The Chill Art Hostel is located in Essaouira, 200 metres from Market Place and 400 metres from Othello Garden. The property is situated 2 km from Essaouira Assawak Assalam. The property is 4.1 km from Viewpoint. Best hostel I stayed in Morocco in. Nice ambience, very clean, comfy beds, and a little bit of accessoires here and there that made the stay very pleasant (and that I was missing in other hostels), like a little shelf next to the bed or hooks in the shower.

Boasting a shared lounge, a terrace as well as a restaurant, Riad Dar Afram is set in the centre of Essaouira, 600 metres from Plage d'Essaouira. Ideally located in the Old Medina district, this hostel is situated 5.9 km from Golf de Mogador. The accommodation offers evening entertainment and a concierge service. Staying at Riad Dar Afram was truly one of the highlights of my trip to Essaouira. The riad itself is full of character—beautifully decorated with artistic touches, cozy corners, and a rooftop that’s perfect for relaxing after a day in the medina. But what truly made the experience unforgettable was Saida, the heart and soul of the riad. From the moment I arrived, she welcomed me with such warmth and genuine kindness that I immediately felt at home. She’s not only incredibly friendly, but also always ready to help—whether it’s with recommendations, directions, or just a lovely chat over mint tea. Her energy lights up the entire place. If you’re looking for a place that’s more than just a stay—somewhere that feels personal, inspiring, and full of soul—Dar Afram is it. Thank you, Saida, for everything. I’ll definitely be back!
