We arrived Casablanca late in the evening, so needed a place to stay. Hotel Central is exactly like that. Just a place to stay. The taxi from the areport to the hotel was 300 MAD, without bargaining. The receptionist was really funny... seriuosly... probably also high like a kite.. so our adventour started from the beginning. The room we got... more

We had read other reviews and expected the area to be dodgy, and it probably was at night but after 23 hours travelling from Australia we were in bed before dark so didn't see anything unpleasant. This was a cheap hotel so it wasn't fancy, but for the money I think it was great value. Free interntet, all the Moroccan... more

We stayed for two nights, one night in room 35, on the rooftop and one in room 2, on the first floor. The rooftop-rooms are spartan and a bit damp (in April) but you have a great terrace at our doorstep with views all over the old medina. But the other guests use the terrace too so it can get... more

I agree with the other reviewers who said you can skip Casablanca but if you stay in Casablanca, you can find a nicer hotel for not much more money. Hotel Central's review led me to expect a charming and modest recently renovated hotel with lovely views and a nice park in front and it was located near the train station.... more

Non-expensive hotel, facility is ok for the price. It's located in the small old town. Unfortunately this district is very unsafe especially in nights. It seems to be normal that various people get robbed there each night. Better plan Casablanca for a day-trip, there are much better places with less criminals in Morocco. more

Really bad hostel. It seems that the neighborhood it's good, but when you arrived it's not the first think you think. Near the Medina (the awful one from all Morocco). You hear everything from the other rooms and from the outside. And the bathroom, c'mon how there is a shower without curtains?, get all the bathroom with water, for what?... more

I'd been warned that accommodation in Casablanca was overpriced for what you get, so I was ready. (And I'd skip Casablanca altogether if I went back.) I think staying at Hotel Central may be a better value as a single traveler, as my husband and I thought 400dh/night (about $50) was a little steep for the room and bathroom we... more

Hotel Central is located in the old medina, which we found to be an excellent location in reference to the souks(market) and Hassan II Mosque, which was within walking distance. We did find the hostel to be very loud at night, and not terribly secure, but acceptable, as we were traveling as a pair. When walking back to the hostel... more

This place totally sorted us out. My newly-wed and I arrived in Casablanca from an overnight bus from Essaouira at about half past four in the morning. A slight negative, despite the excellent location, is that no taxi drivers know where it is!! we recommend telling the taxi diver to go to the youth hostel that is next door. Anyhoo,... more

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,... more
