We spent 2 nights there, and everything was great. Is just 5 minutes walkinf to the Fna plaza. In summer or winter could be complicated cause doesnt have climatization. Nice patio, nice breakfast, really nice staff.

Good Location in old town near Jemaa El Fna square. Dificult to find it the day you arrive. Breakfast included but no facilities on having it before fixed time

This hostel was phenomenal! It was exactly what I was looking for-- peaceful and quiet but close to everything; inexpensive, but clean, understated, and beautifully decorated. The lovely courtyard smells like the orange and lemon trees planted there, and the rooftop terrace has great views. The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly, without being at all pushy. I stayed for three nights in a private room and could not have been happier.

We went in January, it was warm enough during the day but quite cold in the evenings & the rooms don't have heating. Apart from that, the hostel is considerably clean (would recommend to book an ensuite nonetheless), only 3mins walk from the main square, the staff is very friendly, but don't speak English - so make sure to brush up on your French! One negative point:we asked for a guide for the souks & although we gave 2 days notice, they didn't manage to organise one. Overall - recommendable!

I thought the place was really nice, it was cheap and in a great location. The large dorm room was great, no bunk beds. The only downsides were the place lacked a bit of atmosphere if you were looking to meet fellow travelers, and the place wasn't managed that well, it needed a manager to be there full time.

The location is really good, but the hostel in itself is not that good. The big private bedroom was good, but the bathroom was really bad... dirty and in bad conditions. And is really need someone to fulltime administrate. The employees that were there during the day just speak arab and we were always in the need of something or telephoning the owner... it didn't needed to be like that.
