The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The beds were traditional (as I expected) and comfortable. Breakfast was good and tastefully served. I ate dinner there as well and while I thought it a bit expensive it was good and I could continue to enjoy the comfort of the riad.

The bed was very comfortable and the hostel was on a good location. The roof terrace is excellent. Bathroom not too clean, either light, shower head or door lock broken in most showers. Noisy in evenings.

Riad el Pacha is an excelent choice for staying in Essaouira! Right in the middle of the Medina, not so difficult to find, close to everything you need to spend a great time on that city... The computer was broken, but the girl in the reception lend us her netbook everytime we needed it, with no problems. The only difuiculty we had was to comunicate with the guy in charge at night, he oly speas arab language, but with signs it was ok. Very recomendable choice!

Very helpful and friendly staff, and plenty of interesting people coming and going. Shared dorm is a great way of meeting other travellers. The roof terrace is great as the beach is often too windy.

Worst hostel in my life. We reserve for two night, then we had the worst room of the riad. Humidity, dust on the furniture, and the must, pubic hairs on the sheet. Even if we do not want take the room, the direction refuse the repayment, even the reservation taxe of 5 euros. I don't recommand this hostel which is in a bad place. I don't think so Rollings Stones were worry about pubic hairs, but with my wife it is a another questions.

hostel el pacha in essaouira was lovely to arrive at after a long day travelling . Easy to find with the directions given and beautifully peaceful. We only stayed one night but would recommend it to all, the cost is excellent and the bedroom clean and not pokey. The bathrooms are tremendous, which is always a bonus. The staff were friendly and helpful. Every night we were playing cards and sharing tea and shisha with other guests a very good hostel to meet people. Thanks will return
