Midrange
Hotel Continental
36 rue dar el baroud, tel: 039 93 10 24. this hotel, situated in the medina and within easy reach of the port, is very much in the 'former glory' category, with past guests including degas, churchill, kerouac and friends. definitely spend extra for a nicer room if given the opportunity, it is not a lot extra and the best rooms were absolutely palatial. get one facing the port if you can. it has a really nice terrace out front where you can enjoy mint tea with spectacular views of the harbour. make sure not to confuse it with the intercontinental which is a more modern hotel and not as central. the price of 365-420 dirhams for a double translates to around â¬33-38.
