    In general the service was very satisfying apart from the fact that we were paying for an ensuite room which had a shower without any hot water. Although we were promised that the shower would be fixed in the middle of our vacation and for the second half we left the hostel and still the water at... more

    I arrived very late around midnight, but the hostel provided me an official porter and driver pickup from the airport for 10 euros without any forced tip! its probably the only hostel in proper maison d'hote

    Do yourself a favour and fork out a bit more for somwhere more central. you'll regret it if you don't.

    You pay for what you get really. Very cheap hostel in a good location with friendly staff but the rooms themselves leave something to be desired. Very different from the photos but for its plus points you can't really argue with it.

    A fantastic place right in the medina. Gives the best view on the culture in marrakesh. The friendlyness and the help you get is heartwarming. Service 24 h a day from HOSN.

    El lugar es muy bonito, lástima que no lo cuiden como deberían. Es un poco difícil de encontrar al principio, pero está cerca de la plaza principal, y en un sitio donde no se ven muchos turistas, lo cual le da autenticidad. Breakfast was good enough.

    The bathroom was essentially a toilet with a showerhead poking out above it. We refered to it as the shoilet. There was a nice roof terrace where I met the grandson of the Riad's owner. He was a nice guy, although he did try and convert me to Islam.
