    Rooms have four sets of bunk beds, but eight beds in total in the room. There was some confusion about this.

    Very easy to find and central, clean, comfortable beds, friendly staff, nice outdoor area on the terrace.

    Such a lovely stay thanks to fun and kind team. The location of the hostel is perfect, in the heart of medina and close to the fish harbour and beach. Hostel is small and cosy with a great rooftop and loads of plants and nice details that make it look really cool. Wifi works perfectly all over the place. You will be spoiled with fresh breakfast (egg omelette, msemen and more) served to the table. Ask the staff for food recommendation and your foodie experience will blow your mind :)) Thanks Yusra, Mira, Rob, Brahim and a Moroccan Girl I unfortunately didn't get the name, you all do amazing job, cheers!

    Cheap but awesome

    There’s 2 showers and toilets, the one next to the dorm the shower head is right on top of the toilet.. the showers downstairs are much better but it was fixed only at my last night there. The terrace is closed at sharp midnight and you can’t sit downstairs because you need to seat in “pure silence” so it’s a little annoying especially on the weekend. But I highly recommend this hostel! The atmosphere is like home and you get to meet a lot of travelers!

    I stayed there for 3 nights in the dorms and 2 nights at the private room, the terrace is really nice to chill, it’s right in the center of everything that you want, the host Ibrahim is really nice! It’s like a home for all the travelers

    The day I went, the hostel was under renovations, which may have reduced my experience. Also, the bathroom for showers is too far away from the bedroom, on the bottom floor.

    Good staff and a very friendly atmosphere. Ok beds and good wi-fi. Cheap price for this colorful riad inside the city's medina.

    There are just two bathrooms and in one the drain smells badly. The staff said it is a problem of the city canalisation. So maybe nothing that can be changed. And the other bathroom was most of the time available. So not a big problem.

    Cute little hostel with very kind staff. Thank you for creating a very familiar and friendly atmosfaire: I felt like home. Thank you also for the good breakfast. :-)

    The hostel was not very clean and kind of outdated. No sink in the bathroom upstairs. The rooftop had a lot of stuff lying around which made it kind of uncomfortable.

    The hostel had very nice staff and a nice vegan breakfast. The rooms were quiet and the beds ok. Location was very central.
