I had an amazing experience. The place is brand new, clean, and equipped with all the facilities you could possibly need for a comfortable stay, from a well-equipped kitchen to cozy common areas perfect for relaxing or meeting other travelers. What truly made my stay unforgettable was the owner and the staff. They were incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful with everything, whether it was giving local tips, arranging activities, or just sharing a friendly conversation. Their hospitality really made me feel at home. I would definitely come back here on my next visit to Essaouira and highly recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a friendly, comfortable, and well-located place to stay.

I have stayed ocean view room with private bathroom, I wish I had extra couple of days and enjoyed from my room more. I would like to also thank the hostel staff at the reception on my check out day. Unfortunately, I broke a glass and spilled my drink, although I tried to clean it, but couldn't manage it properly. When I informed her about the issue, she was very kind to handle it. If you will go Essouira, and have a chance to stay that ocean view room, make sure to book min 2 nights :)

This is my favorite hostel ever. I was a little worried about not being able to lock my things up while I was out but I knew immediately after walking in that there was no reason to worry. The vibe here is unmatchable, the staff is incredible, there’s many travelers but also many Moroccans, which is amazing. Iftar and Sohoor here is an awesome experience

The setup, relaxed atmosphere, and access to the kitchen. The views of the ocean were superb. You look down at the surf, licking the seemingly endless beach below. I hope to come back soon.

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.
