Great location right next to the Medina. But beyond that, I would NOT call this place 4 stars. The bed was very shaky for 2 people, the bathroom was quite dirty, the flooring was all tile, the building is quite dilapidated. I had to place tissue paper in the door to stop it from making noise due to the wind and the toilet ran all night. This place should be 3 star max.

The property is very old and not renovated. There are no stairs. I booked a suite. It was sooo dirty, the balcony like never opened. No internet, phone, no cooler, I had walk down 3 floors to go to front if I just need an extra towel. It was a horrible experience and no even said we are sorry.

Good spot.
The hotel is in a great spot. Close to the beach and the medina. I’m sure it will be a great place in the summer. We went just before new year (winter) and was really quiet. The hotel overall is a bit tired.

Great location, breakfast and nice property
The room was nice. Clean. Great breakfast buffet and location as on the beach as right beside the medina. Only thing I did not like was the rooms were hot even if cool outside. If no air conditioning in the room it would be a good idea to have windows or doors with screens to allow cool air to circulate in the rooms and still allowing your guests to feels secure with sleeping with the windows or doors open or invest in air conditioning units in the rooms. It was difficult to sleep comfortably at night as the rooms were too hot and not in a millions years would I be crazy enough to sleep in a room in a hotel while leaving the doors wide open.

We were severely disappointed with this hotel. For the rate we paid, we were expecting a clean, comfortable, well kept hotel. Unfortunately upon checking in, we were directed to our rooms which were out the back, not connected to the main hotel. They more resembled a motel. The rooms we clean, but aged and outdated. The gardens and paths are unkept with weeds and grass growing from all areas. The external condition of the hotel looks nothing like the photos. The building is run down, and needs a lot of work to bring it up to scratch. We stayed one night and cancelled the following two which we had booked. We won’t be recommending this hotel.

Long weekend
My wife and booked a long weekend at the hotel. The position was excellent being next to the old town, the beach and nearby restaurants that served alcohol.The hotel itself had obviously seen better days. Whist the location and the size of the rooms was fine and everything worked it was looking very tired and in desperate need of some modernisation and decor. Breakfast was very basic and if you arrived later there was little left. There was also a nightclub attached which was very noisy so light sleepers be prepared.That said in the chalets away from the main hotel it was not too bad .Overall for the price we paid we could not complain..

Perfect Location for the Medina
Hotel Des Iles is a fairly basic hotel which is starting to show it's age but it is in the perfect location to go to and from the medina for meals and shopping, for this reason alone we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again

Great location if you want to be out of the busy city. About a 10 minute walk to Jemaa El Fna. Good buffet breakfast, decent restaurant, and friendly staff. Also very safe as the hotel is surrounded by a wall and has security at the front gate. Overall I very much enjoyed the stay.

Excellent choice for Essaouria Relaxing/Shopping
I have stayed at Hotel des Iles for more than 20 years and this was the first time in the main building. Rooms had been remodeled, new decor, new locks on door, great bathroom-- esp. big tub and excellent shower. Room of sufficient size for comfort and mobility. I saw the rooms around the pool that I always used to stay in and while larger, due to wet season it was far better to stay in main hotel. Restaurant was expensive and we ate there only once as a result; breakfast was fine with combination of Moroccan and Western breakfast choices. Excellent for convenience to beach and to souks and medina.
