Hotels
Hotel Classification 

Hotels in Morocco are distinguished between those that are classified by the Moroccan tourist board and those that aren’t. As in most countries, the government’s hotel-rating system means that establishments are awarded stars for the presence of certain facilities — pool, restaurant, elevator, and so on — more than for standards of service and luxury. Thus, it is not always true that the accommodations with the most stars are necessarily the most comfortable or atmospheric. In Morocco, it’s best not to rely too much on the star system (overrated), as inspections of classified hotels are erratic, and regardless of their star rating, hotels can charge whatever they wish.

Unclassified hotels tend to be inexpensive places, usually with communal showers and toilets, few facilities, and in the cities are often located within the medina. Other unclassified hotels, such as those in central and southern Morocco, often offer mattresses on their roof terraces or under large Berber tents, and can be a bargain for budget travelers. Classified hotels in the cities are usually found in the ville nouvelle, and although most lack any great character with mainly Western-style rooms, they do offer value for money. During the cold winter and hot summer, these hotels — usually in the moderate price bracket and upward — come into their own, offering rooms with reverse-cycle air-conditioning and showers with a good supply of hot and cold water. Some hotels offer half board (demi pension, meaning breakfast and dinner are included), which can be a good deal, especially in the more isolated areas where there aren’t too many alternative dining options.

Our guide and driver met all of our needs and were quite responsive to any last minute requests. Some highlights of our trip included visiting the ancient Roman city of Volubilis since our son is a fan of history, and the sights of the streets of Fez and the Medina of Marrakech were stunning. The guide Mohtar was super informative and friendly and always did his best to support our needs. (Sometimes he spent too much time in shopping area.) It has been a smooth experience from start to finish. Highly recommended!!

Best of Morocco with Eskapas was good from beginning to end. We had a small group of 9 people, a cultivated guide and a very good driver. The minivan was comfortable. Everything was really well organized. Our guide Mohtar was more than willing to go above and beyond to meet everyone’s needs. He was very knowledgeable about the area and knew where to dine or shop. The hotel quality in the cities was OK but in rural area was mediocre. The food is also similar or you taste always the same spices in every meals. Morocco is a stunning country with breathtaking scenery.

I recently went on the Discovery of Morocco tour and it was an amazing journey through this beautiful country. Our tour started in Casablanca and took us to a variety of destinations including Marrakech, Fez, and the Sahara Desert. Our guide, Hassan, was a wealth of knowledge and really helped us to understand the culture and history of each place we visited. He was also great at organizing all of the logistics, including our hotel accommodations and meals. One of the highlights of the trip was visiting the medina in Marrakech, where we were able to try a variety of traditional Moroccan dishes and shop for handmade crafts. The Fez medina was also a must-see, with its narrow streets and impressive architecture. But the real highlight of the tour was our visit to the Sahara Desert. We took a camel ride through the dunes and watched the sunset over the vast expanse of sand. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Overall, I highly recommend the Discovery of Morocco tour for anyone looking to experience the beauty and culture of Morocco. It was an unforgettable trip and I can’t wait to go back someday.
