Hôtel Ait Baamrane

Sidi Ifni


It's fewer than 100 steps from the door of your room to the water's edge at this beachfront pile of bricks, which is the main reason to stay here. Otherwise it's extremely basic, but the reasonably clean rooms are available for a pittance. There's an attached bar and restaurant overlooking the waves.

Staff take a laissez-faire approach to most everything, which is fitting because there's no phone, website or way to prebook. However, you shouldn't have a problem finding a room here unless it's a summer weekend.
