Very relaxed little place with a clean room and excellent, really friendly and helpful service.  Room was a little basic and perhaps not of the highest build quality but had a good comfortable bed and is ideally located in the medina. Overall superb value for money in a lovely little town.

We stayed here for 3 nights in October and it was a beautiful hotel. Very well situated (we wandered a bit, as we missed the sign a few times, so look carefully for it!) in the center of the medina. The room were beautifully decorated with stained glass windows, a decorative fireplace, vaulted wood-beamed ceilings, and carved cedar doors. The... More

We stayed at Caverne d'Ali Baba for 6 nights. I accidently booked a twin room, which the Hotel Manager changed into a double room (actually a room for 3 people!) without hesitation and at the same price. Great Service though. Also the breakfast was excellent and served in the Salon. The Riad is located in the middle of the Medina... More

Ali Baba is an old Riad, or walled private house, converted to a hotel. Located in the heart of the Medina, or old walled city, it is set back from the street and closely walled in, so street noise is not a problem. Staff are very accommodating to traveller requests. French language is fluently spoken, English less so but communication... More

We stayed here in Septmeber, Was not so busy in the hotel so we were able to look at most of the rooms and pick the best one. Great service, we only stayed one night and paid £15-16. The room was the nicest one. Beautifully decorated, with a four posted bed, moroccan themed. The shower room was small, but did... More

We had a wonderful stay and Haffani (owner?) was very kind and helpful, all the people there were nice. Good location at the main street of the Medina. Rooms quiet nice, large for Moroccan standards, real bathroom (real separate room with door) . We had wonderful stay and we would return without hesitation.

Visited Caverne d'Ali Baba in August and had a fantastic time. Room was lovely and clean, staff amazingly friendly. Great position for beach and medina, right in the thick of the action. Didn't have evening meal, but breakfast was plentiful. Strongly recommend.

Excellent location on the main drag in the Medina. Helpful manager and staff, and when it rained, which it did, we had dinner ni the hotel restaurant. Excellent food.

I recommend everyone to stay in Caverne d'Ali Baba. It is a fascinating Riad located in the very Centre of Essaouira medina, close to all best places you want to see. Rooms are clean and well equipped and the staff is professional and polite. There is also free wifi! And the place is not expensive at all!! I was there... More
