A well-located Bab Souk guesthouse blending Andalusian design and blue-medina craftsmanship, rooms run small.

Hotel Dar Chefchaouen sits in the Bab Souk quarter, right by the gate of the same name — arguably the best pure location-to-price ratio of the properties in this batch, with no need for a car or a long luggage walk. It's a 3-star guesthouse in blue-toned, Andalusian-influenced style, with a restaurant, rooftop terrace, free bikes and a shared lounge.

The recurring honest complaint is the bathrooms: multiple reviewers describe them as very small, flooding after showers due to absent curtains and undersized windows. There's no lift, and taxis can only reach partway up the surrounding alleys. Pool status is genuinely conflicting — several guest reviews mention a swimming pool, but this isn't confirmed on the hotel's own listing, so it's treated here as unconfirmed rather than guaranteed.
