The Location
No Air conditioning
staff a la hauteur, très bon emplacement
ras
Die Lage und das Personal sind super
Staff y el desayuno
Pocos espacios comunes y terraza incómoda y sucia
Que des arnaques,Les images publiées sont tres loin de la réalité,j'étais décu par le choix de cet hotel,Le chef m'a demandé de payer une nuité pour qu'il accepte l annulation gratuite de mes 3 nuitées
Nul nul
The staff was incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful throughout my stay, Great experience overall.
Everything was great overall, but the toilets could definitely use some improvement.
Comfy firm mattress and cosy decoration. Great value for money and location.
It could be quite happening on and off with the noises of people talking along the street and using phones outside of the windows throughout the evening till morning.
Es un hostel muy cómodo, céntrico y el personal es muy agradable. Las instalaciones están bastante decentes y el desayuno está muy bueno.
No es tan social como otros hostels. Sería bueno que organizaran alguna actividad.
The location
Boa localização e café da manhã. Staff muito atencioso.
O banheiro não tinha boa vazão de água ou O ralo estava entupido.
Personnels au top Super bien placé ! Proche d’absolument tout. Ce n’est pas le logement le plus propre que nous ayons eu mais franchement comparé à d’autre logement sur Essaouira plein d’humidité et de moisissures celui ci fait largement l’affaire.
Attention si vous avez la chambre du haut, vous risquez d’être vu lorsque vous vous douchez ou êtes au toilettes par des personnes allant sur la terrasse au dessus.
Our staying was good, the staff were very kind, friendly, and helpful, the location is convenient to be near everything around the city, I recommend.
Rien à signaler ! Top
I like the hospitality 👌
Nothing
Un grand merci à Hassan et Anwar, ainsi qu’à l’ensemble du personnel de l’hostel, pour leur accueil chaleureux, leur gentillesse et leur disponibilité. Une belle expérience grâce à vous !
El ambiente y como estaba construido , su gente amable !
Quiza un baño algo incómodo
Très beau
La chambre est mixte, il vaut mieux qu'elle soit pour les femmes ou pour les hommes. C'était très choquant pour moi de voir que je dois rester avec quatre hommes et une seule femme surtout que nous étions tous des marocains
nettes Personal
extrem laut , nichts um 2 :00 kamen die Besoffenen zurück und randalierten auf dem Dach. Auch sonst war es recht laut . Das Frühstück war für Marokkanische Verhältnisse sehr ! spatanisch
People and location
They should try to make feminine and male dorms
Amazing stay! Everything was perfect, super friendly staff and great atmosphere. I’ll definitely come back! ❤️
Nothing
Falta llum al rooftop
The Hostel is conveniently located near all the amenities, and the staff are so nice and friendly; it feels like you’ve known them for ages.
L'emplacement et personnels Sympa
Hassan is de beste host, doet het met zijn hart! Tof persoon, enthousiast en helpt!
L'esmorzar era molt generós, el personal amable i atent i la resta d'hostes molt simpàtics. Les instal·lacions eren molt còmodes. El millor alberg on vaig estar al Marroc i on millor m'ho vaig passar.
Les taquilles eren molt petites i no tenien cadenat. No era fàcil deixar les coses de valor protegides, però tampoc em van robar i el personal em va oferir deixar-les a recepció (cosa que no vaig fer, perquè al final no va caldre).
Ben posizionato in una zona tranquilla della Medina. Ottimo prezzo.
I piccoli lavandini nel corridoio sono poco pratici.
Bon hébergement proche du centre ville je recommande 👍
Everything ; the staff the location , the breakfast ...everything!
I wish they had a kitchen that could be used and perhaps the furniture on the roof could be replaced.
Rapport qualité-prix très super bien, hotel tranquille, calme, propre et personnel était sympa
I like the staff they were friendly and welcoming, The breakfast was good and the statement was clean too. It was a good experience in that place so I can recommend it to friends.
The rooftop wasn't that good as it seems in pictures, I hope they fix that in future and make it better and comfortable
Lokalizacja była perfekcyjna, pokòj był czysty problem tylko z łazienką , ale czego sie spodziewać można była , personel pomocny, śniadania smaczne szkoda ze tylko trzy wybory
Łazienka kiepsko schodziła woda z pod prysznica zalewało łazienke
The staff were fantastic , helpful very chatty and friendly . Breakfast was good but I do like to eat more in the more , so bought my own fruit.But I am sure if I asked they would have catered for my appetite! The 1st floor bathroom was a great size and always clean.
Even though it states there is a kitchen it isn't really for guests to use. HOWEVER, I asked Hassan and he allowed me to use it in the evenings when I needed to cook something for myself. The roof terrace is very very small BUT is it cosy and sweet . You could here the call to prayer from the mosques in 3D sound..it was amazing!!
