About The Chill Art Hostel

Eight beds above Essaouira's medina walls, The Chill Art Hostel on Rue Abderrahmane Eddakhil fuses a working art space with backpacker lodging — temporary galleries rotate through the common areas, giving the property a different look each month. The Atlantic shore is a five-minute walk through the ramparts.

The amenity list runs deeper than most hostels: yoga classes, cooking lessons, hammam access, live music evenings, and organised bar crawls all run from the same address. Bicycle rental opens up the coastal road south toward Cap Sim for guests wanting to escape the medina's foot traffic.

Check-in opens at 14:00; check-out is 11:30. The 24-hour desk handles airport shuttle bookings and currency exchange, practical given Essaouira's limited ATM coverage inside the walls.
