Hostel La Smala has a shared lounge, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Essaouira. Ideally set in the Kasbah district, this hostel is situated 5.9 km from Golf de Mogador. The property is 600 metres from Plage d'Essaouira, and within 300 metres of the city centre. I have stayed ocean view room with private bathroom, I wish I had extra couple of days and enjoyed from my room more. I would like to also thank the hostel staff at the reception on my check out day. Unfortunately, I broke a glass and spilled my drink, although I tried to clean it, but couldn't manage it properly. When I informed her about the issue, she was very kind to handle it. If you will go Essouira, and have a chance to stay that ocean view room, make sure to book min 2 nights :)

Berber hostel is attractively set in Essaouira, and offers a terrace and free WiFi. Built in 1956, the property is within 500 metres of Plage d'Essaouira and 5.6 km of Golf de Mogador. The accommodation features a shared kitchen, room service and currency exchange for guests. What a magical place to stay! It’s a rather small hostel, but very social with real chilled family vibes. The hostel manager Souf is the heart of the place - he’s really chilled and makes sure that everybody has a good time. We often cooked some really authentic traditional Moroccan food together with him, with ingredients fresh from the local markets. There is an awesome rooftop to just chill and relax, it’s secured from the wind. You can go surfing and do many other exciting activities in the area, Souf will organize and tell you all you need to know! Will return there for sure when I’m in the area again!! :)
