    The toilet is separate from our room. There is no soace in the room. No aircon. Breakfast has limited time and is late. There is a curfew. Far from city centre 15 mins walk

    The property is secured by the people staying there.

    There was no real security, it kinda felt anyone coukd walk in and out of the dorms because there was no door lock etc. The olace was also very dark and dingy inside, could be nice decor and ferl more vibrant and homely.

    The staff were nice and helpful

    Showers need some improvement. Unfortunately no lockers to store your personal belongings.

    Was easy to get there with a taxi, so finding the place was not hard. Had nice roof terrace. For such price was great option.

    Fantastic staff! Good location. But noisy and uncomfortable beds.

    The dorm rooms are extremely small. The beds are uncomfortable. The bathrooms are small. And it is EXTREMELY noisy (it's located on a busy street).

    The staff at Jad ZIad are absolutely fantastic. They take the time to tell you about Marrakech, different things to do, etc. Even though it was Ramadan and everyone was fasting, they continued to do a great job keeping the place very clean and being exceptionally helpful and friendly. The breakfast is basic (an egg, local bread, jam, honey, butter, regular bread, and a banana or orange), but sufficient. The terrace upstairs is also a nice place to hang out.

    One of the showers was broken. I had to leave 1H before they served breakfast, so unfortunately I had to miss breakfast and they weren’t flexibly with the time nor did they packed anything to take away.

    The host was nice Close to attractions Place was clean

    There were no lockers and it looked a bit not clean and not renovated in the rooms, especially bathroom and toilets. The carpets in the common area where a bit old.

    The personal was very friendly and helpful. During check in you are treated with sweets and traditional tea. The breakfast prepared by receptionist was rich and tasty. The location is close to the centre. There is a common area.

    Noisy hostel with the door bell ringing at all hours - no useable hangout space in the evening as the staff sleep there. However, very disappointed with this hostel on account of two other things - that they exploited and lied to me. 1. I booked for four nights so I could visit the dessert (3 day 2 night package). I had checked in advance to be told the trip can be arranged through the agency for €80- all inclusive except for lunch (x3). The itinerary was outlined to me. I didn’t unbook the nights I didn’t use, but on arrival asked if that could be done. They told me it couldn’t as it was already paid for thru booking. I didn’t quibble at this. On returning after the tour my bed had been remade and the items I’d left removed. I thought this was odd and asked a guy in the room if my bed had been used - told it had been. I had to ask the hostel to return my items which initially they couldn’t find. So the hostel took my money and no doubt someone else’s for the booking I made. 2. The hostel told me in advance and on booking and paying in person, that the tour was ‘All Inclusive’. This was far from the truth. Of course a trip to the dessert is a great experience and travelling is for sure a privilege not a given right. Parking that aside, you still expect to get what you pay for. The first stop at Ait Benhaddou, a tour guide told us we had to pay to enter the town and also requested money for himself. He also insisted we would need to by a scarf for when in the dessert( we didn’t need)that were sold in the village at an extortionate price. All lunch venues were not a free choice (only roadside restaurant in the vicinity each time) and again priced extortionately. The included ‘hotel’ on the first night had no heating or towels and often no electricity. A basic meal was provided in the evening but any drinks including water, cost extra. On day two a second guide joined the group and again requested money for his service.

    It was clean enough

    The hostel is very difficult to find, and even the locals struggle to find this hostel. Sometimes, the toilet door didn't lock properly. Sometimes, if you ask the hostel staff for recommendations, they wouldn't know and just say to go to the square, which was a bit frustrating at times. Also, it took them nearly three days to give me my change back, which was a bit annoying. It's not about the money per se but the principle.I had to keep asking for my change, and when it was given, it was under not the exact, so I had to tell them to correct it. This happened to other people at the hostel as well. Top tip just give them the exact amount.

    The staff were friendly and nice. The hostel had a good rooftop terrace. It was cleaned daily, which was good. Yusuf made breakfast daily, and it was very nice and filling. The hostel had a good vibe and friendly people staff, and people stayed at this hostel as well. Made some good friends and memories.
