Top Bab el-Marsa Hotel Reviews

Résidence Louzani

10/10 Excellent

"As two female travellers and our first time in Morocco, we were very happy to stay in this place on our first few nights. It was spacious and clean and the kitchen fully stocked for us to use. The rooftop view was wonderful to watch the sunset from. The staff was exceptionally friendly, and helped us with our luggage, storing it for us when we checked out for much of the day as well. It is a short walk to the beach and Medina. We felt safe and really enjoyed our stay, we would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet place - location wise it was perfect. Our room could have hosted a larger group/family as well."

Hotel Emeraude Essaouira

8/10 Good

"The staff were great and the breakfast up on the terrace lovely. The shower was good. It is located right in the medina so a 5 minute walk to the souks. The room is very small and stairs steep so not really suited to people in their 60's but we are fit. I prefer a more roomy place but if I were in my 20's or 30's would stay there again"

Riad Emotion

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice Riad,"

Le Médina Essaouira Thalassa Sea & Spa - MGallery Collection

Riad Sidi Magdoul

8/10 Good

"J'ai bien apprécié l'ambiance, la propreté et le personnel. Le seul petit point, c'est que ça mentionnait que le petit déjeuner et inclus et il ne l'était pas. Et que pour en avoir un (en payant) faut le commander 24 hrs à l'avance."

"Great location. Very helpful. Just renovated."

Dar Nafoura Mogador

10/10 Excellent
