Top Bab el-Marsa Hotel Reviews

Riad Rafeef

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay in a very traditional Riad, located down a few alleys in the heart of the medina a beautiful Riad awaits inside."

Le Médina Essaouira Thalassa Sea & Spa - MGallery Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Riad Emotion

10/10 Excellent

"C'est un tout petit Riad de 6 ou 7 chambres où l'accueil et le service tout au long de notre séjour fut chaleureux. Excellents petits déjeuner sur la terrasse. Grande chambre et grande salle bain. Vraiment bien situé."

Résidence Louzani

8/10 Good

"Cet emplacement est idéal, si vous voulez visiter le port aller dans les souk, et avoir des petits restos à proximité, tout se fait très bien à pied. Le personnel était très chaleureux et bienveillant . Toutefois, nos bémols sont les suivants : l’activité nocturne est incessante. Malheureusement, nous n’avons pas réussi à bien dormir les deux nuits, car le bruit est constant que ce soit les jeunes qui jouent à l’extérieur jusqu’à 1h du matin, suivie, de la musique, à fond de train, et que dire du chien qui hurle sa vie toute la nuit . Nous avions beau avoir des bouchons pour dormir, le bruit était trop intense et ce peu importe la chambre, car nos amis dormaient dans une autre chambre, et c’était la même chose pour eux. De plus, il n’y a pas d’air climatisé, ni de ventilation fourni. Les fenêtres n’ont pas de moustiquaire donc si vous voulez avoir un courant d’air vous devez ouvrir les fenêtres ce qui fait que les moustiques rentrent. Finalement, nous avons eu le malheur de trouver une Coquerel dans la cuisine. Donc en gros le gros l’emplacement et la vue est idéale si c’est ce que vous recherchez."
