Personeel is vriendelijk. De douche mag wel een opknapbeurt gebruiken, maar de kamers en bedden liggen zijn erg goed en uiteraard schoon. Het is ontbijt is helaas zeer mager en betreft niets meer als koffie/thee/jus d'orange, stokbrood, smeerkaas en een hardgekookt eitje. Je kan op een 15min. lopen (aan de corniche/strand) een prima ontbijt scoren bij één van de cafe's. Kijkend naar de prijs-kwaliteitverhouding valt er niets te klagen. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 8 Aug 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Agéable Très bon séjour à Essaouira et hotel tranquille et juste bien pour dormir et se rafraichir. ##### Verified traveller ### 2/10 Terrible #### priit, london 23 May 2015 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very bad Not go this hotel...hotel smelling...tv not working...not buffet...only 1egg and koffe give morning ##### priit ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 22 May 2015 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Room comfort #### Ich habe einen Balkon auf die Hauptstrasse gehabt.

Auch der Strand ist 10 Minuten entfernt. Also weder Strand- noch Medinahotel. Vor dem Hotel ist eine Straße, dahinter eine Gasse. Ab 8.00 Uhr wird es lebhaft. Das Hotel selbst ist sehr zu empfehlen, die Lage aber nur für Surfer sehr gut, weil die Surfschulen auch am südlichen Stadtrand liegen. ##### Verified traveller ### 4/10 Poor #### PATRICE 6 Nov 2014 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Orson not Well Les photos ne correspondent pas a la realite.

Well received by multi lingual family owner, Aziz. Entrance a bit dull, but rooms brighter and well maintained. Firm comfortable beds and running hot/cold water. Genuine, traditional style and feel. Not much choice but good breakfast, served with Moroccon tea. Quite pleased with the hospitality shown by Aziz and staff, dispute the cross lingual challenge. Good basic accommodation and value for money. ##### Gorden ### 4/10 Poor #### assia 13 Aug 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Services decevant Des notre arrivée on nous a installé dans une chambre ou la tv ne fonctionnait pas.

Pour ce qui est de l hygiène il n y a rien a redire . Nous avions réservé l hotel pour 10 jous mais nous l avons quitté au bout de 8 jours. ##### assia ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ward 7 Aug 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastic getaway Absolutely loved this hotel. It has this Maroccan touch in the design, absolutely perfect for those who love the life of Maroccans or curious to explore something different than the usual hotel. Its not far at all from the beach, max three minute walk, its also close to both bus stations, the one with walking distance and the other with a short taxi drive. Maximun ten minute walk along the beach to get to all the restaurants and ancient Medina. The staff was very helpful, they even let us change room without any extra charge. Breakfast was simple but good with the lovely maroccan mint chai served. The room didn't have any air conditioner, but that wasn't any problem at all, since Essaouira is colder than any other city in Marocco. Attentive staff for every need and they serve you with a sincere smile. ##### Ward ### 4/10 Poor #### J 27 Jul 2014 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Room comfort #### Nothing special Decent hotel, however the room was really dark, poorly lit.

La literie est confortable, le petit dèj plutôt bon une fois que le personnel a compris que nous préférions les pains marocains aux viennoiseries industrielles, emplacement correct (25min de marche de la médina, 10min de la plage) mais chambres donnant sur le boulevard très bruyantes (simple vitrage). Le personnel était très serviable et coopératif, nous ont laissé choisir notre chambre et nous ont aidé à planifier des activités (hammam, excursion) mais à des tarifs un peu surgonflés hélas. Le gros problème fut la salle de bain : 3 fuites d'eau nous ont contraintes à dormir avec des boules Quies, l'une d'elle ayant créé une grande flaque au sol. Il s'est écoulé 4 jours avant que la plus grosse fuite ne soit réparée. Beaucoup d'humidité dans la chambre car la salle de bain n'est pas une pièce totalement séparée hélas. Bref, une expérience très moyenne un peu compensée par la gentillesse du personnel. ##### Lise ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 31 Mar 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Room comfort #### Enkelt hotell i rustik stil Enkelt men helt ok hotell med vänlig och hjälpsam personal. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 13 Mar 2014 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort personnel adorable et prêt à nous rendre service et nous satisfaire.

