Dar Almassir is a riad in the medina of Chefchaouen on Avenue Ben Ajiba Andalous, about one minute on foot from the kasbah and Plaza Uta el-Hammam, which makes it one of the closest stays to the middle of town. The property page lists it as a three-class property and shows five room types: deluxe doubles with a private bathroom, a ground-floor deluxe double, and deluxe triples that sleep three with a queen and a twin bed. That mix is handy for friends travelling together or a small family. Free full breakfast is served each morning, air conditioning and heating are provided, rooms have a private bathroom with shower, hair dryer, towels and toiletries, and the front desk is open around the clock. The guest score is 9.8 from 13 external reviews.
Location and getting around
Place Haouta is about two minutes away, Ras el-Maa park about six and the waterfall about eight. The page also gives distances to Talassemtane National Park and Park Sidi Abdelhamid without measuring them, so ask the staff about the best start for hikes. Tetouan airport is about an hour and a half by road. There is no onsite parking and no elevator, and wifi is listed only in some public areas, so do not rely on it for video calls from your room.
Practical points
Check-in runs from the early afternoon until ten at night and the minimum age is eighteen, so tell the riad in advance if you arrive late from a bus or transfer. Pets are not allowed, extra beds and cribs are not available, onsite parties are prohibited, and a city tax applies per person per night with children under twelve exempt. A government photo ID and a card or cash deposit may be required at check-in. The score is based on a modest number of reviews, so read the latest comments before you commit.
Who it suits
Travellers who want to be able to step out into the square within a minute, small groups who can use a triple room, and couples who like a quiet, compact riad rather than a large hotel. Because the building is small, it is worth asking for the ground-floor double if stairs are a concern.
Spring and autumn weekends book first, so reserve ahead if your dates are fixed. Mornings are best for the kasbah, which is on your doorstep, and the late afternoon for tea on the square before the lanes fill with evening strollers.
