Where can I eat near Casa Sabila?

You're right in the old town, so plenty of dining is a short walk away. Try Cafe Restaurant Sofia, about 400 meters from the hotel, for traditional Moroccan dishes. For Italian food, Pizzeria Mandala is a popular pick, roughly 550 meters away. Other nearby options include Restaurant Chez Fouad, Restaurant Snack Shokri, and Restaurant Beldi Bab Ssour. You can also head to the main square, a 4-minute walk, where several casual eateries cluster around Plaza Uta el Hamman.

What is the area around Casa Sabila like?

The hotel sits in Chefchaouen’s historical Old Town, right in the heart of the blue-washed medina. You’re a 4-minute walk from the Chefchaouen Medina and Plaza Uta el Hamman, and 6 minutes from Place El Haouta. The Ras El Ma spring is about 250 meters away, and the Kasbah Ethnographic Museum is just around the corner. The main square and bus station are within a short stroll, making the area feel central and lively. Souika market is about a 5-minute walk, and the town centre itself is under 10 minutes on foot.

How do I get to Casa Sabila from the airport or main train station?

The nearest airport is Sania Ramel (TTU), about 69 km away, with Tangier Ibn Batouta about 123 km. From the bus station a 15-minute walk or a short petit taxi ride brings you to the medina, and Casa Sabila is just inside, off Rue Ibn Asskar. The hotel offers a paid airport shuttle and also provides airport pickup and drop-off, so you can arrange a direct transfer. If coming by shared taxi or CTM bus, the station sits at the base of town; walk uphill or take a petit taxi to the medina's edge. A pre-booked shuttle or a local taxi are the simplest ways to cover the final stretch.

Casa Sabila sits right in the heart of Chefchaouen, a 4-minute walk from the Medina and Plaza Uta el Hamman, and 6 minutes from Place El Haouta. Kasbah Museum and Souika are just around the corner, so you can start exploring immediately. The main bus station is a short walk away, making it easy to connect to other towns. For the Akchour Waterfalls, you will need a car, taxi, or an organized excursion, as they are about 11-12 km out of town. Being this close to the old city’s main sights makes it a practical spot to return to between explorations.

This place was adorable. I visited Chefchaouen with my mom and had a lovely time. The riad was charming and the hosts were very friendly. Upon arriving, our driver called the riad and two gentlemen helped us with our bags to the riad. We were dropped off at the Parador hotel and it was a bit of a hike up from the drop off point. I would recommend having help with your bags. We booked a triple room which had a double bed and a daybed in the sleeping area and another single bed in a separate area. It was nice and spacious and provided both of us with privacy. It was almost like having two separate rooms with an open door separating us. I was expecting the room to be small and was pleasantly surprised with the spaciousness. In addition, the shower was warm and the water pressure was great. The walls are very thick which keeps the riad cool, which I appreciated. In addition, the air conditioner worked very well. I tend to overheat at night but there were no concerns with respect to any temperature control issues in this riad. There is a mosque next door and you will hear the morning prayer, but you will really hear the prayers all over town. I do not think this will be specific to this riad as I believe Chefchaouen has multiple mosques. Breakfast was hearty and warm. Service starts at 8:30am. They served scrambled eggs, toast, nan bread, and an English muffin with jams and spreads. There was also juice and tea served. I am incredibly happy with my stay. I would stay here again if I visit Chefchaouen in the future and will recommend to friends and family.

We loved this! Nice location in a more quiet street, but still a quick walk from the center of the medina. You’ll need to walk with luggage from the road. We walked to the CTM bus station, about 30 min, or a 10 min taxi and then walking. Rooms were clean, amenities were nice and as listed (AC, breakfast, luggage storage, hairdryer, etc). Service was very kind and the breakfast was probably the best we have had while in Morocco!

Lovely guest house located in the heart of blue city! We were absolutely amazed by it's romantic style and coziness. The room was well equipped and clean.We had the tastiest moroccan breakfast at the lovely terrace under the grape trees. The location was also more than convenient and easy to find. The hotel team was very hospitable and warm welcoming, many thanks to them. Overall it was a great experience, I can highly recommend Casa Sabila for your wonderful Chefchaouen holiday 😉

Chefchouen has always been a dream destination for me since I first saw a photo many years ago. On the eve of my 60th, I decieded it was time. I did a lot of research on hotels and read many reviews, and settled on Casa Sabila. I certainly was not dissapointed! Such a hospitable, gratious and accomodating property! I extended my stay by a day as soon as I got there. I honestly didn't want to leave. The city is such a special place, the hotel was beautiful, the rooms were lovely, and the staff was over the top with service. Whether you needed a cold bottle of water, a pot of coffee, or just a chat about the history of the city, they were happy to be there to help. Such a welcoming place, you feel immediatly comfortable and know you will be taken care of. Badr and the manager, Imad, always made sure we were taken care of and were enjoying our stay. Can't wait to return to Casa Sabila!

Friendly staff and great breakfast on the rooftop! We had a very small room, and since it was cold, pack warm clothes. But overall, preis-leistungs verhältniss hat gestimmt!

We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Sabila. The people there were nice and helpful from the time we got there until we left (1 night stay). Breakfast was good, they helped me when I had phone issues, and even called someone to give us a 1/2 day tour at a good price. The location was nice, also. Just know ahead of time, there is a long, somewhat uphill walk from the parking area; pretty much the same for all lodging there, I believe. You can tip some young guys to carry your bags, if needed. I would stay here again.
