The staff were unbelievably kind and helpful—we truly felt cared for every moment of our stay. They offered wonderful suggestions for things to do and see, and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. The riad itself was beautiful, clean, and so comfortable that it genuinely felt like home. And the food was absolutely amazing. We loved every part of our stay and would come back in a heartbeat!

I had an amazing experience. The place is brand new, clean, and equipped with all the facilities you could possibly need for a comfortable stay, from a well-equipped kitchen to cozy common areas perfect for relaxing or meeting other travelers. What truly made my stay unforgettable was the owner and the staff. They were incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful with everything, whether it was giving local tips, arranging activities, or just sharing a friendly conversation. Their hospitality really made me feel at home. I would definitely come back here on my next visit to Essaouira and highly recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a friendly, comfortable, and well-located place to stay.

Everything was perfect and clean, special thanks to the receptionists Fatima zahra and Amin, they were so welcoming and friendly, and also the woman who clean the rooms, and the security guard at night, they were all nice. They also have a beautiful rooftop, I recommend!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Atlantic Hostel during my travels, and I must say, it was an absolute delight from start to finish. This charming haven by the ocean completely exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the warm and friendly staff who made me feel right at home. The reception area was stylishly designed, creating a cozy atmosphere that immediately put me at ease after a long journey. The hostel's location is truly unbeatable. Nestled just a stone's throw away from the mesmerizing Atlantic Ocean, I woke up to the most breathtaking sunrises each morning. The view alone is worth every penny. Whether I was enjoying my morning coffee on the terrace or strolling along the nearby beach, the serene beauty of the surroundings was a constant source of tranquility. The dormitory I stayed in was impeccably clean and well-maintained. The comfortable beds and individual reading lights added a thoughtful touch to the overall design. What impressed me the most was the attention to detail - from the themed decor to the artistic murals that adorned the walls, it was clear that the hostel had put in a lot of effort to create a unique and memorable experience. But it wasn't just the aesthetics that won me over. The communal spaces, such as the cozy lounge and well-equipped kitchen, fostered a sense of camaraderie among fellow travelers. I had the pleasure of meeting people from all corners of the world, sharing stories and making memories that will last a lifetime. The hostel's staff went above and beyond to make my stay exceptional. Their recommendations for local restaurants, hidden gems, and activities to do in the area truly enhanced my travel experience. It felt like I was staying with friends who genuinely cared about ensuring I had the best time possible.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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.
