No access to kitchen, but very good laundery service is there. plenty of relatively cheap restaurants and food stalls around anyway. All the other criterias are fulfilled, and are excelent. Perfect location, right in the souk, but very close to the Jemna Fna place, so not difficult to find.

Nice place very close from Djama el Fna. The staff is friendly and the rooms are nice and confortable. They even have heater, quite convenient in winter, cos it's quite cold during the night in Marrakech.

My stay at this hostel was perfect. The staff is amazing, friendly and always available to help. I loved them tea. My boyfriend forgot his watch in the room and they were super attentive to help us on the shipping, I really appreciated the honesty and willingness to help me. I will miss everyone, I hope I get back to Marrakech and staying again at this wonderful place.

Noise after 11pm needs to be kept to a minimum. No loud music/noise from downstairs.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. They don't have a locker in the room, but we didn't had any problem. The room were clean and for using the internet you can use the Computer from the reception... So you don't need the wifi (the wifi did'nt work by our stay ) But in fact of the staff, good placement(central) and cleaness i would stay another week in casa del sol.

We were very well treated by the kind staff and would very much like to return to Casa Del Sol. Thank´s a lot! The only thing that bothered us, as being over 60 years old, was the bad isolation and the late noise in the Riad by guests younger than us. But - we although liked the place a lot!

This place is in the heart of the old city, really close to the main square. Easy to find once you locate the right corner of the square to turn into. Rooms have heaters, are comfy and clean, but there wasn't much in the way of atmosphere. It always depends on who's staying there though, so if you're lucky you'll maybe have a good laugh. There's only one toilet, but I was out most of the time so it didn't bother me. The staff were friendly, but really wanted me to go to the desert with them..

Casa del Sol is definitely the best hostel I've been in in Morocco. It is clean, palatially decorated, in an excellent location 2 min from Jama'a Al-Fna square, the atmosphere is great and you can meet fascinating people, and more than everything- the stuff is so kind and helpful as rarely seen in Hostels. So thank you all, Fatima, Rabia, Alham and especially Mustapha, who helped me various ways out of sheer generosity when I needed it the most.

Thank you so much for making my stay in Marakesh so wonderful. I had a charming room and appreciated the quiet serenity tucked in down a quiet alley in the heart of the souqs. The staff (Lachen, Moustafan, Rabiala and Fatema) were so friendly and helpful and made me feel right at home. I learned to cook tajine and couscous and Fatema taught me a few Berber dance moves. I highly recommend this hostel for genuine Morocco hospitality.

Rabia, Fatima, Lacsim et Mustaffa créent une bonne ambiance et sont très attentifs aux besoin des clients. Marrakesh est une ville chaotique à mille impressions différentes, donc à ne pas juger. Ce qui dérange un peu est l' odeur du tabac dans un Riad sans fenêtres donnant à l' extérieur pour aérer.

Great location close to the main square, excellent value for the price (especially the ensuite single room), and the staff is great- they are always happy to help!! I liked the view from the roof as well, the beds were comfortable, and the shower was hot. What more do you need?

I got way more than I expected with this hostel. The staff were informative, flexible, and beyond friendly. They were happy to help plan trips outside of the city and to direct you to less touristy spots around the city. I was happy to return to the hostel after a few days in the desert. It became my home away from home. Unique architecture, clean, safe, and great people. Oh, and great breakfast for a small price. Fig jam!

Absolutely amazing hostel, would recommend it to anybody. I used the private room with ensuite while I was there. I was slightly worried because other reviews complained that the bathroom smelled - it was not bad at all though, and more than addressed by the door between the bedroom and bathroom. The staff are absolutely amazing. The place would definitely be hard to find the first time, and I was glad that I used the hostel's airport pickup service. All in all, a great experience!
