Dar El Yasmine Reviews

The hostel is really central in the medina which means you are plunged straight into the hustle and bustle. The main house is full of character. The room wasn't too cosy but had a private bathroom. It was quite noisy as it was straight off the reception area so maybe ask for a room upstairs. The manager was friendly and gave us plenty of advice of finding our way round/the bus station. Breakfast was included and delicious.

We did not actually stay in Dar El Yasmine, but in their other place. The staff were nice, although the pickup from the bus station they had promised never happened. The place itself was okay, the location handy. However, the rooms were really dirty. The toilet had not been cleaned, the sheets were not clean, the blankets and pillows really smelly. This was definitely the dirtiest place we stayed in in Morrocco.

Firstly, this place is very difficult to find. On arrival i would recommend to look at the room first, ours smelt like cat urine and there was only a very small window so the smell stayed. The room itself was basic but the shower was basically a hole in the ground and flooded the entire bathroom. Luckily we only stayed the one night, but when checking out the doorman tried to charge us double even though we showed him our booking confirmation. The whole experience was a bad start to Morocco.

Mohammed and his staff were always so friendly and ready to offer up advice and/or help. We left at 6am and Mohammed woke early enough to prepare a breakfast for us to take on our train journey. I thought this was exceptional as their breakfast doesn't start until 8.30am.

We had a really pleasant three night stay here, the staff are very friendly and the breakfasts were amazing. On the first night we were moved to a "friends" hotel as they said they had taken in extra bookings but luckily the new place was even nicer. We were back to the hostel the next night. The room was ok. Shower spilt over on the floor quite badly and the bed was oddly lumpy, but we slept alright. Right in the centre of the old medina and pretty good value for money.

Probably best Hostel in town! Therefore quite expensive, but you get what you pay for. Nice ambient, perfect location, nice stuff and best breakfast of the whole journey! Ask for a guided tour with Ismail!

Absolutely amazing. Simply the best hospitality I have seen in any hostel/hotel/etc. in a years worth of traveling. The staff are excellent, the communal dinners at the hostel are a lot of fun (especially if you can join in the cooking). We only paid for one night and they let us stay until 2am the next as we were waiting for night train that left at 2:30am. I would recommend Dar El Yasmine to anyone, and I know that I will be staying there if I am ever in Fez again.

Frankly, this was the best hostel we stayed at during our trip. Staff are just fantastic. They help whenever they can, provide advise and don't seem to get tired answering the questions. Also, they serve a delicious brekafast which is more of a brunch. Only - but really only- downside is thatz rooms on the ground floor might be a bit noisy as the common space is also there. Though, staff are aware and do their best to keep the noice level down.

I had a pleasant stay at Dar El Yasmine. What made it special was Mohamed's (host) outstanding customer service. He was very helpful in assisting me as a tourist (e.g. where to book bus ticket, finding someone to show me the tanneries, where to go for hammam, etc.). Above all, I had mentioned about possible early breakfast as I was leaving early the next morning, and he remembered this and actually dropped off a bag of food for me to take. His genuine hospitality really felt heart-warming!

We had an extremely pleasant stay here. They were very welcoming and treated us well. Although our stay in the city was quite short, they helped us get the best out of the short time. The location is a bit hard to find, but it wasn't a big problem for us. I would recommend this place to a friend:)

Incredible place ! The owners are so welcoming the will help you with everything and the place is central to everything and really nice!

Good staff and location. Had Mint Tea readily available throughout the stay, not just one cup at arrival. The staff was eccentric, and entertaining. We got a tour through the hostel and for 150 Dirhams total for 4 people (equivalent to $18) Mohammed took us around the old medina for about a 6 hour tour. He lived in America for a few years so he spoke english and was so good that we payed him double for his time. A great experience

Good location, nice staff, quiet at night, stayed for 3 nights, everything is just good.

We were brought to Dar el Yasmine's other hostel location, which had another name. The owner of this other hostel was very unprofessional and lacked cultural sensitivity. Do not engage in conversations regarding religion, politics or culture with this owner, as much as he will try to convince you that he likes to talk about such topics. A comment about tipping in the Medina resulted in being sworn at and threatened. We were really uncomfortable around him the whole time. The rooms were nice

One of the best hostels I've stayed in so far. Very friendly and welcoming staff that were always ready to have a tea break with you or share stories. While staying here we participated in a desert trip (which ws absolutely worth it) organized by one of the hostel's staff members. Right in the middle of the Medina, it was a little bit hidden, however we were always offered help. I can recommend this hostel to everyone who is looking out for a nice, quiet but intimate place to stay in Fes.

A clean, charming and very homely hostel. Run by Muhammad and Aziz who are funny and friendly and go above and beyond to make your stay in Fez as enjoyable as possible. These two really made our stay fantastic!

Had a lovely stay here with a few girlfriends. The managers are very kind and go out of their way to make guests feel welcome. We had a very late train out of Fes the night after we checked out, and they let us leave our bags for the day and even hang around in the lobby, use the facilities, etc. until it was time to go to the station. Another bonus is plenty of hot water -- not always the case elsewhere!

great location, wonderful staff. Incredibly helpful with directions, even walking us to places we needed to go. The place was adorable, wonderful breakfast. All around fantastic stay!!

We had an excellent stay! The breakfast was perfect of course, and the two owers were quite chill. I suggest following Mohammad's advice and going straight to the desert from Fez, it is a fabulous time!!

Having stayed in 3 other hostels in Morocco, El Yasmine was a pleasant surprise! Extremely friendly and also helpful(!) manager (Mohammed) arranged pickup and airport drop-off. Twin room and ensuite bathroom clean and spacious. Location: In the heart of the Medina of Fez. Breakfast was included, highly recommend this place, nothing to complain about...
