Wonderful stay! A warm welcome with Moroccan tea from a very kind lady, and the staff were exceptionally friendly. The young man from Marrakech who showed me the room was kind, and the overall atmosphere was lively and positive, especially thanks to the man playing the guitar A great experience, thank you all

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!

The staff was ao nice to me and my friend. We discussed, we laughed and we were very much well taken care of. My room was super clean with a private bathroom (shower and wc), sheets were neat, i had enough not to feel cold and i had my little window. I also had acces to a kitchen where i could cook and enjoy the terrasse during the lovely nights of Essaouira. Strongly recommend!

The Dar Iziki is the best place to be in Sidi Kaouki!! Ahmed and Abdrahim go way beyond the normal what a host is! They really made our stay remarkable. The rooms are simple but for us they were perfect and very clean. The kids loved the pool and the surrounding. The traditional moroccan breakfast was a daily joy and the dinners were a highlight you shouldn't miss. Sidi Kaouki is still a small and lovely place to relax, enjoy the beach and surf (the beach ist a 2 min walk away!). The whole crew will help you with whatever you need and always have time for a chat. We highly recommend the Dar Iziki. Thanks to Ahmed & the whole team!!

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.
