We took advantage of an Internet offer on the hotel website and got excellent value for money. The inside room overlooking the swimming pool was large and quiet with a sizeable and comfortable bed. Like me, the hotel has seen better days, but it still has a lot to offer. A short walk to the old town and the port, the beach is just over the road, a very good light lunch in its beachside restaurant and a decent breakfast. It's easy to drive to and they park your car across from the hotel in a chained-in supervised area. The staff were all smiling and helpful. I didn't like check in though, as they serve you a tea but take your credit card away for a print; I don't like losing sight of my credit card. The decor is a bit worn here and there, but at the internet price it's still excellent value for money. At that price I'd stay there again if visiting Essaouira. By the way, the shower is really powerful, but watch out for the temperature control, the hot water is REALLY hot.
Room Tip: If you want the sunsets, the sea view rooms; if you want quiet nights and mornings, the pool side.

Dear Sir,
First I want to thank you for taking time to let us know your comments; we read them with great attention.
Kindly know that the credit card print is just a grantee to complete your file, and it is not a debit.
It is a procedure in Accor's hotels all over the world.
I am delighted that you enjoyed your stay, and it will be a pleasure to receive you again in Le Médina Essaouira hotel Thalassa sea & spa.
In the meantime, please accept my sincere greetings.
Kind Regards,
