Latest Review for Hostel Essaouira

This is a Trusted Review. Why?

Great relaxed place. rooms are much cleaner than most hostels we have stayed in! no breakfast as advertised on the website but the rest makes up for it. Awesome hot showers a major luxury and the toilets supplied with toilet paper was a real treat for morocco! Bit expensive compared to other cities but average for Essaouira i think.

About Hostel Essaouira

Internet Access 24 hour reception

PLEAS RECPECT THE AGE LIMIT: 18 TO 45 years old,

Essaouira Hostel is perhaps the nicest hostel you will ever stay in!

Welcome to 'Hotel California'; you can check in any time, but you will never want to leave!

Designed in traditional chic Riad style, it is perhaps more worthy of the title 'Boutique Hostel'; for this is more than your average backpackers spot and no more expensive! I we have THE bar where you can finde all you need beers whisky...and of cours the Mojito home made, the bar is open 24H,

if you are cool, young or young in the heart and you like the partttttttttttttttttttttty, this is your place this hostel is the place where you can meet a lot of travelers .

Put on a dvd, some music, read one of the many books on the shelf and check your emails...all included in the price ,

Essaouira Hostel will make you feel instantly relaxed and at home; the rooms are beautifully designed with attention to detail: beds are comfortable and clean and there are showers and toilets on every floor.

There is also another lounge area on the terrace and high terrace; complete with sun beds for soaking up the Essaouira rays. It is an ideal spot for a long afternoon lunch around the huge table with kitchen facilities or an evening bbq while watching the sun go down over the rooftops. The view from the high terrace is magnificent and reaches far over the town.

You can also enjoy the services available; bbq 's can be organised for you and your friends, delicious food made to order for you or even a party, surf trips, kite surf lessons, shopping trips, quad hire, fishing trips, horse and camel riding; you name it, we will help you do it!

Essaouira Hostel is a laid back place to chill out and meet friends in a beautiful building located in the heart of Essaouira's Medina; there are no silly rules or curfews. It is much more like staying in a friends house. The owner and manager are local surf legends who are always ready to have a good time! This is a place to kick back and feel at home; It has a young vibe and whatever the majority of guests are up for , from watching DVDs, cooking up a BBQ to partying through the night; this is what goes on!!

If you are up for a good time and are a chilled out type; this place is for you. However, if you are looking for a very quiet 'early night' type place; then this perhaps is not your bag! Because of the young atmosphere, we do not accept families with young children.

Awesome hot showers a major luxury and the toilets supplied with toilet paper was a real treat for morocco! Bit expensive compared to other cities but average for Essaouira i think. was very quiet at night ( no street or medina noise) but guests tend to party and play music sometimes so make sure this is your thing! Tricky to find initially (taxi drove us from bus station and left us with no directions of medina) but once inside the medina it is sign posted if you get to the right area or a helpful local can show you the way! Overall one of the best hostels in Morocco!

Fantastic little hostel! Unassuming, possibly a little difficult to find, but when you do, it's a hidden oasis right in the middle of the medina. Clean cosy rooms, free wifi, fireplace and a library of guidebooks. Make sure you go up to the roof top for a drink at sunset or check it out at sunrise. Such great value- would definately go back :)
