Borj Mogador

We have stayed in Essaouira many times over the years and stayed in a variety of locations and accommodation. This time we chose the Borg Mogador for budget reasons. The hotel is very reasonably priced. As we already knew the location we were very happy with the choice although it might not suit everyone. The hotel is located around a 25 min walk from the historic medina and about 10 mins from the beach. It’s in the ‘new town’ which again suited us fine as we enjoy seeing normal life and using the local shops. The hotel is on a fairly busy main road which did not bother us, we enjoyed watching the world go by from our balcony. There is some noise from the road but this didn’t bother us. The staff are all amazing, really friendly and welcoming. Can’t praise them all highly enough. Our room at the front of the hotel was adequate for 4 nights stay. Shower room a little small but not a problem. Room and hotel very clean. A basic breakfast of coffee, juice, pastry, bread and eggs is included in the cost and can be taken at the cafe attached to the hotel. We took our breakfast tray up to the room to eat on the balcony. Maids cleaned the room daily to a high standard. The cafe is lovely and the staff so friendly. Lovely coffee and great prices. Sports on the tv. Really cheap little local shops, takeaways and restaurants within a few minutes walk. Large Carrefour supermarket about 10 mins walk away. Although some distance away from the medina taxis are cheap and plentiful. Have already recommended this hotel to friends who also visit often. Thank you for a lovely stay, we will be back!
