We just came back from Essaouira where we spent 2 nights at the Sofitel Essaouira. The hotel location is very convenient right on the beach and not far from the medina. The rooms are very big and very new. The hotel pool is nice and the staff is very professional. The hotel is not very attractive, it's a Sofitel, nothing... more

The hotel is well situated and the rooms are well appointed with very comfortable beds. I can understand reports of the hotel as soulless - I thought it had a stiff, unwelcoming feel. A couple I sat next to on the plane back to England had been given gift boxes to compensate for what they thought was the unfriendly character... more

We spent two nights here in March '08. Having spent a memorable few days in other Riads/boutique hotels in Marrakech & Essaouira, the Sofitel seemed very clinical and soulless in comparison. The hotel itself is very nice with a great swimming pool, loungers and hammocks. The hotel room was fairly standard and was clean and well kept. We ate lunch... more

We spent 10 nights at the Sofitel Mogador in July. This hotel has a perfect location, front of the beach, 5 minutes to the Old Medina. The design of the building is very smart, very peaceful. The private beach is perfect place to have a quiet stay in south Morocco. But they are two main issues. The 3 restaurants are... more

We stayed at this hotel for 5 nights. The hotel is very nice (as you'd expect from a Sofitel) and very well located, just 200 metres away from the medina. The rooms are very good, with air conditioning and a flat-screen tv. The pool is particularly enjoyable, with very good service and very relaxing (bear in mind that unless you're... more

We stayed here for our first night in Essaouira and adored it! The room was huge with a huge balcony overlooking the pool area so it was very quiet at night - and even during the day, it is well soundproofed. Check in was wonderfully smooth, fresh fruit, nuts and dates in the room with fluffy bathrobes and slippers provided.... more

Loved this hotel and Essaouira. We booked an ocean view room which was definitely worth the extra money. The rooms were a good size and very clean. The bed was also comfortable. There was a bowl of fruit and fresh water in the room every day. You can walk around in the fluffy robe they provide to go to the... more

No question that this is a good 5* hotel, offering the facilities and location exactly as it describes, as well as several personal touches such as a complimentary bowl of fruit in the room which was topped up every day.The rooms are spacious, beautifully fitted out, with comfortable beds and excellent bathrooms, as well as high speed WiFi connection. The... more

We booked a ocean view room in sofitel, for 4 days and i cant say enough how fantastic this hotel is. The entrance and lounge are very welcoming and as we checked in they offer us refreshing wet towel, drinks and biscuits. Our room was nice, clean and specious as well and the view was breath taking. The room had... more
