Suites Hotel Mohammed V €€€
Offline map Google map ( 0539 98 22 33; fax 039 983314; Pl Mohammed VI; ste Dh2200-
5000; ) Al-Hoceima’s top option, this hotel has undergone a complete overhaul.
Ultramodern and pretty characterless, it occupies a prime position perched above Plage
Quemado. Rooms are spacious and comfortable and come with balconies giving lovely views
over the bay. There’s a restaurant, bar and gym to complete the picture.
La Perla €€
( 0539 98 45 13; [email protected]; Ave Tariq ibn Zaid; s/d Dh650/750; ) This
modern mirrored-glass high-rise business hotel has comfortable, if bland, rooms with satellite
TV and large bathrooms. The tiled floors, thin walls and location on a busy corner make it quite
noisy. There’s a cafe on the ground floor and a restaurant upstairs.
Hotel Rif €
( 0539 98 22 68; 13 Calle Sultan Moulay Youssef; s/d/tr Dh97/170/225, hot shower Dh10) If
your budget is really maxed-out, you’ll end up in this long hallway lined with simple rooms.
Bathrooms with squat toilets are shared, but you do get your own sink. Keep your door locked:
the staff sleeps during the day.
Eating
Cheap restaurants cluster around Place du Rif, serving up filling tajines, brochettes and a bit of
seafood to the bus-station crowd from about Dh25 per head. There are also many snack shops
around town.
Club Nautique €€
(Gate 2, Port d’Al-Hoceima; mains Dh60-120; lunch & dinner) This is the main
restaurant at the port, and a good one. After 6pm, buy your fish fresh off the boat and have
them grill it for you. The 2nd floor overlooks the whole port and is a great place to relax and a
have a beer.
Espace Miramar €
Offline map Google map (Rue Moulay Ismail; mains from Dh35; lunch & dinner) It’s hard to go
wrong at this 5000-sq-m complex with a pizzeria, two cafes, a grill and restaurant as well as a
children’s playground, all of it perched on the cliffs overlooking the sea, and with occasional live
music as well. The nice view is marred by the strip-mined hill and the port opposite, but this is
the place to start.
