From Nov-Dec 2015

Updates from last year's post


Marrakech - Gueliz (nr Mac D's)
Hotel Toulousain
Still OK for the Loc convenience. Good breakfast, lots of restos nearby. Great wifi right to the rooms.
250d pp for an old-style en suite (+ 50 for a 2nd person). None en suites also, plus newer suites. No parking.

Ouarzazate south
Hotel du Vallee, Easy to find and not so bad really but now 280d pp, secure bike parking. Heating/a-con rooms. wifi in reception.

Assaragh
Auberge des Etoiles - spacious dar; simple charme rustique, bikes in lock-up

Tazenacht
Hotel Bab Sahara, pizzas, secure courtyard parking, wifi-ish in the cafe.

Tamnougalte
Kasbah Itrane. Now this has a terrace delices

Tizi n’Test
Dar Elmouahidines, blue place on R203 to Tizi n’Test., 30km before pass.
200d hb. Small rooms, can get chilly, but handy.
Destroyed by quake 2023


New places tried, noted or checked out

If you're in the upper Ait Bouguemez valley (south of Azilal) there are several rustic trekkers' gites in the string of villages that make up this commune.

Stopped in to check out the remote Gite de Cathedral, 10km piste from Tillouguite where the tar starts. 200d hb. Rustic as you'd expect but nowhere else for miles. Presumably popular with climbers. Several small 3-bed rooms plus a double and a 4. One bathroom/toilet. Big fireplace that hopefully gets lit in winter.

Fint, 12km SW or Ouarzazate
Terraces des Delices, Pass through a new suburb, turn off and a quick river crossing just before arrival. It's a terrace all right, but not as delices as I expected for the €30 hb in tiny rooms. Stayed again a few years later - switched the price on departure. Won't stay again.

Foum Zguid
Auberge Iriki - signed south end of Foum Zguid, on a side street.
Stayed here years ago but no all-night no barking dogs this time, just surprisingly good wifi if you're close to the cyber next door. 180d hb. Warm welcome, closed courtyard parking and usual good food.

Also asked about Hotel El Fayja by the Afriquia 15km north of FZ - was told 400d ro. Have since stayed here when stranded. Was OK odd place; no one stays here.

Marrakech, north on the N09, opposite the stadium
Le Relais de Marrakech
Lovely haven but I thought a bit expensive @ 35euro for a ropey tent room only. Good resto. I guess it's the easy parking and camping close to Marrakech that must make it popular. A bit of signposting from the north would not hurt and incorrectly positioned on Google maps (link above correct).

Ksar Tissergate - 8km north of Zagora, signed east off the road.
Hotel Kasbah Ziwana
Genuine mud-brick place accessed on foot along the cool tunnels of the part-ruined old kasbah overlooking Oued Draa palmerie. Great terrace lunch. 250d hb. Parking in a plot outside with guardian, but still a bit exposed for baggage bikes. Good option outside Zagora babylon.

Tissint
Kasbah Tissint, signed at the bend north end of town.
Yet another classy but deserted new hotel overlooking the oued. Caught them by surprise for a nice salad lunch, A/c rooms round a pool said to be 250 hb. wifi.
At least one cheapie in the town's main street, also.

Nr Zouweiat Ahansal, 75km SE of Azilal
Dar Ahansal, (1660m). Lovely place with exceptional attention to detail inside and out. 280d hb (but 100d single supplement). Only one there and an odd atmosphere of suspicion developed, especially from the owner. But food was great and not charged for teas and water, as other places of this calibre might do. Dongle wifi. Fire place in room but no firewood so chilly in December. Possibly another kasbah in the village too.

Hello

It was first time for me to be in Morocco without own experiencies so I was on the safe side with accomondations and secure parking and reliability was in priority. The prices are not always low but still I share the experiencies maybe from any reason it can be usefull to someone. Sometimes I made prebooking sometimes improvised.

Asilah – Berbari Maison d Hótes
Guest house located some km’s from Asilah and from the highway on the countryside. Secure parking in the backyard. 2km off road route which can be difficult to ride in case of rain. The service and food was ok but that was my most expensive accomondation 600 DH incl.room, breakfast and dinner. Wifi available the staff was young ladies, they were firendly.

