Top Bab el-Marsa Hotel Reviews

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,"

"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."
