Liked: Staff & service
The staff were wonderful, Ayoub, Khalid, Ikram, Nadia, Khadija and others were very helpful in helping you out. I ended up staying there for over a week. Cleanliness/ Amenities of the overall hostel was poor, but this was mainly the actual building itself due to lack of upkeep from the Owner of the building, not the people working there every day. But my own living area was clean and was done every day, so no complaints there. Overall if you want a cheap stay in Essaouria, with friendly people, close to everywhere, then this is a perfect place to be! The terrace is also nice and comfortable, and there is always music playing and laughter all around. The people who work at the hostel are very friendly, and will help you out as much as they can!

Decent budget option
Good location and staff. Younger crowd in their 20's mainly there. Nice roof top terrace. No alcohol allowed as that is the house rules, but plenty of bars not far away.

Check in problem
They wanted more money than we paid online. Said that technical problem between them and hotels.com. We booked 3 beds for 3 nights in a dorm which we payed in advance. When we arrived the lady at the reception told us that what we paid was only for 1 person because they had a problem with the website which they didnt try to fix so they get more customers. She wanted that we pay for two more people. We had to argue for early one hour till she finally gave us the beds we booked. The hostel is one of the noisiest i have ever been to. At least they was a young Maroccan guy volunteering at the hostel who was really nice and helpful.

Friendly but watch for bedbugs
A good vibe and friendly youth hostel and an open kitchen you can cook in. However my partner managed to get several bites from bedbugs from staying which ruined our trip.
