Pros:

Jó ár érték arány, jó elhelyezkedés, lenyűgözően szép belső közös tér, nagyon jó terasz. Ajánlom ezt a szállást.

Cons:

Leszerelték a tévét a közos térben, az egyik wc fülkébe volt egy kis felylesztés a tavalyi évhez képest mert az egyik vécébe beraktak még egy wc csészét az eredeti mellé de úgy hogy csak úgy lehet rá ülni hogyha lehajtja az ember a felyét.
Az egyik barátomnak nem adtak takarót és amikor szóltunk hogy adjanak akkor azt mondták hogy nincs több igy egész élyel fáztott.

Accueil chaleureux mais trop insistant – malaise pour une voyageuse solo
Pros:

L'établissement est correct, prix abordable.

Cons:

Point négatif : L''accueil m'a vraiment gênée.
Un employé (jeune homme de la vingtaine) a été hyper collant : questions perso (« tu manges où ce soir ? », « tu fais quoi après ? »), propositions répétées de m'accompagner ou de jouer à un jeu, malgré mes réponses claires que je voulais rester seule et me reposer.
Fille de 21 ans en solo, arrivée fatiguée de l’avion.. je me suis sentie mal à l’aise et un peu obligée de rester polie..mais selon lui c'était "les Français sont comme ça, aigri" pardon ?
Son attitude bizarre et ses réponses évasives ont rendu l’arrivée stressante et peu agréable.
Dommage, ça gâche beaucoup l’expérience.
À éviter pour les voyageuses solo..

Cons:

Ended up having bedbugs, when telling this to the staff they told me they will get me another room for the next day but I had to leave already so i ended up sleeping on the couch. Bedbugs are unacceptable and I hoped for a better solution when this happens.

Pros:

Personel çok ilgi ve güler yüzlüydü, hostelin iç tasarımı çok tatlıydı ve konumu da iyiydi. Taksi konusunda yardımcı olmalarını isterseniz sizi direkt hostelden alcak şekilde araç gelebiliyor.

Cons:

Yatakların ve tuvaletlerin temizliği daha iyi olmalı

Nice looking place, a couple of cockroaches, hard bed, helpful staff, good location.
Pros:

The location was a few minutes walking distance from jemaa el fna square and the myriad of surrounding stalls, restaurants, etc...

The interior decor is very nice and authentic. There's a nice terrace.

The bathroom and shower room were clean.

The guy at the hostel (sorry, didn't get his name) was helpful and available at all hours. I needed a cab to the airport at 4:30 am, which he arranged for me and while i was waiting outside, he noticed that the cab was running a little late and took the initiative to call the driver again.

Cons:

There were a couple of small, dead cockroaches in my room. And on my 2nd night a rather large one came crawling under the door into my room, under the bed, and then back out again.

My bed was really hard.

There was a group of really noisy, inconsiderate, Spanish people talking loudly, and making all sorts of noise at the smallest hours of the night. It would have been nice if they had been shooshed more affectively although this can't be taken out on the staff. I had a horrible couple of nights' sleep.
