Our take
Hotel Malta sits at 3 Rue Charif El Idrissi in Hamria, the Ville Nouvelle district of Meknes, about 500 m from Al Amir Abdelkader station, the more central of the city's two rail stops. Frommer's describes an English-style pub, a piano bar and a nightclub on site, so evenings here are louder than in a medina riad. Rooms are air-conditioned with city views, family rooms are available, the restaurant serves European cooking with halal and vegetarian options, and listings mention free parking. Guests rate it 7.6 out of 10 across 90 reviews. I would choose it for a train arrival or a road trip with Volubilis on the programme, and pick a riad near Place el-Hedim to sleep inside the medina.
- Take the train to Al Amir Abdelkader rather than the other Meknes stop: the hotel is about 500 m away, an easy walk with wheeled luggage.
- Use the free parking as your base for Volubilis, about 30 km north: leave early in the morning, before the heat and the tour coaches reach the Roman site.
- Reach the medina by petit taxi to Place el-Hedim and Bab Mansour: the Ville Nouvelle and the old city sit on opposite sides of the Boufekrane valley, a long climb on foot in summer.
- If you sleep lightly, ask for a room away from the pub and nightclub side when you check in, as weekend evenings can run late.

Why guests love itHotel Malta offers air-conditioned family rooms in Hamria, and for parents its practical strengths are free parking, a restaurant with halal and vegetarian options, and a short walk from Al Amir Abdelkader station. That makes it a sensible stop for families driving or taking the train between Fès and Rabat with a day trip to Volubilis. The limits for children are clear: there is no pool, the medina is a taxi ride away across the valley, and the hotel's evening life revolves around a pub, a piano bar and a nightclub, which some families will prefer to avoid. I would book it for one or two nights of sightseeing with school-age children, and look for a riad or a hotel with a pool for a longer family stay.
