Guide: Marrakech, Casablanca, Rabat & Tangier​​

For our ​​public transport-friendly trip​​, we prioritized ​​train access + safety​​ in each city. Here’s the lowdown on where we stayed—from ​​budget gems​​ to ​​surprise upgrades​​! ​​1️⃣ Marrakech: Hotel Ibn Batouta (New Town)​​ 📍 ​​Why?​​ Safe, walkable, and ​​Chinese food nearby​​! 💰 ​​€62/night​​ ✔ ​​Pros​​: ​​24/7 parking attendants​​ (we returned past 11PM as two girls, no issues). ​​Breakfast buffet​​ with fresh pastries. ​​10-min walk​​ to "Xinjiang Restaurant" and Carrefour. ✖ ​​Cons​​: Slightly dated but clean. ​​2️⃣ Casablanca: Ibis near Train Station​​ 🚂 ​​3-min walk from Casa Voyageurs station​​ 💰 ​​€64/night​​ ✔ ​​Pros​​: ​​Tiny but tidy​​—perfect for overnight layovers. Next to ​​tram stops​​ for hassle-free exploring. ​​3️⃣ Marrakech: Riad dar sahrawi (Medina)​​ 🏡 ​​Traditional riad vibes​​ 💰 ​​€66/night​​ ✔ ​​Pros​​: ​​15-min walk to Rabat Ville station​​. Authentic ​​courtyard with mosaic tiles​​. ✖ ​​Cons​​: ​​Rooster alarm clock​​ at dawn (pack earplugs!). ​​4️⃣ Tangier: Pestana Apartments (Best Stay!)​​ ⚽ ​​Rumor: Owned by Cristiano Ronaldo​​ 😉 💰 ​​€75/night​​ ✔ ​​Perks​​: ​​5-min to train station​​, full ​​kitchen + washer​​. ​​Smelled like a luxury spa​​ (even the blankets!). Spacious, with ​​free slippers​​ (rare in Morocco!). ​​🧳 Packing Tips​​ ​​Toothbrush + flip-flops​​ (most hotels don’t provide). ​​Skip shampoo​​—local toiletries were shockingly good! ​​#MoroccoByTrain #BudgetTravel #WhereToStay​
