Riad Dia Reviews

Riad Dia is a busy hostel with a typical single traveler/backpacker atmosphere. The dorm rooms are set for many people (maybe too many). The common areas are where you’ll spend most of your hostel time. The cheap price includes a simple breakfast and as much tea as you want during your stay.

The Location

This hostel is centrally set, very close to Marrakech's iconic Koutoubia Mosque and Jemaa el Fna Square. This location is perfect for public transport option, as buses serve the road next to the mosque and the bus station (Gare Routiere) is a short, fifteen-minute walk away. Furthermore, it's close to all sights of the Medina. As the hostel is still on the edge of the Medina, the risk of getting lost is thankfully smaller, and you will see signs of hostel after passing the Hotel Les Jardins De La Koutoubia.

Rooms and Bathrooms

Dorms are spacious enough, even with six bunk beds, though there seems to be only one power outlet. Some dorm rooms have a bathroom with toilet attached. Ours is attached to the room and is quite big, with plenty of space for your stuff. The water is hot, though seeing as it got colder quickly, you might not get a warm shower during busy times.

Common Spaces

The hostel has traditional, beautiful courtyard with plenty of space to lounge, complete with trees and even a swimming pool. This hostel seems popular with backpackers and single travelers and this creates a certain atmosphere; the lounge area in the courtyard is good to socialise or party. You’ll most often even be served tea while relaxing in this central courtyard. The beautiful rooftop terrace will serves a similar function and is a nice place to hang out at night. The availability of a kitchen is nice and it has all the basic utensils and a refrigerator in which to store your food.

Summary

The hostel has a very chilled atmosphere. The vibe, of course, is mainly created by the guests that it attracts, and is really social leaning to the party side. So maybe it's not everyone's cup of tea, so just make sure it is yours to avoid disappointment. It's a good hub to connect with fellow travelers. In terms of location and facilities, this hostel definitely offers your money’s worth, and even more in summer when you will be able to enjoy the swimming pool.
