Hostel La Smala has a shared lounge, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Essaouira. Ideally set in the Kasbah district, this hostel is situated 5.9 km from Golf de Mogador.

The bed was so uncomfortable especially the pillow. Also dangerously high and stuffy at night. Excellent spot and beautiful hostel, just unfortunate sleeping arrangements.

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.

    Exceptional hospitality by the staff and the travellers & nomads staying at the hostel. So far, I have never felt being home and ease of making friends staying in a hostel that much. Plus, it is so clean that from bathroom to dormitory room you cannot see any dirt or dust, and the interior is well-decorated. Overall, the best hostel to me, at least for now.

    The hostel is well placed in the city -- easily accessible by foot and in a safe area. The staff were welcoming and accomodating. The shared bathrooms were what you would expect from a hostel -- functional but definitely not luxurious. The rooms were secure and comfortable. The quality for the price is great, especially when traveling alone. I would recommend this hostel to anyone 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.
