Le Medina Essaouira Thalassa Sea & Spa MGallery

Essaouira|0.85km from Bab Doukkala
After reading some of the reviews before staying at this hotel I have to say I'm not surprised. I totally agree with the comments that this is not a true 5 star hotel at all. The positives are the location, the pool area and the rooms (to an extent). From one way its only a short walk to the medina and from the other it's a short walk to the beach bars. The pool area is well maintained and very attracting. The rooms are a good size with comfy bed and powerful shower and they are very clean. However, we started off by having to change rooms as the room we were first given had a chipped bath - all the paint had come up off the bottom of the bath so it was unusable, the staff solved this pretty quickly by offering us a room of the same standard one floor above. Nevertheless, I find it shocking that a 5 star hotel would not maintain their rooms in the first place. We found the cleaning staff and concierges very friendly. Some of the breakfast staff and beach staff, less so. One day we sat on the beach beds and felt looked down on and were not treated as well as some of the other guests. This really put us off and prevented us using this area again. Not sure if this is because we are a younger/mixed couple? Overall, the hotel is lacking in a lot of areas and the Accor group need to look into this. I would definitely visit Essaouira again but would probably rent an apartment since the beach and medina have so many options anyway!

Riad Perle d'Eau
4.5/551 Reviews
Lovely riad with exceptionally helpful staff. One of the two buildings is part of the sea wall, so there are incredible views from the terrace and some rooms. Breakfast is delicious, and the hotel sells a small range of wines and beers at reasonable prices. Don't expect aircon etc as this is a traditional riad, but the rooms are comfortable and spacious. Super friendly and helpful staff.
Hotel Emeraude Essaouira
4.3/524 Reviews
Very pleasant riad, with a refined, bright decor, in the blues, as I like! We were on the 3rd floor, with direct exit to the terrace, rather small room, but very pleasant, cozy bedding, impeccable bathroom with easy-to-regulate shower (it's not always easy) Hearty breakfast with real juices squeezed orange or tangerine. Frédérique, the director and the staff are very welcoming, attentive and give very good advice Access is easy, very close to the Bab Chbanat, the beach, with a beautiful promenade is very close
Hotel Dar El Qdima
4/515 Reviews
Me and my husband are locals and we have stayed here one night to be repeated surely when coming to essaouira city. They give discounts for big groups and long term stays – I recommend contacting them directly for the best price. This is an authentic Moroccan riad loaded with antiques painstaking collected by the local owners over the years and decorated as a labor of love and coziness. Tea is happily provided when welcoming. Breakfast can be included with the room hot and fresh. There is a calm energy and a coziness about the place. They seem to love the riad and their guests. It is in an easy and fabulous location in the Medina. A short walk to the beach, the square, souk and squala. Finding it is super easy using google maps. I highly recommend this riad, especially for English speakers looking for an authentic Moroccan experience! Thank you Teresa and Loqman.
Riad Chbanate
4.8/555 Reviews
Riad Chbanate is amazing! Every Riad in Morocco astounds me with its style, graciousness, and comfort. With gorgeous architecture, the rooms at the Chbanate are more romantic than most, and I think it would be perfect for a honeymoon. But even at 72, I could appreciate the sensual decor. Service exudes that Moroccan warmth. Smiles abound, led by the irrepressible Samira, who was very charming. Greg and Hichen were also helpful and fun. Breakfasts were delicious and elegant, served in a lovely room off the courtyard. We had a perfect stay. The Riad Chbanate was so wonderful, I could spend my entire holiday never leaving the Riad, except for dinner and to listen to music. It is a great place for a respite.
Riad le Khan Mogador
4.4/519 Reviews
I spent a couple of nights with my wife after doing a country tour. So, the trip was to relax. The place itself and owner were very polite, breakfast was great. But there is always a but. When I booked, the main thing was parking. The description showed parking and that is incorrect. You have to park outside the medina and pay for it (US$5-7/night), then you need to hire a cart person to take your luggage into the hotel (unless you don't kind carrying yourself) About US$2. Since the place was to sleep and relax for a couple night, unfortunately the open floor design spread any sound from the bottom floor to the entire bldg, so if someone wakes up at 6am, for sure you will wake up as well. The site shows handicap accessible. I am not sure if there are rooms on the bottom floor, but you need to climb stairs for the other rooms, no elevator, so, not sure about accessibility. So, again, great location, wife (decorator) loved the decoration, but in my case, I just wanted to sleep in and rests after 2 weeks driving and the noise in the AM unfortunately did not help much. It is a small place so, if you have a family gathering and can occupy the 7-8 rooms, you will love it.
Casa Lila & Spa
4.3/510 Reviews
Lovely riad inside the Medina but also very close to the bus station. Decoration could be a bit updated but we definitely have the charm of a riad. I would have prefer to be able to go in and out without knocking at main the door entrance each team but I guess it’s for safety reasons. Breakfast is not crazy but not bad and in winter the turn on the fireplace wich make a very nice vibe. Staff is discret but friendly
