Dar Ba Sidi & Spa

We stayed here for two nights and found it was good to get away from the hustle and bustle of the Blue City. The rooms were spacious but a little dated but the towels and sheets were clean. The outdoor areas were beautiful with the buildings painted in the blues of the city and the gardens were well kept. Breakfast was average and the hotel does not sell drinks and the like so make sure you stock up in the city so you have some supplies with you.

Beautiful setting with the Rif Mountains as a backdrop. The outside space by the pool is skilfully designed with the lovely Chefchaouen blue walls and terracotta roof tiles. Orange, lemon and kumquats trees are scattered around the area. I give this 4* The chef, Tarik Sifat, has to be praised for the delicious spread at dinner and breakfast. There was plenty of choice for vegetarians. When chatting with him, I could tell that he had put a lot of effort in all the various dishes he had prepared. The quinoa salad with argan oil was delicious. I would give the food 5*. The overall 3* rating is because the room and bathroom we stayed in need to be updated and refreshed. The bedding and towels were clean and white though. I would stay there again.

Great grounds, secured behind gate with view to Chefchaouen. Rooms are adequate but very tired and linen well past use by date. Bathroom spacious but dated, toilet bowl stained and cracked, cistern dripping. Could be fabulous. Breakfast below average, staff obliging.

Amazing hotel, delicious food, very welcoming and friendly staff members, the rooms are good with heating AC and it was clean and cozy. close to Chefchaouen Medina and Akchour Waterfalls. Highly recommended if you are staying in Chefchaouen 🇲🇦

The hotel appears attractive although it is in the middle of no where. It has potential but needs some significant improvements to bring it up to standard. Our room was small and the safe did not work and the seat on the toilet shifted when you sat on it giving an unstable feeling. The room had a lovely small balcony but no safety railing protecting you from falling to the ground below. The food in the restaurant was marginal and it is a dry establishment with no alcohol allowed or provided. It is quiet but a long way to get into Chefchaouen.

We booked a tripple room and were put into a family room - a double room and a twin adjoining room. The twin room can only be described as a freezer with beds, it had zero amenities aside from the beds, and no heating which made it completely unusable during the 3 degree celcius nights. The bathroom in the main room was a complete disaster. Once the shower was used, the entire room would flood and the moisture in the room condensed to leave a foul damp smell. The food in the restaurant was average at best, and everything at breakfast was cold (including the tea and coffee) which is far from ideal given the cold weather in December. The restaurant also has no heating so it was heavy jackets at all times. The only saving grace for this place was that the staff in the hotel were reasonably friendly and tried their best to accomodate our requests, but given the poor conditions at this ageing hotel I definitely would not stay here again.
