credit cards are not accpeted so you have to pay in cash. The rooms are not clean and the area is not friendly...

The place is really cute, the staff friendly, and the free internet was very much appreciated. The bathroom was a little dirty, and unfortunately the room and bed in particular felt really damp due to the poor ventilation from the tiny bathroom - but there isn't much they can do about this due to the size of the room, and they did a good job under the circumstances.

The room was damp, but no big problems

Not bad, price a little higher for what you got, but clean enough...front desk guy was odd, seemed a little drunk or something but overall was OK. Mostly liked that it actually had soe character.

Amazing hostel 15 minutes from the mosque right on the bay close to the mercado and the staff is awesome! free tea and coffee 24/7 and great breakfast as much as you can eat. Clean and fantastic, would go back tomorrow!

I actually stayed here twice and the staff let me leave my surfboards behind whilst i was gone for 10 days, good place to stay when first arriving into moroc, just dont get ripped off on the taxi from the station to the hotel

Great hostel. But dont ask for an airport pick up because if your flight is delayed at night they will leave you at the airport like they did me my first night with no where to go. So I had to go to another hotel the first night. Other then that great place would stay again. But you wont find it on your own but that is typical for any where in Moroccos medians.... but i say again great great place to stay:)

the staff is great, they make the place feel like home. very hospitable.

Lovely hostel with great moroccan feel. Better than most of the hotels that we stayed at throughout Morocco! However, it is a bit of a scary area and you wouldnt stay in Casa for long if you could help it...

A lovely hostel with a lot of charm. The staff go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and welcome. The rooms are full of character and clean.

Great staff, amazing breakfast which is included in the price! Location is in walking distance from the mosque...but seems a bit dangerous for walking around at night. Was good for our one night stay in Casa.

Owner is a surfer! Big help for anyone keen to ride Ain Diab breaks.

This place has an amazing breakfast with welcomining staff. It is more of a hotel than a hosel, which makes it an incredible value.

The Hostel was really good situated. It was just outside the old medina. We did everything walking: to the new centre, the old medina, the mosque, etc. We have been lucky with our room, because we had a good view over the port and our room was really nice with tipical Moroccan decoration. But we also saw other rooms that were interior, really small and without nice views. So it depends really on the room they give you. The bathroom is a bit shabby, but just fine for a couple of days. Breakfast is included which is really good!!! And there's free internet!!If you take a taxi, say that it´s next to the Youth Hostel, so they know were it is. I recommend this hotel to young people, who are not looking for a lot of luxury. It's perfect for 2 or 3 nights!

This is a really nice place to stay. The location is excellent - walking distance to souk, good places to eat and sites. No elevator but the walk to the roof top patio is worth it! Great views of ocean; wonderful place to hang out and read. Rooms are simple but comfortable. Best part is the staff - super friendly, always available. Also has internet in basement with several computers.

Not a bad hotel to stay but not in the best area - its a small walk from the main part of Casablanca. Room was nice enough & clean and made up everyday. Brekky was simple - bread, butter & jam, tea & freshly squeezed OJ. Free internet doznstairs was a bonus.. only downside was all the men hanging out in the square opposite made me a little uncomfortable - plus seeing a fight break out at 10am in the morning didnt help.

Stayed in this hotel for 2 nights. The good: it's pretty cheap and reasonably clean. It's located in the old Medina, i.e. in a central location. Breakfast is included and good. The staff was very helpful and got me a taxi at 5:30am when I needed it on my departure day. There's free internet terminals available. The bad: the part of the Medina that the hotel is in seems a bit sketchy, and though it's central, you have to walk a bit to get anywhere. The room with the internet terminals was fairly dirty. Overall: an okay budget hotel in a city that doesn't have as much to offer to the tourists as other places in Morocco.

The taxi dropped my sister and myself outside the wall of the old medina in which the Central is situated and warned us to be very careful, that it was very dangerous inside the medina (he then tried to charge ten times the due taxi fare!!!) So with trepidation we walked through the unkempt square to the hotel. We received a very friendly reception and was told that there was a free internet service in the basement. Although the hotel the hotel is a bit jaded it has great character and the room was very clean and comfortable - although very bright! When returning from a day out the hotel manager offered us complimentary tea and shisha and made us feel very welcome. There were also American / English films on the TV. Breakfast was lovely - a huge glass of fresh orange juice, great coffee and toast or pancakes and pan au chocolate. Casablanca is not a pretty place to visit but the welcome we received in the hotel and the small bars and resteraunts we visited made it the friendliest place we stayed in Morocco.

We stayed at this hotel for one night during our stay in Casablanca. We booked it due to the proximity to the Hassan II Mosque. It is only a 20-30 minute walk away. Rooms are clean and nicely decorated. I especially enjoyed the bright colors on the walls, and the charm and character of the public areas. The bed was also very comfortable. The balcony outside the room is also nice, overlooking the courtyard, with a view of the Atlantic Ocean beyond the harbor. However, it can be a bit noisy at times. We were there during Ramadan, and people stayed up until about 32:00 AM. The courtyard really comes alive after dark. The hotel staff is very helpful and friendly, and speaks pretty good English. On the down side, there is no elevator.