Marrakesh – Le Relais du Marrakesh
Camping which offer also rooms. It has pool also and wifi. 40 Eur incl breakfast. Restaurant offer dinner. The city center 10 min drive from the camping by taxi which runs hourly from the camping (60DH).

Taiouline – Hotel Safran
On the side of the main road. Bike parking in the closed backyard. 25 Eur with breakfast. They can offer dinner which was ok. Firendly staff.

Ait ben Haddou – Kasbah du Jardin
Good place with young friendly staff. Good conversations with them. 350 DH incl. room, breakfast, dinner. Wifi was good in the restaurant. Parking secure in the backyard where they offer also places for campers.

Hassi Labied village just near to Merzouga – Camping Ocean de Dunes
The place I liked the most on my tour. Run by berber brothers and they are friendly and helpfull very much. The camp has basic but clean rooms. Spent two nights there 260DH /night incl room, breakfast, dinner. I had the best food in Morocco here. Located as near as possible to the dunes. Wifi runs well. Hope to be back.

Midelt – Riad Villa Midelt
Off side from city center on a quiet place with parking in the yard. For a biker a bit fancy but in the same time very stylish decoration. 30 Eur with breakfast. Wifi was hectic a bit.

Meknes – Riad dar Zadine
10 min drive from city center (15 DH by taxi). Closed parking place. 400 DH incl breakfast. Arrived a bit late so dinner was not possible. Still lovely place.

Tanger - Camping Miramonte
The camping offers room too for 300 DH. Run by local guys in the name of the owner. This place was quite a mistake. The room was in bad shape. Go there in case of emergency only. The only advantage that near to Tanger Med. For sure with some more research better accomondation can be found with same secure parking.

Hotel Suggestions

My viewpoint on the following various places;

Marrakech
Hotel Toulousain
Hotel Toulousain
300MAD includes breakfast
A good, clean hotel with fast wifi and traditional style rooms. No aircon. Very close to Loc 2 Roues and located near to cafes, bars, Starbucks and a range of shops. Helpful and pleasant staff. Recommended. Motorbike parking not straight forward, unless you can squeeze a bike in the courtyard.

Ouarzazate
Hotel La Vallee
300MAD includes breakfast
Modern hotel with swimming pool, restaurant and wifi. Rooms have aircon. Good traditional food. Bikes can be left behind locked doors under the watchful eye of a guardian. Recommended.

Todra Gorge
Auberge Le Festival
800MAD includes breakfast and dinner
A touch pricey but the rooms are quirky cave style and the location is a treat in the gorge. Very friendly staff and you really can’t go wrong with a stay here. Great location for travelling north or south through the gorge. Limited wifi and no-aircon. Beer available, at a price. I've stayed here a few times now and it's a gem not to be missed. Always seem to be a couple of our groups staying here. Bit or music and banter in the evenings. Recommended

Merzouga
Ksar Bicha
500MAD includes breakfast and dinner
Great location overlooking the dunes. Rooms have aircon and wifi. Hotel has a decent pool, café style bar and restaurant. Plenty of room to leave bikes right outside reception. Helpful and friendly staff. Recommended.

Zagora
Kasbah Sirocco
200MAD including breakfast
A great hotel with modern facilities. Swimming pool, wifi, alcoholic bar, restaurant etc. Clean modern rooms with decent showers. Located just outside the town. Good dinner in the evening at sensible price. Guardian for bikes left at the front overnight.

Tazenacht
Hotel Bab Sahara
100MAD for a room
A rather chaotic hotel right in the centre of town. It’s cheap, and tatty but has a pool, wifi and can provide pizza. Rooms and bathrooms are basic, sheets were dirty and tatty. But hey, it’s cheap as chips and handy for the fantastic trails around the area. Busy social hang out for the locals. Bikes can be left in a locked car park.

Tata
Hôtel La Renaissance
150MAD for the room
Looks good from the outside, but very tired and tatty inside. Rooms are tiny and the bathroom was very basic even for Morocco. Might have been the season, but no food available. Wifi in the lobby. Bikes can be left in locked garage. Bit shabby, other hotels might prove better. I wouldn’t bother again.

