All was not as appeared at first glance. The decor was good with some attention to detail appropriate to region but equipment was lacking, eg towels, safe, air conditioner/heater, hair dryer. Breakfast was served on roof terrace with no indoor option and there was a biting Atlantic wind. We and the other diners sat in our outdoor jackets/coats. There was... More

I had been to Essaouira before and loved it so much more the second time around because of the hotel. So close to everything, can see the ramparts from the room. and is only a 2 mintue walk to any shop or restaurant. The hotel is very clean and well kept, spacious and light. Breakfast was the usual bread selection,... More

We love Essaouira and this hotel topped off our holiday. The locations was ideal, breakfast on the roof terrace magical, staff attentive yet afforded you your privacy. Definitely go back there again

Excellent location in medina - just a few steps from the main square & a short stroll to the fishing harbour & beach. Fabulous views from the rooftop terrace over the ramparts to the sea & of the medina on the other side. Comfortable rooms with good mattresses & large bathrooms. Charming, friendly staff who go out of their way... More

Perfectly located hotel. Great terrasse with a view on the ocean and the island of Mogador, the remparts and the old city. The personnel is good. Rooms are comfortable and in the winter they bring you a heater for the rooms. The patio is very comfortable and they serve a nice breakfast on the terrasse outside in the morning.

I absolutely love the Palais des Remparts. I stayed here in the late 1980's when it was just the Hotel des Remparts, a very simple inexpensive place that even a Peace Corps volunteer (as I was then) could afford. Wow, what a transformation! It was totally re-done in 2010, which is great to see since it's a historic property, nearly... More

Excellent location, easy to find in the Riad, very comfortable walking around at night in this town and finding the hotel. More of a hotel than a Riad, it is not as intimate as other places we stayed in Morocco. The view from the terrace is stunning, could not be many better in Essaouira - breakfast on the terrace, tea... More

Nice location, near the south west city wall and so the beach. Quietish although a barking dog last night and the call to prayer can interrupt. Friendly staff and nice clean room. Lovely roof terrace overlooking the sea and medina. Tasty breakfast. We didn't eat in but those that did looked happy (alcohol available). We were upgraded from a basic... More
