It is beautiful raid house right by the sea, but a little old house, something is not working, even the TV. Best is very convenient location, medina just a minute. Roof terrace is wonderful with great sea view! We saw the rainbow on the sea when we had breakfast!

Because of the parking is offsite , be wary of bogus guides on the way to the hotel who harass you along the way, they try to collect a commission off of you.

Smelly and Noisy!

Despite being booked in for 3 nights I had to check out after 1 night. The entire place had a very strong odour of what is described as humid wood but actually smelt of vomit and a baby nappy! I spent most of my night sniffing a perfumes scarf to get through it. In addition, as their restaurant was in the courtyard with the rooms over looking it, it remained open and noisy till about 01.30. The windows and doors might as well be non existent as they didn’t provide any respite from the noise. Fortunately the staff at the reception were very understanding and did refund my money back and were apologetic however I would be very very cautious about booking in here unless you have a weak sense of smell and sleep deeply in any circumstances.

Very disappointed overall. No access of cars, I had to carry my two cases by foot for 1k from the public parking, and again when I left. The price was over rated for this room. No iron in the hotel, no help with luggage, brakefast was very poor, the food looked not fresh.

Rugged hotel with beautiful view

We stayed at five \"5 star\" hotels and riads throughout our stay, Hotel Palais de Ramparts did not deserve this lofty rating. The room was spectacular only for its view. I believe we stayed in only one of three rooms in the hotel with an ocean view, Once you got over the view, the \"senior suite,\" the second largest \"suite,\" was a smaller than average room that barely fit the queen bed, single bed, two chairs, and table. The closet, desk, and refrigerator were rendered unusable because they were blocked closed by the furniture.
The bathroom had a 6 foot long and deep bath tub, but the water pressure and temperature were too low to fill it up. The water pressure and temperature also varied, so my daughter missed her daily hot shower.
The center court was dark and dank with the only light coming from the opening 5 stories up. 2 of the 4 trees surrounding the fountain were dead. The fountain was empty and not turned on.
The Hamman was the bright spot. It was better than the one at the fancy spa in Marrakesh.

Magnificent View from 'Hotel Palais des Remparts'

We arrived at the Hotel Palais des Remparts to a warm welcome from the reception staff which included complimentary tea on the terrace. This might not be particularly novel but the view from the terrace is mind-boggling so it was a very memorable introduction to the hotel.
The hotel is very centrally located for most of what Essaouira has to offer, but it's also part of the sea wall and stands proud of everything around it.
The room was large and airy with a mammoth bed and comprehensively outfitted en-suite, all finished in an updated Moroccan style.
The breakfast was simple tasty, varied and filling but Essaouira has so many other eating opportunities I didn't try the hotel's restaurant.
I would certainly recommend this hotel and suspect it would be even better i the summer.

Riad in the old medina

In general we were disappointed as the hotel did not meet the expected previous rating reviews.We looked into changing hotels but others were much more expensive. Maybe as this is a smaller town expectations if you have come from Fes or Marrakech should be lower. Furniture was shabby, hotel towels did not look clean and there was no bath mat which made the floor very slippery when getting out of the shower.. The breakfast was nothing like shown in the pictures. On the positive side the staff were friendly and helpful and the view from the terrace was magnificent. Our comments may be colored somewhat by our previous riad in Fes which was much nicer and better value..

Great Location

We enjoyed our 2 day stay at this hotel a lot. The location is great right beside the medina for all shopping and near the old port for restaurants serving fish. Fantastic restaurant right beside hotel with great food and live music including traditional gnawe music and dancer. Breakfast on the hotel terrace was very enjoyable with ocean view. Beautiful beach nearby with waves. A lovely Riad that is well maintained.

Nice hotel but not five star

Room and bathrooms were large. Bathroom was a bit dark. There were only two electrical outlets in the main room and they were nowhere near the desk. Bathroom fixtures were a bit aged, but place was quite clean. Service was lackluster. I asked three times to have a bulb replaced in my room and it never got done. Breakfast up on the roof offers wonderful views but beware the seagulls!

Fri udsigt til havet

Meget dejligt ophold på en fin Riad i et lidt roligere kvarter end mange andre i den lille,smukke by Essauria. Som navnet angiver beliggende ved fæstningsværket med Atlanterhavet på tre sider. Især spektakulært fra tagterasserne, hvor vi nød morgenmad og sol i god læ.
Riaden har restaurant uden alkohol licens og et meget sympatisk personale. Er meget dejlig og vejbeliggenhed, men dog ikke luxury i Europæisk forstand.

