Set in Sidi Kaouki, 400 metres from Sid Kaouki Beach, Dar Iziki offers accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge. Boasting dry cleaning services, this property also provides guests with a terrace. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen, a concierge service and currency exchange for guests.

A continental breakfast is available at the hostel. I've stayed in dozens of hostels and this is far and away the best, primarily because of Ahmed and his team, but also because of the 2 living rooms, quiet location 2 mins walk from the beach and the comfortable, homey vibe of the place.

Hostel La Smala has a shared lounge, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Essaouira. Ideally set in the Kasbah district, this hostel is situated 5.9 km from Golf de Mogador. The property is 600 metres from Plage d'Essaouira, and within 300 metres of the city centre. 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!

Bike hire and car hire are available at this hostel and the area is popular for cycling. 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
