Absolutely loved this hotel. It has this Maroccan touch in the design, absolutely perfect for those who love the life of Maroccans or curious to explore something different than the usual hotel. Its not far at all from the beach, max three minute walk, its also close to both bus stations, the one with walking distance and the other with a short taxi drive. Maximun ten minute walk along the beach to get to all the restaurants and ancient Medina. The staff was very helpful, they even let us change room without any extra charge. Breakfast was simple but good with the lovely maroccan mint chai served. The room didn't have any air conditioner, but that wasn't any problem at all, since Essaouira is colder than any other city in Marocco. Attentive staff for every need and they serve you with a sincere smile.

Malgré mon arrivée tardive, je fus accueillie par un grand sourire dans cet hôtel. Tout autour de moi attirait mon regard: le plafond en bois très typique ici, la céramique, se mariant avec des créations du patron de l'hôtel: impressionnants piliers en "tronc d'arbres" dont certaines branches accueillent des plantes... La chambre est spacieuse, la literie de grande qualité, la salle de bain joliment intégrée. La nourriture est à l'image de l'hôtel: joliment présentée, alliant tradition marocaine et innovation, très goûteuse. Les ingrédients sont de qualité et la propreté est très supérieure à celle qui est d'usage au Maroc. Le personnel a toujours le sourire et fait tout pour que chaque client profite au maximum de son séjour. Le patron est polyglotte : arabe, français, anglais, espagnol, italien, allemand. J'avais choisi cet hôtel pour la proximité de l'immense plage de sable fin accompagnée en juillet / août d'un vent permanent: je ne voulais pas supporter la canicule de Marrakech par ex, ou ... de la France. Je ne souhaitais pas résider dans la médina, car, si j'en apprécie le dynamisme lorsque je souhaite y flâner, j'apprécie d'être éloignée de la foule et du bruit le reste du temps. J'aurais apprécié dans la chambre un point d'éclairage plus important me permettant de lire ou d'écrire la nuit.

We stayed in the suite- which was great for a family of four. It's huge, spotless, very dim (unless you open the windows to let some light in) and full of extraordinary fittings. There's a tiled green and blue bathtub, a massive dresser in ornate carved wood and a balcony overlooking the street, which provided hours of entertainment for my four-year-old. (No need for TV!) The beds were very comfy, and even with two fold-ups for the kids, there was still loads of space. The shower took 5-10 minutes to get hot, but was worth the wait. The hotel isn't that close to the medina - about 3/4 of a mile - it's in a residential area of the city, and a 5-minute walk (or 10 minutes at child pace) from the beach, right to the place where the camels depart from! We usually walked along the beach to the medina. There's loads to see on the way, including two playgrounds. One day we took a horse and cart (loads pass right under the window of the hotel) - full of Moroccans rather than tourists. The hotel is family owned and run. Aziz - one of the owners and concierge - is incredibly helpful. With the chef away, he advised us on the nearest supermarket one day, had food delivered from a restaurant another day, and even had his mother cook his some lovely couscous another night. And the breakfasts were great - very generous ans really tasty. I think if you are looking for a sanitised version of Morocco, then this isn't it. But we loved the fact that it was so personal and so welcoming.

This beautifully designed hotel is located a 20 minute walk from the centre of Essouira but very close to the watersports end of the beach. Quiet despite being between 2 busy roads. Spotless inside and gorgeously designed rooms. Service was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious and substantial. Highly recommended.

L'accueil est formidable et dévoué dans cet hôtel au charme(s) marocain. Le gérant est une perle rare qu'il faut rencontrer. Je le recommande vivement.

Отель понравился - несмотря на относительную удаленность от медины (если можно применять слово ДАЛЕКО в Эс-суэйре :) ). Очень приятный персонал, интересный интерьер, хорошие (хотя и типично французские :) ) завтраки. Примерно равноудален от медины и развалин португальской крепости. Душ действительно специфичный :) но вполне приемлемый, горячая вода была всегда.

Hotel is traditioneel, mooi en authentiek. Personeel is vriendelijk. De douche mag wel een opknapbeurt gebruiken, maar de kamers en bedden liggen zijn erg goed en uiteraard schoon. Het is ontbijt is helaas zeer mager en betreft niets meer als koffie/thee/jus d'orange, stokbrood, smeerkaas en een hardgekookt eitje. Je kan op een 15min. lopen (aan de corniche/strand) een prima ontbijt scoren bij één van de cafe's. Kijkend naar de prijs-kwaliteitverhouding valt er niets te klagen.

We had a great stay at the Orson Welles. The hotel is really beautifully decorated in a traditional Moroccan style. The bathroom was especially unusual.

Took my wife to Essaouira to celebrate her birthday. Well received by multi lingual family owner, Aziz. Entrance a bit dull, but rooms brighter and well maintained. Firm comfortable beds and running hot/cold water. Genuine, traditional style and feel. Not much choice but good breakfast, served with Moroccon tea. Quite pleased with the hospitality shown by Aziz and staff, dispute the cross lingual challenge. Good basic accommodation and value for money.

personnel adorable et prêt à nous rendre service et nous satisfaire. Début de saison donc propreté relative: première chambre calamiteuse mais nous avons été surclassés.

Situated in a quiet part of town. Comfortable rooms with Moroccan decor. Friendly staff and nice breakfast. 10-15 minute walk to the Medina along the beach front. Although there was no restaurant at the hotel, there are plenty to choose from in and on the way to the Medina. 2.5 hour drive from Marrakech Airport with an excellent cab service which the hotel arrange for you.

in due abbiamo speso 26€ a notte con colazione inclusa, wi-fi gratuita e pulizie giornaliere della camera; la posizione dell'hotel è a 5 minuti a piedi dalla spiaggia e con un taxi in pochi minuti si è arriva Medina (volendo si può tranquillamente fare una passeggiata, ma quando si è pigri un taxi costa solo 10 DIRHAM....): tutto sommato possiamo ritenerci molto sodisfatti.
