All was good.

Very nice place, you can meet other Travellers if you like. Nice terrace without kitchen.

The taxi can't take you all the way to the hostel because it's inside the medina. You'll have to walk a bit from where the taxi drops you off :(

Staying at Simon's hostel was a fantastic experience! The atmosphere was welcoming, the facilities were clean, and his hospitality made me feel right at home. I can't wait to come back!

Right in the medina. Nice atmosphere, cute terrace. Genuinely friendly and helpful staff.

The Wifi could be better

The Hostel was amazing. The best thing about it were the many young people in the hostel and Simon our host/ tour guide :)) He took the time to show us hidden gems and had amazing tipps as a local. While we were there we made some homemade pasta from scratch with the whole hostel and got to know many people. Note that the Wifi doesn’t work in the rooms but other than that the room was very clean and comfortable. The hostel also has an amazing terasse with a kitchen.

Hard to say, anything not spotlessly clean or fully functional adds to the charm of the place!

Simone was very king, generous and helpful! Always making sure I was okay, showing me round the Medina and giving me tips on where to go. The room was beautiful and authentic.

The people that work there are really friendly and always will help you with anything you need and the terrace

Maybe a proper bathroom separate for the room would feel more comfortable. But the host is really nice and helpful, and helped me find a solution to feel more comfortable, thanks a lot for that :)

I'm being very well welcomed, the terrace is super cosy, with games and books

It’s a little bit noisy since the entrance hall is used as a community place and you can hear that in the rooms.

Really nice place, location is also very good and the stuff is very friendly. Our room was nice.

the bathroom in the private left something to be desired and the wifi was non-existent in the room. to enter the hostel, people have to ring the bell, but most of the time, employees are hanging out on the roof and it takes some time to get downstairs, meaning the bell is often rung multiple times and clearly heard throughout the hostel

the private was comfortable enough. The vibe of the people working there is very cool. The location is hard to beat

The breakfast was not until ten. It also costs extra but we knew that in advance. There are plenty of places to have breakfast outside the hostel or outside the medina though.

The hostel is located close to the centre of the medina. The room for two people was very comfortable with a nice shower. The receptionist was very welcoming and helpful. There is a nice rooftop balcony to hang out in the evening. For this price I can highly recommend this place. Thank you!

There was nothing specific that I didn't like but if I would nitpick I wished there was some faster connection but but the connection they have is good for an average Internet consumer social media and everything but if you're work on something heavy I would recommend working on a Caffè

The place The place was super comfortable and the staff were super nice and everything was good everything was good Value for price totally recommend totally recommend for solo travellers. The staff were super innovative in how they host so I'm sure you would have lot of fun if you want to spend an important part of your (night)in the hostel

some ants at the end of the 3days in the bedroom. But no big deal.

the hostel manager gave us a bunch of recommendation. Organised the quad bookings, the hammam bookings and the camel riding booking for us, negotiated the prices and was super friendly. Even went for lunch with us. He even offered cooking classes as he was a chef. The hostel is nice, bedrooms comfortable and the upstairs outdoor terrace, the cherry on the top. Thanks heaps

Didn't find anybody at first when we came, had to go find the guy on the rooftop. Had to ask for towels. Bathroom was very small, no soap. Beds are uncomfortable, unless you like sleeping on a plain wood.

Nice location, room was decent size and the price was good

Stayed in May 2023

key was difficult to locate by the staff

excellent cooking by Tariq and community atmosphere - food was way better than most of the restaurants.

Stayed in April 2023

We didn’t have wifi in our room and it was problematic to have hot water for both of us.

Clean, accessible and very friendly atmosphere. The host did his best to provide the best experience for us.

I had a good time at the Youth Hostel. First of all, don't expect luxury accommodation when you book the most affordable hostel in Essaouira. But what you do get is an always good-humored, always helpful and warm-hearted operator, Tarek. He is a real local and can give you tips on everything and is always available for a nice chat on the sunny terrace. Thank you very much and best regards!!!

Nothing exactly, everything met my expectations, there was no problems.

It wasn't easy to get there, as the narrow streets, but it's in the Medina. The owner is very nice, easy going, would be up to help with anything, same as other workers there. As I'm of the bigger guys, instead of a bunk bed in shared room he upgraded me to the private room with the shower. Room were very well equipped and nice, big bed as well. Decided to stay another night, asked to keep same room for same price and i was told i could stay, as there was availability. Really appreciate for the room, same as the help with everything. Also the ride to the airport. Sadly my flight got delayed for 8 hours and i missed another flight home. 🥲 but in general it's really nice, affordable and friendly place. Market on the corner, could buy anything. Would definitely stay again!

Great staff, vibes, and rooftop.

Only thing one could improve is reducing the humidity in the bathroom, because there were some moldy patches, but we already talked with the Tarek about it. Generally it’s important to be aware, that this is a hostel and not a luxurious riad, for some people a place like this does not provide the needs they want, but for us it was perfect and especially with those reasonable prices!

For me the Youth Hostel was the best choice, we could have made, before coming to Essaouira. As two young, female travelers it is important to both feel secure and comfortable in a place and everybody in this hostel made us feel this way. We had a two bed bedroom and our own little bathroom which was nice. The rooftop terasse is beautiful and you can enjoy the sunrise from up there (if you wake up early). We can only recommend to take a cooking class with Tarek Or try his homemade breakfast :) We spent many evenings up on the terrasse talking to the other guest from all around the world, you will have an enjoyable time :)

I enjoyed my stay in Essaouira, the hostel is nice and harmonious, it is located in Medina, it takes just few min to walk to the center and to the beach also. I met a lot of nice people there and among Tarik welcomed me with a warm smile happy to talk and show me around. It was such a pleasure to meet Tarik and we had a lot of fun...

Stayed in February 2023

The only thing was that the toilet was making some noise

Tarik was super friendly and so nice ! We had a lot of fun at the hostel and met a lot of kindly people :) i recommend it

Stayed in February 2023

Bed in the first room was slightly too hard for our liking, but that's totally up to personal opinion

Tarik was an amazing host who went above and beyond for his guests, always available, offered help and support on every occasion, from illness cure to carrying my heavy backpack, can offer help with organising activities from surfing, horse riding or a visit to the hamamm. Offers cooking classes and breakfast as well. Very clean and tidy place, spacious bathroom, two shared kitchens, lovely roof terrace to chill, very central but still very quiet, we extended our stay twice because we felt so at home

Stayed in February 2023

I stayed in a double room with my friend for three nights. The hostel is located in a quiet area two streets from the heart of the Medina. The hostel offers a good WiFi service, a nice terrace which becomes a meeting point for the various guests. Structure clean and managed by Tarik, a guy prepared and super available to different guest requests. For the last lunch he prepare for us a delicious bereber omelette. I highly recommend this hostel for those looking for a quite place to share with other travelers :)
