establishments.
Hôtel Majestic €
Offline map Google map ( 0535 52 20 35; 19 Ave Mohammed V; s/d Dh159/210, with
shower Dh231/322) Open for business since 1937, the Majestic is one of the best deco
buildings in Meknès. There’s a good mix of rooms (all have sinks), and there’s plenty of
character to go around from the dark-wood dado to the original deco light fittings. A quiet
courtyard, roof terrace and friendly management top things off, making this a hard budget
option to beat.
Hôtel Palace €
Offline map Google map ( 0535 40 04 68; fax 055 40 14 31; 11 Rue Ghana; s/d Dh180/230)Looking very dour from the street, this hotel turns out to be surprisingly good value: large airy
rooms with attached bathrooms, many with balcony. The mezzanine sofas give an extra option
for chilling out. It’s frequently full, so call in advance.
Hôtel Ouislane €

rooms with attached bathrooms. It doesn’t set the world alight, but for the prices it’s reasonable
value.
Hôtel Volubilis €
Offline map Google map ( 0535 52 50 82; Ave des FAR; s/d Dh228/270) This is a reasonable
option, with fair rooms and en-suite bathrooms. Try to avoid the rooms at the front above the
main road, as they can stay pretty noisy throughout the night.
Hôtel Bab Mansour €
Offline map Google map ( 0535 52 52 39; hotel_bab_man sour@menara/ma; 38 Rue EmirAbdelkader; s/d Dh397/521; ) It’s a fine line between tasteful and characterless and, while
comfortable enough, the Bab Mansour never quite seems to develop much of a personality –
the famous bab is depicted in tiles in the bathrooms, but it’s more DIY store than Moroccan
zellij . That said, it’s well run, with everything you’d expect in a tourist-class hotel.
Hôtel Akouas €
Offline map Google map ( 0535 51 59 67; 27 Rue Emir Abdelkader; s/d Dh341/422; ) Thisfriendly, family-run three-star has a little more local colour than its rivals. Rooms, while not
huge, are modern, serviceable and very fairly priced. The place also has a decent restaurant
and a nightclub.
