Casa El Haouta

This was a good value for a riad in Chefchaouen. The staff member who was on duty most of the time was friendly and spoke pretty good English (he also spoke Arabic, Spanish and French from what could tell). The location was nice too, it in the medina and was close to the main square and most of the town's attractions, yet it was situated on a somewhat less traveled street so it was relatively quiet and peaceful. Their breakfast was good as well, somewhat basic but solid nonetheless. The Wi-Fi was decent as well The room was pretty nice overall. Again, this was basic accommodation so the beds and linens and fixtures were a bit old, but it was clean and comfortable. My room didn't have a view unfortunately, but all the other rooms (which I saw after people had checked out) looked like their had windows, so I guess it's luck of the draw.

The bathroom was old and dated. The shower had trouble maintaining a temperature, with wild temperature swings. You kind of had to time the swings and get out of the way before it got too cold or too hot, using that time to soap yourself. And as for the soap, I'd highly recommend you going to the nearby store to buy a bar. The free bars of soap they provided were nearly impossible to work up a lather and they felt like they had hard rocky pieces in them. Although the rooftop area was nice, the covered section of the roof was small. The roof is where they served breakfast, and the enclosed breakfast room was small, so in the event of rain it could feel quite crowded for breakfast. But in good weather or at non-peak breakfast times, that wouldn't be a problem.

The room and the place is just wonderful, nicely decorated, with an amazing breakfast, nice view from the terrace, a good and local vibe ( from the window you can hear at night the children playing football on the street until the parents tell them to enter the house). The guy from the reception (I can't remember his name, sorry, but the one with all the good reviews ) is very welcoming and happy to help us with anything ( he even upgraded our room, from 2 single beds to one king bed). We felt amazing there, the decorations are incredibly beautiful. White bedsheets, AC, room very clean. We stayed only for one night, but for the style, the paintings, feeling like a local, I will choose this place again and recommend it with all my heart! It is in the center, very easy to reach from the bus station, just follow the instructions. Near a lady that makes the most authentic Moroccan pies. Thank you again and hope to see you soon!

The bathroom , as many riads in Morocco, has an old appearance, with walls a bit weird (maybe because of the humidity). Just a basic bathroom, with hot water. For us it didn't matter that much, because we only spent 1 night and the room was incredibly beautiful as in the photos. As a recommandation: use liquid soap in a dispenser (not the single use small solid soaps, very impractical).

Very friendly staff, excellent breakfast

The room was quite dark, but that's how these riads are... so nothing bad really.

Its very close to everything as its in the Medina

There was a lot of noise because of the local kids and a fight that i had to shout at them from the window.Sometimes no respect.
