Best place in Essauoira for sure! Perfect location - in the heart of the city center but quiet at the same time. Very easy to find. Staff guys are all just great. Friendliest people in Morocco! The place definitely will make you feel like home. 11/10!

I really enjoyed staying at Dar Afram, Abdul and Sahida really made me feel at home, they were super helpful and I feel we created genuine friendship bonds. Abdul playing his music in the evening and Sahida super helpful with everything made me want to come back and stay with them! It will be like revisiting old friends :)

Probably the best hostel I’ve stayed in Morocco. Look no more if you want a place to stay chill for a couple of days or do some co working with great views to the seaside.

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.
