Very unique property next to very beautiful streets great for picture taking. Short walk to plaza or taxi center. Food is best in plaza square.

Some things were disappointing. I scheduled a taxi pick up with Mohammed from the airport in Tanger days before. He confirmed and told me the name of the driver. I provided flight information. Tanger is two hours away and when we arrived there was no transportation as promised. I called Mohammed ahout 10 times in whatsapp and he never picked up. After waiting one hour I called the hotel and asked what happened. They figured something out and sent a car but waited a total time of 1.5 hours. This was unacceptable and when we arrived we were not offered tea or water as a greeting especially after what they had done. Later we asked Mohammad for a restaurant recommendation that was good and not touristy and he recommended a very touristy place where they got commission. We were very dissatisfied with the food and recommendation. Don't ask for recommendations, just eat in the square it is best.

I had a nice stay. They upgraded my room. I had a nice fire lit that warmed the space nicely. This is an old Berber property and rustic. It's lovely.

Nice place, great breakfast!

This is a lovely place in a good location inside the medina. The staff is friendly and very attentive. The bed was comfortable. Breakfast was great! The one downside was that the bathroom was tiny. We enjoyed our stay.

I didn’t feel like a hotel guest, I felt that the hotel staff treated me as if I was a guest at their own house not a hotel client, I traveled to 20+ countries but I had the best breakfast ever in this hotel, I also had the warmest friendly welcome and assistance during my stay. I also regret booking two nights only, next time I shall stay for a week!

Riad and a view

Great place! Many tourists (like me) take photos right outside the Riad...really pretty:)
Breakfast is great and all the staff were truly helpful. Youssef stood out because he’s really nice and took the time to talk to me and the other guests. The terrace in my room (#5) is one of my favorite hang out spots. What a view! Highly recommended.

Chefchaoen was definitely our favorite place on our journey. Gharnata was gorgeous and the mountain views and rooftop terrace were impeccable. We loved it and would definitely stay here again if we ever go back:)

Location is nice. Room was small. Wifi was slow. On the second day, we had to ask twice for the towels to be changed after we found out there was no cleaning service during the day. Tried to overcharge us for additional beds and we had to present booking confirmation to argue. There is also a \"tax\" for paying by credit cards. After we decided to pay by dh, the rate is 1 euro=11 dh. (Riads we stayed in Fes used 1:10.7)

In centre of medina

You will have to walk to the Riad as vehicles are not allowed inside the old walled city - alleys are too narrow anyway. Be prepared to walk many stairs. Many locals there ready to carry your bags for fee. Short walks from Riad to every attraction make it ideal place to go.

Very nice

Riad Gharnata is very nice. We booked a large looking room and ended up being placed in a very small room, which waa disappointing. However, other rooms seemed very large and the overall place is very clean, pretty and excellently located. Would highly recommend!

Loud and Unclean

If any of you have read reviews about this Riad and how they scammed people, you should believe because it happened to us. We wanted to try because of the location. However, everything else was unprofessional from the moment we checked in until the moment we checked out.
We booked a double room, upon arrivals, because of reading too many reviews, we asked for the confirmation to make sure we get/pay what we booked, the host kept saying \" dont worry, relax first\" and pushed us into a suite. We thought he was being nice and gave us a free upgrade. One hour went by, when we got settled, the host came and talked to us about the extra $ for breakfast which was supposed to be included. At this time, we realized something was wrong and really pushed the host to disclose the price of this room and confirm our booking. He immediately moved us to a different room, which is fine but what if we didnt ask and had to pay 3 times more than we wanted the next morning. I gave them a frown face for checking in experience and the host confronted me when checking out and sent me an email to ask \"WHY??\" but at this time, we were over it and just wanted out. The room was dirty, very very loud because not isolate well. We did not have a good sleep and good time at all.

Beautiful Riad in the heart of the Blue City

Getting to the hotel was very easy but required some walking on steep cobbled steps - had to leave the car behind in the main square! This was no trouble as we knew chefchaouen to have many steps and alleyways. The reception we received was nice and we were able to see our room before it was ready (we arrived earlier than the stated check in time). The Riad itself is beautiful and amazingly furnished and clean. Our room had all amenities including a small fridge and television and even a small sink on the ground floor - very moroccan and very authentic furnishings. The only downside was the size of the room - even though there were two single beds and one double bed to accommodate 4 people there was not much room for walking around and everything was rather squashed however this is to be expected from all Riads and should not put anyone off from staying at this beautiful Riad. All in all a very cute and beautifully authentic room. Breakfast was also superb and included all the trimmings - service was also impeccable. If you are looking for an authentic moroccan experience with great service then this is the Riad to stay in Chefchaouen!