I was greeted by a very friendly African man called Assan, How was very personable,,& i could see he was very professional in his approach but also was going above & beyond to ensure all the guests were well looked after , After the first night enquired if it would be possible to swope to the lower bed as i was feeling alittle nervous about climbing up and down in the night & also afraid i might have been disturbing the othe guests r with the bed moving . This wasnt a problem for Assan & assured me that there was ample room so i was welcome to change beds . Had delicious mint & glove tea made for us whenever we asked ,very tasty .also made by Assan All in all a lovely stay
Nothing at all
The most delightful hostel, staff were excellent
Nothing, all excellent
Szuper kedves, segítőkész személyzet, a kitűnő lokáció és a bőséges reggeli
A szekrényeket nem lehetett zárni, csak ha vittél saját lakatot.
great location. nice double bed and a lamp!
bathroom constantly wet. no real designated place really eat your breakfast. terrace could use a cleaning!
L’emplacement, le lit était super confortable.
Je trouve que c’est un peut cher pour un hostel au Maroc mais rien de méchant.
Giraffe Hostel is perfect for a few days in Essaouira! The hostel is in a great location, tucked away, but still a few minutes' walk away from everything. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Assane even went far out of his way to help me get my swimsuit back after I Ieft it behind and organised a taxi to drive it to Taghazout! I'll never forget his kindness. If you're in Essaouira, this is the place to stay. :)
very welcoming staff and good breakfast
It’s a very nice hostel full of personality and worker are amazing! The breakfast was very nice and you could choose between three different ones! The location is perfect and I love the curtain for the bed
The bed was very uncomfortable especially because the pillow was super hard tiny and low… I was not sure if the sheets had been changed because there was a blood stain, and I didn’t saw anybody change it when I arrived… they didn’t offer me a towel not even the possibility to buy it and in every hostel I’ve been there was always this possibility. The shower was basically inside the toilet and this is not something I really love…
Super acceuil, gentils serviables et bon petit dej au choix 👌
Très bonne adresse, je recommande
Excellent séjour dans ce hostel à Essaouira ! L’emplacement est parfait, en plein cœur de la médina, proche de tout. Le personnel est très accueillant et sympathique, aussi bien à la réception que la dame qui prépare le petit déjeuner avec beaucoup de gentillesse. Le rooftop est calme et agréable pour se détendre. Les lieux sont propres, clean et bien entretenus. J’ai vraiment beaucoup aimé l’ambiance et je recommande vivement 😊
El trato, servicio y flexibilidad.
On a passé un super séjour dans cette auberge. L’emplacement est idéal, le personnel est tellement attentionné, aidant et agréable ! L’énergie de cette auberge est très agréable.
Good Location Good Staff Clean Place
- Staff were lovely - Area was cleaned regularly
- Bathrooms need hooks added so you can hang towels and clothes while showering
Very comfortable beds, my second time staying here and I slept just as good. Nice breakfast, especially the fact that you can choose what you want from 3 options
The bathrooms could be cleaner
Les gens sont vraiment gentils, securitaire
Rien…
Meilleur hostel et ville de mon voyage
Rien les gens sont vraiment gentil et a notre service, super joyeux, bel atmosphère vraiment
El precio y la localización
Las instalaciones
Nicely decorated. Breakfast was ok.
The environment was quite noisy, with conversations and door-slamming persisting throughout the night. While this may be conducive to social interaction, it is certainly not ideal for restful sleep.
la terrasse au dessus de la ville et l'emplacement
le manque de lumière depuis les lits du dortoir
Die Angestellten waren sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich, die Lage war perfekt und das Frühstück auch sehr lecker
Dusche und Klo quasi direkt nebeneinander, Boden daher durchgehend nass (nur eins pro Etage)
Situación, a un paso de todo
Las camas bajas de las literas están en el suelo, un poco incómodas para entrar y salir
The staff were very helpful and kind. A centrally located hostel with easy access. Breakfast on the rooftop was very pleasant.
The room wasn’t the cleanest when we arrived, but after we mentioned it, they changed all the bedding and everything was fine. The bathroom/toilet could also have been a bit cleaner.
L accueil .... Le sourire la gentillesse ! L emplacement proche de tout. Et calme la nuit.
El personal y desayuno
Très bon emplacement dans la médina tout en étant au calme. Les lieux sont très propres et très beaux! petit déjeuner délicieux et copieux. Le personnel est à l'écoute, réactif et sympathique. La chambre était propre et très agréable !
Such friendly staff and wonderful atmosphere. Great location too!
