Such a peacefull place to stay. Dar Afram was like our family during our stay in this beautiful city. The familiary vibe we’ve got here, in this house, didn’t let us stay only 2 nights (as planned), we stayed 5 nights and i can say after 2 weeks of Marocco (and now back in our regular lifes), our hearts are still in Essaouira, at Dar Afram’s place. This Riad has a traditional marrocan arhitecture, colourful an very cozy. The breakfast is served on a beautiful terrace with a nice view over the ocean and the buildings around. It was amazing and also very rich: bread, yogurt, fresh fruits, marmelade, traditional msemen, orange juice, butter, pancake, olives, tea, and we ate the best traditional couscous tajin in Marocco. This warm and sweet woman with her nice and kind friend gave us the feeling that we were at home, to our families. Unbelivable. We spend the evenings at the hotel, enjoying live music concerts with extraordinary musicians with great voice and guitar skills. We sang, we danced, we laughed and we had a great time in this place, we recomand it from the bottom of our heart. And we know for sure that we will come back again in this house of warm souls and beautiful people.

This hostel has the most amazing staff I have ever met in my life! I can just say a HUGE THANKS for all the people working there, because during my 2 weeks of staying, they treated me so good. I felt like they are all my big brothers taking care of me. I have never seen before a staff so friendly, talkative and involved of the travelers everyday life. Any kind of issue I faced in Essaouira, they were there to help me (even came with me to buy vegetables in the market, to show me how things are going among locals, or we could just eat together to not to feel alone in my lonely moments). Best atmosphere ever! I was a bit crying when I left Essouira :/ If something didn't work in the building (like the electrical socket next to my bed when I arrived) I just told them, and they came right away to fix it. They are fast and really willing to help you. Also if you are looking for a place, where the community life is very good, this is the right place to stay, they have musical instruments, a nice hall, and a rooftop to talk and make friends or find travel buddies. Love you guys! Hope to see you soon!

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.
