We stayed in the hostel for 2 nights and did have a nice time. Our room was very small and was fairly clean. Breakfast was ok and there was free internet. There is a good atmosphere in the hostel. It is a party hostel and if you don't like open drug taking then I wouldn't recommend it as there seemed... More

Phoned up asking for the cheapest room available for 5 of us. They quoted 100 dirhams per person per night but when we arrived they asked for 130 dirhams instead as they have booked up the cheapest room (10 persons/room) so they have to upgrade us to a more expensive room (6 persons/room). We got away with 100 dirhams anyway... More

The hostel is ok if you like the hippie, sand and surf atmosphere. Here are the things I like about the hostel: 1. Brahim, the hostel owner: He is a great guy. He is helpful and accommodating. He helped arrange for a big taxi to bring us from Marrakech to Essaouira and back. We got an SUV instead. We thoroughly... More

The hostel is ok, specially if your younger like 18-20. Then you will meet a lot of people and have some fun nights. For me the crowd was too young and I would never go there with kids, it wouldn´t feel safe. The hostel is very dirty and the rooms smells bad.. :( Would recommend you to bring your own... More

Imagine you arrive in Essaouria, travel through the winding medina to arrive at a perfectly situated hostel... the door is open... and you are excitingly greeted my young, cool, and energetic hostel owner and amazing staff! But, not like other hostels/hotels you don't just check-in. First you get invited into the lounge area where later that night the staff will... More

We went to Essaouira for a couple of days after getting a bit tired of the hassle of Marrakech. Essaouira is an old "hippie destination", and that is mainly the kind of people you meet at Essaouira Hostel. The hostel is in other words very laid back, and the staff is awesome. They show you the best places to go... More

Hostel Essouira was the highlight of my trip. Mageek the 'manager' i guess was brilliant. Always chilling and ready to help you to relax. Teh rooftop terrace with a kitchen is fantastic, get some tanning, socialize with other guests and cook food on the cheap. What more cold you want? A bar? Got one... a hammock floor? Got one. Go,...