Taroudant
Hotel Salama
200MAD for the room
Great hotel in the centre of town. Rooms are clean and modern. Wifi, good showers, café/restaurant with a relaxed feel. Bike parking at the front under the watchful eye of a guardian. Staff very friendly and helpful. Very recommended. Good food and menu wider that the usual suspects. Highly recommended.

Taliouine
Auberge Le Safran
200MAD for the room
A basic hostel style location run on solar power. Rooms are basic and the electricity supply is limited. When meals are being cooked the lights and aircon are switched off. Small pool out of the back. Bikes can be left behind locked doors and a guardian is on duty. Quite a fun place and the staff are good. Food was good traditional fare. Wifi, sort of. Recommended, but don’t take it too seriously and you’ll have a good time.

Rif

I can recommend some great rural places in the Rif mountains. Don't be scared by people trying to sell marihuana. It's not so bad as you may think:

Gite Talassemtane. Situated in the mountains, one hour east of Chefchaouen. Only reachable by piste. Comfortable. 350 DH per person half board, Gite Talassemtane | Decouvrez les montagnes de RIF

Gite Jnanate. In a village near Cala Iris, one hour west from al Hoceima. Simple place, great service. 250 DH per person half board, gitejnanate-ed-gmail.com

Chez Rachid. Bed and Breakfast in Tlatla Ketama. A bit expensive for what you get. But I think you can haggle down the price. 370 DH per person half board, rachidelazouzi-ed-hotmail.com

In Merzouga, i'd suggest Ksar Sarnia / Chez Françoise. It is right beside Ksar Bicha if I remember.
Facing the dunes, w/ pool, great food and independent "cabins"... I stayed there 3 days.

And this dude is a great host. ;-)

Rekkam Boudnib camping is a great site, with an owner who gets you a cold whilst checking in after a hard day on the piste, they do fantastic food and its a nice place to relax and meet the other guests

Prices relate to 2 people 1 motorcycle,
April 2018

TANGIER
Pension Dar Omar Khayam
41€ with breakfast (booked through Booking)
N35° 46' 44.8" W5° 48' 18.3"
Rue Antaki, when on the large beach avenue (Mohammed VI) out of the port, take a right up when you see Marco Polo hotel. Old style pension with en suite little rooms and a lovely courtyard. Wifi. Bike parked on a little patio with a gate. Tip for the gardien.
100m up on the corner there’s a popular restaurant, Romeo, where you can eat extraordinary grilled fish.

TANGIER
Hôtel de Paris
320MAD with breakfast
N35° 46' 48.6" W5° 48' 36.8"
On Boulevard Pasteur. Ideal if you want to be near the center but not in the medina. A classic, central 1929 small hotel. Large rooms with bathroom. Friendly staff. The rooms on the street side can be noisy, lots of traffic on a saturday night! There’s an underground park (30mad) not far, next to the Rembrandt Hotel.
Look for Bashir restaurant, another popular and cheap place full of moroccan families, 2 streets away on the back of the hotel.

CHEFCHAOUEN
Dar Bleu Pearl
225MAD + 50MAD for breakfast
N35° 10' 06.6" W5° 15' 51.7"
Cheap option in the medina. Very good location with very nice staff, small rooms (our with bathroom, great shower). Nice Breakfast on the roof with medina views. Wifi. Parked the moto outside the medina in a underground, near Hotel Madrid. (2MAD / hour). But the next day I rode the bike into the medina to pack the bags

FEZ
Hotel Batha
525MAD with breakfast
N34° 03' 37.2" W4° 58' 55.1"
Confortable option in Fez, right next to Batha Museum, near Bab Boujloud, main access to the medina. Beers and wine at the bar. No Wifi in the room. Large rooms en-suite, with balcony. Underground park at 100m at the roundabout 30MAD / night. Not the cheapest option, but a safe bet.

