    The mamagement of the beds is chaotic, nobody knows which is his. As a result my towel got stolen and I had to take another bed! Also bring your own toilet items.

    In the middle of everything you are there to visit!

    There was not any blockade for the second floor bed, which made me nervous to sleep. And they didnt take cash. Even though they said it was possible to pay by card, they changed their word by saying that paying by card is for more than 30 euros. They didnt say so at first.

    The breakfast was more than I expected. And their location was near the ferry.

    Great location, great atmosphere, great staff, great breakfast. Somewhat dark and damp dorm

    My dorm (6) and I was told some others, suffered from seriously damp walls. That may have been due in part to the three preceding days of very heavy rain and the age of the building. It was also quite dark with a very low wattage lamp. Others might have found this unacceptable. I would have preferred a brighter and dryer dorm but it wasn't at all intolerable - especially at the price- and I'd very happily stay again.

    The location was perfect. The Medina is hugely evocative and interesting - if a bit of a culture shock if you've not been to similar type places before. The staff - though small in number - are fantastic. The rooftop was during my time there a fantastic gathering place and focal point where it was impossible after a minute or two not to socialise and be drawn into conversation. The free, 'local' breakfasts were filling and excellent though if you want ( I didn't) standard 'western' hotel type fare you might be disappointed.

Not all carbs.

    Our room was next to the reception, with no real door so very noisy. The room didn’t lock. It was not so clean. Also, we had an issue with the transport the riad booked to go to the airport: 45min after the agreed time it was still not there..

    The place is perfectly located, the terrace is nice

    No soap and toilet paper in the bathroom :( Rooms are quite small. It can get noisy if your room is in the second floor, under the rooftop terase (which is beautiful!). But this is what creats a hostel’s atmosphere so you know well in advance what to expact when you book a hostel :)

    Staff was very nice and helpfull

    I asked for a lower bed at booking. They said yes. When i got there, they didnt have one, so i had to go up another flight of stairs. Also, no coffee. I stayed at another hostel, in the Medina, less price and got breakfasr & coffee!

    During my stay couple people claimed they had had cash stolen from their rooms. In certain aspects some of male staff could have behaved in a more professional manner.

    Great location at the edge of the medina - easy to find (this is important!). Staff was helpful. Breakfast was basic but filling. Clean place.

    The window was just heading towards the riad hallway and could barely be closed with a lock. Leaving stuff unattended there felt a bit insecure. Also, bathroom has no window and ventilation was very loud.

    Location was great, close to the taxi station at Grand Hotel Boulevard which made it easy for us to leave to the airport in the morning. Cosy vibe and they helped us to pay by card (one of the fewest times in Morocco) by going to a shop and using their POS.

    The bedroom doors don’t close easily and their extremely loud. Bathroom is inside the bedroom and the door was just as loud as the bedroom door. Also there were no lockers to keep your belongings safe - the one available were too small to keep a travel bag.

    Excellent location, really welcoming staff, comfortable bed and an excellent breakfast in a rooftop.

    The breakfast that was included is supposed to start at 9:30 but there was a delay so we had to take it to-go to catch our bus. Also, this isn't really the hostels fault, but the other occupants in the 8 bed dorm were horrible (made a mess of the bathroom, were talking loudly on the phone at night when people were sleeping, looking at all the sleeping guests in the room and acting creepy, etc.) Perhaps more security measures could help this problem, otherwise I'd suggest booking in a smaller dorm or private room.

    The building is nice and has a beautiful rooftop where the breakfast is served. It has a good location and friendly staff, and the beds were comfortable. The wifi was good as well.
