morocco beach resort with good surfing conditions. Its 18th-century medina is almost European in feel and narrow streets lead under low arches past fragrant spice stalls and local artisans selling everything from wood carvings to faience pottery.

Dotted around the souk are many traditional-style riads on Booking.com, hidden behind tiled façades and blue doors. Other Essaouira accommodation options include luxury hotels with swimming pools, cheap apartments, and B&Bs near Essaouira Airport.

Also bright blue are the rowing boats bobbing gently in small harbours sheltered by the Scala of the Port, a wide walkway with ramparts through which several historic cannons poke out. At the end is the Citadel, a small fortress overlooking Mogador Island - the largest of the Iles Purpuraires, so-called for the purple shells found in their rocks that were once used to produce dyes for Roman senator togas.

Another fortress – Bordj El Berod – lies in pieces on the long, sandy beach south of the marina. In the opposite direction the coastline is more rocky and lined by the Scala of the Kasbah, the crenellated walls protecting the medina. Horseriding and camel safaris are available on the beach and you can also visit a Berber village inland.

A very relaxing place to visit for a mid-winter break.

A very relaxing place to visit for a mid-winter break. Friendly, little or no hassle, unlike some destinations in Morocco. Safe. Carrefour supermarket for those who require more than the local shops can provide. If your looking for 'sights' then two days is enough. If your wishing to relax and enjoy a break if a friendly place then one week is only just enough!

Stayed 2 nights.

Stayed 2 nights. Arrived about 3pm in November so had less than a day on the 1st day. Spent the whole of Day 2 wandering around the Medina, the beach and even explored the "residential area" - on the outskirts of the medina. It was easy to walk around everywhere. Day 3 - departed on the 11am bus so my 3 days and 2 nights were just perfect.

Essaouira is unique: its traditional buildings offer the visitor coffee shops, restaurants with moroccan cuisine, tiny shops for spices, jewellery, wood carvings, ethnic clothing, leather goods and carpets yet remains a fully working town for its locals. It is no high-end "cote d'azur", but that is why it is so special. The port area is amazing - so many small boats and trawlers bringing in their catch daily, to be sold on the quayside, with all the sights (and smells) that one imagines of a working fishing port. We saw massive tunas, sharks, eels, crabs and lobsters, shrimps (some enormous), all arranged for local restaurants, residents and even brave tourists to buy. The Medina is a maze of tiny alleys and tunnels, with traders, artisans and artists of all descriptions beavering away at all hours. We also found it easy to talk to the Essaouirians, many of whom will go out of their way to welcome you and exchange life stories. All in all, a feast for the senses.

Essauouira came the closest to what my romantic notion, minds-eye of what a Moroccan medina would be like. The medina is large enough to become thoroughly lost and found in; the Atlantic Ocean is majestic and can be gazed upon from so many beautiful sights along the medina; magnificent sunsets; delicious but highly affordable restaurants. A dreamy place to gather your thoughts and center yourself after visiting Marrakech and the Sahara!

We liked the serene atmosphere of the Hotel des Iles and its large swimming pool. The location is excellent, it is just across the road from the beach and the medina is just a short distance away, you can easily walk there in a few minutes. As the are no lifts in the hotel, it is probably a good idea to get either a ground floor room or a pool bungalow because the breakfast bar is on the first and the buffet on the second floors. If you are not eating at the hotel there are lots of reastaurants in the medina and a couple quite close to the hotel.

I chose this place for fresh seafood, as advertised.

I chose this place for fresh seafood, as advertised. What I had was an awful, almost-poisonous, life-threatening experience, as my fresh, chosen purchase of tiger prawns had been replaced by rotten ones by the fishmonger. It could have happened while I was struggling to count their foreign money out of my pocket. I ended up being in an embarrassing situation with the apartment owner when I cooked the prawns and polluted the whole building with a foul smell of rotten seafood. I chucked them all out in the bin, and I lost my appetite for the rest of my stay in Morocco. I should have listened to what my friends were saying about this place.
