“worst experience ever, don't stay here”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2012

people found this review helpful

Don't stay here. They say it's the best hotel in Chaouen. I can't imagine the worst. Living room is simply falling to pieces, old and dirty couches. The room is small and dark, with no view at all. The blanket is stiff, so old it is and please see the pictures for the small, dirty and filled with holes towels. Terrible pillows and our bed was in front of a window that led to the corridor, with no curtains, which meant that the light was on our faces for the whole night and there was nothing we could do about it. And the bathroom not only is small, but we took the worst and coldest shower ever: water was spilling everywhere so we had to deattach the end so there would be SOME water. getting out, cold bathroom, small, dirty gross towels. there's no internet in the room, only in the unconfortable lobby so we had to stay downstairs for it (in front of an opened staff room, "private" but very messy. downstairs it was terribly cold, it was impossible to stay, no heating besides ONE fireplace (and the lobby is quite big). we had to sit near it, with outside clothes to stand the cold, and to make matters worse there was a group there, and they were loud, screaming from the lobby to the rooms that were one or 2 floors up, and to use the internet near the fire we had to stand that. and for me the worst thing was that someone from the hotel passed by the lobby and offered some mint tea. it's common being offered tea everywhere, and when that happens, it's not charged, it's a cultural thing for moroccans. well, not only he offered, but as soon as he handed us the tea, instead of putting it in the bill, if they really need to charge it, he asked for the money right away. as if everyone went to the lobby for internet with money... such a rude gesture, I've never seen a hotel ask for money as soon as you purchase something, unless it's a very big hotel and filled with outside visitors. not the case. asking our room number would've been enough (leaving aside the fact that I think they didn;t need to charge for that). at lunchtime our guide took us to a restaurant and the food wasn't good, the service was unbearable, it took us hours to eat and have ordered 5 times water and the waiter didn't bring (and in the end it was billed). it took more than ONE HOUR for the food to arrive, and the restaurant was not busy. for our surprise, the restaurant included for dinner "in the hotel" was the same one, outside of the hotel. again it took us hours and this time we got water, and the water costed 20 dirhams. the water we didn't get at lunch it only costed 15...

“Rustic and a little Quirky”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2012

person found this review helpful

We spent one night in the hotel in December 2011. It is convenient to the car park and right in the middle of the medina. The rooms were small, but had a lot of character with interesting decorations. The bathroom was tiny and had older fixtures. The breakfast was typical of the riads we stayed at in Morocco and the front desk and restaurant staff were very helpful.

The hotel was not luxurious and the some of the amenities could use some updating, but for us it was part of the charm of the place. It was more interesting and human than some soul-less Hyatt or Hilton hotel. We really felt like we were in Morocco.

We ate at the hotel restaurant across the street and it was fine, but we were not sure why it was so highly rated on Trip Advisor.

As an aside, we had a city tour with a guide named Abdul-Salaam and he was awesome. He took us to areas outside the medina and showed us more than the typical blue of Chefchaouen. He is a community activist and seemed to know every third person on the street. If you want a tour guide the hotel should be able to get you in touch with him.

“cozy and characteristic...”

i spent 2 nights in this place... the room was nice and clean...
they have 2 different buildings and differend kind of rooms...
is really morocco style: the hall is a courtyard with fireplace and also in the restaurant you can see the kitchen and when they are cooking.
casa hassan is right in the center of the medina.
they offer half boarding for a fair price. the breakfast is not the best, but the restaurant for the dinner is good enough.
the staff is really really friendly and helpfull.

“We Enjoyed this Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 December 2011

The rooms were interestingly decorated in Moroccan motifs, the beds were fine and so were the bathrooms. Yes, a few things were a bit worn but overall we had a very good experience here. They had a lovely sitting room with real fireplace. Not to be missed is a massage in the in house Hammam. The breakfasts were good as well as the service. Many people on this site have complained about this place but we stayed here for 3 nights and had an excellent experience. Recommend.

“Good location but in need of a complete upgrade and avoid the restaurant”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 August 2011

person found this review helpful

Close to the main center of the medina and the car park, pleasant staff, only limited street noise at night. For our first night we were told that it was a half board deal, so we had dinner at their restaurant, which must be avoided since the food is an insult to moroccan cuisine (we live in Moroccco - see my other review about their restaurant). A lot of fixtures and curtains missing in the room, damp rot around the sink, broken tables and chairs in the breakfast area. This riad was once advertised by Conde Nast, probably many years ago and anyway it is hard to believe it was ever up to a 'boutique hotel' standard. Try Dar Echaouen instead, the pool looked fantastic in the heat of summer!
