Hôtel al-Maghrib al-Jadid
( 0537 73 22 07; 2 Rue Sebbahi; s/d Dh80/120)
Although the rooms at this hotel are fairly
small and spartan, they are pristinely clean, with shuttered windows that let in lots of
light. You'll either love or hate the shocking-pink walls but it's all part of the rather quirky
character of this place. Hot showers are Dh10.
