Hotel Halima
El Amane Hotel
Hôtel Mouna
This modernish abode is nothing flash, but it's calm, tidy and well managed. Rooms are spacious and come equipped with the requisite amenities, including satellite TV and air-con. Credit cards are accepted.
Jmc
A godsend for savvy travellers, this maison d'hôtes (B&B) has lots of personality. The rooms are exceedingly neat (some with private bathrooms) and are arranged around a courtyard...
Hôtel Mercure Marhaba
After a much-needed renovation, the Mercure has regained some of its appeal. Think good-sized, well-appointed rooms and bathrooms in good working order but no extravaganza. Extras include a pool. Accepts credit cards.
Auberge Menata
This welcoming auberge is a good place to park your grungy backpack, with cheap but well-tended rooms. Auberge Menata and its shady garden are in a quiet street away from Ave du Général de Gaulle's hubbub...
Auberge La Dune
They're a friendly bunch here, and although the accommodation is nothing to write home about it's still a popular haunt for frugal overlanders. There's a mixed bag of bare rooms, some with private bathrooms, some with air-con - ask to see a few...
Hôtel El Amane
Don't expect a whole lotta lovin' when you're checking in or out - just a central location and an airy patio at the back...
Maison D'hôtes Jeloua
The newest kid on the block, this tidy maison d'hôtes (B&B) is run by helpful Olivia, who also owns Auberge Menata. It's housed in an imposing villa located in a tranquil neighbourhood...
Auberge La Bienvenue

Auberge Du Sahara
Your cordial hosts, Sidi, Hermann and Katia will go the extra yards. Dorms and rooms are plain but functional and shared bathrooms are kept in good nick...
L'escale Des Sables
Find heaven in this B&B-style nest in the Ksar district. Rooms are seductively cosy and a healthy size and the communal areas are embellished with various artistic touches...
Novotel
Feeling posh? Head straight to the Novotel. You can't miss the blinding orange and yellow façade of this four-star monolith on the main drag. Inside it feels pretty slick and the rooms come with all mod-cons...
Hôtel Halima
Sure, the well-run Halima doesn't claim the glitz of its top end competitors (Novotel or the Mercure) but for the price it's a good bet in this bracket, with well-organised rooms, good facilities and a tough-to-beat location. Accepts credit cards.
