    Only stayed one night. Staff were awesome, made me a packed breakfast because I was checking out early :). Nice rooftop terrace for socializing. Quiet location away from the chaos of the central square.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at Sunhostel, and I must say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The first thing that stood out was the consistently hot water, providing the most refreshing showers. The water pressure was fantastic, and the cleanliness of the bathroom facilities was impeccable. Sunhostel's location couldn't be better. Situated in a prime area, it offered easy access to nearby attractions and public transportation. Despite its central location, the hostel was surprisingly quiet, creating a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring the city. The staff was friendly, accommodating, and always ready to assist, making the overall atmosphere warm and welcoming. I can confidently give Sunhostel a perfect 10/10 rating. If you're looking for a place with hot water, excellent showers, a convenient location, and a quiet environment, Sunhostel is the ideal choice. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

    I liked everything. It’s a lovely hostel. It’s 100% clean , the room is very good, the bed is big and comfortable, the rooftop is a wonderful place . The breakfast is very good , the owners are very kind and helpful. And the location couldn’t be better . Is inside the medina but not in the fullest area, so there is no noise to disturbing sleep.

    The breakfast was not great - only one boiled egg and some bread and jam. But considering it's a hostel, getting any breakfast included at all is a plus!

    Friendly staff, comfortable room with heat. Great location. Regular cleaning of the bathrooms and replenishing toilet paper.

    Sun Hostel is a very cozy Hostel. It's very close to the town centre and only about a 5min walk to anything you might need. The owner Ou and her brother Simba are so friendly and take really good care of everything. It's clean, quiet and very comfortable.

    The hostel's ideal location, close to various tourist sites, made getting around easy. The cleanliness of the facilities and well-maintained amenities contributed to an overall enjoyable experience. I highly recommend Sun Hostel to any traveler seeking a memorable stay in this charming destination.

    My stay at Sun Hostel was absolutely fantastic! The staff's welcoming attitude created a friendly atmosphere from the moment I arrived. The rooms were spotless and comfortable, providing a haven of relaxation after a day of exploration.

    The terrace was nice. It's a nice place to meet people. Breakfast was good.

    Coffee was not an option for breakfast, but tea was available. The wifi signal was weak or nonexistent in the our room.

    The day before our arrival, we got a message with a guide to get to the hostel safely, a list of the best restaurants in the area and a list of the touristic tours available. Sun hostel was clean and perfumed. Ou was super responsive via whatsapp, always available to help with any issue.

    The staff spoke poor english. They didn’t have enough entrance door keys and towels for all the guests. I forgot my passport in the hostel and noticed just at the airport. When I tried calling to arrange someone to bring it to me no one picked up. It was 5am so I can understand people are sleeping.

    No street noise. Breakfast included and since I had to leave early in the morning they even gave it to me the evening before.

    Paid to much taxes at arrival, because I booked a 2-persons room for myself. My booking was for 1 person but was told I made a booking for 2, so had to pay the taxes twice.

    Great location on less than 10min walk from Jemaa el-Fnaa, and quiet area. Price-quality as expected. Rooms en sanitary are small but very clean en showers are good. Moroccan breakfast served at the roof-terrace is very nice! Also the shuttle from the airport was good arranged, and they came to pick me up at the point the taxi couldn’t get into the medina any further. So I didn’t have to find my way through the medina myself at night to find the location.

    If you could mention about city tax charge.

    Break was filling and the owner prepared us take-away snack for our early trips. We stayed in double bed room and it was comfortable, clean and had air conditioning in the room. Roof top launge was nice to chill out for breakfast and during evening. Owner was helping in providing us with tips during our trip, from currency exchage, place to eat & visit. Overall, it was very pleasant stay.

    Beautiful hostel, clean and the bed was really comfy. The accomodation is in a very convenient location, just 10 mins walk to jemaa el-fna. Ou is an excellent host! She contacted us before arrival and gave us clear instructions on how to get there. She was very friendly and helpful with anything we needed.

    The road to access the hostel might seem a bit dark, but it’s just the first impression, the area feels safe, with lively local homes and other hotels nearby.

    The hostel is quiet and clean, the rooms are simple but nice and very good position in the Medina. Very good value for money.

    Best place we stayed in Morocco (and by far)
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Standard Double Room

    Nothing, we were left with only positive experiences!

    We were in Morocco for 9 days and stayed in 6 different accommodations in 5 different cities - Sun Hostel was the BEST by far! It was the cleanest and coziest of all the places we stayed in. We felt very welcomed - communication with the host Hassan was great even before we arrived - he messaged us to make sure we were okay and that we could find the location; he provided useful tips on how to navigate the streets of the Medina to find it. He was the best host we could have - very friendly and welcoming. He speaks fluent English (which was a problem with a lot of the other places), he was very knowledgeable of the city and did everything to help us feel at home at Sun Hostel. For the hostel itself: -very clean -air conditioner in the room -kitchen for common use with utensils and appliances (oven, stove top, fridge, washing machine) -clean towels, sheets, TP; always warm water -breakfast included with very tasty Moroccan tea -great location -great price -effortless communication -BEST HOST!

    The receptionist is a very noisy person who does not respect the guests' rest. Laughter and voices at all hours with a cocky and disrespectful attitude. In addition, the breakfast is very basic. If you are going to sleep on the street you can spend a night in the hotel, but I do not recommend a longer stay.

    The girl in the kitchen is very kind and respectful.