ZAOUIAT CHEIKH
Hotel Ennajah
150MAD
N32° 38' 36.1" W5° 54' 55.8"
The only place we slept in our sleeping bags on a bed! An option when it’s raining at night and you are tired and starving… it’s a roadside restaurant where you can also sleep upstairs. My gf still talks to me, even though she got sick eating a tagine there. Shared bathroom. No hot water, no shower that day

MARRAKECH
Riad le Marrocain
390MAD with breakfast
N31° 37' 02.1" W7° 58' 52.4”
A 10 min walk south of Jemaa el Fna, near the Berrima mosque. El Badi Palace not far. Simple quiet place with wifi and en-suite rooms. There’s a walled, guarded, park nearby. The maps.me/osm waypoint is wrong, possible to ride up to the door. If in the same area, next time I will try Dar Loula

DEMNATE
Hotel Marrakech
200MAD
N31° 43' 58.4" W7° 00' 17.5"
The only place we could find in town. Simple, basic, but very clean little place. Shared bathroom. The owner has a garage next to the hotel, he didn’t charge anything for the bike.

ZOUWEIAT AHANSAL
Dar Ahansal
560MAD hb
N31° 50' 47.2" W6° 06' 46.3"
“Lovely place with exceptional attention to detail inside and out” It’s just like Chris Scott wrote, a lovely place with great food, and great shower in a beautiful en-suite room. One of the best stay oa the all trip. Wifi only works in the reception / dinner and breakfast area. Very nice staff, no “suspicion atmosphere”, just a noisy big groups of spaniards spoiling the peaceful atmosphere. There’s a new place right next to it: Kasbah Amezay


TAROUDANT
Camping Le Jardin
60MAD
N30° 28' 37.2" W8° 50' 38.5"
Quiet walled camping, with not that many shady spots. Very clean toilets, wifi near the reception. 4km from city center.

TAFRAOUTE
Camping Tazka
51MAD
N29° 42' 55.2" W8° 59' 10.6"
Again, not many shady spots, with a wall around. There are 2 other campings, closer to town. We chose this one because there were less RV’s. Wifi near the reception, there’s a little bar / resto.

ICHT
Borj Biramane
330MAD
(600MAD hb)
N29° 03' 33.0" W8° 51' 07.3"
French run place, kind of a compound with various accommodation options: camping, berber tents, en-suite rooms, shared bathroom rooms (this one was our coice, too windy for camping that night, a spacious mud brick style small house) Very nice dinner (and wine!), breakfast, and a very clean place. Wifi.

TATA
Camping Hayat
50MAD
N29° 44' 18.7" W7° 58' 39.8"
Nice camping place on the other side of the river, with shady areas, wifi, clean toilets, a little bar/restaurant where you can order meals. You don’t feel like you are in a square with walls around like the Camping Municipal in town, a concrete small cube. Nice views of the river.

OUARZAZATE
Hotel Palmeraie
310MAD
N30° 55' 31.2" W6° 54' 36.2”
Old style hotel with park. The clean en-suite clean rooms are in rows of 1 storey houses within a garden like space. We didn’t take breakfast but there’s a vintage decorated bar where you can drink . Wifi works in the rooms.

TIMIDARTE
Kasbah Timidarte
500MAD hb
N30° 40' 57.3" W6° 17' 54.6"
Japan meets nordic meets moroccan adobe minimal and frugal style Kasbah. Beautiful experience! Very nice staff, en-suite simple room, delicious dinner, nice breakfast in a flowery patio, beautiful sunset on the terrace! This place is in a half ruined Kasbah, where you can walk around and explore right in an oasis in the Draa, where you can stroll without kids asking you for money, or people hassling. Just walk around and observe people just doing what they do. Wifi. Bike parked in.

N’KOB
Camping Ouadjou
200MAD
N30° 52' 05.5" W5° 52' 05.5”
A walled space, nothing special. We slept in a berber tent, a very pricey one!


BOU THARAR (valley of roses)
Kasbah Chems
400MAD hb
N31° 23' 00.7" W6° 07' 55.0”
Own by a half belgium half moroccan couple, it’s a lovely place! Small but lovely en-suite rooms, with views on the valley. A nice closed large balcony for meals also with a view. Good dinner and breakfast. Very nice staff. They organize trekking routes and the guide was very helpful, giving us informations on the MH19 piste conditions.

