Very good atmosphere in the hostel, the owners are very nice and welcoming and Malika the cleaning lady is very nice. The placement is also very convenient and good. Definitely coming back.

The hostel I booked at the Banana establishment was really comfortable, with a secure and quiet room. The staff were wonderful, and the location is perfect,close to everything you might need and right in the old city.

The exact address is hard to find but asking locals helped us. The entire place could use some cleanliness including the terrace and kitchen area. The linens were not very clean either.

The location is good and there is a fun terrace to sit and relax. Staff was very sweet, spoke english and gave recommendations as well. There's lockers to keep your stuff

The bathrooms need attention from both a maintenance and cleaning perspective.

A decent enough hostel in the old town but there are better available at a similar price point.

- the showers were often flooded and dirty - the bed sheets smelled of old feet, so I swapped them from another bed

- good location - reasonable price

It is a cheap and good hostel in the old town of Tanger. The host and the assistant were nice and chatty. It is important to note that the rooms don't have a window. Also, the bathrooms have, due to the ancient building the hostel is located in, no ventilation.

Unfortunately the terrace was wrecked by a storm, and they said they are going to rebuild it. At present only part of it can be used. The stairs are very steep and it's easy to slip. The stairway and one of the bathrooms need some paint. The sink In one of the bathrooms leaks, and the floor gets all wet when it's used. The room smells of mold so we had to keep the door and the window open when people don't sleep.

The location is central in the old Medina. Most of the points of interest in Tanger are within walking distance. There is common space in every floor. The kitchen is well equipped. The wifi is good and there are many places to work on the laptop. They make a cup of Moroccan tea for every new guest. :)

The hostel is lovely, great decoration, but the highlight is the staff. They're extremly nice, took us to a local live music act, we would have never encountered otherwise and we all hung out on the beautiful terrace later.

I didn't dislike anything, It was a good stay...

No breakfast but the location was good

Stayed in January 2025

There was no one there when I arrived I thought maybe the staff was busts but not - they were asleep - guys working there staying up night and then they wake up super late Rooms don’t really have windows outside but to the inner part of the house which is problematic - if there is one person talking outside the room you can hear as if they were sitting next to you. Internet was slow

Great location - just in Medina. Nice surroundings. Pleasant atmosphere. Friendly staff. Overall - good experience and I would stay there again.

The rooms on the second floor is a little bit smelly. Kitchen could use an upgrade.

It's was the only hostel with electric heating convectors during my 2 weeks winter stay in Morocco. Everywhere else in Morocco felt cold at night.

The bathroom fixtures could use a bit of love and hand soap would be appreciated. As others have mentioned, there are men waiting in the streets who want to guide you to the hostel for money and can be quite hostile when you refuse. Thus, I want to help future guests by giving them directions and pictures. Directions: When you pass through the stone archway next to Dar Laghrib Guest House (colorful hats and blue shutters), turn immediately left onto Rue Wadras. Turn right onto Rue Raiss when you see the tree murals, and the hostel is #40 on the left at the end of the alley (blue and white walls). Note: If you go straight instead of turning onto Rue Raiss, there is a #40 at the end of the street with a light blue door and cactus murals, but this is not the hostel. See annotations on photos for a visual guide. Hope this helps! :)

Great value right in the heart of the Medina but down a quiet street. Cleaning lady does a very thorough job. Very friendly, welcoming hosts with great hospitality. The women in my room were incredibly sweet and friendly, with lots of great advice and recommendations. Highly recommend for a more authentic local experience!

Hard to find No sign board

Staff was good

Stayed in November 2024

The property only has 3 bathrooms cum toilets and this mornings can be a lot of waiting. The property also was difficult to find in the maze of the medina, and thus you need to ask for help from random strangers who just want to extort money for giving directions, which makes it a bad experience.

We had a normal stay at Banana Hostel in Tangier. If you’re a solo traveler, this place works fine for a short visit. The location is a plus—it’s conveniently situated near the Continental Hotel, making it easy to explore the area. The amenities are basic, but it’s decent for the price. Not a standout experience, but good enough if you’re traveling on your own and need a simple place to stay.

Everything was nice, especially the owner was very helpful and open hearted
