I'm in love with Essaouira from the first sight! And this hostel is a part of that. Firstly- very central location, when I mean central it means you're in the heart of Essaouira. The staff communicates perfectly, the conditions to stay in this hostel was almost ideal! Already missing Essaouira! Merci 🌼

My experience staying at the hostel was positive. After I checked in they invited me lunch and shared the most delicious tagine I had in Morocco. They made sure everything was comfortable. They provided me with my own roll of toilet paper, towel, and lock for the locker. They were able to answer questions about the medina and the city that made my exploring much easier. The room was kept clean. I had pillow, thin blanket, and thick blanket. I was able to take hot shower. No problem in the restroom. The place is conveniently located inside the medina walking distance to the attractions, beach, restaurants, money exchange, and bus station. I would recommend staying at this hostel.

All hostels in Essaouira

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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.
