Guest reviews for Atlantic Hostel

Tracy - 21/02/2026 14:26:13

"Everything was great. Location, bed w/ privacy curtains, multiple toilets and showers. Very nice facilities and people who work there!"

"Not a dislike, but if there were reading lights in the dorm beds that would be perfect"

Cassidy - 13/02/2026 12:45:06

"Was nicely located- very good vibe, very chill and hippy like. The beds were really comfortable and there was a kitchen to use. Staff was kind and seemed decently social in a chill way. Was only there 1 night tho."

"Bathrooms/ showers weren’t the greatest but not awful either!"

Guest reviews

"The breakfast, the architecture, the ac unit, the location"

Avis de Fereshteh Riad Inaka

"The owner and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. Lovely room. Fresh orange juice and a selection of jams at breakfast. Lots of good hot coffee Beautiful Riad"

Avis de Mary Riad Zagouda

"I had a room on the top floor (really the roof, so my door opened onto the deck). I suppose this could have been inconvenient during breakfast or during the evening if there were others chatting, but it was wonderful to be able to walk out my door and see the rooftops of the Medina. I also loved the cacophony of prayer that rang out over the Medina in the morning, though if you're not looking for this, a rooftop room might not be a good fit. It had an en suite bathroom, a double bed and a twin. The bed was comfortable. The hotel is a 3 minute walk from the main square filled with music and food vendors and is within the Medina. The breakfast was simple but included fresh juice and good coffee. The staff was friendly and helpful in booking my airport transfer. It's smaller than the Riads but that's why it's less expensive."

Avis de Kevin Sindi Sud

"This place is absolutely OUTSTANDING! A fully renovated gorgeous Riad. The architectural and decorative details are beautiful. The owner paid lots of attention to each detail which makes your stay so enjoyable. The food is incredible fresh and tasty. There are many communal places to enjoy in the Riad. It is a true gem that I highly recommend. Each room and bedroom are so beautifully decorated. The owner is extremely kind and knowledgeable, We had very good conversations with him. He also organized a night out in the desert. It was fantastic! It was a pleasure to stay at le Sauve Noble. We will come again."

Avis de Valerie Le Sauvage Noble

"The place is so nice and calm and the staff were amazingly helpful and friendly..I really appreciate the help Warda& Siham did to make our stay more pleasant …"

Avis de Huda Hotel Sahrai

"I stayed at Riad Maisson and had an exceptional experience. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated. The staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay. The location was perfect, close to major attractions and public transport. Breakfast was ok. I also appreciated the seamless check-in and check-out process. Overall, I highly recommend for anyone looking for a pleasant stay."

Avis de Joseph Riad Maissoun

"Our stay at Riad Star was excellent. Mourad really took care of us, from recommending places to see to making reservations to making sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. We were able to have a traditional Riad experience at an excellent price, and the views from terrace were beautiful at sunset time."

Avis de Karan Riad Star by Marrakech Riad

"I found everything I needed to the tieniest details."

Avis de Mateja Riad Dar Habiba by Garden Wonders

"Nothing felt fake or rushed. The camp was natural and simple. The staff didn’t act like sellers, but like hosts. The food tasted homemade. I really appreciated that feeling."
