Back from Morocco (page 7 of 16)

Absolutely, 2 nights in the same place is the minimum, unless you're just passing through. Sometimes that's the case—you just want to break the journey in half.

The best thing is still not to book your accommodations in advance and to see day by day what you want to do. It sometimes depends on what time you arrive in the evening.

But of course, Morocco has plenty of hostels, so you won’t risk sleeping in the car. No need to worry at all.

We’ll follow your advice. Thanks!

Travelers who are used to getting around Morocco don’t book their nights—or at most, the day before for the next day—but first-time visitors worry about not finding a place to stay. That’s just how it usually goes.

We’re planning our first trip. We’re a bit nervous about leaving without any bookings. But if everyone says it’s possible...

Hi there! Yes, you should definitely travel without reservations—it lets you stay where you feel good and leave if you don’t like it! Morocco has an oversupply of hotels, so there’s space everywhere on the classic routes. The only exception is the Atlantic coast from mid-June to the end of August.

You're probably right. Thanks.

The only place where I found myself completely stuck (in several years of traveling in Morocco) was the small town of Tata. A rally had booked all the rooms in the two hotels. Like others, for a first trip, I’d say not to worry. Have a great day, Hannah.

And in Marrakech. I always book for my arrival. One year, at Easter, there were no more rooms available at the Hôtel Toulousain, where I usually stay when I arrive.

Just like you, MRK, I book if I arrive late in the evening. Another place I love is L'Arganier in Tafraout—I know I’ll always find a place to stay there, but it’s a spot I enjoy staying in, so in that case, I book.

In Marrakech, it's clear that booking ahead is best. Which hotel would you recommend? Reasonable prices, a good location for sightseeing, and of course, clean. Thanks.

I've had my habits at Toulousain for many years now. It's quiet, simple but clean. Breakfast in the patio is a really nice moment. It's easy to access since it's not in the medina.

Like Daniel, the Toulousain.

Any idea of the prices, please? Thanks in advance

Last time I paid 22 €, before the renovation I was paying 15 € (single price).

thanks Hannah

It all depends on the room. You can find double rooms starting at 240 MAD, breakfast included. Check their website.

Last time, the downstairs room on the patio was renovated. For a single room at 22 €, I thought the prices had really gone up. Still, I recommend it because it's very well located and pleasant.

Mid-December, the rooms on the right side of the patio, with shared toilet and shower, were 150 € for a single and 220 € for a double B&B. Given the quality of the renovated rooms, there's no reason to be upset about the price increase.
