Casablanca
Hi,
I stayed at Hostal Casablanca for about 10 days and had a great time. The hostel is run by Mike (HUBB member) and his wife Diana – both very friendly & helpful people, including all members of staff.
Free bike parking when you stay in the hostel. Good long term parking as well – I left mine for 30 days/US$50.
Quiet place with a nice atmosphere, all very clean, with double rooms and 4 bed/10 bed dorms (1 dorm room has air-con). Safe residential area. Huge Supermarket 2 blocks, 'Homebase' builders market 2 blocks, cinema 4 blocks,
Hostel has the best-equipped kitchen I've seen in a very long time... (even got a juicer... bring on the smoothies 
Cold/safe drinking water from the fridge dispenser (with built-in ice-machine!), and free coffee all day.
Good bike mechanic next door (guy called Santiago), who's been very helpful and thorough, all for a very good price.
Altogether a really nice spot for a stop-over & highly recommended for longer stays if you want some time off the bike to recharge the 'travel-batteries'.
