You know these hotels, that you cannot imagine yourself coming back to the city without staying there? that was Dar Afram for me. Abdul, the owner, made me feel extremely welcome and we had some interesting chats. The location is great, a lot of love has been put to the rooms and one of the highlights is definitely the terrace, where one can chill away the day. Thank you Abdul, I hope I’ll make it back to Essaouira and to Dar Afram!

Probably the best hostel I’ve stayed in Morocco. Look no more if you want a place to stay chill for a couple of days or do some co working with great views to the seaside.

We loved the place so much we stayed an extra 2 nights. Top location, friendly staff, delicious breakfast. Incredible views, stunning sunrises and sunsets. We walked up to the sand dunes at Cap Sim, along the beach to Sidi Kaouki for lunch, so much to see. Felt connected to nature here, such a beautiful landscape. Perfect place to rest, relax, surf, hike, yoga, meditate or write.

If you are looking for a quiet and chill retreat then you should come here. The hosts are wonderful people who are welcoming and tend to your every need. The dinner was especially magnificent and the best food we had during our trip. The dinner and wonderful breakfast is only surpassed by the sympathy of the hosts who made us feel at home and were flexible and caring every day. There is a discount with the smaylo surf school with a nice surf instructor. The Dar also provides plenty of evening activities in the comfortable sofa area with board and card games and musical instruments for a small jam session. The rooms were tidy and adequat. We would come again and were sad that we had to leave.

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.

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.
