Great hostel in Fes Medina, great staff, friendly, clean, and good location. Book tours with them for desert, get as much information as you can. They are very friendly and helpful, I had a question really late one night and they answered my texts in less then a minute to clear up the miscommunication on my end. Amazing hostel
