Stays in Kenitra

Urban Hotel & Spa is a four-star hotel in Kenitra with air-conditioned family rooms, a work desk, a minibar and free WiFi. Outside there is an infinity swimming pool, a sun terrace and a garden, and inside a spa, a fitness room and beauty services. Free private parking is on site. Guests rate it 9.1 out of 10 across 717 reviews, a very high score for a city that few tourists plan around.

A pool and a garden are what I would weigh for a family stay at Relax Hotel Kenitra: children have somewhere to burn off energy between outings. Rooms have air-conditioning, a private bathroom and a dining table, useful for a snack in the room. The on-site restaurant keeps dinner simple, and parents can take turns at the spa and hammam. Free parking suits a family travelling by car, and the 24-hour front desk handles late check-ins.

I would pick City Hotel by Waves for a family that wants a modern, soundproofed base in Kenitra with halal dining. Family rooms are air-conditioned with private bathrooms, a balcony, a minibar and free WiFi, and soundproofing helps children sleep. The modern restaurant serves halal meals, and there are a terrace, a bar and a coffee shop. A lift, 24-hour front desk and daily housekeeping are included. Guests rate it 8.3 across 642 reviews.

I would choose Le Royal Plaza for a family stay in Kenitra with spa and wellness facilities. The listing describes a five-star hotel with a spa, a wellness centre, a garden, a terrace, a fitness room and yoga classes, with free Wi-Fi and free private parking. Family rooms, a children's playground and a family-friendly restaurant are available. It is rated 8.3 from 46 reviews, a good score though not an exceptional one.

I would choose Waves Aqua Resort for a family that wants a five-star base in Kenitra with plenty for children. There is a kids' club and both indoor and outdoor play areas, and the outdoor pool is open all year. Parents get the spa, sun terrace and a lush garden, and the restaurant serves halal meals. Parking is free and private. Guests rate it 8.2 across 1,132 reviews, good rather than flawless.

Hotel Vitality Terminus is a four-star hotel just 50 metres from Kenitra train station, which makes arriving by train with children and luggage very easy. Rooms are air-conditioned with a flat-screen TV, and some have a balcony with city views. Parents can take turns at the spa and hammam or the fitness centre, and the terrace gives a place to sit outside. Free WiFi covers the hotel. Guests rate it 8.2 out of 10 over 387 reviews.

Hotel Mamora Kénitra gives families a city-centre base with a pool on the roof, the main draw for children, though it is open only in season, so check before an off-season stay. Rooms have private bathrooms and free WiFi, and the restaurant and snack bar make meals simple. Parents can use the spa and hammam. The 24-hour front desk helps with late arrivals. A rating of 7.8 from 209 reviews is fair.

I would pick Razane Hôtel for a family that needs a practical stop in Kenitra. Family rooms are air-conditioned with private bathrooms, free WiFi covers the whole property, and the 24-hour front desk is useful for late arrivals. There is a sun terrace, a lounge, a coffee shop and a restaurant. Rabat-Salé Airport is 34 km away, so allow for the transfer. Guests rate it 7.4 across 567 reviews: decent, basic value.