Booked this hotel through Hostelbookers.com (they don't just do hostels!). It worked out about £25 per night for a double room. My partner and I were in a lovely room (the one in the pic shown on the website), with soft lighting, a bowl of fruit, a lovely, big, comfy bed and a decent-sized bathroom. There was also a little balcony looking out onto the medina. The location is fantastic - right in the heart of the old medina, where trade is bustling and the people are among the friendliest I've met in any country. The staff were also polite and helpful, and made us a fantastic Continental breakfast (included in the price). Despite its continously bad press, I absolutely adored Casablanca and can't wait to go back - thanks in part to the lovely Moroccan people, including the staff at this hotel!

Casablanca is not that great of a place to visit as a tourist in the first place. And Hotel Central is certainly not the best place to stay, but its pretty cheap. Just the basic necessities: room barely big enough for the beds, no elevator, no shower curtain, no air conditioner, etc etc. The dining area is kind of nice and staff were helpful and nice. The hotel is located on a little square with some local color.

This is a wonderful place. We arrived in Casablanca after a sleepless, stressful 2 day delay in Dubai. Jamal had held our reservation and immediately made us comfortable. He and his staff were so kind and friendly and the room was great - bright and clean, decorated with bright paint, traditional furniture, crisp linens and Moroccan tile. For pepole like me who have to stay connected, there was WiFi access on the main floor and a great Internet Cafe on the lower level. Jamal suggested several good restaurants and when one of them was hard to find, one of his staff walked with us to make sure we did not get lost. Jamal and his wife also prepared a wonderful dinner for us one of the nights we were there. The price was quite reasonable and the food was wonderful. We stayed here again on our way out of Morocco. I recommend it very highly.

by booking, we payed €20,13 in advance.When we left the hotel the charged the full price,the €20,13 is for the bookingfirm they said. I contacted this firm and the hotel was not honest (and the hotel knew the rules).

I spend two nights here coming into Casablanca and flying out of Casablanca after a few days in Marrakesh. I loved this place as the staff made us feel at home right from the beginning. They all helped us all the time. They are very polite and patient to answer any question on Casablanca. When it is not fully booked you can choose the room (take one at an upper floor with views to the harbor), we even got a room with three beds paying a double room. There is no elevator, but they will help you with the suitcases all the time. 24h free internet in the basement and a really nice breakfast downstairs (the time we were there, you could not stay on the terrace). The rooms are cheap (36 Euro for the double room), clean, they do have a TV and if you do not have a remote control or if there is anything else missing (like towels or shampoo) just ask for it, they would bring it immediately. The bathrooms were ok, well, for the price probably even above average but for sure not like in a 4 star hotel). The location is right in the Medina, you can easily walk everywhere from there (Shops, Mosque etc.) and to get to/from the station you do not pay more than 15/20 Dirham if you are good at bargaining or if you manage to convince the Petit-Taxi-driver to put the taximeter on. Overall I was really happy about staying there and as another user said, do not forget to tip the staff, they do deserve it!!!

Located on edge of Old Medina. Taxi fare 30 Dirhams from main train station (Gare Casa Voyageurs). Single room for 360 Dirhams. Very basic accomodation, but clean, quiet, in-room WC and shower with hot water. Bed was comfortable, and very quiet. Great for students or travelers on a budget who jut need a place to stay for a cheap price. Continental breakfast included. FREE ACCESS to basement internet room with about 10-15 computers!! That's cool !!

This is a nice hotel, in the middle of the medina. The owner is really nice, and tries to help in everything he can ( trains timetables, etc.). Rooms are really nice, some have nice views to the port. Great decoration. 36€ a night, for a double room, really good. Clean enough to feel comfortable. Tv in all rooms, for nights when you come back exausted and want to relax a bit. they have a top terrace where you can have breakfast, although when we went the weather was not very good. They accept euros appart from Dirhams, too. The breakfast is incredible!! I liked it a lot, and I strongly recommend it.

We stayed for two weeks and it was fun,the staff were so kind to us,like the guys who brought us our breakfast and the girls who cleaned our rooms(the girls even did our laundry for free!!) . The owners are also great young people and very helpfull. They even got wireless internet for free! The rooms are very clean,even cleaner than some expensive hotels. So don't mind if your room is on the third floor(because there is no elevator but you'll get used to it)and dont mind that there is no phone in your room. But I'm sure you're gonna love this place. Ask for a room with a beachview. The decorating at the lobby and restaurant area is also great. You can have dinner sometimes at the restaurant after eight PM ,but don't expect it every night ,just ask the staff. This was a nice experience,and I will visit Hotel Central next time again. Ow ,and don't forget to tip the cleaning girls and the boys downstairs because they deserve it.

This was a good hotel. The lobby and restaurant were well decorated and the rooms were nice as well. More importantly the staff was very nice and helpful. The food in the restaurant was very tasty and reasonably priced.

Easy to find and friendly staff (French speaking only) however room not cleaned until after first night and poor showers/bathroom. Would not stay again. Price reflected quality.
