Central House Marrakech Medina

  • PriceMAD 140–373/night per bed (~$15–$40)
  • CategoryBudget
  • Rating★ 4.2

Central House Marrakech Medina sits near Ben Youssef Mosque in the northern Medina, a quieter part of the old city that's still within walking distance of the Ben Youssef Madrasa, the souks, and Jemaa el-Fnaa, though the walk to the square takes longer than from a riad closer to the center. Run as a hostel-style property, the building follows the traditional Medina layout with narrow surrounding lanes and a rooftop terrace used as a communal gathering space.

Central House Marrakech Medina

Central House Marrakech Medina sits near Ben Youssef Mosque in the northern Medina, a quieter part of the old city that's still within walking distance of the Ben Youssef Madrasa, the souks, and Jemaa el-Fnaa, though the walk to the square takes longer than from a riad closer to the center. Run as a hostel-style property, the building follows the traditional Medina layout with narrow surrounding lanes and a rooftop terrace used as a communal gathering space. Rooms range from Mixed Dorms up through Double, Standard, and Superior private rooms, giving both backpacker and couple-friendly options under one roof. There's no full restaurant on site, but the rooftop terrace and communal areas support casual meals and socializing, and an outdoor pool is a notable amenity for a budget property in this part of the Medina. Practical services include an airport shuttle, laundry, and 24-hour reception, which suit travelers arriving late or moving on to desert or Atlas Mountain trips. The overall character is informal and backpacker-oriented, with staff geared toward budget travelers rather than a concierge-style luxury service.

Tips for visiting

  • Allow extra walking time to Jemaa el-Fnaa since the northern Medina location near Ben Youssef Mosque is further from the square than central riads

  • Take advantage of the laundry service before or after multi-day desert trips
