We chanced upon Hotel El Bahia and I think it is in the best part of the Nouvelle Talborjt as you have other hotels close by, a cinema across the road and a square with restaurants on if for whatever reason you're not staying in a beach resort. Both the guys on reception, the younger one and the older one spoke English very well and were both friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend this hotel on that alone although the rooms were large and very clean too. The price is great too.

This is a great place to stay, so cheap and great value for money The staff are so helpful and have really good english If you want something else besides beach resort this place is it

Have stayed at the El Bahia several times over the past 20 years. No frills here (reflected in the rates) but the friendly and helpful staff more than make up for it. Simply furnished but very clean rooms, available with or without en-suite. Breakfast - continental style - served in the sunny courtyard. This hotel is in the Talborjt area of Agadir, a 15 minute walk or short taxi ride from the beach and main tourist area, but there are several good cheap restaurants in the adjacent square. Would be happy to recommend this hotel to anyone wanting more exposure to real Morocco rather than the 5* all-inclusive version! Do NOT confuse with the Hotel Sud Bahia, which is 5* and much more expensive.
