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.

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.
