Yes, book it if you want to sleep inside the medina for well under half the Tangier median price, with a friendly welcome. If you need room to spread out, be aware some guests find the rooms and bathrooms tight.

Mamora Bay is our Budget pick in Tangier. It suits travellers who want to be inside the old medina, close to the port and markets, and who care about a warm welcome more than space. Family rooms are listed, and halal is among the breakfast options.
Skip it if a large room is important, as guests are split on room size and some find the bathrooms tight. If you want resort facilities, our Luxury pick in Tangier is a very different, and much pricier, kind of stay.
Location and getting around
The address is 19 place souk dakhil medina rue, Tanger 90000, in the Old Medina. On our straight-line estimates, the Grand Mosque of Tangier is right beside the hotel, Lalla Abla Mosque about 6 minutes on foot (0.5 km) and St Andrew's Church about 15 minutes (1.2 km). These are estimates, and medina lanes rarely run straight, so real walks can take longer.
Guests describe the setting as inside the Medina, near the port, the markets and the beach. The provider rates the location 9.3 out of 10. Whether a car can reach the door is not confirmed, so ask the hotel how best to arrive with luggage.
What guests say
The score is 8.7 out of 10 from 3,162 guest reviews, the largest sample of our three Tangier picks. Location is the first thing guests praise. The second is the staff: a friendly team that welcomes you with tea and helps with luggage.
Room size divides opinion. Some guests call the rooms spacious, while others find the floor area and bathrooms tight. Check the size of the room type before you book. Breakfast options listed by the property are continental, halal and buffet.
Price, and how it compares with our other Tangier picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 Nov, 2 adults, one room) were about €58.70 a night. The sample median was €140.84, so this sat 58% below it. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Best Value pick, Hotel El Toro Tanger (3 stars, 9.1), was about €83.30 a night, roughly €25 more for a higher guest score. Our Luxury pick, Idou Malabata Beach and SPA (5 stars, 9.2), was about €268.55. If budget is the deciding factor, Mamora Bay is the clear choice; if you can spend a little more, El Toro is worth a look.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 14 eligible properties in Tangier. The Budget slot goes to the lowest eligible reference price after the upscale choice is set aside, and Mamora Bay came in cheapest at €58.70. On guest score it was joint eighth of 14, so it earned the slot on price and position rather than rating.
