I had a pretty good stay at Hostel Dar Ben Youssef, mainly due to the superb staff and its fantastic location within the medina. The breakfast was a highlight, really good and providing a great start to my days. However, there were some downsides like the water draining issues in the shower, which impacted my overall comfort. The beds could also use waterproof covers for hygiene reasons.

I had a great two-night stay at Hostel Dar Ben Youssef. The staff were friendly and always ready to help, and the location in the heart of the medina made it easy to explore Marrakech. However, the noise from the hallway and nearby mosque during prayer times could be disruptive at times.

I had a lovely stay at Hostel Dar Ben Youssef. The central location made it easy to explore the vibrant medina and the really good views from the terrace were a highlight. However, the water drainage issue in the shower was quite bothersome and the beds could use better hygiene measures, such as waterproof covers. Overall, my experience was positive, but there are definitely areas for improvement. 😊

My stay at Hostel Dar Ben Youssef was genuinely enjoyable. The hotel is beautiful and perfectly located in the heart of the Medina, making it easy to explore. Moha and Abdul were really good hosts, always welcoming and helpful. However, I found the bathroom a bit small and the location of some toilets inconvenient. Overall, I can't wait to return! 🌟
