Top Bab el-Marsa Hotel Reviews

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."

Riad Rafeef

10/10 Excellent

"Riad Rafeef is a very interesting riad, and the decoration was cool to see. The management had put in a few years to renovate the place and you can definitely see the effort and thought put into the design. As with all of our stays in Morocco, the staff here was exceptional and very helpful. I am very grateful to the staff and the gentleman who had welcomed us, answered all questions throughout the stay, and helped us with our heavy luggage (sorry!)."

Dar L'Oussia

10/10 Excellent

"Really really top staff and great people . Loved every second of it We went with family and everyone loved the hotel location and the breakfast time"

Le Médina Essaouira Thalassa Sea & Spa - MGallery Collection

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed early August and loved this hotel. The renovations are beautiful and this hotel will be amazing once it is all completed. There was some noise around the pool deck but it was manageable. I really loved all the palm plants and the pool area is lovely. This hotel is in a great location and you can easily walk around and see the sites. Highly recommend! We really enjoyed our time and the staff are helpful."

Dar Loulema

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, great and helpful staff."

STE PERLE D'EAU

Riad Sidi Magdoul

10/10 Excellent
