Everything was great! Location is very central so you’re close to chaotic market but once you enter hostel, it’s peaceful and quiet. The room is very cozy, the owners put a lot of attention to details and design. The common areas and the rooftop are awesome. The staff was very welcoming, special thanks to Marouane for his kindness, always smiling and helping with any question.

Boasting a shared lounge, a terrace as well as a restaurant, Riad Dar Afram is set in the centre of Essaouira, 600 metres from Plage d'Essaouira. Ideally located in the Old Medina district, this hostel is situated 5.9 km from Golf de Mogador. The accommodation offers evening entertainment and a concierge service. Staying at Riad Dar Afram was truly one of the highlights of my trip to Essaouira. The riad itself is full of character—beautifully decorated with artistic touches, cozy corners, and a rooftop that’s perfect for relaxing after a day in the medina. But what truly made the experience unforgettable was Saida, the heart and soul of the riad. From the moment I arrived, she welcomed me with such warmth and genuine kindness that I immediately felt at home. She’s not only incredibly friendly, but also always ready to help—whether it’s with recommendations, directions, or just a lovely chat over mint tea. Her energy lights up the entire place. If you’re looking for a place that’s more than just a stay—somewhere that feels personal, inspiring, and full of soul—Dar Afram is it. Thank you, Saida, for everything. I’ll definitely be back!

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. 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.
