In-Depth Information
Sleeping
Taza has only a handful of hotels, and the amount of business they do can be gauged by
the general readiness there is to offer discounts of up to 25% if you stay more than a night.
Hôtel de l'Étoile
( 0535 27 01 79; 39 Ave Moulay el-Hassan; s/d Dh40/60)
This Spanish-owned cheapie next to Pl
Aharrach is easy to miss (the sign is hidden under the arcaded front), but inside, the
strawberry-pink paint job is hard to escape. Friendly enough, it's as basic as the tariff sug-
gests - rooms are fine for the money, with shared toilets. All have sinks and there are new
showers with constant hot water (Dh10).

Grand Hôtel du Dauphiné
( 0535 67 35 67; Pl de l'Indépendance; s/d Dh185/290)
Ideally located on the main square, the
Dauphiné is good value in the budget category. Rooms are hardly exciting, but most are
generously sized, and those at the front have small balconies. On the ground floor there's
a bar and restaurant (dinner only).
Hôtel La Tour Eiffel
( 0535 67 15 62; tourazhar@hotmail.com; Blvd Bir Anzarane; s/d incl breakfast Dh347/424; )
Stuck on the road out of town, the Tour Eiffel is named for its high aspirations. Past the
cramped lobby, a lift swishes you up to well-sized and fairly comfy rooms, many with
great views out towards the mountains. The house restaurant has good juices and is noted
for its seafood.

Eating & Drinking
There aren't really any restaurants in the medina, just snack stalls selling kebabs and the
like, although there is plenty of fresh produce in the souqs. In the ville nouvelle, the street
souq just off Pl de l'Indépendance also has produce and lots of tasty snack stands that
really come to life in the evening. Ave Mohammed V is well supplied for grocery stores.
If you're waiting for onward transport and are in need of sustenance, there's a row of fast-
food places where the buses stop on the Fez-Oujda road (Blvd Bir Anzarane).
