I wanted to rate this place highly, but unfortunately, the staff experience changed my mind. I didn’t feel welcome here. The receptionist, who introduced himself as “Safi” but was also called “Mohammed” by others, tried to overcharge me. I understand this is a budget accommodation, but while others paid 60 Dirhams, he asked me to pay 65 Dirhams.
Additionally, I was approached by someone who followed me and claimed he had guided me, despite me using Google Maps and not asking for any help. The receptionist insisted I pay him, which felt unnecessary and a bit strange.
When shown to my room, I requested a lower bunk, which was clearly empty. However, the receptionist claimed it was occupied. Even the next day, the bed remained empty, and other hostel guests confirmed it had never been taken. This was disappointing and made me feel uncomfortable.
That being said, the location is great, the rooftop is nice, and the overall setup is decent. Just a word of advice—treat your guests with honesty and respect. It makes all the difference.
