The Federation Royale des Auberges de Jeunesse (FRMAJ) is the Moroccan Hosteling International (HI) affiliate. Beds cost 45-60dh per night, and there is a surcharge for nonmembers everywhere but in Casablanca. Some hostels sell HI memberships on the spot. Call ahead for reservations. You’ll probably need to bring your own sleepsack and towel, and there are usually curfew and lockout times. For hostel addresses, contact FRMAJ, Parc de la Ligue Arabe, BP 15998, Casa Principale, Casablanca 21000 (☎022 47 09 52). For more info on national youth hostel associations, see Accommodations, .
Although there is an official star system for rating hotels in Morocco, the rating reflects little more than price. Hotels that are not part of the system are not necessarily worse—standards vary greatly—but they are usually cheaper. Rooms can vary widely even within a particular hotel, so ask to see another room if you don’t like the first. Cheap hotels in Morocco are extremely inexpensive—as little as 80dh per night. Listings are generally divided between medina and ville nouvelle establishments. Medina hotels are usually cheaper, but less comfortable and with fewer amenities. Hot showers, when available, may cost extra (usually less than 10dh). Many hotels offer laundry services.
Camping is popular and cheap (about 20dh per person), especially in the desert, mountains, and beaches. Like hotels, conditions vary widely. You can usually expect to find restrooms, but electricity is not as readily available. Use caution if camping unofficially, especially on the beaches, as theft is a problem.
