My stay at this hostel was amazing! The rooftop was comfortable and provided a great place to relax. The rooms were cozy and I had a great night's sleep. The showers were clean and refreshing, and the hostel overall was well-maintained. The kitchen was spacious and I was able to cook my own meals. The wifi was fast and reliable. The location was perfect, nestled inside the medina but still peaceful. I met so many wonderful people during my stay. The hostel even helped me find a fantastic hamam with a great price. Tarek, the host, was fantastic and made delicious meals, including the best Tajin I've had in Morocco. I highly recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a chill and relaxing atmosphere with delicious food.
The bathrooms could use some improvement, as they were in a bit of a poor condition and there was often a lack of toilet paper.

my recent stay at a hostel in Essaouira exceeded expectations. The night activities were amazing and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Youth Hostel & Social Travel has a sense of community like no other, making us feel at home.
Construction noise disrupted our stay.

I stayed at this hostel for 3 nights and had a wonderful time. The staff, Chaimae, Khadiha, and Mehdi, were extremely friendly and made me feel welcome. The hostel had a great atmosphere, with a diverse mix of interesting people. The rooftop terrace was colorful and full of beautiful plants, and the common area on the ground floor was a nice place to relax. The spacious dorm room had a window for fresh air and a big mirror. Breakfast was tasty and affordable. The location within the Medina was convenient. I highly recommend this place for its overall atmosphere and friendly staff.
Would recommend this hotel.

The hostel is centrally located and offers a cheap bed. You can enjoy a nice brunch, meet new people on the terrace, and the receptionist makes an effort to remember everyone's names.
The hostel lacks cleanliness, with damp rooms and smelly towels. The owner also directed guests to a terrible restaurant, serving frozen pizza.

The hostel had a really cool and groovy vibe to it. the themed rooms, like the Bob Marley one, were awesome. the rooftop area and kitchen had a great view and was a nice place to chill out. Free Wi-Fi was provided, although it was a bit spotty at times. They also had computers with internet access available. the staff were friendly and helpful, especially the owner who went out of his way to arrange transportation for us.
There were a few areas that could use some improvement. the rooms and toilets weren't always the cleanest.
