"A hostel with a great social atmosphere and beautiful rooftop, but with noticeable issues."

5.0

The rooftop terrace was definitely one of the highlights of the hostel. I appreciated the complimentary tea service and met some genuinely great people during my stay, which made for some memorable conversations and experiences. The social atmosphere among travelers was strong, and I’m grateful for the people I connected with while there.

There were unfortunately a few areas that could be improved. I found the staff somewhat cold, off, and not especially welcoming, which affected the overall first impression of the stay. A more personable and guest-oriented approach would make a big difference in creating a warmer atmosphere. The bathroom situation also did not feel adequate for the number of guests sharing the space. The bathroom was quite small, not consistently clean, and seemed insufficient for the number of people using it. Additionally, the laundry service was extremely overpriced for what was offered (200MAD). The rooftop itself was beautiful, but I personally would have preferred a quieter atmosphere there rather than loud music playing continuously, as it could otherwise be a very peaceful space to relax.

Fiquei muito satisfeita com a minha estadia neste hostel! A localização é excelente, muito prática e perto dos principais pontos da cidade, o que facilitou bastante os passeios e deslocamentos. O atendimento foi impecável: toda a equipe é extremamente simpática, prestativa e sempre disposta a ajudar com dicas e informações. Outro ponto que merece destaque é a limpeza, tudo muito organizado, quartos e áreas comuns sempre limpos e bem cuidados. O café da manhã também superou as expectativas, com opções variadas, saborosas e frescas para começar bem o dia. Com certeza voltaria a me hospedar aqui e recomendo para quem procura conforto, bom atendimento e ótima localização!

El ambiente de gente joven y la terraza muy bien acomodada.

La habitación era un poco justa de espacio y el aislamiento acústico regular, pero eso es algo general en todos los Riads.

"Противоречиво"

6.0

Очень легко познакомиться с путешественниками. Наверху классная терраса, где все собираются вечером. Отличный вариант для тех, кто путешествует в одиночку и хочет пообщаться.

Музыка на террасе играет весь день и после 12 ночи. Это не вариант для тех, кто хочет спокойно отдохнуть в номере. Берите беруши. Я бронировала private room на 3 ночи, но меня заселили в номер с тремя кроватями. Номер был неудобный. В последний день я прихожу в номер, а моих вещей нет!!! Оказалось, что в их системе бронирования 2 ночи были в этом номере, а последняя - как раз в private room, которую я забронировала, и они перенесли все мои вещи и даже не сообщили мне об этом! Самое интересное, что 10 минут назад я видела менеджера, и даже тогда он мне ничего не сказал. Я испытала большой стресс от данного происшествия. Хорошо, что все вещи и деньги были на месте. В целом, менеджер не очень дружелюбный. В этом хостеле не дают советов, куда сходить или где поесть, как это обычно происходит в хостелах. Также в этом отеле работает типа туристический агент. Мы покупали через хостел тур в Сахару на 3 дня: Фес - Мерзуга - Марракеш. Стоил 220 евро за автобус 17 чел. Тур по описаниям был лучше, чем на самом деле. Поэтому лучше покупать более дешевый тур в других местах: туры везде одинаковые, если они чем-то лучше, то будут намного дороже или просто повезло с водителями.
