Reviews of Hotel majestc 2 stars

Location

⚠️ “STAY AWAY – This place should not even be called a hotel” This so-called “hotel” was honestly closer to a nightmare than accommodation. The basics were missing or disgusting: towels had to be requested from reception, no soap was provided, and toilet paper was almost always running out. The toilet was filthy, often left with pee and even feces, and the stench carried all the way to our room. The shower was rusty, moldy, and full of humidity because of no ventilation. Furniture was old, broken, and depressing. WiFi did not work at all. Sleeping was impossible. The rooms are not soundproof, doors are so squeaky that every time another guest went in or out, we woke up. Being in the Medina only made it worse — constant noise, even with the windows shut. The atmosphere felt more like a prison than a holiday. There was even a midnight curfew. The front door was locked after 12:00, and when we returned the receptionist smugly told us he had forgotten about us because the other guests were asleep. When we asked if we could come back later than midnight, his “answer” was: “You can come back at 2, 3, 5… if I hear the knock, I’ll open.” Meaning we could have been locked out in the street. To make matters worse, the night receptionist was rude, sarcastic, and downright creepy — at one point even asking us where we “wanted to go at night,” as if it was suspicious for guests to enjoy the city after dark. Dirty, noisy, smelly, with rude staff and prison rules — Majestic Hotel is one of the worst places you could possibly stay. Avoid it at all costs. There are far better hotels in Essaouira for the same price or less.

The only main good point of this hotel is the central location, in the heart of the old town of Essaouira.

I was really hoping for a good experience, but the stay didn’t go well. One of the beds was in bad shape, with a piece of wood sticking out that made it really uncomfortable. I ended up sleeping on the floor because it was hurting my back. There was no toilet paper available in the room, and with only two showers shared between more than ten rooms, it became quite inconvenient. Also, the place isn’t suited for older people. The stairs are very steep, and there’s no support or help to make the access easier. It might work for someone just looking for a cheap one night stop, but I wouldn’t recommend it for families or anyone expecting a basic level of comfort.

In downtown

No soap, no toilet paper, rusty covers gave me allergy, poor wifi access, no sink in the shared bathroom and an impolite receptionist.

It was clean, and well located

Nothing

Cleanliness and Location

We stayed in the upstairs double room. Shared bathroom was clean. Beds comfy. The view of the beach was amazing. Lovely staff.

The roof had a good view.

General vibe was like a posher version of hotel Cecil

The clerk at the reception is a really nice man, very communicative. The location is simply perfect. The rooms are cosy and comfortable.

Having a place to shower in another level and the very weak light in the ceiling which is not enough to read a book.

Really cheap price for a central position, so you get what you pay for. The staff at the reception is very kind and supportive though, and the rooftop has a beautiful view (but nothing else).

I didn't expect luxury, but the minimum threshold wasn't fully met (toilet paper always finished in the bathrooms, no towels, no minimum decoration in the room or place to hang clothes, nothing on the rooftop to enjoy it...)

Old school hotel with some nice high ceiling rooms and a terrific terrace/roof

No seating or shade on the roof terrace

The Manager for my stay was very upbeat and helpful. He went the extra mile.

There was nothing.
