Reviews of The Riad Hostel Tangier

Location, helpful staff and decent breakfast

Noisy room that got quite hot. Loud people outside. Rooster noises. 1 bathroom for 8 people in the same room. No keys or anything was odd. Lockers couldn’t fit a basic backpack. No soap in bathrooms.

Property is located in the center medina. Accessible. Kitchen is okay but not soo clean. Stay is okay value for money.

I ask one of the guys for cooking oil they didn’t get me any. He said yes but at the end i had to get my own

Nothing to be liked

Absolutely horrendous experience. The place was filthy—disgusting floors, grime everywhere, and the mattresses? Completely wrecked. Every single one was curved, busted, and felt like sleeping on a pile of broken springs. I woke up in agony with severe back pain. The host was a nightmare. We booked a 4-bed room, and because of their incompetence and overbooking, we were forced into an overcrowded 8-bed room. We made it clear that their screw-up wasn’t our problem, but they didn’t care. And to top it off, when we came back at night, our belongings were gone. No apology, no explanation—just a cold “move to the 8-bed room.” Unbelievable. No toilet paper. No soap. No basic hygiene. No comfort whatsoever. And if you value sleep? Forget it. The place turns into a chaotic circus until 5 A.M. every single night. Zero respect for quiet hours. Overall: a complete disaster. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone with a shred of self-respect. Avoid it like the plague.

Breakfast was okay.

A lot of noise around. Got charged more than what it cost due to they didnt have change.

Rooftop Terrace, Internet, Funny Owner, decent breakfast Okayish value for money, you get what you've paid for.

Accomodation: Rooms were super hot, no airflow, no window. Showers were fairly dirty & it was hard to get some sleep. Mattresses definitely had experienced some rough years.

It was the best way to start my adventure in Morocco! Thank you, specially to the staff. You guys made it so much easier <3

Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else if you can. I had booked a private room for two via a friend's account and then one night alone in a dorm. When we arrived, the private room on the ground floor smelled like a damp, moldy basement, absolutely disgusting. We didn't want to stay more than five minutes there, let alone a full night. The room had no window to the outside, only one that opened to the reception area, so it felt weird keeping it open. We asked for a different room and got two beds in a dorm. The room and bathroom were disgustingly dirty, like grime had been accumulating for years. I often stay at hostels and would say that I'm not very sensitive when it comes to shared spaces but I really didn't want to touch anything there. The beds were so old and used the mattresses had a V shape (see photo). We left asap and moved to a different place. Only kinda nice thing is the rooftop which has a pretty view over the medina but is very dirty like the whole place.

I absolutely loved my stay at The Riad Hostel Tangier! Everything about this place exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the space is clean and beautifully decorated, and the location is perfect for exploring Tangier. A special thank you to Mr. Khalid, who made the experience unforgettable with his kindness, helpfulness, and genuine hospitality. He truly made me feel at home. I can’t recommend this place enough – whether you’re passing through or staying a while, this hostel is a gem. I will definitely come back the next time I’m in Tangier!

Everything was perfect

The location is good. The hostel is a lovely Riad.

The staff were iffy about payment when I arrived and refused to give me a receipt. The receptionist offered me drugs, told me he was going to take me out on a "guided tour" despite me saying no at least 4 times, demanded a cigarette and was generally creepy. He seemed to spend most of the time getting stoned with the other staff and clients. Several females staying complained of being sexually harassed by the staff, with one girl telling me one of them had tried to fondle her breasts. Breakfast was supposed to be from 7-11, but didn't appear until 10am. The hostel was not cleaned very well. Men regularly entered the female only dorm and one refused to leave.

Nice location in the Medina. Friendly and international hostel vibe. Great rooftop.Friendly and enthusiastic staff.

Broken taps in the shower. Ruined bathroom floor. Rooms with miserable windows facing inside patio. No space to keep Noisy. Poor breakfasts. No fresh bread.

Had an amazing stay. Super relaxed vibe, the kindest people, and once you enter the rooftop, it's very easy to blend in with the hostel's overall daily rhythm, from the nice breakfast in the morning till the late nights.

Fantastic and friendly staff!

The welcome of Moroccan, I met the guys in the same dorm, and they were so nice, we had dinner and went to the Mos, talking about Muslim and Morocco.

The bathroom is so dirty.

The Riad Hostel was located in the perfect location of Tangier to explore the beach and the medina with ease. I would highly recommend this hostel because of the laid back nature and the kind and genuine people that I met. I stayed for four nights and was very happy. Khalid was a wonderful soul and always willing to help. If you come to Tangier - don’t pass up the opportunity to stay here!

Location and friendly staff. Khalid was specially helpful and always willing to help. Didn’t know they provide breakfast. It was basic, good value for the price you already paid for the room.