Hôtel bien placé et vue splendide sur la mer en te

Après avoir initialement choisi l'hôtel atlas et spa 5 étoiles à essaouira, nous avons souhaité annuler la réservation une fois arrivé dans la chambre qui ne justifiait pas du tout le prix. Grâce à hôtels.com, nous avons trouvé ce joli riad de 27 chambres très bien placé dans la médina avec un accueil très chaleureux. En dehors de l'appel à la prière un peu long tôt le matin, c'était parfait et comme c'était en période creuse on a pu négocier un jaccuzi pour 2 au prix d'un et 1h00 au lieu de 30 min. Ils sont à l'écoute et très arrangeant. De plus la terrasse est formidable et offre une vue magnifique sur la mer. Petit déjeuner succulent et copieux. Bref je vous le conseille.

Buena ubicación pero pésimo mantenimiento

Nos hemos alojado mi familia y yo durante 2 noches en este hotel. He de destacar puntos positivos y negativos.
Positivos: la ubicación del hotel en la medina y cerca de la playa, la terraza con unas vistas increíbles , el edificio y el personal muy amable.
Los puntos negativos: el abandono de las instalaciones, la decoración de mal gusto, desayuno muy muy malo, ponen varias cosas pero la calidad es mala, hemos pedido zumo de naranja natural varias veces y lo que nos traen es zumo con mezcla y azúcar.
Nosotros cogimos 3 habitaciones porque eramos 5 personas. Una de ellas era claustrofobica, otra daba a una pared de vistas y la última no estaba del todo mal. Recomiendo ver antes las habitaciones si es posible.
Destaco la amabilidad del personal al cambiarnos una habitación al pedirla para estar todos juntos.
Llegamos a essaouira con intención de quedarnos más tiempo pero por el hotel hemos decidido quedarnos solo los dos días que hemos reservado al principio.
Nos ha sorprendido la no concordancia de las opiniones con lo que hemos visto en Internet.

Il riad un disastro

A parte la posizione centralissima e la disponibilità del personale( in realtà della ragazza che ci ha ricevuto e del ragazzo all entrata che fa di tutto per essere gentile!!) l albergo non merita le 5 stelle!!
Colazione squallida ( solo per marocchini) Coperta da cellophane e per niente mangiabile da noi italiani ... In più mi hanno rubato la carta di credito e i passaporti me li hanno messi in una cassetto della scrivania della reception perché non hanno una cassaforte in TUTTO L ALBERGO!!!
Vergognoso
E poi le asciugamani in camera : vecchie bucate e noi che eravamo in tre non le avevamo mai tutte contemporaneamente !!

IMPORTANT !! A l'attention du DIRECTEUR du palais des remparts votre employé de l'accueil un homme jeune fin plutôt grand a tenté de nous escroquer nous devions paye suite a la resa sur expédia 59€ + 3€ x2 de taxe ils nous a sorti une calculette et nous a demandé de regler 1365 dh soit 130€ environ dont plus de 600dh de taxz soit 60€ de taxe !!! Face a notre refus il s'est excusé dit avoir appele la directrice qui lui aurait dit de laisser tomber ses taxes supplémentaires !! Lamentable !! Cet homme est un voleur et profite de la crédulité des clients !! Très dommage pour le touriste déçu ou dupé par cette escroquerie !! Il n'en ai visiblement pas a son coup d'essai !! Merci d'être attentif sinon cela fera fuir vos clients !! Nous voulions rester encore 2 nuits supplementaires mais face a cet homme malhonnête nous avons préféré partir le lendemain matin !! Dommage car le Riad est magnifique le reste du personnel charmant le lieu magique

Essaouria 2 nätter

Vi bodde här under våra två dagar i Essaouria. Läget var riktigt bra, vi hade sjöutsikt från vårt rum och personalen var trevlig. Frukosten var okej, fanns dock inte så mycket pålägg att välja på mer än sylt och skrattande kon-ost. Kan rekommendera hotellets spa-avdelning med hamam och massage, men inte jacuzzin. Det som kändes lite konstigt var att vi båda gjorde en hamam- och massagekombination tillsammans, så vi fick ligga i samma rum under massagen, men det var bara en som jobbade där så den ena fick ligga och vänta en halvtimme medans den andra fick massage och tvärtom. Annars var hotellet bra

Schön renovierter Riad in der Altstadt

Tolle Dachterrasse, wir hatten ein riesiges Zimmer
Zur Altstadt hin. Achtung es gibt auch kleine innenliegenxe Zimmer nur mit Fenster zum Innenhof
Abends dort oft starker Essensgeruch
Frühstück auf der wubderschönen Dachterrasse war für unseren Geschmack sehr dürftig
Jeden Tag das Gleiche (marrok. Pfannkuchen, Mini Croassiant, Kuchen, Baguette, Butter, Marmelade)
Max. 2 Tassen Kaffe oder Tee (alles weitere musste man extra bezahlen)
