Guesthouse in the Kasbah rated four stars on aggregator listings, with doubles from about USD 41.
Kasba Blanca is a budget guesthouse on Rue El Gourna in the Kasbah of Tangier, northern Morocco. The Kasbah is the walled hilltop quarter at the north end of the old town, and the guesthouse is within a short walk of the Kasbah Museum, the ramparts and viewpoints over the Strait of Gibraltar. The medina's main lanes, the Petit Socco and the Grand Socco lie downhill, and the port is a short taxi ride away.
The guesthouse is rated four stars on aggregator listings, with doubles from about USD 41, which puts it among the better-value options in the Kasbah. It occupies a traditional house in the quarter's whitewashed streets, with the simple, local character typical of a small riad-style stay rather than a luxury boutique. Room types listed are Double or Twin Rooms and Suites, and amenities listed are Wi-Fi and a terrace.
No restaurant is listed, so guests usually take breakfast at the guesthouse if offered and eat other meals in the Kasbah and the medina. The area has a range of small cafes, tagine restaurants and fish places within walking distance, and the Ville Nouvelle's larger restaurants are a short taxi ride away.
No pool, spa or fitness facilities are listed. The main attraction is the position inside the historic citadel, where visitors can explore at their own pace and watch the sunset over the strait. The terrace is the main place to relax.
Service is typical of a small guesthouse, personal and informal, with staff or the owner able to give directions through the lanes, help with luggage and suggest taxis and excursions to Cap Spartel, the Caves of Hercules, Asilah and Chefchaouen. Rates are in the budget bracket, typically about MAD 350 to MAD 600 per night depending on season and room, making it suitable for independent travellers and couples on a modest budget.
