Hostel Nari Nari was the best decision I have ever made. The accommodations were absolutely charming, super clean, and a total paradise from the chaos of Marrakech. All that was fine, but Mohammed, the manager, really made our stay memorable. He is one of the greatest people on this planet. From teaching us Arabic to showing us how to make tajine, he was the highlight of our entire trip. Leila Couscous and Fatima Tajine miss you dearly, Mohammed. We'll see you soon, habibi!

Based on the ratings, I was expecting a lot more. It is definitely doesn't deserve the rating it has.We couldn't find the hostel & had to pay for a guide.When we arrived, the staff just watched as the guide took 50dhms from my hand.The neighbor with 4 security cameras verbally abused us for touching his pot plant.There were none of the social activities described.Staff didn't say a word to us.Sheets were dirty.

Dear Fraser, We are not going to pick up on everything here - firstly though - we apologise on behalf of this neighbour - that is not OK, though he does not work with us or have anything to do with the hostel. The thing which we find most bewildering is your accusation that staff did not speak to you throughout the duration of your stay. This is simply untrue. We spent time with you upon arrival as we do with every guest and you booked an activity through us which required communication and information - you even returned to us after the activity where we had tea and a chat. We, as a staff, do not like to impose ourselves upon our guests - we are friendly and unobtrusive - it is a shame that you mistook this as 'not saying a word'. All activities are described to all our guests upon arrival and you are more than welcome to request them at any time. Hope that clarifies things for our future guests and best wishes for future travels!

We had an alright stay here for three nights. On the first night we were placed in a room downstairs next to the common area which was quite loud during breakfast and absolutely stank from the bathroom - like a damp sewerage smell, I found it hard to be in, however we were moved upstairs the next two nights which was quite pleasant. Breakfast was great, close to all attractions and the night markets. It was good value for money.

I would recommend renovating the bathrooms a bit, and installing better and more secure lockers for valuables. There are two mattresses in the bunk bed room on the second floor that are terrible and need to be replaced! They're like rocks.

For the most part, my boyfriend and I enjoyed our stay at Nari-Nari. It has a good location and the staff is very helpful and welcoming. However, some nights it was very noisy and the music was too loud. Other than that, I would recommend this hostel to anyone.

This is a really great hostel. For the price, it is quite excellent. The staff members are really friendly and helped us out a lot. The breakfast is great. Only down sides are it is hard to find (plot it on a map in advance to avoid confusion) and the bathroom shower didn't get too warm at times. But again, I definitely recommend it!

The hostel is near to attractions, the parking is safe and nearby, Mohamed arranged the parking space and everything else. They are doing their best. Good value, would recommend if you like it simple.

Nari-Nari is a nice, family-run hostel. There are plenty of beautiful and luxurious Riads in town - this isn't one of those. The facilities are pretty basic, but clean, comfortable, and affordable. Most importantly, the staff is extremely nice, helpful, and honest - everything they recommended or organized for me was a fair price, and delivered as-advertised. If you've ever been to Marrakech you'll know what a big deal that is. Nice spot. I'll probably be back.

We stayed at Nari-Nari three times in 16 days in Marokko in Feb/Mar 13. We booked 5 nights in a room with own toilette and shower an 1 night (spontainiously) on extra prepared couches in the livingroom. The owners are young, nice and helpful. Wifi and using of PC is free. Rooms are not that big, but I guess this is actually normal in big cities such as Marrakech. Breakfast is included, delicious and enough to have a good start in the morning. Would come back every time @ our Marokko-Home!

The hostel Nari-Nari is a quite oasis in this town! Mint tea at the welcome is a nice touch! We stayed in a double-bed room at the first floor and it was clean, spacious and comfortable! The places recommended by the owner are awesome! The breakfast is great too! Just remember to make your payment for the hostel in euro ,don't exchange all your money. We have enjoyed that great place! If I ever be back I'll visit Nari-Nari again! Thanks.

The best HOSTEL we had in Marrakech. The staff is super helpful and will serve you great breakfast which is included in the reasonable price . We were always happy to come back and use it as our travel hub. The hostel is placed in a quiet side road 10 minutes away from the central place. Enjoy :)

Mohammed and his team helped us very good. But sometimes it was a bit too pushy with their offers from the hostel (excursions). But the breakfast was really good and when we had a question, they answered us immediatly. Our room didn't have a lock (the room on the roof) but nothing was stolen and we had a security case. We didn't like it that much that there was a cat running around in the hostel when we were eating... But we had a very good stay in the Nari-Nari Hostel!

Friendly staff. Lockers small. Great roof area. Cute turtles. Difficult to find. You do Not want to be a female traveller by yourself trolling the streets looking for accommodation, terrible experience. Just get the expensive taxi. Worth every cent for the first time. It was strange that they repainted all the chairs and tables black and didn't tell anyone, my clothes got black paint on them.
