The shoestring Maroc is a five-minute walk from Bab El Mansour. Up a set of stairs off Rue Rouamzine, it's quiet, with simple rooms (with sinks). Shared bathrooms are clean. You can also opt for a mattress on the roof terrace. At last pass, the hotel was for sale, so this could mean quality will be affected.
