“ Really good riad, but hard to find. Take a taxi to Bab Laksour and go down until you find derb essnar which is an arc on your left hand side. Once there you follow the winding path, and whenever you have a fork in the road, you look at the lamp posts and follow the direction they are pointing. ”

“ Really great place to stay - one of the most welcoming hostels (if you can call it that, it feels more like a guest house) I've been in.

“ Brilliant hostel with lots of character, the staff are brilliant and very helpful. Great location but near impossible to find without paying someone to take you (we paid 10 dirham, about 1 euro). The only bad point is that the hot water is a bit tempramental. Very highly recommended. ”

“ Really cool place - the guy who owns it is really helpful and friendly, and he speaks 6 languages..! The Riad is very pretty and I love the rooftop terrace. A little hard to find - we paid a guy 20 dirhams to help us find it the first time. It's really close to the big Square and the Souks.... ”

“ I liked the inside of the hostel. The Riad set-up is great. Personally, I did not have hot water for any shower while I was there. I know other ppl that did. The location was really cool, but I highly doubt you will find it the first time. ”

“ Excellent place to stay: not only because of the charm of the place but also for the tips to discover Marrakech and the hospitality of Kamal, your host. Once in the medina, don't even try to find it the first time by yourselves: hire a "city guide" (who should help you for 2-3 EUR).... more ”

“ The hostel itself is very nice, with a real Morrocan Riad feel to it. However, finding the place is near impossible without the help of the hostel staff.
