Hotel Molino Garden

“Tranquille and characterful”

I had the smallest, cheapest room in the hotel as it was fully booked. But it was perfectly fine; a comfortable bed (though I always travel with my own cotton linen!) breazy with windows looking out over the garden and mountain.

I had the smallest, cheapest room in the hotel as it was fully booked. But it was perfectly fine; a comfortable bed (though I always travel with my own cotton linen!) breazy with windows looking out over the garden and mountain. The staff are lovely, so helpful and welcoming and the place immaculate. Yasin kindly orgaised a lady to henna my hair on the roof terrace and directed me to a great local hamam. Eating at the excellent attached El Cielo restarant was perfection.

When you arrive to hotel walking through the narrow and beautiful streets of “Quartier Sebanine” in the old Medina you really feel you are in a fairy tale. It is so pretty my jaw dropped. I was met by Bader who was extremely kind, welcoming and helpful. The hotel is full of small passages and well decorated nooks all in with great taste. My room was on the third floor. Well ventilated, it had all the essentials for comfortable stay, AND THE VIEW was fantastic!! It made me feel likeI didn’t want to go anywhere else.

Nestled within the mesmerizing blue city of Chefchaouen, Morocco, lies a hidden oasis of tranquility and beauty - the Hotel Molino Garden. During a three-night visit in July, my wife and I were captivated not only by the enchanting charm of Chefchaouen but also by the unique allure of our chosen accommodation. Chefchaouen, with its picturesque blue-painted buildings, is a haven for travelers seeking an escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life. This quaint city is surrounded by natural wonders, and its rich history is exemplified by attractions like the old mosque, Sabanin, and the neighboring school named after the 18th-century Muslim theologian Soulayman El Hawat. The neighborhood's watermills, notably the hotel's previous incarnation as a watermill, serve as a testament to the city's ancient past. Our chosen abode, Hotel Molino Garden, proved to be a rare gem at the heart of Chefchaouen. Situated on the outskirts of the old city, the hotel's calm ambiance was an oasis within an oasis. The magical garden, a collaborative effort with the neighboring primary school, transported us to a world of serenity. Designed with impeccable taste, the garden featured bamboo trees, goldfish ponds, and an ingenious layout that cocooned us from the city's clamor, while seamlessly connecting us to the majestic mountain backdrop. The hotel's rooms were an embodiment of comfort and history. Our first night was spent in the Garden Room, a cozy apartment with two bedrooms and a living room, all overlooking the captivating garden. Despite the summer heat, the room remained naturally cool, eschewing the need for air conditioning. The second night introduced us to a separate apartment adjacent to the hotel - a meticulously restored old house exuding aesthetics and charm. Once again, the absence of air conditioning was hardly a concern, as the natural ventilation kept us comfortable. Our final night at Hotel Molino Garden saw us in a cozy room on the upper floor, providing a glimpse of the lively alley leading to the hotel entrance. Each accommodation told a unique tale, seamlessly blending modern amenities with the city's rich heritage. No visit to Chefchaouen would be complete without indulging in its culinary delights. With guidance from locals, we embarked on a gastronomic journey. Restaurant Bab Ssour stole our hearts with its delectable local offerings and incredible flavors. The restaurant's two branches, both boasting stunning terraces and panoramic views, were equally enchanting. Another culinary highlight was Restaurant Triana, where a delightful breakfast and a riverside terrace provided an unforgettable dining experience. Although the food was mostly exceptional, a minor hiccup was encountered with the Tira Asada, where the beef's dryness detracted from an otherwise delightful meal. For quick bites and refreshing juices, the main square led us to MIDO's. Their impeccable falafel and warm hospitality made it a go-to spot for rejuvenating snacks. In summary, our journey to Chefchaouen and our stay at Hotel Molino Garden were an enchanting blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. The hotel's idyllic garden, charming rooms, and proximity to cultural landmarks made it a true haven within the blue city. The culinary explorations added yet another layer of delight to our trip, as we indulged in the local flavors recommended by friendly locals. Chefchaouen, with its bewitching allure, will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and Hotel Molino Garden served as the perfect gateway to this captivating Moroccan gem.

“Hospitality at its finest”

Beautiful hidden gem in the gorgeous blue city of Chefchaouen. The owner is beyond hospitable and welcoming. We didn’t actually stay in the rooms, but spent some time in the gardens and enjoyed chatting with the lovely owner.
