1st August 2018 – Wyles Walkabout

This is a directory of the places of where I stayed in Morocco with links to the hotels website if you are interested in taking a look. The hotels that don’t have a website can be found through the usual travel booking websites such as Expedia etc. There is a map showing where I travelled to in Morocco below the list of hotels and riads.

In general, all of the hotels were in a decent central location near to the major sites, were clean, quiet, comfortable, had free decent WiFi (mostly) and worth the money paid. In my opinion, the riads though were more ‘authentic’ and actually felt more Moroccan than most of the hotels and if you come to Morocco, I would encourage you to stay in a Riad not only because they are beautiful, the hospitality and welcome is genuine and not experienced in any hotel.

Breakfasts served in all of them were a good continental style with fresh fruits, juice, breads, pastries and eggs, but sometimes the coffee was questionable. Some evening meals, although good, became a little repetitive with meat or vegetable tajines and cous cous on offer so it made a nice alternative to eat out or visit a local shop to buy some snacks (bread, cheese, tomatoes etc.) and eat in the hotel’s lobby.

Morocco being a Muslim country, alcohol is not freely available in every restaurant or hotel, but is available to buy in ‘secret’ bottle shops or in a separate section of a Carrefour supermarket. Just be sure to check with the hotel if they allow you to drink it on their premises first.
