    the amount of stairs to get to the rooftop, but i just have bad knees...

    loved it, was warmly welcomed and helped around to excursions and things to do around marrakech. I strongly reccomend they were great ! Rooftop was a big plus ;)

    -small suggestion but having a signpost to make the property more visible at night might be useful to help locate it

    - staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, easy to talk to and made us feel very safe as two female travellers. they also provided loads of i for about what we might enjoy doing on our trip -when we had an issue with our room in the middle of the night , the staff was really accommodating helping us solve the problem -breakfast on the terrace was nice - felt very safe, lockers were provided with keys -quick online communication -very clean and amazing location in medina -great quality for the price point

    Would 100% recommend and stay again when back to Marrakesh!

    I think a deep clean inside the rooms would be nice, and also a shelf for the top beds to put phones, earplugs etc (a book from the woman on the top bed fell on my in the middle of the night because there's no were to leave it when you sleep).

    This hostel is a gem! Very well located and easy to find inside the Medina. Youssef was an amazing host, always helping when I needed and providing the best service. The breakfast is simple but enough (coffee, milk, tea, mermen, butter, fromage, jam, honey, bread and boiled egg). Wifi worked really well (I work remotely and didn't have a problem at all). The hostel is overall clean, enough bathroom for everyone and always clean. The terrace has a nice view as well! I didn't use the kitchen to cook, just made some toast but from what I could see you have everything you need to cook a simple meal.

    Very nice hostel with comfortable rooms, different common areas including a really nice rooftop where you can also enjoy your breakfast in the morning. The people working at the hostel are amazing and happy to help and show you around. We had a really good time and even got help after we missed our train and got stranded in marrakech!!

    The hostel had a very friendly atmosphere. It was quite and calm for beeing inside the medina. Rooms were spacious and cleen and the rooftop was nice with two floors. The hostel maneger was very friendly and generous with all his knowledge of both marrakech, moroccan culture and life in general. We missed our train and he helped us creating a new and much better plan for transport the next day - and we got to stay another night. Definitely the best little place in morocco.

    The staff at this hostel are amazing. Youssef goes above and beyond as the manager, treating the place like his own home. The beds are comfy, and the WiFi is super reliable - I worked remotely from there one day without any issues. The breakfast is fantastic and generous. Plus, the location is perfect - right in the heart of the Medina, but still close to the exit and parking for tour vans. I'm giving it a solid 10/10 - highly recommend!

    I personally don't like the location. It's actually 1 km away from the main square (Jame El fina).

    The host was just amazing, and he can speak and understand English fluently.

    I stayed here and honestly – I was so impressed! Everything was super clean and tidy, and the beds were incredibly comfortable – perfect for a good night's sleep. The location is spot on, close to the city center and ideal if you’re planning any tours – agencies can easily pick you up right outside. The staff were amazing – super friendly and really made an effort to make me feel at home. Breakfast was great, always fresh and tasty. Overall, I truly recommend this place – I can’t wait to come back to Morocco and stay here again!

    Great Value for Restful Hostel

    I got really sick while staying here, not sure why. It may have been unrelated to anything or anyone in the hostel. I didn't like that it was dead silent, no fan or AC and some guy snored LOUD, not the property's fault, I put on wind sounds or used earbuds. As for the property's downside, sometimes you have to wait for the staff to come back to the hostel to help you, even if you text beforehand that you are arriving. But this is not a long wait, only a small problem.

    The breakfast of a hard-boiled egg, bread, jam, butter, tea, coffee, warm milk is good. The staff is responsive for helping you, great value and location. There was no AC at the time but the cool air got into the hostel at night making it okay. Very close to anything you need, corner shop, atm, pharmacy, restaurant. When I had to leave early the staff gave me the breakfast food the night before (the bread was hot and it included a hard boiled-egg). Cleaning was done frequently, bathrooms were in good condition. The foot lockers are good for storing your belongings during the day. The outlet and light next to your head on the top bunk is a good feature.

    My best hostel experience in Morocco so far. The place is super quiet, clean, and stylish. Rooms are spacious, there are lockers, and the bathrooms are freshly renovated. But most importantly, the host is just incredible, and one of the kindest people I've met in Marrakech! It was super nice to chat, and he helped me out a lot. If I ever come back to Marrakech, I'm definitely staying at this hostel again!

    Great location and convenient to reach all the tours from. Convenient breakfast offered from 8am, staff is friendly and willing to help at all times. We managed to check in earlier than the check-in time which we were really appreciative of after an early morning flight. Things to note - no shampoos or shower gels in the showers, towels are available to rent for 1€. Staff can arrange taxi to the airport for 15€