MSEMRIR
Hotel Agdal
220MAD with breakfast
N31° 41' 44.2" W5° 49' 10.1"
Nice place. Simple, basic, but clean. There are rooms en-suite or with shared bathroom. Same price. The owner has a garage in the some building, he didn’t charge anything for the bike. There’s a good restaurant next to it, owned by a helpful guy, who also owns the auberge La Valle des Nomads, on the southwest of Msemrir, which was closed due some construction works.


TINGHIR
Todra hotel
260MAD
N31° 31' 14.7" W5° 31' 53.4”
Rough Guide: “Open since 1935, this place has seen better days, and is in need of some TLC.”
This may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it was one of our favorite places. Like if you’ve been placed in a Paul Bowles novel set, with a vintage ambiance. En-suite large room with the sound of the nearby souk, in a reddish purple retro style hotel room decoration. The lobby has a large old moroccan map painted on the wall, and upstairs there’s an unused dusty bar and a large dinning room all set for a dinner, it looks like since the thirties and that may never happen. We stayed 2 nights. Bike parked in the hotel.


ERG CHEBBI
Camping Haven le Chance
50MAD (+ 60MAD for breakfast)
N31° 08' 03.4" W4° 01' 03.4”
You can camp (we did) or stay in rooms. You can use the swimming pool and have dinner (100MAD / person) and breakfast or not. You are next to the dunes. Really. Very nice, relaxed place. No hassle. Nobody asked us if we wanted to ride camels into the sunset, or sleep on dunes camp overnight.
There’s no luxury, but for the price of camping, a really and deserved luxury for us. And we walked on the dunes on the sunset.

Imilchil - Auberge Almou

if you go to Imilchil, go to Auberge Almou, the onwer and manager Hamid is a very nice and helpful guy. Refused to let me pay for tea and coffee I ordered while staying there. Reasonable price. Clean place.

Across the street there is a garage he owns where my bike spends the night. Also, across is a motorcycle mechanic who workes on Chinese, japanese and french bikes but is knowledgeable about stuff. I had some issues on my bmw he was able to help.

When you drive to Imilchil drive all the way untill you reach the other end of the village and the hotel will be there on your right hand.

Si vous allez à Imilchil allez voir Auberge Almou, le proprio Hamid est tres sympa et serviable. Il refusé de me laisser payer pour le thé et le café que j’avais commandé. Prix raisonable. Lieu bien propre.

De l’autre côté de la rue il y a un garage qui lui appartient ou ma moto passe la nuit. Il y a aussi un mécano moto qui travaille sur les petites motos chinoises japonaises et françaises. Mais il est connaisseur, il a pu m’aider un avec un problème sur ma bm.

Pour trouver l auberge conduire a travers le village jusqu’a atteindre l’autre bout du village et vous le trouverez a votre droite.

Riad malak - fez

If you are in Fez, I will recommend you “Riad Malak” in Fes was easily our favorite riad among the ones we stayed in while visiting Morocco! Our room was bigger than most of the ones we saw at our price point in Morocco, and had the added bonus of air conditioning–after finishing our 3 day/2 night tour into the Sahara, that was a very welcome change of pace!
And the best thing for me is that Free WIFI is available in this place.

An update regarding Rekkam in Boudnib, it’s still here and Francois and his wife/partner & new baby boy are superb hosts.

We arrived quite late last night after calling 1st (11.30pm ) after a unplanned trip down the Piste de col de Belkasum which caught us off guard and Francois stayed up to great us.

Today is an unplanned field repair to the Landy’s manifold and we’ve been given an area to use, served tea and invited to dinner this evening with the only other guests on site.

Hot showers, clean toilets and huts to sleep in ( we take comfort when it’s offered! )

Campsites

I can confirm that both campsites in Moulay Bousselham have closed permanently. They’ve been run into the ground over recent years.

Camping Echrigui in Asilah is hanging on. Great location but needs money spending on the sanitaires and a general tidy up. Have given the guardian the phone numbers for Nick Knowles and Charlie Dimmock.

Happy trails,

Peter

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
