90%Equity Point Marrakech, Riad...

A great hostel with plenty of space and character. The only annoyance is the eratic and unpredictableness of the bar opening hours. Other than that no problems here.

Equity Point is a great hostel. The decor is really authentic and the roof terrace is really cool. The staff speak English and are helpful as well. The moroccan donuts at breakfast were really yummy! Location is great as it is right near the medina and the night bazaar. Free internet is fast....

I visited with 9 mates for a 30th birthday. Fantastic Hostel, lots of character and beautiful building. The only negative I can say is would be better with air conditioning rather than fans and be great if the roof top bar was open past 11pm. But in summary excelent hostel.

Very nice hostel. Everybody was very friendly and it was a quiet, pleasant escape from the crazyness of Marrakesh itself.

Supposedly there were bedbugs in one bed while I was there, I cant comment on this as I never saw them. I enjoyed my stay, take the camel tour- but negotiate the price and find out everything that is included- ie 2 meals only. Lots of fun though. It is a bit of a sketchy location though and... more Supposedly there were bedbugs in one bed while I was there, I cant comment on this as I never saw them.

It is a bit of a sketchy location though and difficult to get to. Just find a kid and pay him to take you there once you get into the market a little bit.close

It's hard to find, but well worth it when you do. A little oasis in the middle of the crowded medina. Easy to meet people, and a nice rooftop terrace to view the city.

I absolutely loved the place. The only drawback was that the lockers were too small for my whole bag.

There were bed bugs in all of the beds and we got bitten badly. It was most unpleasant. Otherwise, everything else was great!

Absolutely stunning hostel. Staff are friendly and try to be helpful but fail so come prepared with guide book. The desert tour is a must - sleeping under a blanket of stars in the Sahara, camel ride, waking up to an amazing sunrise. One of the highlights of my travels. There are bugs everywhere...

The tour to Ourika valley was great but we were misinformed about it. The staff should have made it clear what exactly is included in the excursion package.

Probably the best hostel I've ever stayed in. It doesn't even feel like one, more like a mini bed and breakfast. Definitely would go back there.

Hostels don't come as nice as this place. It's a traditional Moroccan 'riad' which means it's a building built around an open courtyard. My room was the double ensuite which is out of this world.

Minor issue but my sheets had bed bugs. I was bitten over 100 times over one night. I was the only one out of my four friends to have this issue, and this was one night. Otherwise, the inside of this place is gorgeous and a true moroccan experience.

I've been traveling for 5 months now and this is by far the nicest 'hostel' I have stayed in. It may be a bit on the pricey side as far as hostels go, but the rooms are beautiful and clean, the breakfast is wonderful, and the location is great. I'd definitely stay longer if I could!

Great hostel, felt like I was staying at the Alhambra. Only downfull is that is is located at the end of a twisty 'path' that is a little intimidating at night. Book the 8 person room, it is literally 4x the size of the 6 person room and has a lot more character.

Things can get a little loud but it shouldn't bother you after being exhausted from exploring the city. The only thing that i found annoying was the plumbing. Water does not drain when showering, creating a puddle outside of the shower area. By the time everyone showerd, the water was dripping into the room. Other than that, the place was great!close

we loved this hostel. the only downside was the lack of locks on the doors, so we had to carry our passports with us all the time, which freaked us out. definitely stay here. great breakfast, good staff, great location.