Comfortable rooms with Moroccan decor. Friendly staff and nice breakfast. 10-15 minute walk to the Medina along the beach front. Although there was no restaurant at the hotel, there are plenty to choose from in and on the way to the Medina. 2.5 hour drive from Marrakech Airport with an excellent cab service which the hotel arrange for you. ##### Verified traveller ### 4/10 Poor #### oma 15 Feb 2014 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### il suffirait de peu?? hotel en perte de vitesse peu entretenu salle de bain limite carrelage noir j ai du decrasse moi meme pas de buffet petit dejeuner le personnel tres gentil 2 personnes uniquement la femme de menage ne passe pas tous les jours hotel bien situe quartier secure et pres de la plage ##### oma ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 11 Jan 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Moroccan Experience Enjoyable. ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Tov.A.O. 5 Dec 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Romslig. Hyggelig personale. Gammelt og slitt hotell, men rent, og herlige utsmykninger. Hadde en egen stil. I forhold til prisen et bra alternativ til opphold i Essaouira. ##### Tov.A.O. ### 6/10 Okay #### Lukas 3 Nov 2013 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### you get what you pay for After our stay at the Hotel Orson Welles we're not quite sure what our final verdict is. We were looking for a cheap hotel near the beach, and I guess that is exactly what we got. The room looks a little dated and there's not much space to store stuff, but what bothered us the most is that the bathroom is not in a separate room, but just behind a wall inside the room. To sum it we need to say that our stay at the hotel was okay, but we're not sure if we would recommend it someone else. ##### Lukas ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [L' Amandier Hotel & Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-L-Amandier-Hotel-Villas.h35714809.Hotel-Information) > > [Baberrih Hospitality Palaces & Resorts](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sidi-El-Jazouli-Hotels-BABERRIH-PALACE-HOSPITALITY-RESORT.h89967523.Hotel-Information) > > [Taj Atlas Wellness Boutique Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Taj-Atlas-Wellness-Boutique-Hotel-Spa.h37253839.Hotel-Information) > > [Riad Kafila](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Essaouira-Hotels-Riad-Kafila.h19740107.Hotel-Information) > > [Darzayna](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Essaouira-Hotels-Darzayna.h4395231.Hotel-Information) > > [Dar Dayana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Essaouira-Hotels-Dar-Dayana.h4436543.Hotel-Information) > > [Pickalbatros White Beach Taghazout - Adults Friendly 16 Years Plus - Ultra All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taghazout-Hotels-Pickalbatros-White-Beach-Resort-Taghazout.h39641578.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Taghazout ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taghazout-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Taghazout-Bay.h67291130.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa de l'O](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Essaouira-Hotels-Villa-De-LO.h10007032.Hotel-Information) > > [Domaine de la Roseraie Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ouirgane-Hotels-Domaine-De-La-Roseraie-Resort-Spa.h2645687.Hotel-Information) > > [RIAD AMANA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Essaouira-Hotels-RIAD-AMANA.h91912256.Hotel-Information) > > [Widiane Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bine-El-Ouidane-Hotels-Widiane-Suites-Spa.h3572368.Hotel-Information) > > [Dar Danse the Bubble on the Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Akermoud-Hotels-Dar-Danse-The-Bubble-On-The-Beach.h16018963.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Jardin Des Douars](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aguerd-Hotels-Le-Jardin-Des-Douars.h1431262.Hotel-Information) > > [Baboucha, Ethnic Chic Villa in Essaouira](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aguerd-Hotels-Baboucha.h33679098.Hotel-Information) > > [Caverne d'Ali Baba](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Essaouira-Hotels-Caverne-DAli-Baba.h3864238.Hotel-Information) > > [Diar Illi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Touama-Hotels-Diar-Illi.h45749356.Hotel-Information) > > [L'Oliveraie de Marigha](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ouirgane-Hotels-LOliveraie-De-Marigha.h3814782.Hotel-Information) > > [The Capaldi Hotel And Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lalla-Takarkoust-Hotels-The-Capaldi-Hotel-And-Spa.h11677099.Hotel-Information) > > [Dar Almajula](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agadir-Hotels-Dar-Alamajula.h105342438.Hotel-Information) > > [Tasguayan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tafedna-Hotels-TASGUAYAN.h105979570.Hotel-Information) > > [Inara Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-INARA-CAMP.h101275834.Hotel-Information) > > [Tizi N'Ouirgane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Tizi-NOuirgane.h37931500.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Tangier Al Houara Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tangier-Hotels-Hilton-Tangier-Al-Houara-Resort-Spa.h27721577.Hotel-Information) > > [La Gazelle d'Or](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taroudannt-Hotels-La-Gazelle-DOr.h9674061.Hotel-Information) > > [Kasbah Bab Ourika](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ourika-Hotels-Kasbah-Bab-Ourika.h15079981.Hotel-Information) > > [Riad Raoud Rayhan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Essaouira-Hotels-Riad-Raoud-Rayhan.h13169269.Hotel-Information) > > [Suite Azur Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Essaouira-Hotels-Suite-Azur-Hotel.h42005074.Hotel-Information) > > [Breathtaking Atlas Mountain views only an hour away from Marrakech](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ouirgane-Hotels-Breathtaking-Atlas-Mountain-Views-Only-An-Hour-Away-From-Marrakech.h34271654.Hotel-Information) ---
