My husband just stayed here for one week as part of the Ganoa Music Festival in Essaouira, Morocco. He really enjoyed the charm and the central location as it is right in the medina and the heart of the action. He liked the quirky, imaginative approach to the decor and the simpleness of the hotel. He said it was clean... More

Recommended, good vibe and breakfast. Only frustration is lack of proper ensuite, no standing showers either. Great decor, comfortable rooms. More

Yes yes yes - there are numerous reviews here about the tattiness and even some comments about the low levels of cleanliness but all I can say is ... we LOVED Maisons des Artistes and stayed 4 nights there.
