Great city, beautiful hotel
Great hotel in every way, though not as a complaint as much as preparatory note....just a little out the way through the medina and out the other side, if carrying huge bags from the bus stop

A great hotel situated just outside of the old town , a pleasant stroll into the Médina where you will find lots of market shopping and restaurants. Overall the hotel was fantastic - delicious breakfast , beautiful pool overlooking the city and lovely grounds to the hotel. Overall a great experience in Chefchaoen.

A enchanting find
What an amazing find! A charming hotel, delightful setting, first/rate service and the food was delicious. Our two rooms were beautifully decorated in a bungalow, with a lovely lounge and a roof terrace with spectacular views over the magical city of Chaouen. The photo is the view from our room. The hotel was so delightful that it was hard to drag ourselves away to explore the town. We will be back to stay and hopefully not too soon!

I believe the view from the hotel was the absolute best around and was within walking distance to the souks and shops in the middle of the town. The staff was helpful and friendly, but Mohamed was exceptional. He helped us navigate through town, he spent time with us and taught us about Morocco and it’s amazing people and traditions. He made our trip unforgettable. We will definitely be back as often as we can and we will recommend this as a definite place to stay. Thank you for absolutely everything!! ❤️

An excellent choice for those who privilege romance, adventure, and history over the convenience of new appliances and contemporary furnishings. Located inside the medina, this beautiful dar affords an opportunity to experience Fes as traveler might a century ago -- albeit with air conditioning and electrical lighting. The architecture is stunning, and the staff friendly and accommodating. Some of the antique furnishings are worn, but that is part of the charm. The plumbing could use updating, but this was more than offset by the spacious room and overall ambience. The staff prepared a lunch for us one day that was as good as any meal I had during my week in Morocco.

A truly beautiful gem of a place
My trip was planned only a day or so before I arrived and I did little research before hand so I did not set high expectations. If I had I would not have been disappointed. This is a beautiful hotel in an outstanding setting. The room was as good as any 5 star room I have stayed in anywhere. Spacious bedroom, clean and fresh toilet and shower room and a beautiful cool and traditionally furnished lounge. This hotel could do well just for being where it is and being of a high specification throughout but it doesn't stop there. The staff are really lovely and helpful making me feel really welcome despite my late arrival and only staying one night. Even though checkout was at mid day I was allied to use their pool and outdoor lounge until my bus came later in the afternoon. Dar echchaouen made my short visit to Chefchaouen unforgettable. A real gem of a place.

This hotel has a great location and the views from the rooms are breathtaking. The hotel itself is clean, and super adorable. The reception staff was not very welcoming and seemed annoyed with having to help us. They did not say more than two words to us in the few encounters we had with them.

Hotel was beautiful but staff not so knowledgeable
The place was beautiful and quaint. It created a very relaxing atmosphere. Hotel staff were not very knowledgeable about traveling in/out of Chefchaouen. We were trying to buy bus or train tickets to Rabat and were told the Supratours office would be open at 6 am, and if not then definitely by 7 am. We got there at 8 am and waited until 9:30, but they were still not open. We ended up having to take a different bus to Rabat, which the staff did not even mention to us as an option. In general, we enjoyed our stay at the hotel, but found the staff not very informative/helpful.

Good hotel, great value, clean and helful staff
I really enjoyed my stay at Dar Echchaouen, the room was sizable and clean. The hotel is set in a picturesque part of town towards the mountain. The staff are really nice and friendly and helpful in assisting you in anything you need ;) I would highly recommenced taking a taxi from the coach station (should be no more than 20 MAD). The pool was closed when we visited, but this was expected being off season

Stay here for the views and the flowers!!
This place was absolutely gorgeous. Super attention to detail!! At 8am a gardener was outside my door pruning and the women who cleaned dthe room mopped everything even though I was staying multiple days. Food was reasonably priced with option to eat in room. The pool and the views are incredible!! Abdul in particular was not only attentive and caring but fun as well. He went above and beyond. I had an accident and he came in on his day off just to help me out. The other staff seemed to get overwhelmed easily but did try to help. The hotel is kind of above the town and the Medina and there are a bunch of steps but other than that an incredible place to stay

Beautiful property. We really enjoyed the location. I am a light-sleeper, but it wasn't a problem. As is usually the case in Morocco, the breakfast consisted of bread and more bread, so plan to get some protein for lunch.

Hotel is beautiful with a good view on the hill. Hotel staffs are not that friendly when I checked in. Many hotel provide mint tea when people arrived but this didn't, so we not feeling welcome. The swimming pool is beautiful with a very good view but it is too dirty!!!!! I really want to swim but it is too dirty with many different kinds of insect, I can't see anyone swim. The room is too cold for sleep even in June and the heater is not heat. I have try to call the hotel before I went there but the number seem not work and no one reply your email if you send to them. I leave in the early morning so there is no breakfast.

picture perfect view
This place was our first stop in Morocco after getting off the Ferry. We arranged with the hotel to have a driver pick us up from the ferry and drop us off at the riad. Our first impression of the Riad was amazing! Considering we've never been to Morocco it was up on the hill that overlooked the main part of town. Our room was next to the pool that had such an amazing view of the town. The room was quaint and perfect size for us as we weren't planning on staying in the riad all day. We enjoyed the breakfast in the front yard with the sweetest kittens and the food was delicious the different breads they had.

Excellent hotel on the hill above town
Terrific hotel, great value. Very warm and inviting restaurant. We only had the hotel breakfast there, which was a good selection of traditional Moroccan breads, with great jams and honey and fresh goat cheese -- a step above the usual riad breakfast in Morocco. Everyone was very helpful at the hotel and arranged for an early morning cab ride so we could catch our 7 am bus. They do take credit cards. Location is good for sightseeing and hiking: easy walk into the medina or a quick walk up the hill to Ras el Ma and on to the Spanish mosque and the mountains beyond. There are good trails you can follow from the mosque to nearby villages and up the mountains beyond the town.

Nice hotel up on the hill
Needed somewhere to stay in the area. Finding the hotel is kind of a pain because we hadn't been there before, and the taxis are scam artists like everywhere in Morocco. Still, once we got to the hotel, they welcomed us and showed us to our room. They gave us info about the town and gave us a good walking route on a map for efficient sight seeing since our time was limited. Bed was nice, sink/shower had hot water.

We had a fantastic stay at Dar Echchaouen. The staff was very helpful and arranged a guide to take us hiking. They also gave us suggestions on where to go for food and shopping although I think the hotel at the hotel was some of the best in the city. The only suggestion would be to add WiFi in the rooms instead of just the lobby. Definitely would go back here!

nice place to stay
it was very pleasant to stay there, staff were friendly and helpful. however there was no telephone in the room so to ask for anything we needed to go down to reception and our room was way up on the other side many steps, when we asked the staff said to call them from our mobiles if we needed to talk to them, not ideal just put a telephone in the bedroom. food was not great and not for the price they charge, you get much better quality in the town with half what you pay at the hotel. drinks in the small fridge in the room, they charged us for it in checkout but there was nothing indicating the prices or that fact that they are not free, nor they told us on check in, a bit naughty.

A short taxi ride from the bus station. It is a lovely place full of ambience that one would expect of chef. The in house restaurant was a "Godsend" as we were there durning Eid and everything else was closed, unlike in our hometown Kuwait. The scenery from the property is lovely and the room bright and colourful within the Chef style, Enjoyed the hotel very much and will most definately come back there if we visit Chef again.
