Juan, United States of America

Wonderful rooftop terrace. When I was sick they were very nice.

Eric, United States of America

Amazing location just in the heart of Medina ! Great value for the money ! You really wont find any other place that close to the main square at this price! The hostel is colourful with a tree inside, be sure to visit all the bathrooms before taking a shower / some of them are way nicer than the others ! There is a nice roof top pity nothing happens there and the hostel is missing some social life.

Breakfast was good. Location is good, but might be hard to find for some people.

Moraru, Romania

My friend and I stayed here for a few nights and absolutely loved it. The staff were amazing.. very accommodating and knowledgable. It is a very chill environment. One of the best hostels I've stayed in.

Melina, Canada

Good hostel right next to the big famous square in Marrakech medina. The location is indeed perfect .. at first can be very complicated to reach it... By chance of luck in my own experience. He rooms are enough for a 5€/night price tag although the in my opinion they miss a little comfort. The high point is the place itself. Very beautiful with a interior courtyard and a big Terrace overlooking the medina. I did not like the bathrooms not so hygienic... It's not Europe... But still it's Marrakech. Free WiFi.

João, Norway

Very close to the main square, but tucked away in a corner to be quiet enough. Breakfast was delicious. Chill vibe. Luggage storage after checkout was excellent. Clean bath towels were available to use for free, which was useful.

Do not Recommend to book a Sahara tour through the hostel. Hostel located very convenient area, and overall stay was passable. But you’d better to book Sahara tour from different agencies. The tour the hostel offer is far from what it says on a leaflet. 1. We did not go to Rose Valley 2. Hotel in first night was not private (3-4pax, but from the same tour participants, so not the worst) 3. Camp site is stone through away from the car park! Camels just walk around dunes hiding the site. It was 30mins ride although it was supposed to be 1-1.5hr into the dessert. No camel ride in the following morning. We had to walk back to the car park. 4. Some of us who were arranged to go to Fes were kicked out from a bus towards Fes and compelled to get into a taxi. The taxi waited 3others to fit it for extra 1.5hr at the dessert. Luckily we did not pay any extra, but totally different from the original plan. Better to watch out.

I was given a spot in an 8-bed dorm room, which is not what I booked. Toilet near the entrance frequently ran out of toilet paper.

Cheap price and cool personnel. Had a great time talking to Younes and exploring the souks of Marrakesh. The Jemaa el Fna is just around the corner and there is a lot to see. The location is just perfect and the rooftop terrace is super inviting. They even have a turtle living there. I had a pleasant stay!

The odour house. It is dirty and dusty. It might look beautiful but dont't let that deceive you. I don't understand why it has good opinions in here. To begin with, sheets and linen were dirty and worn out. After sleeping for two nights on my bed, I was told to move to another one to leave mine free for another customer, and to my surprise, they didn't change the sheets, but only folded them and prepared the bed with the same I slept in. The pillow doesn't have a case, it is used by everybody and I highly doubt it is washed. The blankets are sticky as well. I am allergic and I had asthma everynight due to the dust, thankfully I had mi inhaler with me. My friends towel disappeared too. When it comes to the toilets and showers, bring your flipflops with you if you don't want to get moulds or and infection in your feet. Everything was disgusting, and definitely not clean. But don't worry, you won't have to face this alone, cockroaches will be there with you. And this is not the biggest problem with the washrooms. Only two showers are available so hurry up or you will have to queue up for 20 mins before you can take a shower. The same with the toilets. And the last straw to all of this is the fact that rooms communicate with the inside patio, so at night you won't be able to go to sleep soon if you are tired, as it is not silent at all. The hosts and employees working there will be next to your window, talking and listening to music despite being 23-24h and you trying to sleep.
It is inside Medina

So many travellers left and the bed sheets never got changed. We left for a trip in the dessert and although we had our things left on the beds,they were taken from other travellers when we came back from the dessert. In the whole hostel there are only 2 bathrooms with showers.
The hostel was situated close to the market. The breakfast was really good.

I didn't see during 2 days even 1 smile from the receptionist. Even during breakfast, they didn't ask as if they can take the food from the table even if we didn't finished. That made our good impression from our stay a bit law. But on other side, they did everything and also some thing extra. like we asked them that we are 11 and if we can put 1 mattress in our room by 10 so everyone can stay together. and for them it wasn't problem at all :-) Also from their initiative they helped us with heavy luggage. and Lady i guess she was cleaner she was really nice and polite.
That place was just an amazing, colorful and such a beautiful. I loved the bathroom, almost bigger then our room. really Interesting place. And also breakfast was great for that price !!

Administration. Please develop a program for check in. Better to do the registration on computer, print a digital paper, sign it and give a copy for the visitor. It will be easier for both sides and looks professional. in this century it's funny to make registration on a copy Book.

The room had a few too many beds crammed in with not much space for people's bags, the staff weren't particularly talkative or helpful and the unfortunately the pool is no longer in use.
It's a really pretty hostel with a great terrace that was a lot of fun in the evenings. The location is absolutely fantastic and couldn't be improved, I never felt like I had to go far for anything in Marrakech.
