Mumtaz Mahal

It’s a lovely riad with friendly staff. Natural light comes through from the glass ceiling. Our room was spacious and comfy. The breakfast included fresh strawberries, selection of pastries/bread topped with freshly squeezed orange juice was sublime.

I just love Essouira! From the people, food, hotels and everything. Mumtaz Mahal was such a fabulous hotel i have ever stayed. Full of charms! Clean and quiet. Magical India touch. Guys go there please.

We only went for the hamman we are a family of 5, 2 tennage girls and one boy , we pay for 5 and They put us all in the same small room girls half naked… I had to tell them thsat we need to be separated between my husband and son and my daughters and myself apparently they just wanted to finish fast.:. I can’t believe they just wanted to do the hamman in the same small room girls half naked with a very tiny transparent underwear… in a place that look nothing clean, it look dirty I just hope we didn’t got something fungus or something else look vry dirty do not recommend paying 300 dollars for the whole family at this dirty place. I just can understand how the put us all together they didn’t care when they are very conservative in exposing body parts they didn’t care mixing all family together males and females…

The main part of the Riad was beautiful and the location and rooftop breakfast was great; however, the WiFi was very unreliable and when I called down to get assistance, I was told they didn’t speak English and call back in the morning. I had to use my personal phone service for everything and at the price range of this stay was not acceptable.

The riad is beautifully ornate and from the outset extremely luxurious- the rooms are spacious, the bed was comfortable and the shower pressure was good. The location of the riad is close and walkable to local restaurants, streets and the beach. However, noise levels were extremely loud. The noise started at 08:00 with cleaners and continued until 22: 45 hours. There was never a point when the riad was peaceful. I appreciate it was Ramadan and a huge religious and cultural celebration. But the staff never addressed loud guests and screaming children. If you cannot bare door slamming BEWARE!!! On one occasion I had to go to reception and ask them to ask a family to silence their screaming child at 22:30 hrs! I appreciate riads echo and have poor sound proofing but this was at times unbearable. When you've committed to stay somewhere for 4 nights, to celebrate a week away- why would you not want peaceful, harmonious surroundings?? The breakfast was so disappointing- considering there was a restaurant in the riad for guests, the options for breakfast was bland. Multiple options of dry bread, boxed jam and a fried egg which is advertised as an omelette. The only pleasant part of the breakfast was the fresh juice. The coffee was poor and luke warm too. On two consecutive days I had to ask for pepper to be put in the pepper shaker, then got gaslit by the waiter who shook it upside down and tried to tell me there was pepper in it!!?? The apathy of staff was very obvious- most looked incredibly bored and tired. This doesn't inspire guests whatsoever.
