Dont recommend: bathroom flooded, hard mattress, rude staff

Owner Comment (Show)
Dear Arthur, It is a shame that you felt the need to write such a review. We feel that as a staff, we are very courteous with our guests. However, at the same time, we are not doormats and do not accept or tolerate anti-social behaviour from any of our guests. When you came in at 4am (with one of our staff opening the front door for you) and proceeded to make a lot of noise, waking up our other guests who are entitled to sleep in peace, we asked you to keep the noise down. You didn't. If you mistook this as staff being rude, then it certainly was misinterpreted, as the truth is, that we had to ask you several times to be respectful of other guests and our hostel which we are very protective of. That we had staff from Marrakech Rouge come to help us with calming you down is testament to both your noise level, and the dedication of the staff. When you want to share a space with others it is important that you are considerate of the feelings and experiences of those you are sharing with.

Really a great hostel! I'm still wondering how it was possible to get that level of service by the staff, that cleanliness, the great atmosphere, on that location in the city, for that little amount of money! I had to travel further because of my tight travel schedule, but if I had more time, I would've certainly spent a couple of extra days at Nari Nari!

I came back again for a good reasons. Helpful and friendly staff. Good guides, and they made sure I can relax and really put my feet up. For this price you will get experience, friends, and value.

The beds where not comfortable at all. The security in the room was only a lock that we had to put. We were 6 in a room, we closed it for us, but if you are not going to do this, I don't know how to protect your personal belongings. To reach the hostel, we contacted them and they came to look for us at the Plaza. Very good attention. Also, ask for more blankets, we went in January and it was very cold at night

Very good. The only drawback i can think of is that we could not close our room from inside, only from outside. Also, while the directions are very precise and good, it can be a bit tricky to find the actual place as there is no marking on the door. Make sure you know the exact address of the place.

Mohamed and the team were great, stoked to help with anything, their local knowledge comes in really handy. Ideal hostel, good location in the Medina not far from the main square.

Thank you for a wonderful stay in Marrakesh- and ever bigger thank you for one of the most memorable New Years-Parties of my life!! Made us all feel like very special guests. The dinner buffet was stunning- everything tasted just wonderful and the "music boygroups" made us all dance inbetween- the time until midnight never passed so quickly!! Thank you very much for wonderful memories- I am sure you will take care of everyone no matter what time of the year...

Didn't get off to a good start when the promised taxi didn't appear at the airport. Once we finally arrived at NariNari we were greeted with the usual mint tea and told we were moving to another branch of the hostel, Layla Rouge. Walking through Djem El Fna with our barrowman we weren't quite sure if things were OK, but on arriving at the alternate hostel we were greeted well and shown to our rooms in the annexe round the corner. Everything went well after the poor start and breakfast was great.

Best Staff ever! They are always there for everything you might need during your stay. As we were there for christmas they even cooked us the most delicious christmas dinner. As we stayed there for a full week, we missed a shelf in our room. But as far as I know our room was an exception.

The guys running the place were great and helpful. Our room was cold and a sink didn't really work, but the hostel was a nice place to stay. It's less than 10 minutes walking distance from the main square and has a great rooftop.

We had a great stay at Hostel Nari Nari. The staff, in particular Mohammed, looked after us very well and ensured that we were comfortable at all times. One of the best hostels i've stayed in. Would highly recommend this hostel to anyone wanting to relax, meet great people and experience the true Marrakech.

Mohammed and his team were extremely helpful with booking tours and finding my way around the city. They even helped me book airport taxis which made things very convenient for me. I had a wonderful time and would definitely return for another stay!

A riad hostel and is a very nice place on the southern side of Jemaa El Fna that has staff who are willing to do anything possible to make your stay at their place as pleasant as possible. Mohammed, for example, was prepared to go all out to accommodate myself and my friends every simple request. The weekend we were there had the heaviest rain for several years and so nights in the rooms were cold - no heaters. Other than that, we all had a very lovely time at Nari-Nari, highly recommended!
