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.

I stayed at this beautifully decorated traditional Riad and was thoroughly impressed. It offers both double rooms and dormitories, all immaculately clean and well maintained, with comfortable bedding and en-suite bathroom and shower. The Riad is perfectly located in the medina, close to everything you might need, and is easily accessible from both Bab Doukala and Bab Marrakech. There are lovely shared spaces on the ground floor and the rooftop, for relaxing or socializing. Although I only stayed for one night, I will definitely come back. Thank you Marouane for everything!

Absolutely loved this Hostel! The staff are the nicest I have met in my travel in Morocco. They really care for their guests. The vibe is very relaxed and the guests are a great mix of many countries and ages. You can have a lot of fun here but also you can just have a peaceful time with very good sleep, cause the staff makes sure it doesn’t get too loud after midnight. The Hostel gets cleaned every day and the shared kitchen is great, too! There is always someone to share a tea or treat with you.

Perfectly yet discreetly located, Giraffe was a pleasant place to stay and relax while in Essaouira. The staff were all busy and cheerful, all more than happy to pause and chat for a while. Bed was actually HEAVENLY. Crisp sheets, comfy mattress, and a quiet shared room of 4. Waking up to a delicious breakfast being cooked was delightful, and the positive and friendly ambience on the rooftop was a top place to start the day, and end the night too!

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.
