Hotels in Sétif, Algeria: book online

Sétif, capital of the high plateaus

Sétif, east of Algiers, stands on the high plateaus at more than 1,000 metres, which gives it hot summers and cold winters, sometimes with snow. It is a lively commercial city, known for the Aïn El Fouara fountain in the centre, its shopping streets and its large shopping and conference centres.

The Sétif museum holds remarkable Roman mosaics, and the city is the best base for two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Djémila, the Roman mountain town of Cuicul, less than an hour away by road, and Al Qal'a of Beni Hammad, towards M'Sila.

Where to stay in Sétif

The city centre suits a short stay on foot, near Aïn El Fouara, the shops and the restaurants. Business travellers often choose the large hotels with conference rooms, such as the Park Mall Hotel, the Renea or the Best Western Plus.

In winter, check that your room has good heating and allow extra time on the mountain roads if snow is forecast.
