Hotels near Meteoric impact, Essaouira

You know when you walk into a room and think 'oh yes!' ? That's this hotel. It's about the view, but not just about the view. That view though: right up and down the beach, perfect for sunset. Going to sleep and walking up listening to the waves roll in. The hotel is 5 minutes' walk to the Medina and close to both CTM and Supratours bus stops. Just across from the entrance is a beach bar and sun loungers. The breakfast spread is well worth getting up for with a wide selection of Moroccan and French options. The best thing though: Imane on the reception desk. She could not have been more friendly and helpful and made a great stay even better. Shkran Imane!

After reading some of the reviews before staying at this hotel I have to say I'm not surprised. I totally agree with the comments that this is not a true 5 star hotel at all. The positives are the location, the pool area and the rooms (to an extent). From one way its only a short walk to the medina and from the other it's a short walk to the beach bars. The pool area is well maintained and very attracting. The rooms are a good size with comfy bed and powerful shower and they are very clean. However, we started off by having to change rooms as the room we were first given had a chipped bath - all the paint had come up off the bottom of the bath so it was unusable, the staff solved this pretty quickly by offering us a room of the same standard one floor above. Nevertheless, I find it shocking that a 5 star hotel would not maintain their rooms in the first place. We found the cleaning staff and concierges very friendly. Some of the breakfast staff and beach staff, less so. One day we sat on the beach beds and felt looked down on and were not treated as well as some of the other guests. This really put us off and prevented us using this area again. Not sure if this is because we are a younger/mixed couple? Overall, the hotel is lacking in a lot of areas and the Accor group need to look into this. I would definitely visit Essaouira again but would probably rent an apartment since the beach and medina have so many options anyway!

I spent a couple of nights with my wife after doing a country tour. So, the trip was to relax. The place itself and owner were very polite, breakfast was great. But there is always a but. When I booked, the main thing was parking. The description showed parking and that is incorrect. You have to park outside the medina and pay for it (US$5-7/night), then you need to hire a cart person to take your luggage into the hotel (unless you don't kind carrying yourself) About US$2. Since the place was to sleep and relax for a couple night, unfortunately the open floor design spread any sound from the bottom floor to the entire bldg, so if someone wakes up at 6am, for sure you will wake up as well. The site shows handicap accessible. I am not sure if there are rooms on the bottom floor, but you need to climb stairs for the other rooms, no elevator, so, not sure about accessibility. So, again, great location, wife (decorator) loved the decoration, but in my case, I just wanted to sleep in and rests after 2 weeks driving and the noise in the AM unfortunately did not help much. It is a small place so, if you have a family gathering and can occupy the 7-8 rooms, you will love it.

Lovely riad inside the Medina but also very close to the bus station. Decoration could be a bit updated but we definitely have the charm of a riad. I would have prefer to be able to go in and out without knocking at main the door entrance each team but I guess it’s for safety reasons. Breakfast is not crazy but not bad and in winter the turn on the fireplace wich make a very nice vibe. Staff is discret but friendly

Riad Chbanate is amazing! Every Riad in Morocco astounds me with its style, graciousness, and comfort. With gorgeous architecture, the rooms at the Chbanate are more romantic than most, and I think it would be perfect for a honeymoon. But even at 72, I could appreciate the sensual decor. Service exudes that Moroccan warmth. Smiles abound, led by the irrepressible Samira, who was very charming. Greg and Hichen were also helpful and fun. Breakfasts were delicious and elegant, served in a lovely room off the courtyard. We had a perfect stay. The Riad Chbanate was so wonderful, I could spend my entire holiday never leaving the Riad, except for dinner and to listen to music. It is a great place for a respite.

Unglaublich schöner Innenhof mit Blick in den blauen Himmel mit 3 Galerien. Hier gibt’s einfaches Frühstück. Kaffee mit Heißer Milch und 2 typische marrokanische “Pfannkuchen” oder so etwas ähnliches und frisch gepressten Orangensaft. Honig, Marmeladen und Butter darf man sich selbst nehmen. Es gibt noch grüne Oliven, Tomaten u Gurken u gekochte Eier. Es gibt in einem 2ten Innenhof ein Restaurant mit offenem Kamin. Abends Ende März ist es trotzdem irgendwie schön am Feuer zu sitzen. Essen ist gut, auch der marrokanische Wein ist zu empfehlen. Auf dem Dach des Hotels kann man sich auf einfachen Loungesessel im Schatten entspannen oder auf Liegen Sonnenbaden. Die Lage ist unweit vom Südlichen Tor und perfekt gelegen. Der Charme des Hotels ist sein altes Gebäude. Dementsprechend sind aber auch, die in Neubauten standardmäßig angebotenen Ausstattungen wie Fernseher oder Klima, oft nicht mit dabei. Einfache Zimmer mit Kleinem Schrank, Tisch und Couch, Ablage und eine große Matratze. Einige Zimmer liegen nicht zur Gasse, sondern zum den Innenhöfen. Trotz hölzernen Flügelfenster und Tür teilweise nicht so hell. Das Bad spartanisch mit Toilette und Waschbecken + Dusche; jedoch bei mir ohne Duschvorhang. Durch einige Tagesausflügler aus Marrakesch teilweise auch nachts und sehr früh nicht zu überhörende Abreisende. Mir war der Flair wichtiger, als der für mich normalerweise gewohnte Luxus, den ich sonst auf Geschäftsreisen einfordere. Als Bayer kenne ich das Glockenläuten der Kirchturmuhr; hier ruft der Muezzin bei Sonnenaufgang zum 1.mal relativ leise und dann noch 4 x bis Sonnenuntergang.

The hotel is five minutes from the bus down and the central block. Because it is not the peak season, it is very quiet, the room is very clean and clean, and there is a balcony to sunbathe. Breakfast We also enjoy the sunny and beautiful coffee fresh orange juice on the roof. A seagull has been staring at the butter on our table, hahaha. The boss is a passionate Frenchman, very enthusiastic, and has been patiently pointing out the snacks on our street and the restaurants that can watch the sunset with good wines. We followed the guidance and all got very authentic food. The people of Essaouira were more enthusiastic than the Marrakech people. In short, very happy. Also enjoy it. Here are a few of the approximate environments in which hotels and rooms are shot.

In a good local hotel, wake up in the morning by the seagull, breakfast to the restaurant on the top floor, facing the sea, the waves rolling, the seagulls coiled, the sun is shining, it is difficult to describe the beauty.
