beautiful space, very nice hosts, attentive staff, large and good breakfast

Jake United States of America

The breakfast was wonderful, very tasty and filling. An amazing selection every morning. Good French press coffee. Breakfast is served on the rooftop patio, very lovely and a nice way to start the day. The service staff were very friendly and kind, but do not speak English if this is important to you. We paid for laundry service and it was very well done. They even ironed our T-shirts! Our room was very clean and decorated nicely. The bathroom was spacious and very clean. The rooms are cleaned daily with fresh towels. The location is very good. It is inside the Medina and close to many shops, restaurants, coffee and tea places, etc.

Eileen United States of America

The hosts were very welcoming and offered some great suggestions of things to do and see in Essaouira. And the breakfasts were exceptional.

Douglas Morocco

Great location. The owner and the staff were exceptionally hospitable & knowledgeable. The rooms were charming, perhaps a little tight for undoing the suitcases. The breakfasts were a feast.
