GROSS and didn’t feel very safe at all. The bathrooms were disgusting and my bed had bedbugs and hair in it. Bring your own toilet paper and prayers

Good location, near to the main square, and very busy so met so many nice travellers. However the showers are always cold, the beds are uncomfortable and we woke up with bedbug bites. Was made to write a 5 star review on Hostelworld which also annoyed me

This is a lively hostel in a great location BUT unfortunately there are bed bugs, dirty beds, showers don’t work and very hot rooms. It’s advertised as having a pool, bar and air conditioning- it has none of these! It’s in a great location and lots of friendly people come here but I wouldn’t recommend as there are much better riads for cheaper.

I highly recomend not to visit this accomodation. My roommates and me had problems with bedbugs! At all the place was dirty and facilities as showers were not working properly. At least there was a nice roof terrace and the personal was overall quite nice. Still I would not reccomend to spend a night there.

BEDBUG ALERT! Don't book it! Seemed to me that the Hostel was good in 2013. But not anymore in 2018! The facilities are very old and used. The only positive thing is the friendly staff.

Vibe Analysis
Hostel Riad Marrakech Rouge has the bones of a central Marrakech social riad: Medina location, rooftop/terrace energy, breakfast, and a crowd that can be easy to meet. A few stays still land on the fun side, especially for solo travelers who just want a cheap, busy place in the middle of things. The warning label is loud. The recent pattern is dominated by dirty bathrooms and sheets, broken or cold showers, hard/tiny beds, no A/C or poor ventilation, late noise, and repeated payment disputes. Several people describe being asked for more money at check-in, missing change, or extra charges after leaving. This is not a comfort pick. It may work for one cheap night if you arrive with exact cash, low sleep expectations, and strong tolerance for grime. If safety, cleanliness, or straightforward pricing matter, choose somewhere else.
