probably one of the worst hostels me and my friend have been too. not clean. shower and toilet in the room without real door. people in the room always being loud during the night. always no toilet paper. just seemed really unorganised over all.

great place to stay, Simo is a delight, as were the vibes all round. Shower in my dorm wasn't the most reliable temperature-wise, but all in all a great stay. Will be back when I'm next in Essaouira 🤙🏻

I had such a great stay here. Simu was so kind and helpful, he even arranged a Hammam visit for me and picked me up after. What a cool guy. I really loved the rooftop at this hostel, it was covered with a great view. Would definitely stay again!

+ The reception was excellent and very professional. We were warmly welcomed with a friendly smile from the very first moment, which made us feel comfortable and valued. The reception staff were very helpful and attentive, providing clear information about the accommodation and nearby places. Their kindness and professionalism made our stay more enjoyable, and I truly appreciate their outstanding service.

- However, the Wi-Fi service was not satisfactory, as the connection was weak and sometimes unstable. I hope this issue can be improved in the future, as it would make the overall experience even better

Stayed in a private room with my own bathroom which was great. Kitchen had enough to make simple meals, hostel itself was quite quiet with some common areas.

+ Die Lage Ist supper. Die Angestellten sind freundlich und sehr hilfsbereit. Preis-Leistung Passt einfach

- Die Beleuchtung in den Zimmern ist unpraktisch. Auf dem Dach war nur eine sehr schwache Lampe die ein Aufenthalt nach der Dämmerung eher unangenehm gestaltete Es Gibt auf dem Dach zwar eine Waschmaschine und einen Trockner die Beide aber funktionslos sind. Mir kommt es ein wenig so vor als ob der Eigentümer das Gebäude langsam ausbluten lässt und lieber nichts investieren möchte. Ps beim Lampenwechsel auf dem Dach (um dort ein bissen sitzen zu können ) ist mir aufgefallen das eine Lampe Krieschstrom hatt und eine ander Kleine Kurzschlüsse Produziert. Leider habe ich vergessen es dem betreiber mit zu teilen. Wen jemand dort hin geht weist den betreiber bitte darauf hin zumindest diese lampen im Sitzbereich des Daches zu Tauschen bevor noch etwas Passiert Danke.
