The view from the rooftop terrace was absolutely stunning, especially during sunset. The location was also very convenient, close to many restaurants and just a short walk to the main attractions. Additionally, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, providing excellent recommendations and always wearing a smile.
One major drawback was the unreliable internet connection. It would often drop out during the afternoon and evening, which was quite frustrating.

The rooms were clean and super comfortable, with a mind-blowing view from the rooftop bar. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay amazing. The poodle bar had jaw-dropping food and drinks. Perfect location for exploring, and the capsules gave a great feeling of privacy. Free wi-fi and a restaurant on site. 24-hour security and easy check-in/out. Loads of activities available, from cycling to horseback riding. Beach access and luggage storage.

The staff at the hotel were incredibly helpful and kind. They provided good recommendations and were always willing to assist. The stylish interior of the hotel was impressive, with art designs throughout. The rooftop terrace was a highlight, offering a beautiful view of the ocean and a great place to relax. The beds were also very comfortable, resembling private rooms with lockers for storage. The hotel's location in the center was convenient, with easy access to transportation and the city's attractions.
The lack of a kitchen and fridge, making it difficult to prepare meals or store food. The terrace bar, which could serve as an alternative, was not always open.

The value for money at La Smala was outstanding! The double room with a private bathroom and sea view was worth every penny. The location was perfect, close to the best restaurants and just a short walk to the Kasbah and the beach. The staff treated us like family and were always friendly and helpful.
The breakfast menu could use a little more variety.

Beautiful rooftop with stunning sea views and a great atmosphere. the decor was modern and lush, creating a relaxing environment. - the staff was lovely and provided helpful recommendations for restaurants and transportation.
The rooms were small and felt stuffy, with limited ventilation options. Some amenities were not properly finished or missing, such as towel racks in the shared bathrooms.

The rooftop bar and restaurant was amazing, offering stunning views and delicious breakfast. the location was perfect, centrally located and ideal for exploring the city.
Some of the bathrooms were not clean and the sheets were not always changed after guests had slept in the beds. the rooms did not lock securely and getting belongings into the top bunk lockers was difficult.

We had the most amazing stay at La Smala! The view from our room was incredible, overlooking the ocean and the ancient canons. Watching the sunset from the roof terrace was breathtaking. The staff, especially Guka, were extremely helpful and even arranged a fun quad bike experience for us along the beach. The location was perfect, close to the best restaurants in the medina and just a short walk to the Kasbah and the beach. I highly recommend this hostel for anyone visiting Essaouira.
