Exceptional Stay at Dar Iziki – A Home Away from Home! I had the most wonderful experience staying at Dar Iziki! From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warmth and kindness, making me feel instantly at home. The atmosphere is truly special—relaxed, friendly, and full of positive energy. The cleanliness of the entire place is outstanding. Every corner, from the rooms to the shared spaces, is well-maintained, creating a fresh and comfortable environment. The shared kitchen is a fantastic addition, fully equipped and inviting, making it easy to cook and connect with fellow travelers. One of the highlights of my stay was the beautiful pool, perfect for cooling off and unwinding after a day of exploring. The sense of community here is incredible—whether you’re enjoying a meal together, sharing travel stories, or simply relaxing in the common areas, you always feel like part of a family. The team at Dar Iziki goes above and beyond to ensure guests have a memorable stay. Their hospitality is truly top-notch, always available with helpful tips and warm smiles. I can’t recommend Dar Iziki enough—if you’re looking for a welcoming, clean, and social place to stay, this is the perfect choice! I’ll definitely be back. 10/10!

All hostels in Essaouira

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.

Great location in medina. The prettiest hostel I've seen interior-vise. 2 lovely cats living in the riad. Homely atmosphere, great for meeting people and hang out! Quiet in the night.

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.
