Communal space often being used; shared breakfast and a tea in the evening meant it was easy to meet other solo travellers. The staff were excellent and made the place feel like a home. A really great team of people working here.

You know these hotels, that you cannot imagine yourself coming back to the city without staying there? that was Dar Afram for me. Abdul, the owner, made me feel extremely welcome and we had some interesting chats. The location is great, a lot of love has been put to the rooms and one of the highlights is definitely the terrace, where one can chill away the day. Thank you Abdul, I hope I’ll make it back to Essaouira and to Dar Afram!

Amazing place! Beautiful rooms (I loved the wooden oculus beds) and beautiful comunal spaces. The rooftop is the cherry on top! You can stay there all they long and being your food without need to buy from the bar, but you should try the smoothie with banana dates and avocado! 😍 The room was incredibly quiet and with a lot of privacy to be an hostel. I slept like a baby. Toilets very clean and the stuff very friendly and helpful!

This is the kind of place that it’s difficult to leave. I kept extending my stay here because you really feel at home. The staff is incredibly kind and helpful and the atmosphere is cosy and warmth. You can probably find more intimated places in the city but I’m not sure you can find a friendlier one. The breakfast is one of the best I was served in a hostel and Souf, the manager, cooks often family dinners for the guests. As a solo traveler, I definitely recommend the place to anyone looking for a unique and authentic stay.

When we arrived it was already dark but it was already beautiful. The Host was waiting for us till late and welcomed us with smile. On the way to room we were looking at many surf boards and this gave us impression of cool vibe. In the morning it was even better! We were eating great breakfast in a restaurant next to surf house. Restaurant had cool terrace with the view on the sea and you could watch walking donkeys. The neighborhood was very quiet so this location is the best if you want to chill. On the roof top there is an extra place to sit and read a book. I think this place is amazing and has nice vibe, The host is very nice and helpful and the interior is the best! Highly recommend I can't wait to go back there:)

All hostels in Essaouira

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The staff were amazing, and so was the vibe. Great location inside the medina. It's not perfect, but it's definitely worth it and more for the cheap price we paid!!! I would stay here again if I travel on a budget.

    Great location in medina. The prettiest hostel I've seen interior-vise. 2 lovely cats living in the riad. Homely atmosphere, great for meeting people and hang out! Quiet in the night.

    All the staff is very friendly, the rooftop terrace is perfect for chilling, socializing and seeing the sunset, and the food served there at the bar is tasty. Even though it's a cheap hostel it keeps the minimum standards and since each floor can only be accessed by the people staying on it (they have security codes to enter the floor and room) the cleanness level doesn't get affected so much during the day. A very good budget friendly stay.
