Although, the hostel is small and lacks ventilation, the staff and location made up for it. You are treated like a friend as soon as you walk in and the location cannot be any better, only minutes walk from the blue gate. One of the staff (who I forgot his name - funny guy with curly hair) went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. Made sure I had breakfast before I head out for my early tour. Very knowledgeable and helped me with my itinerary around Fez and other cities so I can maximize my stay in Morocco. My stay was so pleasant, I extended one more night.
The hostel need some upkeep specially the toilet, it wasn't bolted tight :). Not sure if they're aware of that...

Excellent experience. The host is so friendly and welcoming, we took the double room the night before our flight. Great location very close to the marks cafes and restaurants. The locals are very friendly.

This is a small hostel with only 6 rooms: 3 private, and 3 dorms with 8 beds, 4 beds, and 4 beds, respectively. I liked the homey feeling, and Laid and the rest of the staff were absolutely amazing — they invited hostel guests to join them for Iftar every day during Ramadan. The Wi-Fi was great, and the showers were hot with good water pressure. The 4-person dorm room only had one socket, but there was an extension block that had four plugs. The location of the hostel was perfect — it’s tucked away on a quiet side street very close to the medina! The guests here were awesome and I ended up meeting two of them in other cities later on during my trip. The hostel was quiet at night, as guests tended not to stay up too late, but just be aware that this is a tiny hostel
-There is a common “smoking room,” but unfortunately it is completely walled off and has no windows.
-The riad is very small and doesn’t get much sunlight. The hostel rooms and bathrooms are small as well. Mostly, it would be nice to have a little more room to hang out in!
-You have to pay 10 MAD for a towel, and though small lockers were provided, you need to bring your own lock.
-I paid $14 USD per night for the 4-bed dorm room, which I thought was a bit pricey as far as hostels in Morocco go. It might be cheaper if you don’t go through Booking.com or Hostelworld. And the hostel only accepts cash payments.
-Neither the main door to the hostel nor the doors to the dorm rooms lock, so everyone has access to them.
-The worst part, however, was that I booked a 3 day/2 night Merzouga desert tour for 180 euros through the hostel. It was expensive, but I compared prices online beforehand and it seemed reasonably fair. However, the tour was HORRIBLE and a complete disaster. I was supposed to stay with a nomad family in the desert the first night, but the hostel called me 5 minutes before we arrived and told me it was too windy, so they stuck me in a budget hotel 2km outside of the city of Merzouga (so I couldn't even walk to a cafe or anything) for nearly 24 hours doing no activities. The only activities I ended up doing were a dinner at the desert camp the second night (the bonfire got cancelled) and a touristy camel ride the following morning (the camels were overbooked so we had to wait until after sunrise to ride them in a less-beautiful part of the dunes). The hostel promised me the bus would stop at Ourazazate and Ait Ben Haddou, two huge attractions in the area, on our way to Marrakech from the desert, but it made no stops except at overpriced tourist cafes for coffee and lunch. The hostel stay itself was very good, but the tour experience left me sour about the hostel because it shouldn't be promoting such a horrible experience.
