This dar has a nice décor with a lot of artwork, clean rooms, ample warm shower and a rooftop with a good view. And the location is excellent, close to the coast and close to many good restaurants, cafes and shops. The homemade breakfast was also very good!

Literally everything. Just wish I stayed longer. Staff were incredibly helpful, with my late arrival, and with things to see and do in Essaouira. Double bed bunks in a hostel is an amazing idea. Rooftop terrace is really nice too

Amazing place to meet people, roof terrace for the hostel is a little small as the largest part is mainly for the restaurant but the vibe is super wholesome

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.
