Excellent”

The staff is awesome! Simo is the manager and is by far the greatest host we had in Morocco. He sat with us and gave us a map and explained all there is to know around the medina. We stayed for 3 days and he showed us around when needed. There is also Mouhcine who helps around and he was very helpful. He took us around the medina, cooked tajine for us and made our trip in Essaouira unforgettable. It is a great place for gathering and it really feels like home. 👌🏻 The place is a bit hard to find but here's a tip: ask around for Simo the manager of the hostel and ppl will tell you where to find it !

It's a very dirty place. NO management at all! There was a young guy - who would be (MAYBE) the manager. No organizations AT ALL! The bathrooms are THE WORST EVER! FILTH! Hated the experience! I was trying to save some money, but better expend some more money at other place! I'd NEVER go back to that place again!
