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!

Amazing place — the dorms are super clean, with comfy beds, curtains for privacy, and lockers. The host is incredibly friendly and always ready to help with anything or tell a funny story. I absolutely loved the vibe here and just kept extending my stay. Highly recommend!

There's definetely a wave which is wandering through the hostel storeys like a ghost throughout the day that is warm to the core which is not of a pretention but of very from the heart,you feel it. All staff are part of this warmth without exception,you see them enjoying this wave, like greeting,dancing. Also there's Kawtar,who has utter unique cuteness, that is enchanting.

the beds were soooo comfortable and the place was beyond clean. I had a huge dinner one night with everyone together and ended up meeting a couple of decent guy and had some great conversations. After that met some austrians with whom I played some crazy card game with, was alot of fun. The dicount on the surf rental gear from the brother of the manager was very practicle and used the offer a few times. Breakfast was also good, though could be a bit cheaper.

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.
