Camping Diamant Vert,Rue Ain Chkef. Decent amount of shade, french toilets and (sometimes warm) showers. 25 Dh a person, 15 Dh per tent. Free access to the swimming pool.
HI youth hostel (Albergue Juvenil), 18 Rue Abdeslam Serghini, tel 035.624085. Clean, bright, friendly and well placed in the ville nouvelle. Unfortunately there is a debilitating 10PM curfew and a five hour lockout. Dorms / twins with shared bath from Dh 45 / Dh 55, plus Dh 5 surcharge for non HI members.
Hotel Cascades, 26 rue Serrajine (near Bab Boud Jeloud - main gate) in the Medina, tel +212 35 638 442. The rooms are clean, noisy and simple. Shared bathrooms on the first and second floor, free hot shower on the first. A double costs 160 dh / night (70Dh a small single), this makes it cheaper than the youth hostel with a better location and no lockout, and therefore attracting a clientele of young backpackers and solo tourists looking for travel companions.
Most backpackers would love to sleep on the upper terrace for 40 Dh: the hostel will provide for mattresses and blankets, and the view of the medina roofs under the stars is magic. Pay another 10 dirham and you got yourself a comfortable sofa and a roof on the lower terrace.
Backslash could be 5AM calls to prayer waking you up, 6AM light and summer midday-heat.
Security concerns should be solved by the constant presence of M. Roshd and his various helpers, who guards the area all day long, preventing touts and thieves to enter.
The little restaurant on the terrace also offer a gorgeous breakfast (milk-coffee, local pancakes, croissants and mint tea, for 25Dh), local dishes for meal (50Dh), and waterpipe (shisha) on soft sofas.
Hotel Erraha (near Bab Boud Jeloud - main gate) in the Medina. Ugly and noisy, not absolutely clean but could serve for a night if you don't find another place, 100 Dhs. One of the employees, Mohammad, is a good man, and will gladly tell you about the history of Fes, and help you out if you need anything.
There are a few more hostels near the main gate walking down any of the two parallel main streets, but not many of them. Try to arrive well before dark. The streets beyond the two main ones can be frightening at night.
Pension Batha, (100-250 Dhs) 8 Sidi Lkhayat Batha, Fax: 05-574-1150, just across from Hotel Batha, around the corner from Bab Boud Ganoush. It has limited rooms, and fills up quickly, but they are clean and include private bathroom. It comes with breakfast on a nice (but small) terrace on the top floor. Double Room with bathroom 250 Dhs. Breakfast very simple but OK. Ask for Laila (English spoken).
Hotel Rex, 32 Machra bel Ksiri (near place Atlas), tel. 035.642133, 100 Dh for a double room in the Ville Nouvelle, near the Gare CTM.
Hotel Volubilis, 42 Abdellah Chefchaouni, tel 035.620463, 80 Dh for a double, 120 Dh for apartments for 3-4 people. Bed bathrooms (cold shower, just over the toilet).
