5 Cool Hostels in Marrakech for Your Trip (2024 Update)

Think you can’t come to Marrakech unless you’ve got the pocketbook of a sultan? If you’re searching for where to stay in Marrakech but you’re on a budget these hostels in Marrakech, Morocco are a good option.

With more and more travelers who travel to Marrakech thanks to plentiful flights on European low-cost carriers, there are more budget options available. Be forewarned because I live in Marrakech, I haven’t spent the night in any of these hostels but have heard about them from other travelers and through the word of mouth circuit.
