About

Palm Hostel is a converted traditional riad—basically a house where families once lived together, each with their own room but sharing everything else. The bathrooms, showers, kitchen, and courtyard are all shared, and that same feeling is still here. It’s simple, a bit rough around the edges, but real in a way that’s easy to settle into—like a small oasis you come back to after the day.

We’re in a residential neighborhood, away from the busy center, so things feel calmer here. It’s a quiet, social kind of place—people hanging out, talking, cooking, and slowly finding their rhythm. Most guests are coming from outside Morocco and are still new to it, so everyone kind of figures things out together, at their own pace.

Right outside, you’ll find the kind of places locals actually use—small restaurants, a little night market in the evenings, and fruit and vegetable stalls near the neighborhood mosque. It’s everyday Marrakech, not something set up for visitors. And when you feel like exploring more, it’s about a 20-minute walk to the entrance of the souks, where you can begin to explore deeper into the central medina.

It’s not fancy, and it’s not meant to be. But if you’re looking for something honest, relaxed, and a bit like home—a calm place to land in the middle of it all—it usually just works.

Pros: Very helpful arranging taxi from the airport and checking that I arrived safely. Staff friendly when around. Felt safe. Quiet, residential neighbourhood. Cons: Old city and Medina around a 30 minute walk away. A lot in the heat! We booked the twin room with shared bathroom and the room is very small (c. 9sq m) but more importantly the beds are both very hard and completely worn into a curved shape. No air conditioning in room except a fan. No soap at sink. No convivial hostel “vibe”.

The good: Cheap, doable for a night or two if you want to save money. Not busy so its chill. The bad: No customer service when arrived, had to wait for whatsapp replies, didnt seem professional at all, had to find sheets for my bed. Power kept cutting off and someone unpluged the AC in the room to save power i think. Very weird vibes from one of the staff (the only one that actually was there).
