Everything was great! Location is very central so you’re close to chaotic market but once you enter hostel, it’s peaceful and quiet. The room is very cozy, the owners put a lot of attention to details and design. The common areas and the rooftop are awesome. The staff was very welcoming, special thanks to Marouane for his kindness, always smiling and helping with any question.

The setup, relaxed atmosphere, and access to the kitchen. The views of the ocean were superb. You look down at the surf, licking the seemingly endless beach below. I hope to come back soon.

The hostel we brilliant, small and cozy so that you can socialize, everything was clean and comfortable. The views on the terrace was amazing and such a lovely place to hang out in the eveninging. Emad has to be the coolest owner of a hostel I've ever met, excellent recommendations for everything and so so helpful- even helped me learn to play chequers! Good vibes and good fun. I am sure you will like it here.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    The staff were amazing, and so was the vibe. Great location inside the medina. It's not perfect, but it's definitely worth it and more for the cheap price we paid!!! I would stay here again if I travel on a budget.

    Great location in medina. The prettiest hostel I've seen interior-vise. 2 lovely cats living in the riad. Homely atmosphere, great for meeting people and hang out! Quiet in the night.

    All the staff is very friendly, the rooftop terrace is perfect for chilling, socializing and seeing the sunset, and the food served there at the bar is tasty. Even though it's a cheap hostel it keeps the minimum standards and since each floor can only be accessed by the people staying on it (they have security codes to enter the floor and room) the cleanness level doesn't get affected so much during the day. A very good budget friendly stay.
