Must-see hotels in Morocco

  • Hôtel Safa

    Sidi Ifni

    Neat and tidy, this hotel is a serviceable option just south of the old colonial district. Rooms are basic, but balconies offer a sliver of sea view and…

  • Maison Tigmi Ozro

    Tafraoute

    Just up the road from central Tafraoute, this is a homely option: the bloc of rooms is just across the courtyard from the family home of the English…

  • Hôtel Erraha

    Dakhla

    The Erraha’s spacious rooms are decorated in a chintzy fashion you might associate with a matronly relative, and the space adjoins a mosque that draws the…

  • Hôtel de l’Étoile

    Middle Atlas

    This cheapie on the cusp of Place Aharrach is easy to miss (the sign is hidden under the arcaded front), but inside the strawberry-pink paint job is hard…

  • La Dune

    Souss-Massa National Park

    La Dune has basic two- and four-person Amazigh (Berber) tents, a pleasantly cool tented restaurant (dinner Dh70) and African-themed, occasionally garish…

  • Hôtel Parador

    Western Sahara

    This survivor from Spanish days, built in hacienda style around gardens and a pretty fountain, has a faintly colonial bar and a decent restaurant. The…

  • Hôtel Rif

    Meknes

    The Rif is typically full with tour groups and doesn't fully live up to its four-star label. Decor is a somewhat haphazard combo of modernist exterior,…

  • Hôtel Mounia

    Ville Nouvelle

    A colourful tiled lobby guides you into this modern hotel that’s popular with tour groups. Rooms are bright, with some eye-popping modern Moroccan colour…

  • Hôtel Tiznit

    Tiznit

    Set in leafy grounds with a large pool, Tiznit is a little retro, with ashtrays outside each room and pink frilly upholstery. Rooms are reasonably…

  • Hotel Cannes

    Erfoud

    Cheap, clean, central, sometimes noisy, rooms sporting what appear to be swirling, finger-painted walls done in faded pastel colours. Breakfast is an…

  • Hôtel Nagjir

    Western Sahara

    Beyond its grand reception in mosaic tile, the four-star Nagjir has a restaurant and scruffy rooms. If you're in a kitsch mood there is also a suite with…

  • Hôtel Beau-Séjour

    Azrou

    Walls draped in Berber carpets (all for sale) welcome you into the 1st-floor reception of this decent budget option. Rooms are clean and simple, and a…

  • Hotel Tarfaya

    Southern Morocco & Western Sahara

    Available with or without balcony and private bathroom, the Tarfaya's 35 basic rooms feature checkered bedding, satellite TV and sea views from the upper…

  • Hotel de Paris

    Tangier

    This hotel in the heart of the Ville Nouvelle has a classy, old-world aura in its lobby, but its rooms are in dire need of an update. Rooms are extremely…

  • Hôtel Riad Asfi

    Safi

    The name is deceptive, as this place opposite the Qasr Al Bahr is an unattractive business hotel rather than a converted riad. But it's easy to find and…

  • Hôtel Bab Mansour

    Meknes

    The Bab Mansour is a fairly generic midrange hotel that seems to be going to seed. That said, it’s very convenient to the train station, and it has…

  • Hotel Les Tilleuls

    Ifrane

    The cheapest hotel in Ifrane has been welcoming guests since 1935. The entrance and bar as well as two floors of rooms have been renovated, but there's…

  • Hôtel La Renaissance

    Anti Atlas Mountains

    This central stalwart with palmeraie (palm grove) views has small but spotless rooms and a pleasant lounge and breakfast terrace. The only downsides are…

  • Hôtel Central

    Ville Nouvelle

    Rooms at this budget place were being redone in 2019. Most rooms have bathrooms, but even those without a shower have their own sinks. Many rooms come…

  • Hôtel Ijdiguen

    Southern Morocco & Western Sahara

    Conveniently across the road from the grand-taxi station, Ijdiguen (Ichdigen) is clean and welcoming, with tiled corridors, reasonable rooms and shared…

  • Hotel Hay Essalam

    Larache

    The best of Larache's low-budget accommodation options, this simple place offers a variety of room types; some have basic bathrooms and air-con, others…

  • Hôtel Sijilmassa

    Ziz Valley & the Tafilalt

    Located near the bus and grand taxi station (useful for late or early arrivals), Hôtel Sijilmassa has clean, air-conditioned rooms with cramped en suites,…

  • Auberge des Gorges du Dadès

    Dadès Gorge

    The Auberge has 30 rooms plastered in Moroccan motifs: rammed-earth designs in one wing, ornate stucco and eye-catching tiles in another. Some have…

  • Hôtel Sahara

    Dakhla

    The Sahara's dingy rooms have little balconies overlooking men milling about and sitting in cafes (women will attract a lot of attention here). The basic…

  • Hôtel Petite Suède

    Agadir

    Located five minutes' walk uphill from the beach, the Petite Suède is a serviceable budget option if ocean proximity matters. Rooms are clean, if…

  • Hôtel Bir Anzarane

    Southern Morocco & Western Sahara

    This worn but clean place, on the west side of the river, features small rooms with shared bathrooms. Its location next to the royal palace means that…

  • Casa Mar

    Southern Morocco & Western Sahara

    Above the eponymous restaurant, which can get rather jolly of an evening, the Casa Mar offers predictably basic rooms with views over the port (breakfast…

  • Zubeida's House

    Sefrou

    This pretty garden with trees and a fountain is home to three pleasant rooms. One of them is upstairs, with a bathroom on the ground floor. Zubeida will…

  • Hôtel Jodesa

    Western Sahara

    Behind its dilapidated two-tone facade and a cafe full of loitering men, this central cheapie has basic but reasonably spacious rooms. If you're a light…

  • Hôtel Restaurant Bougafer

    Midelt

    This is a clean, modern option in a central location with the added benefit of a restaurant on the ground floor (mains from Dh70). Cheaper rooms have…

  • Hôtel Astrid

    Casablanca

    Though it's in need of a revamp, this dated budget option is worth considering as it's clean, offers good wi-fi and the staff are helpful. Cash only;…

  • Hôtel Adil Moussafir

    Southern Morocco & Western Sahara

    One of Goulimime’s more business-like options, the Adil Moussafir has a restaurant (mains Dh70) and spacious, slightly tired rooms.

  • Municipal Campsite

    Anti Atlas Mountains

    Next to the dry river, with a reasonable ablutions block that has flush toilets. It's the only option in town for DIY campers.

  • Camping Municipal

    Tiznit

    The municipal campground, next to the old walls, is a serviceable choice if you're doing DIY accomms. Don't expect atmosphere.

  • Pension Amal

    Larache

    This little pension off pedestrianised Ave Mohammed Ben Abdallah offers clean but spartan tiled rooms.
