Dar Echchaouen Maison d'hôtes & Riad

This hotel is an absolute MUST. I hope I can return one day. Inside the hotel is so beautiful that is hard to put all in words, every new space or corner I discovered became a new favorite spot. The view of the city is stunning and it is located in a very good place to start a walking your. I recommend you having dinner in the hotel, the grilled fish and the Moroccan soup are very good. They also have options for lack intolerant, so make sure you ask for desserts.

We absolutely loved this hotel! It is beautifully laid out, with great terraces and planting, the decoration is wonderfully judged, bedrooms are a good size (and ours had a nice balcony), really tastefully done, the breakfasts are very tasty. Unfortunately we were only there overnight, and we ate in town not at the hotel. Arriving back in the evening there was some delightful music being performed in the restaurant (not too loud!). Wish we could have stayed longer, but we were on a tight schedule. Fabulous place to chill..............

We enjoyed our stay here. It was a bit out of the medina area which I appreciated as it was quiet and calm. The walk up to the hotel reception was an easy few steps and if you are reasonably fit you will have no problem! There are 2 ways to enter the Medina from this hotel, easy way via the right from the entrance or cut in from the stairs opposite. We did both ways but the stairs opposite was a bit complicated to navigate. Google maps will definitely help! Rooms are nice and beds are firm and comfortable. Showers are amazingly hot and good water pressure ( a must during winter months) . Breakfast was buffet style which is great for us as we can heat up our pancakes and bread! You can order your eggs via the staff. If you can, opt for a later breakfast time ( 9am onwards) so you miss the crowds. We had dinner at the hotel and it was great and they even had a local artiste playing music live . We had Italian pasta as we needed a break from the usual Moroccan fare after 9 days and it was delicious! Staff were helpful from the porters to the waiters. We sat in the outdoor terrace drinking mint tea , enjoying the tranquillity vs the busy cities of Fes and Marrakesh. Totally recommend this hotel stay! |Chefchaouen is a lovely town and we enjoyed it very much. One of the highlight of this town is the locally acclaimed artist - Gallery Of Mohsin El Ouragli- once you see his paintings , the ones by the streets just pales in comparison!

Excellent location and is close but not close to souks. The hotel is right above souks and does involve hills but most places are going to involve hills here. It is a quick 10 minute walk to Kasbah. The Spanish Mosque trail is close by. The public laundry is down the road. The service is neutral- not overly welcoming but not rude either. The rooms are nicely decorated and loved the green tiled bathroom. I had a juliette balcony which was nice. The breakfast room was small and very chaotic. Kids running around and overtook area. The selection was limited for people with allergies. It took a bit to get food then I just inhaled and ran. It was not a relaxing, quiet breakfast. A room for kids would be great or perhaps put people with kids elsewhere. To get the full experience of Chefchaouen hire a local guide. A driver is able to get pretty close to the hotel.

We visited here as part of a group tour of Morocco. We all loved it. The swimming pool was very welcoming after a days travel. |So wished we could have stayed longer. |We sat outside for our evening meal which was idyllic. Lovely atmosphere and good food. |Only minus point was breakfast was a bit cramped and too busy in the morning. |However recommended and the best hotel of our 10 day trip.

Beautiful riad, very well maintained. Gorgeous views. |Our large group of 14 visited Chefchaouen for a day and we loved Dar Ecchaouen for its convenience and gorgeous views overlooking the Medina with its blue hues. The breakfast was great and the views from all the rooms in the hotel were top notch. Highly recommend

In house restaurant for dinner was good, as well as breakfast.||Staff were friendly and were helpful.||I had a small room as I was just passing through gor one night.|Bed in 18 needs to be looked at!|Bathroom was quite nice.||It's location is at elevation iver the city. Nice view but be careful if you think you can easily walk to town. Remember it is a very hill area and all would be well.||Overall - charming and adequate!

What a magical place. We here for 2 days and now wish we would have stayed an extra day. The moment we showed up we were greeted with a smile. The bell hops took our bags to our room and OMG was this place beautiful. He had a wonderful room over looking the town. Spacious and clean. We recommend this hotel
