Has this place closed down already? Link no longer works and their website won't accept booking enquiries. Pity. Could have been useful!

'warden': Don't think so, there's an entry on iOverlander from the end of last year about a hotel in the port complex

'mike giles': It's alive on booking.com.....Onomo one...

Nov2019 Maroc-Maur-Senegal Trip R.E. Himalayan

Selouane, Taourirt Boucetta. Chambre Yasmin...Ferry from Motril-Nador (great way to cross) late arriving so I'd booked this room in Mohammed's house online. Clean, attached toilet. expensive at 30€ but the family was friendly and I needed an easy place.

Figuig. Hotel El Malyas, cheap because hotel under renovation. Basic, bucket water in toilet/shower down the hall. Rough.

Bouarfa. Hotel El Ain Zerga, Very friendly lady boss gave me free tea and msemn, just cos she was nice. Clean, cheap, toilet in hallway. Nice.

Er Rich. Hotel Isli.Because my favourite hotel was getting fixed up. Cheap. Inside bog. So-so.

Alnif hotel La Gazelle du Sud. Clean, busy caff on ground floor w everyone watching the football. Room smart as new-ish but not well cleaned.

Ouarzazate Hotel Amsterdam. Smart, modern, friendly, with use of next door garage for the bike. Big town hotel not my usual cheapo but I'd had three nights camping so it was good. 250dh bnb.

Taluouine. Hotel Kasba. 40dh, smelt of mutton, a primitive small box to sleep in but attached caff friendly and guy gave me fresh starched sheers to protect me from the rest of the bed.

Tafraoute. Hotel Tifaouine, v nice stylish place. I haggled a good price. The room was freezing but had a clever aircon which refigerated the outdoors to heat the room, which worked fine. Attached posh toilet drains smelled and flushing and stuffing orifices with wet bogpaper failed to contain smell. Posh, good value. Bike in courtyard overnight.

Sidi Ifni. Hotel Bellevue. Ok. Good value. Nice breakfast. Clean and quiet and no yoof backpackers.

El Ouatia or Tan-Tan plage. Hotel Marin, grubby dive, smelly.

Tarfaya. Hotel Casamar clean, new very empty and a local acquired me a room for 50dh. Characterless but friendly enough.

Boujdour. Hotel Taiba 150dh, ok, clean. Smartass kid demanded money for having looked after my bike all night which he hadn't so I told him to ram it.

Dakhla. Hotel Erraha, huge suite for 200dh but awful banging noise for ages as work ongoing next door. Clean and empty. Bike in garage overnight.

Bir Gandouz Hotel Petrol Station, not the nice looking one everyone else goes to. It was ok, cheap. Toilet in hall, real hot water in shower.

Down to Senegal and back again.

Looked for place just over the border into Maroc. Got bogged down in soft sand then noticed signs warning of LAND MINES...after about an hour managed to get the bike vertical again, by digging mini trenches for the wheels to fall into, then out without any detonations....very happy to get to ...
Bir Gandouz Hotel Petrol Station again, late arriving so room grub and more expensive, but shower still hot.

Dakhla. Hotel Playa Imperial. Excellent, clean and cheap and friendly. Bike on the street nearby but not a rough area. No probs.

Boujdour Hotel El Qods. Basic. Nice guy. Spoke some English. 70dh. Shared bog but clean.

Tarfaya. Got 50dh room in Hotel Casamar, as before, good place.

Guelmim. I liked this town, nice to get back to mountains of Maroc again Hotel El Qods, popular, clean, cheap. 60dh.

Imi n tanoute. Hotel Amane another basic cheapo, cold place. Room clean. Good caff under hotel. Friendly. Bike behind bars overnight. 40dh.

Mohammedia. Hotel Fedala - what a place, lovely oldy-styly over-the-top with antiques all over the place. big, popular w Moroccans because it's stylish. Friendly reception and very correct snooty waiters. 400dh.

Nador Ferry, air mattress on the floor, in my four seasons sleeping bag, no hassle from ferry staff, slept well until Spanish coast in sight at Motril, well rested. There's something to be said for a long slow ferry crossing on a nearly empty ferry.

Not camping but I’ve twice stayed at Riad Ibn Khaldoun [Fes] and used the nearby staffed car park.
All good.

If you're ever passing through Foum Sguid, Hotel Bab Rimal is a nice option.

Amezrou, route de Zagora, Foum Zguid 84500, Morocco

+212 661-555369
http://www.babrimal.com/

In April 2022, I paid £48 Bed and Brekfast which was a buffet, so I was able to drink as much coffee as I wanted and load up with fruit for lunch as well.

I had ridden all the way from Marrakech so wanted somewhere nice to stay before I headed onto the Lac Iriqi & Erg Chegga pistes.

The hotel is made up of mumerous earthen huts and cabins which could probably host 100 people.

The owner, Bari has a SWM 250 that he rides the pistes with so has good local knowledge. His brother runs a camp in the Erg and offers a discount for overnight stays if you have a light enough moto to make it through the miles of sand/fesh fesh.

The hotel has a large secure car park although, I'm not sure if it guarded but all vehicles are out of sight from the road.

Dinner was extra but was probably the best I've had outside Chefchaouen. No , probably because it was during Ramadan, also had to wait for the staff to eat first...

Lovely large swimming pool, sunrise & sunsets due to the east/west nature of the valley.

Hotel was quiet with only a few french tourists staying one night.

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.
