Reviews
No hot water in the shower. Brought a friend back with me in the evening and was told to kick them out in the middle of the night because they didn’t have a passport with them. I had however booked for two people to stay and was never told that would be necessary when I first got my room keys at the front desk.
Our stay wasn’t pleasant. The hotel has seen it’s best days. Some serious investment/refurbishment is needed. We changed rooms various times but eventually left after one night because the mildew was everywhere and strong.
The location is pretty good if you are keen to experience the beach. But yes, cannot recommend staying there.
When I booked my reservation rooms , I drive to essaouira city from Marrakech with confrontation # i have my family with me we are 6 people's, we arrived at the hotel around 830PM, i walk to reception to give the agency my booking # i find hotel is full and my rooms not available, I pay $175 for 2 room only for one night ,No one's can helping me or explain to me whats going on.
