Maison d'hôtes Afassi, Chefchaouen — Hotel in Chefchaouen

Maison d’hotes Afassi has been one of the most cutest stud we had in Morocco. We have enjoyed all of the properties in our two week, meeting wonderful staff across the country. Maison d’hotes Afassi was a little more special because it is family owned and operated. From all the questions we had before our arrival to the minute we walked in the door, Ahmed was an amazing host. He explained all the features of the hotel AND the information about Chefchaouan that we would need during our stay. The hotel is beautifully decorated… as we’re all the properties we stayed at! But you can feel this property had extra love into the building because it is their own business. Mom rubs the kitchen, dad is the magic that makes sure everything is on and watches over everyone from a distance, and Ahmad and Asia are the icing on the cake for customer service!

This hotel is not in the Madina as we’re other properties we selected on Morocco… we specifically picked Maison d’hotes Afassi because of the review and the view from the rooftop!!! Gorgeous sunrise and sunset views!!! The old Madina was simply a 10 minute walk from the hotel and simply a 5 minute walk from the CTM bus terminal. You’ll find other properties in the madina are buried in the madina. They are very very cute but unlike other madinas, they are not easy to get to especially if you have luggage. 90% of Chefchaouan is walking up or down… so keep in mind of the location that you choose as these were important factors for us.

Dining in the Madina is affordable depending on your budget. However just outside the Madina on our walk to and from the hotel there are a few local restaurants that are even more affordable.

As is always the case, we will miss our new friends that we met at Maison d’hotes Afassi, just as much as we will miss the peaceful panoramic echos of the mosques calling for prayer that you are memorized in listening to from the rooftop patio of the Maison d’hotes Afassi.

Thank you Ahmed!!!

The hotel is conveniently located just a 5-minute walk from the CTM bus station and about a 25-minute walk from the main attractions of the city.|I was genuinely pleased with my stay and would love to share my experience. Before my arrival, I messaged the hotel to inform them I would be arriving around 7 PM. Ahmed promptly replied, kindly offering to meet me at the bus station to help with my luggage in case I had many bags — a gesture I truly appreciated.|Upon check-in, my wife was warmly welcomed with a rose and we were offered two bottles of water. They also sent us a helpful itinerary via WhatsApp with recommendations for places to visit during our stay.|Breakfast was homemade and delicious, and the kitchen staff were not only friendly but also brought a great sense of fun and joy to the mornings.|On the day of our checkout, the hotel kindly stored our luggage while we explored the city a bit more. When we returned to wait for our bus, we were invited to relax near reception. Nihad generously offered us tea and even invited us to join the hotel staff for a traditional Moroccan lunch.|Before we left, they once again gifted us a rose and bottles of water for our journey, which was such a thoughtful touch.|A heartfelt thank you to the wonderful team at the reception — Ahmed, Simo, and Nihad — for their professionalism, warmth, and genuine dedication to guest satisfaction. Your hospitality made our stay truly...

We had the pleasure of staying one night at Maison D’hôtes Afassi in Chefchaouen, and it was an unforgettable experience. Finding the riad was a bit tricky since GPS doesn’t work well in the area, but Ahmed personally came to meet us, guided us to the hotel, and immediately impressed us with his charisma and kindness.

Ahmed went above and beyond by preparing a thoughtful itinerary so we could explore Chefchaouen efficiently without wasting time. He even provided a list of restaurant recommendations covering different cuisines. His hospitality truly sets this place apart.

After a long day of driving and walking around the city for 2–3 hours, we were completely exhausted. Instead of heading back out, I messaged Ahmed, and he kindly arranged a meal for us — another gesture that showed how much he cares for his guests.

I tend to notice the smallest details, and I can honestly say the rooms and riad were impeccably clean. Even the grout between the tiles looked spotless and fresh, which is rare to find.

Breakfast the next morning felt like a home-cooked meal, lovingly prepared warm, fresh, and absolutely delicious.

I cannot think of a single negative thing about our stay. Everything exceeded expectations, from the cleanliness to the hospitality. Maison D’hôtes Afassi is truly a gem in Chefchaouen, and I highly...
