Very nice and comfortable hotel. The interter is really stylish, the staff is hospitable. The location is quite convenient: the central street is a 1-minute walk away, the embankment is 5-7 minutes away. The bus station can also be easily reached in 10 minutes by walking just in a straight line. I had a very good impression of you, thank you!

Beautiful, very comfort and calm place to stay. You can feel that the owners thought about your experience and carefully selected each single detail in the room and riad. I will remember this place and definitely come back when in Essaouira. Wish the owners best of luck and kind and intelligent guests like they are themselves.

Perfect location close to the walls of the Medina, but also close to "all the action". Great view over the ocean and beach. Wonderful terrace for breakfast and chilling. The interior was cool, felt authentic. The staff was wonderful and very helpful. We had the best breakfasts of our Morocco trip here, with some fruit (we had been longing for it in other places before this!!). The room is spacious enough, and with ocean view.

Absolutely the most beautiful hotel with amazing design and decor, incredible bed, so luxurious and comfortable you felt like a sultan stepping into the room and being in it. The bathroom was stunningly beautiful too. Amazing bathtub and sink. The hammam, spa and massage was wonderful, and the restaurant, Riad and rooftop (with sea view) fantastic. Lovely airflow through the rooms, luxurious long curtains flowing with the breeze over our bed, Mumtaz Mahal is a place you want to spend a lifetime in. And the staff are so LOVELY! Especial thanks to Nouhaila at reception for her warm, helpful, gorgeous personality and service, and her lovely colleague on the other day at reception too. The place was spotless so huge thanks to the cleaning staff as well for making our stay so wonderful.
