We spent a week at this hotel, there was nothing wrong with it whatsoever BUT it had no atmosphere and felt more like a business hotel. If you like this type of place you will not be able to fault it, but if you want to experience Essaouira properly and get the feeling of Morocco find yourself a nice riad... more

We have just returned from a wonderful stay at this hotel (Sept 2009). We booked a standard room through expedia. I was slightly concerned when booking as the form indicated a twin room and offered no other choice for standard room. i decided to go through with the booking and just put a request for a double bed. The room... more

We have stayed in the hotel from 12th until the 19 th of August. When we checked in (comming from Marrakech) it was about 7 p.m. and our room was not ready yet. Without any explanation or excuses we had to wait. After 10 minutes we became irritated and they gave us another room.But that was only the start. The... more

The newest of about 4 allegedly 5* hotels in an old arab fishing town that is alive with people. On arrival the hotel is stylish and grand, reception and staff very polite, helpful and efficient. We booked a room with a sea view which looked over the main beach and the coast road, not noisy just active. My main criticisms... more

We have returned from Essouira today - we had a wonderful time. We stayed in the Atlas Hotel which was in the new town - it had a pool which was great. It was very windy so we would recommend a fleece or jacket for the evening as although the temperature is in the low 20s, the breeze makes it... more

Me and my partner had a lovely ten days in Essaouira.When we arried we were told we had a free upgrade to a room with a sea view (beautiful views). The room was huge and modern. The hotel is lovely to just relax at and spend days around the pool. Would reccomend the spa treatments too, you get treated well... more

We arrived in Essaouira in the evening without having booked a hotel so didn't have much time to investigate fully. We chose the Atlas Essaouira & Spa as it looked clean and tidy with good facilities. We spent 3 nights in Essaouira to escape the constant hustle of Marrakech. The Atlas is designated a 5 star hotel. It could be... more

The hotel looks great - very clean and modern. On first impressions, it was much further than 10 minutes walk from the Medina (where all the restaurants/bars/souks etc are) however - we estimate it was between 20 and 25 minutes walk - although this is along the beach so a lovely walk. The Sofitel is along the same round but... more

The hotel is nice and big with several restaurants. We stayed there for 4 nights. It was definitely not a 5 star hotel. More a 3 and a half. The cooked food at the breakfast buffet was pretty bad. The staff behind reception were not that friendly or helpful. It was good for the price but not if you're looking... more
