Hotel El Muniria

Tangier


This is your best budget option in the Ville Nouvelle, and is chock-full of Beat Generation history (William Burroughs lived here while writing Naked Lunch). Bright blue French windows set it apart, revealing the careful touch of a hands-on family operation.

Room 4, a quiet corner double with lots of light, is a great hideaway, as is Room 8 on the terrace, a quiet double with a harbour view. Noise from The TangerInn Pub bar below can be an issue for some rooms.
