Travelling soon - any advice if hostels accept cards in Morocco or I have to give them cash
One place in Essaouira accepted my card, another didn’t even try. I keep enough cash on me to cover two nights just in case
I booked through Hostelworld and paid a deposit online. But the balance in Tangier had to be in cash. They didn’t take any card, not even Visa. I’d say 70 percent of the time, you’ll need dirham =)
Stayed at two hostels in Chefchaouen. Both wanted cash even though they had card signs at the door. Said the machine wasn’t working. Always carry backup cash
In cities like Marrakech and Fes, the bigger hostels usually accept cards, but smaller riads or local spots often ask for cash at check-in. Best to message ahead and confirm.=)
The most Hostels accepted my german revolut card. So not a problem. But i always had some backup cash - just in case!
