Way overpriced. Stayed in places the same for a third the cost. Scungy smell from the bathroom and a little noisy from the square. Breakfast was good though!

Not a bad place as it goes in Casa. It´s a short walk to the mosque, which is really the thing to see anyway. Being outside at night is uncomfortable because of all the men who hang about but you´ll find that a lot of places in Morocco. We had a private room so security was fine.

Considering the country and the society this hostel complies with expectatives. Relatively good at competitive prices.

The people at the hotel gave our room away to some other clients so we did not have a room at 23.20 hr in Casablanca... very annoying !!! The payement for the reservation did not help a bit in this situation ! So not a happy customer here !

Very nice hostel. Welcome break away from Moroccon life outside. The smell of the harbour did not reach inside and the staff spoke English and knew a lot about the city. Very hotel-like!

We enjoyed the common area (free mint tea!) and rooftop views of the Hassan mosque. Rooms were more like a hotel with private bathroom. Lots of men hang out directly outside the hostel, which may make women travellers uncomfortable, though we had no problems. It was easier to find than we first thought - right inside the medina walls and close to the Youth Hostel listed in our Lonely Planet guide.close

The staff was helpful and I didn't have the feeling the neighbourhood was unsafe. The room was spacious and the breakfast really good. Compared to other places we've stayed during our trip in Morocco it was -relatively- quite expensive. Over all; good place to stay!close

They had no idea about our booking and by luck they had one spare bedroom. It was at the back of the hotel, facing a wall, hadnt been cleaned etc. Was so disappointed but the next day they were really kind and changed rooms and did everything to sort it all out.

A bit run-down, more than a bit dirty and in a not particularly interesting neighborhood. It might just be Casablanca itself, but I wasn't all that taken with the place. Best part of the stay was the goofy guy at the front desk and the tea at breakfast.

Just inside the medina and centre of town, it has the character, but it's easy to find and you won't get lost. It's safe and has character. By Moroccan standards it's clean and the shower was great for Morocco (better than the riad we stayed in in Marrakech at 2x the price!). The best bit however is the staff. Moroccans are genuinely friendly people and this guy lent us 500dh no questions asked, pay back when we want. Hclose

This is a great cheap place to stay on your way through (out of) Casablanca. The hotel is great for what you pay for and the guy on the desk is a laugh. But in short skip Casablanca as its horrible and stay an extra night somewhere else.

Our stay was fine but a word of warning if you manage to get a room which overlooks the square, you will not be able to sleep unless you have some decent ear plugs due to what can only be described as the nightly 'yelling competition' between all of the men that congregate there. Usually lasts...
