This property is hard to find so pay a guy when you get out of your taxi 10 diraham to help find it, it’s worth it. The staff were new but helpful. The Essaouira room had character but no view. It is December and there is no heat so it is very cold. The upstairs balcony view is absolutely stunning and makes this hotel a 5 star. Breakfast was delicious and the woman who served us is very kind.

Riad right in Medina

The riad perfectly located right in the heart of the medina. Was a little difficult to find, but once there we had a nice apartment with plenty of space. Only issue we had was with boiler not working on second day which meant no warm shower. Aside from that, everything was great.

Cute riad located on main road inside the medina

Clean riad conveniently located on one of the main street of the medina and a few steps from good restaurants and the famous steps of Chefchaouen. Great views from the rooftop terrace, clean rooms for a riad. However wifi was either slow or did not work at all. There’s a megaphone right next to the riad so its a bit disruptive during call to prayers especially before sunrise but that’s also part of the experience.

Just OK.

The room we had was along the street on the first floor so it was quite noisy. No WiFi in the room and the WiFi in the hall and lounge had no internet connection. The toilet in our room would not flush well and toilet smelled (which is not unusual for Morocco, our apartment in Casa has a smelly toilet-we keep the door closed and the vent fan on). The price was good and the staff was very nice. I would just like quieter and with internet access.

Riad Rifandalus

Very good location in Medina, close to everything. There are lots of tourists, especially from China. I did not expect that. They seem to be the latest wave as all the vendors would greet you in Chinese or Japanese. If you are Asian, you are marked.

Staff and owner very helpful.

The riad is in the middle of the medina on the main walking street. So very well situated with nice picture spot a few step away. The staff and the owner was very helpful. The riad is very clean. They got a nice vIew from the terrace. They offer a landery service at a acceptable price (most hotel ask way more). When my wife got sick from something she eat in Fez the day before we arrive, the owner was helpful and even gave us his private cell phone number if we needed something.

Good for a short stay

Our stay overall was ok, the view from the top floor is incredible. We booked the room with the private terrace (which was beautiful!) but didn't get wifi (had to stand in the hallway outside in the common area to get wifi). Overall the riad was nice, just needed some updated and minor repairs (our toilet seat was broken, the tiles on the door missing, etc - nothing major just cosmetic). The riad is located in a nice area close by restaurants and shopping. We only stayed one night, so it was totally fine and what we had expected -- the staff was friendly and helpful.

Lovely Riad with kind and gracious hosts.

The Riad is beautiful. Our hosts were so very helpful. They organized a taxi to meet us at the TNG airport at midnight and drive us to Chefchouen ... upon arrival in the middle of the night the driver then walked us to our Riad helping with luggage etc. It was a very welcoming experience to Morroco and the beautiful town in the North. Our room in the Riad was stunning, our hosts provided a gentle atmosphere. We would recommend this Riad to anyone. Thank you to all the staff for making us feel so welcomed and safe.

Beautiful riad in central Chefchahouen

Stayed for a night during our short trip to Chefchahouen, and the riad was absolutely perfect. Check in was easy, they got some details and a photocopy of our passports and gave us our room keys. We even got a room upgrade to the Suite Fes (we had booked a smaller suite for the four of us), and the room was very comfortable and absolutely fabulous - beautifully decorated in every aspect, you could really see from the small details the thought that had gone into the decor. Our suite had a view of the street, which was pretty nice, and when the windows were closed you could really shut out the light and noise from the street. Bathroom was small but clean, with a standing shower, good pressure and responsive hot water. The upstairs terrace was great for breakfast and had a great view of town. Breakfast was a mix of local pastries, cereal and bread. There was also hot coffee and juice, and the staff even brought some hot breakfast to our table. The staff were super friendly, even getting us to dress up in tradition Chefchaouen outfits and insisting on us taking photos in them despite the language barrier. Beautiful place, would definitely stay again!
