Top 3 cheap hotels near bars in Casablanca, Morocco

I won’t hide that at first my attention was drawn by the beautiful girls in the hotel's advertisement photos. Then I checked if there were good bars around and found that there are several places like that!

We visit Irish pubs in every city, and we were happy to see one 250 meters from the hotel. At The Irish Pub, the food is delicious, and the portions are just huge. They serve sausage with salad along with the fries we ordered. For us, poor students, this is luxurious. Beer costs around $7-8. I don't know if we will meet lovely ladies here, but what I know for sure is that we will find new international friends, as the atmosphere in the pub is truly friendly.

There is another pub - Le Trica - located 350 meters from the hotel. Attention, quote: “A great place, excellent drinks, and friendly staff.” What else do you need for happiness? Well, reasonable prices, perhaps. A half-liter of local draft beer will cost about $7.5 at most, cocktails around $8, whiskey - $9. The same goes for carbonara pasta and, slightly less, for Margherita pizza. In general, I gathered that the pub is popular among locals. I must stop by here on Saturday for karaoke night. It’s also a good opportunity to make a name for yourself and have a great time. 

When we get tired of the typical pub atmosphere, we will visit the wine bar DA RUA. Moreover, it is located just about 150 meters from the hotel. This bar has the best rating of all, and I decided to find out why. This place is a paradise for wine lovers. There is a large selection, and they also serve delicious snacks - tapas. Prices for a glass of wine are reasonable, starting at $6.5, and a portion of snacks for one person starts at $6. I never thought I would want to visit such establishments in Casablanca, but I was greatly impressed by the reviews.

A solid four-star hotel, but despite this, the price for a triple room for our company is quite reasonable. There is a large outdoor swimming pool on the roof. And also a cool indoor pool with a transparent roof. I need to hurry to get in shape for the vacation😅 The location is cool: on the central Anfa boulevard. This means proximity to the ocean coast, convenient transport accessibility, and many supermarkets and bars around. The upper floors offer inspiring views of Casablanca, and there is also a bar that I haven't had a chance to check out yet. Overall, this accommodation option completely suits me, and I am ready to overlook minor shortcomings. It's just sad that there is no kitchen or at least a refrigerator in the room. We will have to spend a lot on food in restaurants and also have breakfast at the hotel.

If I understood correctly, this hotel has several names. I tend to believe that the current one is Kaan Casablanca. The main thing is to come to the right address. They say it is a new hotel. It has many positive reviews, which means our rest from the nightly revelries will be comfortable.

Succumbing to the temptation to find more wine bars in Casablanca, I stumbled upon Wynn. This wine bar has a colorful interior that makes you want to take a closer look, and it is located 200 meters from the hotel. The gem of this place is the staff. They create a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. The bar is favored by the locals; tourists are a rare sight here. When we walk the streets of Casablanca on Friday evening in search of a less crowded spot, we will head here right away. It's guaranteed to be good. The prices are as follows: for a bottle of wine (usually French) and two appetizers, you will need to pay $60.

I do not consider this bar a must-visit in Casablanca. Moreover, it is relatively far from the hotel: 800 meters away. But I still want to keep this option for us. The thing is, the bar is very authentic and interesting to visit. The decor features many antique items that you will want to look at while enjoying your drinks. It won't be boring to come here even alone. Just make sure to dress properly, or the bouncer at the entrance will ask you to leave. The price for beer is cheaper than in other places: around $3. However, I found some dissatisfied customers in the reviews; for example, some may find the staff rude, and foreigners are unhappy that there is no menu readily available.

I did not find any significant drawbacks. Everything is new, the interiors are stylish, we will definitely like it here. The city center is nearby, and many bars are also within walking distance. At the same time, it is quiet, and we will be able to get a good night's sleep. The staff is pleasant and ready to assist. Whatever may be lacking, soap or a band-aid in the room, they will provide everything immediately. For our company, we chose a two-bedroom apartment. It's convenient that it has a microwave, refrigerator, stove, as well as a minibar, safe, hairdryer, plenty of sockets, a large shower cabin, and a television with satellite channels. In such an apartment, it would even be comfortable for us to stay for a long time. It's great that you can take a "late breakfast" (buffet with hot dishes). We will find this option useful, otherwise, there is a risk of sleeping through breakfast.

This hotel is different from the previous ones because a good bar is located right inside it, and even on the roof. I love such places: they have a special atmosphere, and the views are promised to be impressive!

You need to be ready for the fact that the rooftop bar is very popular. It can get loud here in the evenings, especially when the DJ is playing. It's worth choosing this hotel if we really plan to party every night; otherwise, it will be hard to fall asleep. The views from here are really beautiful: of the Catholic cathedral and the mosque. By the way, during Ramadan, the rooftop is closed, so be prepared for that. They say the cocktails here are 10/10, and they are definitely worth trying, but the beer is expensive: about $10. For a plate of Caesar salad, I will pay another $10, and for sushi rolls, on average, it's $8.

Well, it’s not exactly nearby, but can’t we take a 500-meter walk? This is a typical Spanish tapas bar where you can try seafood paella, fried anchovies, and drink sangria or good draft beer. Again, an option if we want to become more cultured and stop visiting typical pubs. There’s a warm family atmosphere, friendly staff, live music in the evenings, and the quality of the dishes is commendable. A portion of paella for 1-2 people costs $15, and a glass of sangria is $6. In general, I liked that unlike many bars, the menu here is published on the website for public access. This is convenient and helps avoid unexpected expenses. There is also a downside to this establishment: some visitors are unhappy that smoking is allowed here, and there is literally a cloud of cigarette smoke.

The hotel has a cool central location: within walking distance to all the bars I mentioned earlier. The beach is far away, but nearby is the Arab League Park - the most beautiful in Casablanca, where it's nice to hang out while waiting for the next pub crawl. Going to bed early here won't be possible: the street is noisy and youthful. But we weren't planning on it anyway, we’ll sleep at home, and while traveling, you have to soak in the atmosphere of the cities non-stop. The rooms in the hotel are large and pleasant; you can make yourself a hot tea or coffee right there and empty the mini-bar. After a sleepless night - this will be extremely helpful for recovery. You can also have breakfast at the buffet, hearty, with freshly squeezed juice and other goodies, but I don't know if we’ll be able to open our eyes by that time.
