In Oran, Le Raja Hotel is a charming little place to stay if you are not looking for the comforts of a large modern chain.

If you are travelling to the Aures region of Algeria then the Shelia Batna Hotel and the Hotel Chelia are two good three-star options in Batna.

For travellers to Oran then the Sofi Hotel is a nice choice to stay at. In a lovely tree-lined location the laid-back ambience of the city is captured in this basic but good-quality hotel. If your destination happens to be Setif, in north-eastern Algeria, then the Hôtel Frantz Fanon is in a great location overall for sightseeing, recreation, dining, and getting around the city. As part of the ancient Berber kingdom of Numidia, Setif has a lot for the adventurous traveller to explore and is often used by Algerian tour operators as an alternative stop-off point to Djémila.

You will find yourself absorbed into the atmosphere of Algerian life with a magnificent view of the port, a beautiful Algeria beach and the bay of Algiers. Inside the beautifully restored Haussmann-style building, the elegant decor blends harmoniously with modern and traditional touches to create a warm and friendly atmosphere.

The hotel is close to most of the important tourist sites such as the Bastion, the casbah, the Botanical gardens and a range of theatres and museums.

The Best Boutique places to stay in Algeria

As boutique hotels go, the Hôtel d’Orient in Annaba is certainly one of the best in Algeria. First opening its doors for business in 1876 as with many of these types hotels, for many years it was the place to be seen. As is also true with many of these types of boutique hotels, bad management and a lack of investment eventually lead to a fall in its reputation. This eventually led to the Hôtel d’Orient falling into a state of disrepair. Thankfully, those days are now behind it and after considerable investment and renovations, the Hôtel d’Orient in Annaba has opened its doors again for discerning travellers to Algeria.

In Algiers, the ST Hotel is described by the Lonely Planet as ‘A great find on a side street in the centre of town’ and if you are looking for a no-frills, Algerian hotel, then this is a great option. Dating back to 1963 and close to the Musee National du Bardo, the ST Hotel has a wonderful French style and large comfortable bedrooms. This must surely be one of the best places to stay in Algeria for any tourist visiting Algiers.
