El Qdima is by far the best hotel to stay in the medina however it does not consist of a rating that it deserves for the quality of service offered by current owners during the last year. In turn, I insist you to disregard manifold of the ratings written earlier. We came as two different families on holiday together and this hotel offered welcoming, warm hosts, who have fantastic recommendations for food and plenty more as well; a nearby vicinity, for minute tasks such as having a excellent hangout and near fabulous restaurants, for foods like lobster, octopus, sardines, oysters, local’s soup and get the opportunity to purchase seafood (mainly fish) from the market. Personally, I have chosen to highlight the cheerful, caring owners for guiding us around this unfamiliar, unusual, unique region, which we were visiting for our first time. Lokman and Teresa passionately assisted us for any arousing assistance that was required as well as ones that would benefit us, making our stay much less stressful so in this spirit I would like to thank Lokman and Teresa dearly. The location is wonderful making access to anywhere in the whole medina in a brisk walk of an under a stable amount of five minutes. Featuring this made it a seconds decision whether to travel back to the hotel for any miniature task. Overall, the memories & experience is commended majorly because of the wonderful time that hotel staff offered to us. Everything above are the reasons that I recommend to stay here.

Viaje en familia
El hotel está bien situado. Hay sitios muy bonitos cerca, a los que puedes llegar andando sin problema. Por la noche descansamos muy bien, pues es muy tranquilo. Lo mejor fue el personal; todos fueron muy amables... La recepción, las cocineras... Mencionar especialmente a Zakariya, ya que mi niña de un añito se puso un poco enferma en el viaje y él nos ayudó con mucho cariño. MILLONES DE GRACIAS!!!

Fuyez c’est catastrophique
Fuyez!!! Une nuit horrible il faisait extrêmement froid, on vous fait payer en plus pour avoir un chauffage le comble, et en plus complètement défectueux,cassé pas de savon, une seule serviette pour tout. Aucun confort je suis revenue malade …et j’en passe on n’a même pas voulu rester déjeuner tellement l’expérience était mauvaise Vous trouverez beaucoup mieux à Essaouira Ça ne vaut pas du tout le prix payé
