Very good Riad attached to the "remparts" of Essaouira. To get the full essence of this Riad ask for the room on the top floor with view on the Ocean. The room is nicely decorated and is located just on a wonderful terrace with amazing sunset and ocean views. Staff is friendly and helpful. Recommended also for its more quiet... More

We stayed the night in Essaouira, at the Hotel Remparts , which is very well sited and has a very fine facade. The staff at remparts are so friendly and helpful On the restaurant terrace, attentive staff invite you to discover the refined cuisine, a tasty combination of colours and authentic flavours. The rooms were amazing and we all really... More

Located in the Heart of the Medina, the Riad offers easy access to the main square and the souk (10 min) as well as an easy way to the beach with it's bar's, and restaurants. The ramparts has the best sea view and an unobstructed view of the town and its monuments. Friendly staff and superb service delivered with timeliness,... More

At night it is like a motor cycle race track outside this hotel. The city authorities are insane to allow people to ride around like this in narrow streets at night. I stepped out of the hotel into the street the first night and was nearly killed by three motor cycle men (middle age, not young lunatics) scattering everybody out... More

The hotel is well located, great ocean views but the rooms and especially the bathroom needs updating. The shower was largely a handheld since it wouldn't stay attached to the holder with water that comes and goes both in pressure and temperature. They also lacked some basics like a hairdryer, curtains etc. Not to mention that the glass provided in... More

There are smokers in the lobby. Even the night receptionist smokes at the front desk which is kind of disgusting. Room is so so. Seems the curtains have never been washed. Nice view from terrace. Breakfast is so so. Fake honey. Location is good. Quiet. Islamic morning call to prayer goes on for 15 minutes at 5 am and wakes... More

We stayed here after staying in 2 terrific places in other parts of Morocco and we had been warned the room standards were perhaps not quite as good in Essaouira as they are in Marrakech .This we found to be the case however what the room lacked in amenities ( no safe, hairdryer or air conditioning ) was more than...

We weren't sure what to expect when we arrived at this Riad, but we were VERY pleasantly surprised! First off, this Riad is in a superb location - I don't think it gets any better than this in Essaouira - seriously. It was easy to find, and unlike in Marrakech, the people in Essaouira were very nice and helpful and... More

My husband and I stayed here for 3 days and LOVED it. We had read reviews of the hotel here on Tripadvisor before we arrived and followed suggestions to ask to see the different rooms they had available so we could pick. The rooms are all very different. We stayed on the very top floor in a beautiful room with... More

We stayed 2 nights at the Remparts. We had just spent 3 nights in a gorgeous Riad in Marrakech so we were a bit disappointed when we arrived at the Palais. What was great: The location- in a quiet street in the Medina. The entrance of the Hotel is beautiful. Traditional courtyard with basin. The view on the ocean. We... More
