I stayed at this beautifully decorated traditional Riad and was thoroughly impressed. It offers both double rooms and dormitories, all immaculately clean and well maintained, with comfortable bedding and en-suite bathroom and shower. The Riad is perfectly located in the medina, close to everything you might need, and is easily accessible from both Bab Doukala and Bab Marrakech. There are lovely shared spaces on the ground floor and the rooftop, for relaxing or socializing. Although I only stayed for one night, I will definitely come back. Thank you Marouane for everything!

I really enjoyed staying at Dar Afram, Abdul and Sahida really made me feel at home, they were super helpful and I feel we created genuine friendship bonds. Abdul playing his music in the evening and Sahida super helpful with everything made me want to come back and stay with them! It will be like revisiting old friends :)

Simply a dream. If you like a quiet spot with good vibes but without touristy stuff, that’s the place to go. Donkeys passing by, the constant sound of waves and seagulls, wind gently blowing,… for us it was the perfect spot to relax. Nice breakfast, beautiful view from the terrace, comfortable bed, very good dinner, simple life at it‘s best!

Perfectly yet discreetly located, Giraffe was a pleasant place to stay and relax while in Essaouira. The staff were all busy and cheerful, all more than happy to pause and chat for a while. Bed was actually HEAVENLY. Crisp sheets, comfy mattress, and a quiet shared room of 4. Waking up to a delicious breakfast being cooked was delightful, and the positive and friendly ambience on the rooftop was a top place to start the day, and end the night too!

Very good location in a quiet area and a few minutes walk to the beach. The rooms were clean and the common areas (pool, kitchen, chill area) were also clean and welcoming. Staff were very kind and friendly. Would recommend, great value for money!

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.
