You can stay in an authentic whorehouse for $26 per night ($30 to claim your very own bathroom across the hallway). The place is very clean, with shiny floors and modern bathrooms (two of which are better than my bathroom at home), But, to be totally honest, I have to report I saw a cockroach (there seemed to be more of these on the SJ streets than in the past -- a summer effect?). I want to stress, however, that this Marruecos place was vastly cleaner than any other massage parlor I have seen, with the excpetion of a single upscale place in El Barrio Norte of Buenos Aires. I would not want to sleep at Bar Idem or New Fantasy, and I can't afford to sleep at Zona Blue. The beds at HM are very firm, in the style of extra-wide massage mats. The TVs work, and there's a microwave, regrigerator, and coffee pot that you can use down the hallway. Priscilla, la proprieteria, is an authentically welcoming and helpful lady. She let me win a game of fusball (with the hand cranks) in her office and offered me some Johnny Walker Red. Priscilla went out of her way to help me experience some of her young ladies, even on a Sunday when the place is officially closed. The cost was about $30 per hour, extra on Sunday requiring a lady's special trip from the suburbs, It was interesting to watch the gringos and the ticos poke their heads in the door all day to check out the ladies in the incense-wafting sitting room. There was no problem in bringing ladies back to the Marruecos from the Key Largo: everyone was nice. I often had the upstairs to myself, but a resident old-timer was around sometimes to show me how to play 9-ball. I think the place could be a big financial success if it had more ticas, but I suppose it's a chicken- and-egg problem to get the chicas to sit around waiting for business to perk up. There is some connection between this place and another MP in a worse neighborhood, with the chicas going back and forth as needed. Hostel Marruecos is on 3rd Street (Calle Tres) between 5th and 7th Avenidas. That makes it a little closer to the Blue Marlin than the SL, and there is a good supermarket and internet/phone place within 150 meters. Zona Blue is less than 3 blocks away. It's reasonably safe to walk outside on 3rd street toward the Plaza de Cultura until 9 or so: lots of bustle. But don't walk after dark in the direction of Zona Blue. There are lots of taxis including Priscilla's paramour. The only problem I had with the place is that the windows for the upstairs rooms are over a busy street where buses sit with their engines running. I don't mind the noise, but the fumes did me in. Next time I will seek a room within the interior. I just love the idea of staying in a whorehouse, a clean whorehouse with nice people, but not too many. I write all this in the knowledge that the place might become a magnet for cheap crazy gringos, but I am sworn to tell the truth and not to keep finds to myself. Others have helped me out so much by providing needed information. I owe you. Hostel_Marruecos@yahoo.com 221-0468 862-6662 |

I think they have two rooms on the first floor also, they could have less noise, this is my backup hotel if the Morazan is full. |

This place may be a whorehouse but so is ZB and everyone seems to like it.The fact is you can`t a better deal this close to the DR as specially long term stays. |

I am a die hard ZB fan, but I'm definitely going to check it out. And only a block from ZB! |

I checked it out last trip. They have about 3 nice rooms upstairs and each have an electronic safe. It's really a good alternative. I don't know what the security is at night, whether or not there's a guard stationed at the door to let you in. But as I understand it you can bring girls back with no chica fee. The rooms themselves are well worth the money and one had two double beds. The pool table upstairs is free I believe. It's just right around the corner from Muses and on the same street as the Europa massage parlor so ZB is down one block then just down the hill. Was there AC in the rooms or do you have to keep the windows open to keep cool? If the windows have to be open I guess there is no way around the fumes? |
