Positive points:
- Check-in/check-out process was fast and easy.
- Price was relatively cheap (I paid around 15 dollars per night)
- Staff were almost friendly, but the didn't speak any english. Might be a challenge if you have extra requests other than getting to your room, etc.

Negative points:
- Unclean overall.
- Most of the spaces smelled badly with lots of flies hovering from time to time, including the bathroom.
- Towels also smelled like they were not washed.
- There were no handsoap in the only bathroom which was shared between the rooms.

Conclusion:
For 10 to 15 dollars a night, might be an ok place if you are only staying for one night, spending most of the time outside and only want a bed to sleepon. But there are other hostels in the area where you can get a nice clean room for 20-25 dollars a night which also include a private clean bathroom.
Personally, I will never go back to this place again.

Good value. Needs some work.

The young boys at the hostal cannot speak English.

They asked me twice to pay for my stay. Even tho it was already paid through the app.

The terrace has a wonderful view. But needs some work to make it nice.

All in all good value tho.

Okay room, hard bed, only amenities was toilet roll and shampoo sachet. Regular bathroom checks would be nice as it was always full of hair in the sink and the floor.

This property was a perfect location. Would reccomend bringing earplugs for light sleepers, but not horribly loud!

Not bad if you want to save some money

Being a hostel, everything was a bit cramped. Accessing the bathrooms was inconvenient, especially considering that they were shared. Other than that, everything was great. The service was genuine, there was a good view, although the room was a little cold. Easy access to Medina and waterfall

Great location. Bed was hard as a rock. Small room but cozy so doable, but showers dont have a door. Worth what your paying

Old but quaint, good if you like a hard bed

Bed was hard as nails and room quite small with the bathroom up a couple of steps. However the hostel is in an old building so each room is unique. Staff were friendly and helpful and the terrase has a great view. It is in a quiet street just outside the medina so a taxi can take you to the door. Clean with good hot shower and decent WiFi

Lots of other better hostels in the area

This hostel is a work in progress. And it has a really long way to go still. Unfortunately, I saw other hostels in the area and they are much, much better compared to this one. The room smelled musty and dirty, hit my head twice on the doorway arch going to the bathroom because it was about 5 feet high, and took pains to shower a certain way in order for the water to not stream into the bedroom area. Yes it was cheap but for the same price you can get a better room at other hostels. Such a shame because the balcony view of the mountainside is breathtaking.

元々期待をせずに行きましたが、想像以上に残念なホテルでした。お風呂とトイレが畳半畳分のサイズにあり、もちろんお湯はでませんでした。暖房設備も無く非常に寒かったです。ホテルの受付の方の愛想は良かったので、その点だけがプラスです。

11／14に宿泊。

共用部分は暖房があって暖かかったが、部屋に暖房がないのでとても寒かった。

就寝時は毛布2枚かければとても暖かかった。

シャワーのお湯の温度は良かったが、水圧が低かった。

夏の滞在なら快適かも

NO RECOMENDABLE

Para empezar, nos dijeron que solo teniamos reservada una noche y no dos como habiamos contratado por hoteles.com, y diciendo que la segunda estaban llenos y que no nos podian acoger. Después de 45 minutos solucionando esto, encima nos querían hacer pagar las noches, cuando ya habíamos pagado hacía dias por hoteles. Luego, no encontraban las llaves de nuestra habitación, haciendonos esperar aún más por si no fuera poco. No nos enseñaron donde estaban ni las duchas ni el lavabo. No nos dieron ningun tipo de explicación: ni de como contratar el desayuno ni de como eran las instalaciones de las cuales podíamos disfrutar en el hostal. La única ducha que hay es insuficiente para todas las habitaciones. Además no tiene ni cortina y el suelo siempre está empapado y encharcado. Tambien hay un solo baño para todos. Por el mismo precio hay hostels de mucha más calidad en este pueblo. Nada recomendable, ni por el servicio ni por las instalaciones. Nada que ver con las fotos que vimos en la web. Solo podemos destacar la bonita terraza, pero viendo los demás fallos, podemos decir que no vale la pena.
