Sadiya was such a great help..making early breakfast so we could meet our transport, arranging porter, directions to shops and restaurants..always ready to assist. Unlike our other breakfasts, there was a little variety at Afram...that was nice. Her helper (didn't get name) was also cheerful and diligent.

I had an amazing experience. The place is brand new, clean, and equipped with all the facilities you could possibly need for a comfortable stay, from a well-equipped kitchen to cozy common areas perfect for relaxing or meeting other travelers. What truly made my stay unforgettable was the owner and the staff. They were incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful with everything, whether it was giving local tips, arranging activities, or just sharing a friendly conversation. Their hospitality really made me feel at home. I would definitely come back here on my next visit to Essaouira and highly recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a friendly, comfortable, and well-located place to stay.

The location was great just in the medina, next to the medina walls, and on 5 min walk from the beach. Also, it was very clean place, thanks to the ladies who were cleaning around 🙌🏽 I would definitely visit again

I really liked the vibe of the hostel. Staffs here are really nice and the environment too. It’s in the Medina, so you can find many things around closer and even the beach is really close.

Berber hostel is a place where people originally intend to stay a few days and wind up staying a month or more. The staff- led by Souf- were warm and helpful-for example, recommending a wonderful non-tourist hammam. The location is perfect for exploring the Medina, the beach, surfing, the artist colony, etc. Hostels are about the vibe and Berber hostel is magic.

The setup, relaxed atmosphere, and access to the kitchen. The views of the ocean were superb. You look down at the surf, licking the seemingly endless beach below. I hope to come back soon.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hostel! From the moment I arrived, the staff Samad and biggy made me feel so welcome — genuinely kind people who are always ready to help or just have a chat. The common areas had such a chill vibe, perfect for meeting other travelers, and everything was kept really clean. The location was ideal too — close to everything but still peaceful at night. I honestly didn’t want to leave. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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.
