In the heart of Essaouira's ancient Medina lies the Essaouira Hostel, THE place to chill and have a good time. Welcome to the HOTEL CALIFORNIA !

Essaouira Hostel is perhaps the nicest hostel you will ever stay in!

Welcome to 'Hotel California'; you can check in any time, but you will never want to leave!

Designed in traditional chic Riad style, it is perhaps more worthy of the title 'Boutique Hostel'; for this is more than your average backpackers spot and no more expensive! It is designed around a beautiful central garden where you can sit by the fire with a drink at the in house bar and open kitchen area ; Put on a DVD, some music, read one of the many books on the shelf and check your emails...all included in the price (except of course your beer!)

Essaouira Hostel will make you feel instantly relaxed and at home; the rooms are beautifully designed with attention to detail: beds are comfortable and clean and there are showers and toilets on every floor.

There is also another lounge area on the terrace and high terrace; complete with sun beds for soaking up the Essaouira rays. It is an ideal spot for a long afternoon lunch around the huge table with kitchen facilities or an evening bbq while watching the sun go down over the rooftops. The view from the high terrace is magnificent and reaches far over the town.

You can also enjoy the services available; BBQ 's can be organised for you and your friends, delicious food made to order for you or even a party, surf trips, kite surf lessons, shopping trips, quad hire, fishing trips, horse and camel riding; you name it, we will help you do it!

Essaouira Hostel is a laid back place to chill out and meet friends in a beautiful building located in the heart of Essaouira's Medina; there are no silly rules or curfews. It is much more like staying in a friends house. The owner and manager are local surf legends who are always ready to have a good time! This is a place to kick back and feel at home; It has a young vibe and whatever the majority of guests are up for , from watching DVDs, cooking up a BBQ to partying through the night; this is what goes on!!

If you are up for a good time and are a chilled out type; this place is for you. However, if you are looking for a very quiet 'early night' type place; then this perhaps is not your bag! Because of the young atmosphere, we do not accept families with young children.
