Liked: Good location within walking distance of the souks and coast. The rooms are fairly basic but a good size and clean with air-con. There is a small supermarket and cybercafe nearby and it adjoins a cafe where you can get coffeee or tea. There are also a few small eating cafes across the road.

Disliked: The rates do NOT include breakfast as advertised but this didn,t bother me. Neither did the small extra tax charge added on arrival.

Liked: Really good value for money simply because it's about 15 minutes walk from the medina and walled town. I got a large, clean ensuite room with a decent shower and TV. i couldn't have wished for more for the price.

Disliked: It's really not that far from the town but if you don't like walking, or you get nervous walking alone at night then you may prefer somewhere in town.

Beach / sunbathing

Liked: It was clean and the beds were comfortable. The staff were always available for any assistance needed. The little extras were really appreciated like the cleaning lady hung up something on a hanger when I had left it in the bathroom to dry. It was only a 5 minute walk to the Medina and 10 to the beach. One thing to watch for folks is that when you get off the bus people will try and get you to go with them to other places to stay, charge you money then drop you at the taxi after 30 minutes of walking about in the heat and through the Medina (really busy). Advice is to say no and get a taxi there. Will cost you only 10 dirham so well worth it rather than trying to find your way there. All in all a fantastic place to stay for the price.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike at all. :D

24 May 2010 David would recommend this property

Liked: It's a bit unfair to rate this with other hostels, because it's really a hotel and people are not there to mix in a common area. I had a single room for 16 euros which was about a 5 to 10 minute walk to the medina. If you are not fussed about being in the medina and game to get some extra walking in, it's a very decent place and the staff was extremely solicitous and helpful. I was also able to use their office computer to access the internet. Oddly, I had a fair number of mosquitos in my bathroom, none of which took any interest in me. Make of that what you will.

Liked: Great place to stay. The guys on the desk are awesome! Its a ten minute walk to the medina and 15 to the beach, but taxis are cheap and its nice to see a side of essouaira/morocco that most people, who stay inside the walls, would miss completely. Very much a hotel but at a hostel price. Thanks for having us!
