    The hostel is perfect for sociable people looking to make connections and enjoy sharing experiences with others and enjoying the panoramic view in the rooftop. Also the staff are so friendly and helpful.

    Small bar fridge in kitchen for so many people, but the cheap rooftop restaurant helps the cooking situation. Also, There wasn't enough bathroom facilities on the shared dorm level as there are around 3 or 4 rooms on the level we stayed on, and my room was a 16 bed shared dorm. I don't know about the other rooms or how many people they occupied, so it could be a few more people to share with or maybe even 30 more people. Im not to sure, but just a heads up, if you book the cheapest room, expect to stay in a 16 bed shared room. It doesnt tell you how many you share with online when you book the cheap room, but you get what you paid for. If you don't like noise, this is not for you. Many loud and intoxicated people coming in and out at 2am with very thin walls. I think this might be a party hostel so if you want to have an awesome time and meet people, come here it's perfect! Depends on the traveller and your preferences.

    The staff were amazing, and so was the vibe. Great location inside the medina. It's not perfect, but it's definitely worth it and more for the cheap price we paid!!! I would stay here again if I travel on a budget.

    The kitchen was quite messy and dirty, the bathrooms sometimes as well. There was a rooftop which belonged to a restaurant, so you were not allowed to eat t your own food there.

    It was super cheap, the staff was very kind and helpful. The location was great and on the ground floor was a great common space where you could eat and talk.

    Good value but quite cramped and basic

    The dorm was very cramped - they’ve tried to put too many beds in there meaning there is virtually no room to leave your bag. There were also only two showers on our floor between 3 dorms (so around 30 people). I’m also not sure if they wash the blankets they provide you - they don’t provide you with a sheet but instead only a large, thick blanket, so I’m not sure how they’d wash these (and didn’t see any hung up drying in the laundry areas). I don’t know this for sure, though. The restaurant on the rooftop is quite expensive for a cheap hostel so I didn’t eat there (breakfast isn’t included)

    It is a good price, and the location is very central within the old medina so you are a short walk from shops/food and about a 10-15 minute walk to the beach

    there is not much privacy regarding the bathrooms, the entire floor shares one and you can hear noises from the stalls perfectly while showering. floor the rooms was not properly cleaned, esp. in the corners. if you have a bunk bed on top, that is quite high and the ladder is uncomfortable. the food in the restaurant is mediocre at best, but that is not really a problem considering the many restaurants near by.

    the location is amazing, staff is really nice and helps you fast. personally it made me feel more safe, that there is also a woman working at the reception. you can tell that the hostel attracts very much chill people with a nice mindset. the roof is really beautiful and the restaurant itself is very nice. shared spaces are very nice, there is privacy in the bunk beds, the city itself is amazing

    I stayed in a room with two doors, one of which could be opened without any key or code. It didn’t feel very safe, so better ask for a lock and key at the reception. The kitchen wasn’t very clean either.

    The vibe in the hostel was nice, I liked the common area which reminded of a riad. I met very nice people there ! The staff was friendly too, and it was easy to find the hostel even though it’s located in the medina.

    Terrace is amazing, but most part is used as a cafe and guests can use only a small part without paying for its touristic food or cafe. I heard it used to be allowed for guests to use as well. It's only my complain but very important issue.

    Friendly staff and guests, big shared room, perfect location. Wifi was really weak on the terrace, but was improved soon after. The staff works very well.

    Nothing major, only personal preference things I didn't enjoy.

    Nice friendly staff, good socializing/hangout areas. The rooftop area is lovely! Great views. Beds were comfortable and the curtain is nice for privacy. Showers were good and plenty of them!

    It was a bit misleading that most of the roof terrace is a restaurant and only the very top section is for the hostel guest. Also the no alcohol rule was not actually true. Not a problem for me but some people find life easier when there is no alcohol temptation .9

    The view and friendly staff and very clean
