Very helpful
Pros:

Great welcome from the owner. Insured me my motorcycle would be well looked after. Told me where to go for evening meal. Next morning breakfast was wonderful. He asked me were I was traveling next I told him fez . He asked for the booking and he said he would ring them to check if they have private parking . So he rang there was no booking for me and they where fully booked . I had 10 nights accomodation in different hotels all booked through Aries Moto tours Málaga. He rang every hotel and all had been cancelled by Andrea Romagnolo the owner over a dispute I had with his maps and pin code on a Chinese smart phone he rents with the 10 day tour. Avoid Aries Moto tours . So thanks to hotel Al khalifa for helping me and saving me more wasted time due to Aries ripoff tours .

Great nights stop on our motorbike tour
Pros:

Great hotel in a perfect spot . We were on a motorbike tour of Morocco and stayed at this lovely hotel .spotlessly clean and well run. Upon our arrival we were met by our host who welcomed us with a well earned refreshment . We parked our bikes in the secure free parking in front of the hotel . In the evening we sat on the roof terrace to watch the sunset over the mountain opposite . We were near the centre of town so had our evening meal after a short walk there to a restaurant recommended by the hotel , a great recommendation I must add.
We had a comfortable night in our room and the facilities were good.
The breakfast was first class and suitably fortified and rested we continued our journey ,
Remembering this lovely hotel .

Motorbike parking, comfortable rooms, fantastic host.
Pros:

What a fantastic place!
The owner made us feel very at home and allowed us to park our motorbikes in his private driveway.
Hotel is a short (hilly) walk down into the main town and a long (hilly) walk back!
The room was more than adequate and comfortable and quiet.
The owner told us of places to visit and was very informative. They run yoga and medication type classes as well.
Breakfast was brilliant and more than adequate.
We wanted to leave a tip but the owner asked us to donate it to his cat charity instead, which we also topped up with some shop bought cat food from across the road! Fear not, we didn't see any cats in the hotel.

Nice option in Chefchaouen
Pros:

Hotel located outside the Medina about 10 minute walk. Parking is close by.. Rooms are small but adequate. Wi-Fi is good. There is terrace with a nice view of the town. Breakfast was typical. Service is good. There are couple of stores across the street for basics but you will need walk into town for cafe or restaurant.

wonderful hotel
Pros:

This hotel is just outside the medina on the side of a mountain. It’s an easy five minute walk to the main square and lots of restaurants. It’s very quiet Noor, the innkeeper, was very gracious and helpful. The rooms are not fancy but are spacious and quiet. Breakfast is the typical moroccan breakfast with several different types of bread, an egg, olives, and a sweet treat
The view from the rooftop terrace at sunset is fantastic.

Lovely riad located on the top side of the town. Easy walking distance to main attractions. Three floors with no elevator but staff are friendly and welcoming and happy to assist with luggage. Parking about 100m away at public carpark.

Pros:

We arrived at 9pm. Hotel is in a quiet area, 10m away from the Medina. It’s a basic hotel but the staff is very exceptional and caring. They couldn’t find my reservation through Expedia but the manager still let us stay that night, even upgrade our twin room to suite. Thanks Al Khalifa.

Great location, great comfort, and friendly and helpful staff.
Pros:

Excellent location, close to the center of town but also close to the Spanish Mosque which has a superb view of the whole city.
The proprietor, Nour, spoke excellent English and was very helpful in answering questions and providing suggestions.
We stayed in a huge room, actually it was two rooms (on the 2nd floor), and was very comfortable.
The view from the terrace (roof) was most excellent.
Breakfast was included and all the employees were very friendly and helpful.

Convenient location but quite basic hotel.
Pros:

Very conveniently located hotel, on the edge of the Medina, so a taxi from the bus station can drop you off at the door. Staff were excellent, friendly and very helpful. Even supplied an umbrella.
Our room, was a good size with lots of space but had quite a bare feel to it, (more like an upmarket hostel).... the beds were comfortable, (apart from the hard pillows), with white cotton sheets. The towels were changed after our first day, which was a pleasant surprise. The whole hotel is very clean.
The bathroom is in need of updating and the shower is cramped and painted a dark brown..... not pleasant.
The roof terrace has good views over Chefchaouen.
Building site right outside.... to be fair this is outside the control of the hotel and it was not noisy.
Breakfast was okay, breads, jam, omelette and concentrate orange juice.
The staff arranged a taxi for us to the bus station on departure.
In summary, the location and staff are very good but for the price it does not come close to the many other accomodations we have stayed in around Morocco, many for much less in cost. I realise Chefchaouen is a tourist hot-spot but it baffles me where all the high ratings come from...,, perhaps it's as you check out they "ask" for a 10 rating. !!!
