Morocco“Saintlo Jail Hostel is a unique experience! If you’re hypersensitive, you might feel the building’s historic presence. The hostel is very clean, but note there’s no elevator, so heavy luggage can be challenging. Overall, a memorable stay!” - Sarah United States“A unique place to stay. Loved it. The staff were great.”
