My son had booked a nights stay at the Palazzo Desdemona online from our Riad in Marrakesh so it was a lovely surprise to find the hotel in such a great central location in this pretty seaside town. The greeting was very friendly and we were offered Moroccan tea and biscuits on arrival. The hall is spacious and adorned with... More

We regret not staying longer! The hotel is beautiful and the people working there is even better! They helped us arranging tours and also taking care of the baby! (Giving us a precious break at meal time). Great location, near from everything you want to see in the city. Very clean rooms, nice decoration. Totally recommended!

I stayed at the Palazzo Desdemona for three nights last week and had a wonderful time. The hotel is a beautiful riad that has been very carefully restored and modernised. Our luxury suite was a very large room with plenty of space for three adults. The staff were very welcoming and helpful and we appreciated their assistance in arranging a... More

We were staying in Marrakesh, got a bus to Essaouira for the day & decided to stay overnight as it was so much more inviting than Marrakech. Having had lunch of barbequed fish & prawns at one of the stalls on the port we strolled into the walled town to find a large hotel on our left & Palazzo Desdemona... More

Nice reasonably priced hotel ideally suited to explore the old town and the beach. The room was comfortable and clean, my only complaint being the plumbing with the shower in need of an upgrade. Having said that once you got the hang of it, not a problem. The staff were very friendly and attentive. I'd stay there again.

We stayed one night in the Terrasse Suite. The hotel was close to the edge of the Medina and parking was easy (next to the seafood stalls) and a 2min walk to the hotel. Greeted by mint tea and lovely small pastries. The lobby is a fantastic art cafe in itself and has a relaxed atmosphere. Lots and lots of... More

We were greeted with mint tea and delicious pastries. We had the room on the terrace - the Terrasse suite. The room was nice with a wonderful terrace. Unfortunately though, the room and bathroom smelled. The bathroom was not too clean too - there were hairs and I'm super eeky when it comes to hairs. It's a pity cos the... More

Very helpful staff. We felt cold in the evening in December and they immediately put a heater in our room so it was cosy when we came back from a meal out. The cheaper rooms are inside which is quite good as far as street noise goes. The hot water was a bit erratic and slow but it did work... More

The hotel is located in an idea position. Very easy to find. The owners are friendly and accommodating. The faults we found were the shower head broke as soon as we got there. Also, we were promised a balcony room but ended up in a room with windows that overlooked other rooms in the hotel, but also did not shut... More
