    Beautiful Riad. The staff were amazing. Very helpful and very professional. The rooms very nicely decorated, located right in the heart of the old town. The breakfast was complete and really delicious.

    It is up a couple of stairs so if you have luggage, be mindful of that and the scammers/hustlers at Place Houta Al Hammam who will harass you until you get their help. Also, our bus was in the morning and no one was there to help or check us out, so we had to bring everything down ourselves.

    Very new and clean property. Close to the sites and in the Medina. Organized dinner at a nearby restaurant for us. Breakfast was great and staff was friendly.

    The hotel could do with buying new towels as they were quite stained. The cleanliness in some areas could be better.

    Excellent location inside the Medina. We stayed in one of the suites and it was very comfortable with a decent size bathroom. I would recommend choosing a suite.

    No actual spa, I would have loved a massage after tackling the hills.

    We really liked everything about the Hotel especially the staff-they were great but if I'm honest the location was up so many stairs I struggled, and I was not prepared when we were dropped off by taxi nowhere near the entrance. Two guys grabbed our bags and put them on their shoulders and we ran behind to keep up (I didn't though) It was comical. This is not the fault of the Hotel, they can't do anything about location. I did not do enough research I guess before booking, so FYI. Honestly EVERYTHING in Chefchouen is up stairs to some degree, and I did get used to the stairs by the end of our visit. I wanted to be in or close to the Medina and we were. The Riad itself is beautifully restored and I think priced right-it's not a 5star property. The Spa is non existent and unfortunately 1 reason why I booked this hotel so that was disappointing. The bed was very comfortable-got a great sleep, and the roof top terrace very inviting. Ultimately I would recommend this Hotel.

    The riad was fascinating and typical, super well located, and the breakfast was good. The room was nice and the view from the balcony was breathtaking, plus the roof is a little blue corner of paradise. Abdell was very nice, gave us an upgrade and some good tips to get to know the city :)

    Comfy, clean, scenic and practical!

    Instructions on how to operate the AC were unclear. Toilet cistern needed to be manually switched on/off- this may have just been our room but it was not a big issue as we just figured this our ourselves.

    The location of the riad is excellent, very close to the 'square' where you can find plenty of shops and restaurants. The staff were very welcoming and available to assist with any queries we had. There is a staff member onsite at reception at all times and cctv so we felt safe as two females. The facilities are modern and clean- slight issue with the toilet plumbing but we easily fixed this ourselves. We stayed for 2 nights and they offered room service, fresh towels etc. Breakfast was included and was great. The interior of the Riad is exceptional, very picturesque and you may also catch the best views of the city from the terrace. Overall highly recommend this riad! We did a fair bit of research before booking and can safely say this is one of the best in the city with all things considered. Might not be exactly clear where the riad is from the place where the taxi's typically drop you off (it's not far but just unclear to navigate) but a local will more than likely help you, or you can put it in google maps or even call the host to assist/meet you.

    The riad, it is quite a walk upstairs especially with suitcases and for old people can get very difficult l, also the staff is not English speaking, the staff lied to us that the public Hamam is shut, whereas it was open , the staff at the main reception was very greedy , he wanted to take money at every drop of a hat , after requesting for a strict vegetarian breakfast it was still not organised, after the breakfast was served, there was no one to give basic sugar and salt , poorly trained staff

    The property was near and clean.

    The hotel was nice and clean, plus it was in the middle of chefchaouen, which makes it easy to go to all the nearby shops and restaurants. Also, the staff were so friendly and accommodating.

    The design of the Riad is super nice. The proximaty to the plaza is also a plus. The host is super frinedly and will help with anything

    No nearby parking and difficult to find by google map. You need to call or find someone to take you to the hotel because of the nature of the city.

    In the middle of old downtown, staff is helpful and polite.
