The former Hôtel Oudayas was totally renovated and is now a good-value boutique hotel in a quiet street in a central, but more residential, part of town.
Recognisable from the blue door at the end of the main street of the kasbah, this most delightful guest house has superb views over the estuary and Salé.
The grand dame of Rabat hotels is not as grand as she used to be but still offers newly decorated and comfortable en-suite rooms, all immacutely kept and with great views over the city.
Tucked away down an alleyway in the medina, this gorgeous guest house is a real hidden gem. The rooms around a spectacular courtyard are tastefully decorated with a blend of Moroccan style and Western comfort.
Another excellent option, though not as palatial as it sounds. This modern place has smallish rooms with sleek, new furniture and fittings – if not a lot of character.
Set in the heart of the kasbah away from the hubbub of the city, this sublimely peaceful guest house is a sister property to the Riad Oudaya.
Although the rooms at this hotel are fairly small and spartan, they are pristinely clean, and have shuttered windows that let in lots of light.
This four-star hotel is a step up from the other options in this price range and offers small but extremely comfortable nonsmoking rooms with tasteful (albeit very 1970s) modern decor, now back in fashion.
This grand 18th-century merchant’s house has been transformed into a sumptuous hotel with just eight rooms in traditional Moroccan style.
Immaculately kept, very friendly and keenly priced, this family-run hotel is the best of the medina options. The simple rooms are bright and tidy and surround a central courtyard on the 1st floor above the Banque Populaire.
Slap-bang in the heart of the medina, the spacious, bright rooms with high ceilings, big windows, cheerful colours and simple wooden furniture are set around a pleasant courtyard.
Strong on traditional Moroccan style and popular with local business travellers, the public areas of this seemingly elegant hotel are all marble floors, zellij and leather furniture.
Right by the train station and handy for late arrivals, this friendly hotel has 30 bright, comfortable rooms decorated with faded and curling tourist-board posters. All rooms are en suite and have TVs and telephones.
Big rooms with high ceilings and shuttered windows give an illusion of colonial-era grandeur at this once-charming hotel. The rooms are now a little faded and the bathrooms, though clean, could do with an overhaul.
Centred around a bright, traditional courtyard, this 48-bed youth hostel has plenty of rustic character but pretty basic facilities. The dorms are dark and dingy and the toilets are pretty grotty. Hot water is intermittent.
Hotel Marrakech is a budget option. Although the rooms at this hotel are fairly small and spartan they are pristinely clean, and have shuttered windows that let in lots of light
