This riad was a great find! The room was very clean and comfortable, and the staff were incredibly kind and helpful throughout my stay. The atmosphere was peaceful, and the rooftop was definitely a highlight with a beautiful view over the entire city. I’d definitely stay here again

A place of real character, full of art and music (quiet, chilled music) and a warm welcome. I felt instantly at home, which is how Abdul wants all his guests to feel. The staff (especially the ever-present Sadia) go out of their way to be helpful. The location, just a few steps away from the ramparts with their perfect vantage point to watch the sunset, is ideal.

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.
