Another of the oldest hotels in Ghadames, Al-Waha is popular with tour groups, but the truth is that all rooms are simple and some are showing none-too-graceful signs of age; most beds sag and the bathrooms in particular are in need of an overhaul - one traveller reported that th… Full Lonely Planet Review ›

At last a new hotel where you can see the old city from your room, at least if you have a north-facing room. The rooms themselves are well-sized, clean and comfortable, if a touch overpriced, but we've no hesitation in recommending a stay here because the location is easily the b… Full Lonely Planet Review ›

Another easy-to-recommend new hotel close to the town centre, Ben Yeddar has rooms that are the merest cut above others in a similar price range, and excellent bathrooms. Although we visited when it was still new and yet to age, we suspect that the attentive staff will keep it in… Full Lonely Planet Review ›

Although the rooms at this intimate little hotel are simple, they're spacious and nicely kept. Best of all, the staff exude a gentle desert charm and seem genuinely pleased to see you, in an unobtrusive way. If you're here as a group, you'll probably fill the place and it will fe… Full Lonely Planet Review ›

Almost as far south as you can go in Ghadames (which isn't far), this new place is excellent, with spacious, well-appointed rooms with satellite TV.

One solution to Ghadames' shortage of beds is the prevalence of villas - homes that operate like bed-and-breakfast places. All are simple, well-kept … Full Lonely Planet Review ›

Kafila, In the streets behind the New Mosque, this is one of the longer-standing hotels in town and it remains a popular place for groups. Perhaps that's because the rooms are enormous, although it has to be said that most are uninspiring and careworn. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

Simple rooms but most have private bathrooms. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

Friendly place with ornate, over-the-top rooms and a resident cat. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

This comfortable place has 16 spotlessly clean rooms with bath and air-con. The splashes of traditional decoration in some rooms is a nice touch and the location, a short walk east from the entrance to the old city, is also better than most. You can pitch a tent in the hotel's wa… Full Lonely Planet Review ›
