AliBaba Apartment Hostel Bamboo Rooftop Room

Built into a blue-washed medina house near Chefchaouen's Plaza Uta el-Hammam, the Bamboo Rooftop Room sits under a reed-covered terrace with views over the Rif foothills. Steps wind up from the ground-floor common kitchen through three narrow flights before reaching the room's private corner of the roof.

Mornings bring mint tea service on the terrace; the Kasbah museum and main square are a five-minute walk downhill. The setup suits budget travellers and solo hikers using Chefchaouen as a base before routes into Talassemtane National Park.