Character accommodation in great location

Beautiful hotel but the room we booked to sleep four people was cramped. Better suited for two people or two adults with small children as the additional beds were narrow, short and extremely hard. In hindsight we should have booked two rooms. The Manager was very helpful in arranging a taxi to the waterfall and a transfer to Tangier at a reasonable price. Breakfast was disappointing, eggs, crepes and orange juice were good but let down by stale bread and a tiny amount of coffee. Probably a staffing issue as we asked for more coffee on two mornings and it never arrived. On our third and last morning we asked for an 8am breakfast, woke the staff member at 7.50am but at 8.15 am when we went looking for the breakfast, the staff member was still in bed. This meant that our driver to Tangier, organised by the hotel, had to wait for us. Just a couple of issues that could easily be sorted by hotel but overall a lovely stay.

lovely Riad in a good location (beware sofa beds)

Stayed for 3 days - all very nice and easy

Riad itself is very nice and our room had a fantastic balcony and so all lovely

My one complaint is that the sofa / spare beds in each room (I was travelling with a friend and so needed twin rooms) was really hard to the point of being very uncomfortable and was never made up properly to sleep on (I would have to do it myself)

The staff was great and the views are breathtaking. The only problem with the room was it seemed a bit dirty and could use some updating. If you go to Riad be prepared to climb up to the door. Cars can only reach a certain point and you have to climb the rest of the way. Pack light.

Mixed bag, with some great elements

This guest house has a beautiful courtyard reminiscent of Andalucia, and two beautiful terraces where you can take their delicious breakfast with a view of the mountains. The staff was helpful, especially Muhammad at the reception, who helped me tie a rug I'd bough onto my rolling suitcase. The problems, however, were many: very hard to find, even in a smallish medina like Chefchaouen. Signs on nearby alleys would be very useful to the weary traveler, as would a littlee map given to guests. My room, the Rkia (sp?) suite, was very strange, with no room to move around the bed upstairs, and nearly impossible to sit on the toilet, the space was so tight. There was also not a wastebasket in anywhere in the two-story suite. Also, my room wasn't made up/cleaned the second day I was there. Weird, but beautiful outside the room. It looked like other rooms were much nicer, with one on top being absolutely amazing, with private terrace, etc.

石造りの建物が素敵なリヤド

これはこのリヤドの問題ではなさそうですが… 他人の名前で予約されているということでチェックインに手間取りましたが、お部屋やサービスはとても良かったです。
こじんまりしていますが、お部屋はかわいらしく、なんと言っても石造りの建物が素敵！明るい日差しが差し込む中庭で食べる朝食も美味しいしく、幸せな気持ちになりました。お値段もお手頃だし、オススメです。

Lovely Riad!

We staid for one night in this very nice riad. The staff was kind and helpful, they speak different languages too. The room was actually a small apartment on two floors, was clean and with all the necessary. The common areas were beautiful, with an amazing terrace where to have breakfast with the mountain view.

Riad molto bello in centro a chefchaouen

Vicino al riad si trova un parcheggio, poi si può raggiungere a piedi, camera piccola ma funzionale, pulita e con due finestre con vista medina. Colazione molto buona e completa. Consiglio questo riad per un soggiorno caratteristico nella città di Chefchaouen

雰囲気は抜群｡その他も不満なし｡

客室は利便性よりも雰囲気を重視したメルヘンチックなもの(部屋ごとにインテリアが違うとのことなので自分が泊まった部屋がそうだっただけかもしれないが)。テラスからの眺めは抜群。スタッフもフレンドリーで親しみやすい。朝食は8時からなので､朝7時のシャウエン発カサブランカ行のバスに乗る日は食べられない｡せっかくシャウエンを訪れたのであれば､泊まるところにもこだわりたいという人にはぜひお勧めしたい｡

こじんまりとしたアットホームな宿

タンジェ新港からシャウエンまでタクシーで移動しました。宿はシャウエンの旧市街の中。周りの人に聞かないと見つけられません。
宿のスタッフさんは親切でお勧めのお店を教えてくれたり、翌日に12時タンジェ新港に戻らないといけない旨を伝えたら、朝ごはんの時間やタクシーの手配をしてくれました。
アットホームで感じの良い宿でした。
