The staff was very obliging and sweet. The breakfast was delicious. And the location was fantastic -- right in the Medina, a short walk from everything. The rooms were extremely clean.

You won’t regret it 🫶🏻

We loved the place so much we stayed an extra 2 nights. Top location, friendly staff, delicious breakfast. Incredible views, stunning sunrises and sunsets. We walked up to the sand dunes at Cap Sim, along the beach to Sidi Kaouki for lunch, so much to see. Felt connected to nature here, such a beautiful landscape. Perfect place to rest, relax, surf, hike, yoga, meditate or write.

Absolutely loved this Hostel! The staff are the nicest I have met in my travel in Morocco. They really care for their guests. The vibe is very relaxed and the guests are a great mix of many countries and ages. You can have a lot of fun here but also you can just have a peaceful time with very good sleep, cause the staff makes sure it doesn’t get too loud after midnight. The Hostel gets cleaned every day and the shared kitchen is great, too! There is always someone to share a tea or treat with you.

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.
