    It is a cheap and good hostel in the old town of Tanger. The host and the assistant were nice and chatty. It is important to note that the rooms don't have a window. Also, the bathrooms have, due to the ancient building the hostel is located in, no ventilation.

    Unfortunately the terrace was wrecked by a storm, and they said they are going to rebuild it. At present only part of it can be used. The stairs are very steep and it's easy to slip. The stairway and one of the bathrooms need some paint. The sink In one of the bathrooms leaks, and the floor gets all wet when it's used. The room smells of mold so we had to keep the door and the window open when people don't sleep.

    The location is central in the old Medina. Most of the points of interest in Tanger are within walking distance. There is common space in every floor. The kitchen is well equipped. The wifi is good and there are many places to work on the laptop. They make a cup of Moroccan tea for every new guest. :)

    The hostel is lovely, great decoration, but the highlight is the staff. They're extremly nice, took us to a local live music act, we would have never encountered otherwise and we all hung out on the beautiful terrace later.

    There was no one there when I arrived I thought maybe the staff was busts but not - they were asleep - guys working there staying up night and then they wake up super late Rooms don’t really have windows outside but to the inner part of the house which is problematic - if there is one person talking outside the room you can hear as if they were sitting next to you. Internet was slow

    Great location - just in Medina. Nice surroundings. Pleasant atmosphere. Friendly staff. Overall - good experience and I would stay there again.

    The rooms on the second floor is a little bit smelly. Kitchen could use an upgrade.

    It's was the only hostel with electric heating convectors during my 2 weeks winter stay in Morocco. Everywhere else in Morocco felt cold at night.

    The bathroom fixtures could use a bit of love and hand soap would be appreciated. As others have mentioned, there are men waiting in the streets who want to guide you to the hostel for money and can be quite hostile when you refuse. Thus, I want to help future guests by giving them directions and pictures. Directions: When you pass through the stone archway next to Dar Laghrib Guest House (colorful hats and blue shutters), turn immediately left onto Rue Wadras. Turn right onto Rue Raiss when you see the tree murals, and the hostel is #40 on the left at the end of the alley (blue and white walls). Note: If you go straight instead of turning onto Rue Raiss, there is a #40 at the end of the street with a light blue door and cactus murals, but this is not the hostel. See annotations on photos for a visual guide. Hope this helps! :)

    Great value right in the heart of the Medina but down a quiet street. Cleaning lady does a very thorough job. Very friendly, welcoming hosts with great hospitality. The women in my room were incredibly sweet and friendly, with lots of great advice and recommendations. Highly recommend for a more authentic local experience!

    Sometimes run out of toilet paper. Didn’t like the airfresher spray. It be nice to have charging station at each bed.

    Good vibe, common area chilling. Comfortable beds. Lockers outside of dorm rooms. Showers. Water pressure. Location. Hosts were kind and helpful, it felt like they were like us not hotel managers. Mohammed is a great host.

    My stay at Banana Atlas Hostel exceeded my expectations. As someone who isn't accustomed to the hostel experience, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The staff was incredibly friendly, creating a welcoming and fun atmosphere that made my stay truly enjoyable. They played a significant role in enhancing my experience in Tangier by offering excellent recommendations for local spots to visit and advice on transportation. Overall, the Banana Atlas Hostel contributed greatly to my memorable trip.

    Could be a bit noisy for light sleepers since there are people checking in late at night. Also, the place is a bit hard to find at first.

    It’s in the heart of the Medina, great location, friendly staff (Mohammed is a super cool guy), and no bed bugs. The place seemed to be well-maintained with staff cleaning the space once a day.
