Essaouira Youth Hostel & Social Travel

"The hostel could be cool place to hang out, It has a cool terrace and kitchen/movie/chill out area but... It's filthy! The showers have a disgusting smell, the toilets don't get cleaned, the sheets don't get changed, the hang out area is constantly dirty. The shower has no light. There are no keys to the rooms, I lost 100€. The manager told me a few times I should lock my things and because I didn't have a lock he offered to take care of it. I never lost anything in any dorm before and thought I'll be fine even though he mentioned it a few times that things might get stolen. And If the management would take care of cleanliness as much as asking to pay the room and breakfast, it could be a good place. It always seemed like there was no money available to prepare breakfast if I don't pay right before. The management is not managing well but takes good care of the guests, probably because it's more fun, for me at some point it was too much."

Perfect localization - in the city center. The rooftop was nice. We really like the volunteer - maroccan girl and some advices of manager.

Most of places were dirty and sticky (f.e. cancer sticks, bottle tops and poops in the shower). The smell next to our room was bad. Bed linen, dishes and cutlery looked dirty. The manager all the time try to convice us to buy more expensive brunch instead of breakfast. It was so annoying and intrusive. Once when we wanted to buy breakfast he said that on Sundays he doesn't prepare it but finally he made it because maybe he realised that it is not ok. They didn't give us a key to the room, moreover the main gate was most od the time open - the hostel is unsafe.
