Essaouira Hostel

Essaouira is absolutely beautiful, a fabulous city, where you are surrounded by history, culture and such friendly people! My friend and I visited at the end of February and we used this hostel as a base, centrally located and easy to find (if you use Google maps!!!) The medina is a maze and you could walk around for hours not revisiting the same spot! Simon is the host and was super, nothing was too much trouble. The hostel is clean and pretty, the WiFi is patchy however Simon moved the hub close to our room and it worked well. We stayed in “The Doors” and while it did indeed have a door the circular window above was missing, we only noticed when a little bird flew in and we couldn’t figure out how! The room consisted on a WC, which was very tiny and sounded like we may be rocketed into space, everytime we flushed! The door to the WC was like a saloon bar door so you have to on pretty good terms with your room mate, alto the shower is actually in the room too, there is a shower curtain however that’s all, the bed area has sheer curtains so again you need to not be shy if you stay here. The shower provides warm water, not at a high temperature so it was a little chilly for my liking and the shower head was acting like it had a prostate issue, spurting out water everywhere but where you need it! Now the beds were as hard as a mortuary slab and the first night I woke up feeling like I was indeed dead, very stiff (because of the bed) and freezing because of lack of heating, a missing window and drafts. Simon provided us with extra blankets so we did sleep better, we just used an extra duvet as a mattress topper! In all its basic but perfect for a cheap stay, Simon was the perfect host and we will definitely be returning to Essaouira, probably not to stay here though.

Private double room was clean and really nice, facilitates were good and the bed was comfortable. Magic was a very kind and helpful host. There was a safe place downstairs to keep our bicycles and a nice terrace too. Wifi was pretty bad, and a few details like light bulbs not working in the shared areas keeps it from being 5*

nice place and nice view it make me feel happy every time i come to Essaouira and feel sooo satisfiedthank you so much for being nice and i would like to return a millions times again i wish you all a good new year
