Casablanca is the economic powerhouse of Morocco and its medina has unfortunately been destroyed by the earthquake of Lisboa in 1755. It feels acceptable to in this case not aim for a classic guesthouse but to check-in at a plain vanilla hotel. The Hotel Kenzi Basma is located at the Boulevard Hassan I between the medina and the Place Mohammed V with its administrational buildings. From the hotel main entrance it is easy to reach the central Place des Nations-Unies and to access the tramway network.
The rooms of the Kenzi Basma are good (only safe and balcony door did not work) and always include a small balcony or a roof terrace. Breakfast feels like being in a crazy beehive and is not so relaxed, but around the hotel you’ll find small shops and a supermarket. In the end this was my only hotel during my trip and I was happy about it as riads are a completely different world and much more intimate. But for a night or two the Kenzi Basma can serve as a good starting point to explore Casablanca.
