Al Hoceima hotels and hostels
Hotel Etoile Du Rif
This curvaceous art-deco hotel, an island in the Place du Rif, has hardly changed since 1920, and is undoubtedly the local bargain. Spotless rooms have bathrooms and satellite TV, and most have a balcony too.
Hotel Al Khouzama
Just off Blvd Mohammed V, this three-star hotel is a long-time favourite for business travellers, and is suitably comfortable, with spacious rooms (though those facing away from the street are a bit dark).
Hotel Al Hana
At the lower end of this price range, this simple hotel is tucked into the tiny streets east of Place du Rif. All facilities are shared, including the clean squat toilets (hot showers cost Dh10). It’s well kept, but insects like the kitchen.
Hotel Maghreb Jadid
This is a reliable standby if the other hotels in this price range are booked. Rooms are spacious, and most have enclosed balconies, but the lack of any division between shower and toilet is a step down.
Hotel Rif
If your budget is really maxed-out, you’ll end up in this long hallway lined with simple rooms. Bathrooms are shared, with cold showers and squat toilets, but you do get your own sink. Keep your door locked: the staff sleeps during the day.
La Perla
This modern mirrored-glass high-rise luxury hotel was on the verge of opening during research. Expect three or four stars.
