05 November 2010 Sean would recommend this property

Liked: this is without a doubt one of the best hostels around. i loved all the comfortable spaces there were to relax. every corner you turn there are huge cushions and pillows to lay on, wonderful for vacation. i really enjoyed playing with the kittens in the lobby also.

Disliked: the only 2 things i disliked were how everything in the hostel shut down around midnight and we had to be quiet, and i think the bar could have served more drinks. no big deal though. i know the culture in marrakech does not focus at all on alcohol, but tourists that stay at the hostel definitely would appreciate a few cold beers while laying in the hot sun on the rooftop.

Liked: nice atmosphere, the pool's great (not very useful in winter, but great nonetheless), huge place very well decorated, nice showers in the room...

Disliked: the bar closes too early and there's not a lot of fun in it..

Liked: Beautiful place to stay, higly recomended! Its a nice spot, right in the medina in the souks, couldnt be better. But it can be hard to find, you have to walk some meters trough a narrow alley, first time that was quite scary. There are lights thought, but we weren't sure we walked the right way. But didn't felt unsafe after the first time.

Liked: Equity Point is a fantastic company to stay with. This hostel offers all the decor and culture of Marrakech without any dirtiness or insecurity one might expect from Morocco. This was by far my favorite hostel of our trip and I highly recommend it.

Disliked: The first time walking to the hostel, there were no signs to guide you...but the walk ends up being really simple.

12 October 2010

Liked: Great breakfast, refreshing pool but for an extra few euro there are far superior riads to stay in Marrakech that don't have bed bugs.

Disliked: Bed Bugs! And heaps of them - we were moved three times in one night but to no avail - each room had an infestation that seemed to come alive as soon as you lay your head on the pillow! Yuk!

11 October 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Beautiful building and such a great location in the medina.

Disliked: Nothing!

27 September 2010 Natalie would recommend this property

Liked: The location was amazing, right in the centre of the medina and a couple of minutes walk from the main square. The riad had a really authentic feel, great views from the roof terrace and a great place to meet people the same age and mindset. Also free internet.

Disliked: No major complaints but they don't serve any food other than breakfast, and although they do serve beers it seemend to be on random nights only so not guaranteed. There's a gorgeous place though if you want a frink called the piano bar at the jardine hotel (road behind Club Med). Also a couple of people got bitten by bedbugs but most people were fine.

22 September 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The riad had very spacious communal areas, free internet and breakfast! Room was clean, but smaller than what the photos on the website may show

Disliked: Not the fault of the hostel... but communal areas such as the pool area can get noisy even at 1am! However, the hostel assistant did ask the other guests to be quiet eventually

14 September 2010

Liked: It's got a pool to cool of in the heat of the day. But then again if you come all the way to Marrakech to sit inside a hostel and play around then your wasting your time here.

Disliked: The place is way overpriced, the rooms are hotter then the temperature outside making it nearly impossible to sleep. I saw other people walking around in the morning bitten by bed bugs and the bathroom doors don't lock securely so someone can easily walk in right when your doing your business. How this place can such great reviews is beyond me. After the first night we found Riads for half the price with A/C, and friendly helpful staff. Also don't bother booking the tours that are advertised at the hostel for the Sahara trips or any other. It's one company that does it and they have numerous sellers around town. If you buy your tour from another seller you can often haggle and get it a lot cheaper, we saved over 200Dh for the Sahara tour where as in the hostel just charged you the fixed price.

12 September 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Nice hostel with a great pool to escape the 40 degree heat. Very easy to meet other people.

Disliked: some staff made you book extra nights on the internet rather than at the front desk. They also closed the roof top area at 12 pm.

Disliked: hard to find but worth it.

09 September 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: - location- pool

Disliked: - when i first arrived they left me waiting in the lobby for 1.5 hours. Only after I went back to ask about my room did they remember and check me in. - internet connection is terrible and the computers are very slow - room didn't lock

03 September 2010 siobhan would recommend this property

Liked: lovely building and decor, very clean and relaxing

Disliked: One member of staff claimed to have no change when I asked for the deposit for my locker key back. I explained that I was on the way to the airport, this was all the money I had and that he would have to pay the taxi driver if he had no change. Suddenly he had change! When spending the day being ripped off by locals you don't need it from hostel staff aswell.

25 August 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: I like the amenities it had. Out of all the hostels I stayed throughout my trip this was the best one. The terrace was great and it had an awesome pool. The staff was great they really made you feel welcomed and had a pretty good breakfast which they came and served to you.

Disliked: Nothing really, maybe just that it was easier to find.

19 August 2010 Mumin would recommend this property

Liked: I've travelled to many parts of the world and this has got to be the best hostel I have ever stayed at. I've never heard of a hostel with a swimming pool and to add to all this the safety and security this place offered. I was amazed when a fellow traveller left his iPAD (yes iPAD) on charge with his docking station in full view all day at the chill out area, only for him to return later in the evening and casually start using it again. I couldn't believe it that nobody had stolen it! To add to all this the amazing multilingual staff. They made our stay extra special and a special thank you has to go to Zakaria, Hassan and Hussain. If you need anything meet the Equity Point Concierge. They will get you anything you need and help you with any problems you have. Thank you soo much fguys!!!

Disliked: Nothing

Liked: Beautiful property, beds big and comfortable, location amazing and the pool was beautiful. Overall an amazing riad to stay at. The breakfast was AMAZING! And its the only place where you can hooka that we knew of. Met cool and interesting people.

Disliked: THe receptionist people were very disorganized and had nothing on record. I found cheap deals at this place on hostelbookers which they werent aware were being offered and tried to charge me the full fare. Print out and bring your confirmation with you when you check in.
