Morocco Hostels

I was in Morocco in September 2006 and I can say it's one of my favourite places on the Earth. I have visited Marrakech and liked it soooooooo much. I am going to visit it again very soon. People are friendly, everything's just perfect.

Once you get there, run to your hostel then breathe! Find a cheap guide -- we paid 10 euros for the whole day and he took us for tea with his family! Don't buy anything in Tangier, by the way. Wait until another town.

I visited Marrakech and it was a great place to visit. Well recommended. Try the tajin -- it's lovely, and prepare to haggle! All I can say is that Marrakech is worth a look.

I only stayed in Casablanca for one night so I didn't get to see much, but I felt that it wasn't all that. Al Hasan II Mosque on the coast is quite a sight though.

When I got off the ferry, a kind gentleman greeted me and asked if I wanted a tour and said he was from the office of travel. I said, "cool!" And cool it was. He took me all over the city on a walking tour. He knew every single thing about that beautiful city. I loved Tangier and the olive oil and the lunches -- and the party on the beach until 5 a.m. I would recommend Tangier to travelers.

Equity Point Marrakech in Marrakesh … This hostel is a masterpiece. Converted from a luxury riad, and set in the heart of the Marrakech medina, this hostel marries spotless and beautiful rooms and bathrooms with incredible staff (Lluc and Nadia deserve a mention). Plus you can enjoy nights up lounging on the roof terrace overlooking the city. There are not enough good things I can say about this place. Simply put, if you're in Marrakech, you must stay here, no other hostel I've ever been to comes close.

Chefchaouen Youth Hostel in Chefchaouen … This summer 2006 I have stayed four nights at this hostel and I can guarantee you that this is one of the best hostel in the world. You get a perfect view of the town, free breakfast, and sometimes free dinners couscous (delicious by the way), ultra-super clean WC, the staff was more than helpful and fun to chat with them. But the best is definitely the nice and cosy rooms, and the super comfortable couches on the open terrasse. The terrasse is almost the nicest in the city! To be honest, if you have a place where to go in Morocco, first consider Chefchaouen (very nice town) and please consider this hostel. The friendly neighbours always come have a tea and discuss with you, I miss so much those neighbours. There is also free laundry (hi-tech laundry, very rare in Morocco), free DVDs to watch, internet, all this pure and perfect hostel for 7 or 8 euros a night! I have met the owner of the hostel and he is a very nice guy.

Marrakech Youth Hostel in Marrakech … I was originally wary about staying in a hostel far from the Medina, but this hostel was so relaxing and in a quiet area I felt like I was staying at a resort. Upon arriving at the hostel, I was warmly greeted by Aziz. What a great guy! Throughout my stay, he was very friendly and looked after me, expressing interest in my stay and inquiring if I was enjoying Marrakech. I found the hostel to be very clean and the beds were comfortable enough to get a good night sleep. There are plenty of rules, but there is no need to be worried -- they are there for a reason. Just pay when you are asked to pay, leave the hostel when you are asked to leave, and you will be met with kind appreciation.

HI - Fes Hostel in Fes … The staff was very friendly and the location is convenient to nearby food establishments. Courtyards are nice and clean and the breakfast simple. There was a rush for the showers when they turn the hot water on at 8 a.m. until 10 a.m.

HI - Tanger Hostel in Tangier … This is not a good place for girls! I heard a lot of people were robbed here. It's not in the best part of town, and the rooms are dirty and uncomfortable. You are better off going with your guide, who will meet you at the boat. The guides always bring you to a good place.
