    The hostel had a nice communal area where you could hang out and meet other travelers. the staff was friendly and always willing to help. the location was convenient, close to the city center and public transportation. the hostel also offered free Wi-Fi, which was a bonus.

    The rooms were cramped and not very clean. the beds were uncomfortable and had a lot of bedbugs.

    the staff, although not very helpful in terms of recommendations, were friendly. the free mint tea was a great touch, and the included breakfast was a fantastic way to start the day. the value for money at this hostel was exceptional. my more outgoing friends had the opportunity to meet and hang out with some cool people they liked. Oh, and there was a cute little kitty in the common area!

    Nothing could have been better. 🙌.

    We had an amazing stay at Waka Waka in Marrakesh. the staff were incredibly friendly and always made us feel welcome. They even offered us complimentary tea throughout our stay. the location of the hostel was perfect, as it was close to all the main tourist attractions. We also loved that they organized affordable and safe trips to different cities, the mountains, and the desert. the atmosphere was fantastic, and we had the opportunity to meet and connect with fellow travelers from around the world. Plus, the rooftop was a great place to relax and get a good night's sleep. we highly recommend Waka Waka for solo travelers looking to meet new people. Cons: All was perfect! 😊.

    I recently stayed at a wonderful hostel in the heart of Morocco. For a few euros, I enjoyed comfortable beds, refreshing hot showers, and a delicious, hearty breakfast. The staff at this hostel were incredibly friendly and always went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. They even offered complimentary mint tea and laundry services. The hostel's location was perfect, within walking distance to popular attractions and the local bus stop. The atmosphere was vibrant and filled with interesting travelers. It truly felt like a home away from home.

    I would highly recommend this hotel.

    My friends and I had the most amazing time at this hostel, it was like a never-ending party! There were so many exciting activities to do, like taking a Moroccan cooking class and exploring the nearby Ourika valley. We also went on an independent trip to Essaouira and had a blast! The hostel was the perfect place to meet other young and fun-loving people, and we had plenty of singing and dancing sessions. It was also the ideal base for organizing excursions further afield, like visiting the Royal Tennis Harti and checking out the Tanneries. We couldn't have asked for a better place to have fun and make unforgettable memories!

    The only thing we wished for was a bigger common area or a rooftop terrace where we could have even more fun and hang out with everyone.

    The location of the hotel was ideal, just a short walk away from the main square. The staff was friendly and helpful, providing me with valuable tips and recommendations. The rooftop terrace was a great place to relax and meet other travelers.

    The lack of sound isolation in the room was a bit of a downside, but wearing earplugs helped me sleep well. The bathrooms could use some maintenance, although they were functional.

    The hostel's courtyard was a delightful mishmash of rugs, cushions, and eclectic decorations. The rooftop terrace offered lovely views of the city. I had a whole week to soak up the craziness of Morocco!

    Who doesn't love bed bugs and unwashed blankets? Adds a certain rustic charm to the experience, doesn't it?

    We had a fantastic stay at a hostel close to the main square. It was safe for solo female travelers, and the guys who run the hostel made our stay special. They were always available to help, answer questions, and even shared their food. the location was excellent, and the included breakfast, as well as the constant refill of mint tea, were a great bonus.

    We definitely got excellent value for our money and would choose this place again. Cons: Nothing could have been better!

    The location was excellent, situated at the edge of the Medina, offering a tranquil escape from the bustling city. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, ensuring a pleasant stay. The hostel was cleaned daily and had a lovely terrace where I could unwind. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with tea available throughout the day. I felt like part of a big family, laughing with the staff and enjoying the simplicity and traditional feel of the Riad.

    Strongly recommend this hotel.

    The hostel's location in the heart of the city center allows for easy access to all the attractions and nightlife. the rooms were comfortable, and the staff was extremely helpful, ensuring that we got the best prices for our activities. the breakfast was simple yet satisfying with a variety of options. the hostel provided free WiFi throughout, allowing us to stay connected.

    The hostel only had three bathrooms, which sometimes caused delays and inconvenience for a larger group like ours.
