Reviews of Yakout hostel

The hostel is well placed as it is close to the medina and not far from the beach. The young men that worked there seemed nice. The view from the roof terrace is lovely. There is a kitchen with fridge and kettle. The price was good. The living room sofa was comfortable.

It´s difficult to find the first few times as nothing to indicate that it´s a hostel and the first few days we had to knock to get in before they gave us a key. The man did wait for us on the corner the first time and sent us the location via whatsapp but I didn´t have internet. You have to go down many narrow alley ways to get there and my children were a bit scared at night as smells of hashish etc. They told us to use showers in reception that didn´t look very private but luckily we found a bathroom upstairs which was being shared by all the guests so sometimes a wait to enter and sometimes no toilet roll. The roof terrace had a lovely view but just a few plastic chairs to sit on, not as nicely set up as other hostels I´ve been in. The biggest upset, however, was that one night at approx 1am someone entered our room when we were sleeping (my daughter had forgotten to lock it when she came back from the bathroom), I jumped out of bed and quickly followed the person out to the corridor and it was a Moroccan woman who I hadn´t seen before. The next day I saw her in the hostel so I believe she was one of the staff but she didn´t speak English. Finally, there was no breakfast on offer so that is an error on this listing. It seems more like a private house with the rooms being rented out rather than an actual hostel.

No nonsense, clean & friendly place to stay. Has a roof terrace with views over the Corniche and beyond. The kitchen is very handy with hob, kettle & fridge. Maybe take some disposable cutlery. One thing that I would point out is that it's REALLY EASY TO FIND. Enter the Medina on Rue Portugal at the Rue d'Amerique then quite simply KEEP TURNING RIGHT AT EVERY OPTION.

The staff so so nice!

What I would change is that there were no cutlery to eat with.

nothing, the view on the second floor is nice, but sitting there is extremely unhiegenic.

Extremely bad service, we weren't treated as welcomed customers. As we have tried to contact the host beforehand regarding a special request and he did not answer. And when he did, he said " i did not hear the phone i was sleeping" it was 12:30 pm by then. We checked in at 1 pm, and the host just gave us the keys and tried to go, until i have informed him to show us around. He did not even attempt to welcome us. The smell in the room is unbearable, as the hostel in general is NOT hiegenic. Please bring your own covers if you ever decide to come there, very bad idea. Fast forward the kitchen is lacking essential items. and the worst of all is the false promise of providing breakfast in the morning. as we did not receive it the day after. And lastly, when we have tried to check out at 12pm mas indicated, the host did not answer us still. we decided to leave the tax payment money on the table ( found below in the picture) and leave the keys inside the house and leave.

Smack in the heart of the medina…a little awkward to find at first but easy enough once I’d worked it out after a couple of attempts😅

Nothing to dislike I’d definitely stay again

Was not clean and there was missing toilet paper or some small comfort

it's hard to find the location

Location is very hard to reach from first time as it was inside narrow steeets in medina even by maps

In the heart of the Old Medina part of Tangier. Not for everyone as it is full of narrow twisting ginels. Friendly host, Mohammed. Great seaview from my room. About a 10 min walk to the beach. Clean accommodation. Good value for money

No AC. Would have benefitted with a small electric fan, especially in high season.

This hostel is in a great location and has a nice view. The owner is helpful and the room was basic but Characteristics, enough for the price. So far good stay

The map can be improve as it's not easy to find it. GPS does not stop In the right place. But the owner help us in such a short time to find it and sent the live location

The location was great and for the price we paid I feel that it was a very reasonable accommodation. There was construction going on right above our heads I left it until about 12:30am to say anything but once I did it was immediately stopped which was great!! Easy check in and out Rooftop terrace was very nice

The mattresses were very hard As a female a full length mirror would have been lovely especially as it was a deluxe room Cleanliness levels not great, but again, for the money I paid I wouldn’t ask for anymore, once you are okay with this and have budget travelled before there should be no issues

- Check in late at Night was no Problem - very friendly owner - Communication with the owner

- Hard matress - terrace at the roof under construction

Nothing

The location is perfect. The view from the top is amazingly beautiful and the host is equally a nice person.

The beds are hard.
