Overview

'Auberge de jeunesse' is French for youth hostel, and this one is set up for travellers arriving by rail: the property says Marrakech's main railway station is about nine minutes away.

It's a budget hostel with a social feel. There's a garden and a shared lounge for downtime, and a terrace with views across the city. The Majorelle Garden and Jemaa el-Fna are both named as easy to reach.

Highlights

  • About nine minutes from Marrakech railway station
  • Garden and shared lounge
  • Terrace with city views
  • Budget-friendly, sociable hostel
  • Access to the Majorelle Garden and Jemaa el-Fna

Location

The station sits between Gueliz and Hivernage, in the newer part of the city outside the Medina walls. From this side of town, the Majorelle Garden is a short taxi ride or a longer walk, and Jemaa el-Fna is best reached by petit taxi or bus.

Despite the name, the hostel isn't in Asni, the Atlas village south of Marrakech; the listing places it near the station. Check the map on this page for its exact spot.

Good to know

  • Some youth hostels ask for a membership card or charge a small supplement without one; check when booking.
  • Trains run from here to Casablanca, Rabat and other cities, which makes this a convenient first or last night.
