    It's a great and clean hostel with everything you need for a short/long stay with reasonable price. The staff were so friendly and attentive. The breakfast was sooo yummy! It is in the center and 5 min. walking to any tourist destinations. The view from the terrace is fascinating!

    Best hostel I stayed in Morocco in. Nice ambience, very clean, comfy beds, and a little bit of accessoires here and there that made the stay very pleasant (and that I was missing in other hostels), like a little shelf next to the bed or hooks in the shower.

    Very nice hostel, bit feels like living with my parents since I have to tell at what time I am coming home…

    That the front door closes at 2.00. I read that on booking, they didn’t even tell me when I checked in. The owner told me I have to write on whatsapp if I was coming later than 2.00. I did on 2 different numbers, but there was no reply. I was a bit sad and frustrated when I came at 3.00 (and when I left, I told them I was coming at that time) and the front door was locked, nobody was answering doorbell or phone.. So if it wasn’t for my friend, I would have to stay on the street….

    It is a very nice hostel, one of the bests I have been to in Morocco. Very artish and comfortable and great place to meet new people. Location is also great. Breakfast was so nice..

    Friendly staff, nearby the ocean and historical sites. Really quiet environment with a nice roof top view of the city. Rooms are comfortable and bathrooms are really clean.

    The cats‘ smell as I am allergic, they were very friendly but unfortunately everywhere. It was a bit noisy, as some not so respectful backpackers literally cried all night in the common areas, so it was challenging to get to sleep. Hostel may want to have stricter rules on bed time quietness.

    Staff (Paul) so friendly, helpful and welcoming! He even helped to carry up my big suitcase! Also great facilities, spacious bathroom & kitchen. Very lovely breakfast with the traveller community, it was easy to mingle with fellow travellers. Also staff helped arrange the best Hamam in town :)

    What a hostel! I met here great people. The building is fascinating. The location is really good close to fishmarket,nice coffee shops etc. The stuff are really helpful. Paul and Nadine are amazing. Everyday at 6 pm there is tea time where you can meet other travelers. Go to terrace during sunset.

    It's already the second time for me at the Chill Art Hostel, it's by far the most comfortable and good value for money hostel you can find in the Medina. the spaces are really beautiful, the terrace and the smoking room are the added value for me. The view is wonderful and the breakfast good and plentiful. The staff is always helpful and kind

    Only thing to mention is that the front door is locked at 2am every night.

    Hostel was clean and comfortable. Staff were excellent and spoke a variety of languages and were helpful with printing boarding passes and arranging cab to airport. The bedrooms themselves were spacious and comfortable, the privacy curtains around the beds were a good touch and there was always good water pressure in the bathrooms. Roof terrace was great too.
