Signposted from
all over town, Saadiens has aged but spacious rooms with reasonable en-suite bathrooms,
stripy bedspreads and Berber designs on the doors. Despite the gloomy, echoing corridors,
it is a central retreat from the medina, with a 1st-floor lounge and mountain views from
the roof terrace. Ave du 20 Août is a thoroughfare, so ask for a room at the rear. Half-
board is available.

In this central option, tiled
corridors lead past a restaurant and jungly courtyard to rooms with simple bathrooms. The
drawbacks are the noise from Pl al-Alaouyine and the popular courtyard bar, which may
