    The rooms are really hot with no airflow or aircon. The rooms are mouldy as well which make it a bit stinky.

    Good location & cheap.

    The bed was like a brick and the pillow was huge. We did stay in the dorm though

    Perfect location. Good breakfast. Clean facilities.

    unfortunately printer was broken They helped me so there's a library shop 5 minutes walk to print your flightpapers. Doors closes at night at 2.00 pm. Difficult to find but with local youngsters they bring you till there (don't forget to pay some dirham for the service !)

    The breakfast was ok and start at 8h45. Very very very friendly staff. I asked to change money 50 euro into 30 euro en 200 dirham without any problem.

    The room is very dated. Everything is still usable but is hanging off the wall.It just needs maintenance the room looked like it has been badly painted. There is no way to put your clothes in the room.

    The location was good staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was okay. Rooftop terrorist can see all around and onto the harbour beautiful view.

    No luggage storage in the room. No soap in the toilet. No cheese or eggs or any protein in the breakfast.

    In the middle of medina. Continental breakfast on terrace. Delicious pastry and hot tea. Ladies serving breakfast and reception guy were helpful. Bathroom and toilet in the room. Electric socket and reading light by the bed. Cheap.

    The room is a little bit dark and one socket for charge phone only. Toilet got smelly and hot water for shower is 10 mins only.

    Good breakfast in the morning. The top level can face to the excellent view of Tangier.

    The bed was a little creaky (older mattress). And there was a bit of a smell from the bathroom pipes and it was quite damp. However this seems to be the case in most older buildings we've stayed in. It didn't bother us too much, just better to keep the bathroom door closed.

    Great location right inside one of the entrances to the medina. Clean room, free simple breakfast which was a nice addition. Staff were very friendly.

    Floor could do with a little clean. Bath mat would be good as shower section floods into sink area.

    Man at front desk very friendly and helpful. Wi-Fi was good. Towels provided. Great location (bit of fun to find but so it everywhere!). Nice breakfast.

    Because at this time of the year, the rooms were a bit chilly.

    The staff is always friendly and helpful to the extent that I borrowed a few hundred dirhams in an emergency case. The breakfast ladies are wholeheartedly nice and kind.

    Breakfast was minimal. Room had a musty/mothbally odour. Mattress was fairly hard, helped by an extra blanket put under the bottom sheet. No lighting on stairs.

    Location was good and quiet even tho in the Medina. Cheap and cheerful, basic as expected it's a hostel after all. Very friendly and helpful staff. There was a terrace but basically used by smokers as few seats.

    It’s a bit hard onto find, and the google maps entry on the Booking.com page is incorrect, though that’s not the hostel’s fault: go to Café Centrale in Souk Dakhel; it’s very close Due to a fire, they don’t allow guests to use the kitchen; I’d ask for future travellers that they buy an electric kettle to allow people to make their own tea!

    It’s a lovely old riad in the heart of the medina. The staff were great, especially Rashid, and the WiFi was strong in all areas. The dorms were comfortable, and the ladies who make the breakfast were lovely I really liked this place ☺️

    The rooms and the beds are quite old. It could be cleaner, too. For a night, it's ok to stay though

    The location is amazing. It takes only a few minutes to cafes and restaurants, and also to the beach promenade. Staff was friendly and helpful
