Dar Dadicilef

Dar Dadicilef is a budget-category guest house in the Old Town (medina) of Chefchaouen, in Morocco's Rif Mountains. The listing gives the address only as the medina, with the exact street shown on the booking confirmation, so guests should expect to be met or sent directions along the narrow, stepped lanes. Chefchaouen was founded in 1471 as a fortress and later settled by Andalusian refugees, and its blue-washed walls, arched doorways and tiled roofs make the medina one of Morocco's most photographed old towns. From a central address, Plaza Uta el-Hammam, the kasbah and the craft and weaving shops are within a short walk, and trails lead from the edge of town to the Spanish Mosque viewpoint. The town has no airport or railway, so visitors arrive by road from Tangier, Tetouan or Fes. Guests rate the property 9.2 out of 10 on ma-hotels.net (2026), with nightly rates from about 120 MAD (roughly US$13), varying by season and room type, which is among the lowest prices in the city and suggests dormitory or very simple private rooms; visitors should confirm room types, shared or private bathrooms and bedding when booking. Breakfast, if included, is normally Moroccan bread, olives, jam, eggs and mint tea, and the medina has many inexpensive cafes and small restaurants serving tagine, couscous, harira soup and grilled meats, as well as fresh juices and street snacks. Service in budget houses tends to be informal and friendly, with hosts offering tips on hiking to Akchour waterfalls, the Talassemtane National Park, and the buses to Tetouan, Tangier and Fes. The property suits backpackers, solo travellers and anyone seeking a minimal-cost base inside the old town rather than amenities such as a spa or pool. Spring and autumn offer the most comfortable weather, while winter nights are cold and damp, so visitors should check for heating or extra blankets.
