Kasbah Red Castle Hostel Reviews

Kasbah Red Castle Hostel is a good hostel for the price. Staff or the owner will send you an elaborate email with plenty of info and contact info for your convenience. Beds are comfortable and warm. Simple bread and jam breakfast is served at 8 a.m., and tea is mostly available throughout the day.

The Location

This hostel is easily reached from airport; if you're feeling up to it, it is only an hour's walk. Due to the small streets, the hostel is slightly hard to find if not walking around with a GPS, but it is well marked. The hostel can also arrange an expensive airport transfer. Local kids might ask you where you are headed and will offer to bring you there; they might also not always know the place, but will guide you somewhere nonetheless and also still ask for a tip/fee.

Locals sell produce around the corner the in morning. The location is in a nice, local residential area a bit away from the touristic part of the medina, thus allowing a more real feel of Marrakech.

Rooms and Bathrooms

Dorm rooms are small; despite this, they somehow fit in three triple-bunk beds, though the bunk beds are very sturdy and each bed has a power outlet. A small room filled with twelve people means there isn't much space for bags and you will not have much breathing room when it's fully booked. The room also boasts some lockers (there are not enough for each bed), but due to the setup in the locker, it can only hold smaller items. The room is clean, with nice and warm linens and blankets, which are especially needed in the winter months.

Bathroom and shower are good and warm. Towels are provided for a fee.

Common Spaces

The ground floor has a big common area with a little reception desk -- this is the patio of the kasbah. Here, there are also dorm rooms and a shower and toilet. More dorms and bathrooms are on the first floor, where there is also a good kitchen (relative to what you might find in other Moroccan hostel accommodations). For relaxing under the stars or sun, the roof terrace will serve your every need, though due to the humidity (in winter), the seating can be somewhat wet even without rain.

Summary

This is a good economic hostel option. The location is farther from the center of action than most accommodations, but the Medina is small enough for it not to be a problem or even a boon.
