The location in general was good, but the stairs to reach it were a surprise (and challenge). Great views from the terrace and rooftop. There was plenty of hot water and decent wifi. The decor is nice and It was very clean. It got cold at night, but the heat system was good. Everything was walkable from the dar though half the medina is climbing uneven stairs up and down. Amina was a sweetheart. Her breakfasts were good with some variations each day (she makes her own bread!).

The stairs leading up to the dar. Two other guests hired someone to carry their luggage up. I only had a backpack, but it was heavy. I was unable to do the stairs with it on my back (no handrails and stairs are uneven) and it was awkward and a bit time consuming to lug it up step by step. Luckily, you only arrive with luggage once! Just be prepared. Many dars in Chefchaouen have similar issues. There were stairs all over the medina, but no problem if you are not carrying luggage (and no knee problems).

Very romantic place. Host of great gentleness, gorgeous breakfast

Too small the room and the bed as well. you will have to walk for a while through the souk to reach the hotel but it will be very easy to get some help from the locals to carry your luggage for the equivalent of a euro.

A gorgeously decorated Riad in the heart of Chefchaouen. Pretty doors, pretty bedrooms, lovely terrace. Ahmed was nice but his wife was even nicer. Her recommendations proved more trustworthy and she was endlessly helpful (laundry, early breakfast, staggered breakfasts). The terrace has a great view overlooking Chefchaouen. The place only has a handful of bedrooms so it feels like a boutique hotel. The breakfast was lovely.

Apart from the terrace, the main space downstairs is not really a place to hangout. The terrace was too hot in August and as the bedrooms are very small, that means there is nowhere really to hang out. I thought the kitchen was for our use but it did not feel like that. I did not like the Twins restaurant Ahmed sent us to on our first night as it had only tourists in it and a menu stretching from tacos to burgers via tagines (the one his wife had recommended, which we went to after, was brilliant), and I felt a bit too pushed towards his preferred carpet shop on the main square.

Ahmed and his wife are very nice hosts. You are treated with lovely Moroccan tea on arrival. We contacted Ahmed on our way to Chefchaouen and he sent his son to help us with the car park (paid 20MAD for one-night for the parking). Prepare to walk uphill with few stairs, which was fine for us but some might struggle. The Dar is located right on top of the one of the most photographed place in Chefchaouen (Callejon El Asri), with plenty of shops all within walking distance. Nice views from the rooftop terrace.

The bathrooms are really small (found it a bit difficult to move around) but I guess this is standard for properties in Chefchaouen. Also, unfortunately, electricity went out in the morning during our stay (apparently electricity was down in all of Chefchaouen without any prior notice), although this is not the fault of the property (Ahmed's wife still managed to serve us nice breakfast without electricity). Nevertheless, this will not stop us from staying in this property again.

Three things are great: amazing rooftop Terrance for sunrise or sunset. Great location at top of the Medina (get a taxi to drop you above the place and walk down 5 mins) and excellent value for money. (Much nicer than some other more expensive places we stayed in Morocco).

I liked my stay at Dar Aldea. I stayed 3 nights. The location is perfect and very safe. In heart of the medina and close to all the more famous monuments and places to visite. But carfull you have to climb some staires (around 50 maybe) before you get there. So ask for help to the owners. They were very helpfull and very welcoming. And I thank them again for the soup, tea...and all the little attention towards me. The room I had was ok for 1 personn. The bedroom tiny but a very good bed. And a beautifull bathroom and bath! The decoration is very authentique and the house very nice. Also I like the breakfast. Very typical from Morocco.

In my bathroom I had pipe smell problems.

I highly recommend staying at this hotel for anyone visiting Chefchaouen. The location cannot be beat as it is just next to the famous Instagram point Jasmine cafe and just a 5-minute walk from Kasba, the main square. The dar and rooms are cute and cosy, providing a comfortable home away from home. However, what truly sets this hotel apart is the incredible hospitality of the hosts, Ahmed and Amina. They treated us like family, going out of their way to make our stay extra special. They even invited us to break their evening Ramadan fast with them, which was an unforgettable experience. When we had trouble with our cab, they went above and beyond to help us out. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a welcoming and comfortable stay in Chefchaouen.

The location was perfect, right in the middle of the old town Medina. The only thing that you have to be aware of is that the cars will not be able to get to the house so pack light :) The entire family who worked at the facility were very nice, trying to help me get around and cooking a great breakfast for me. I enjoyed the time staying there and making friends with the house management as well as the owner. Great people!!!

Owners are truly welcoming and caring! They made our stay special! The lady of the house makes the best orange juice there is! Rooms are very small but beds are very comfortable! The roof terrace provides more then enough space to relax. The owners arranged for a great and much needed massage, hammam, and made sure we felt comfortable during our stay. If you visit the city, this is the place to stay, just mind the parking situation.

Parking, street is bit away and parking is very challenging. However, the city itself is a true tourist trap! Do your homework!

Ahmed and Amina were wonderful hosts. Felt just like family. Decor is colorful, quaint Moroccan, impeccably clean. Amina made great breakfasts every morning and even washed and folded some of our clothes for a very reasonable fee. Ahmed helped us get acclimated to Chefchaouen the first night by taking us down to the main square and he found a great driver to take us to Casablanca airport. Highly recommend!

Rooms a little small but that is typical for Chefchaouen.
