Dar el Pacha Hostel

If you miss staying here when in town, you're missing a lot. Great staff, free pool table, free international sports on the telly, quality chilled music during the day, friendly staff, very central location, good value, laid back atmosphere, comfortable rooms, several showers on every floor, beautiful views of the sea up top, lovely staff, really nice decor, free Wi-Fi, and good security. Certainly not your average hostel; way above that plus it has its own, unique flavour.

Right in the heart of the medina. Clean comfortable room. If you are keen to socialise with other travellers and not lock yourself away this is the place for you. Good base for exploring the town. Great terrace and common areas. Nearby food outlets and good shopping.

Ben, the owner is wonderful. He is very friendly and happy to help. Unfortunately the two girls working in the hostel are absolutely miserable. From the moment we walked in they were extremely unfriendly, never smiled, never even said Hi. We have stayed in hostels all over the world and we found the staff besides Ben to be the unfriendliest we have ever experienced. This hostel is perfect is you are young, smoke a lot and like to stay up very late. They play the music until 2am and it is impossible to sleep. It was freezing cold all day and night. If you are young, love to smoke (the place including your room stinks of smoke), stay up all night without sleep and don't care about cleanliness than this hostell is for you. The hostel is cheap and is good if you are on a very tight budget. Its unfortunate that Ben has those 2 girls working for him. He could make this place really good if he hired polite staff and allowed smoking in the terrace only. We wanted to sit and relax in the common area but were unable due to the disgusting smell of smoke.
