BUDGET HOTELS
There are very, very many very low budget hotels in Tangier. You will find them from the sea boulevard up to the roads leading from that boulevard to the Medina, and in the souks.
Obviously, very low budget, or rates starting from 10€ per night, mean a very low degree of comfort as well.
WHERE?
Very low budget hotels are everywhere. Just walk into the souks. If your backpack is heavy, go straight from the Ferry Port to the Kasbah - at the exit of the Port turn to your right, to your right again and walk uphill.
JULY AND AUGUST: FULL, FULL, FULL
This type of hotels can not be booked online, in most cases not even per telephone as they are not marketed at all. But they usually always have availability, no matter at what time you arrive - with the exception of the months of June, July and August when the whole of Tangier is fully booked.
Because of literally hundreds of thousands Moroccans turning home for the summer, many of whom pass through Tangier.
BACKPACKERS
Not even 4 or 5 years ago this was a real 'backpackers city'.
A "dump" for some, about intrigue and magic for others.
There are still public showers in the Medina, for those staying in a very low budget place, but in general Tangier is now corporate city, with most of the tourists hanging around the luxury hotels at the Sea front.
VIA MALAGA?
Then HOSTAL LA PALMA is a very good bet.
It is very low budget, but at the same time safe, quiet and in the complete heart of Málaga centre with all the tourist attractions around you.
