MoKo Hostel

Twelve steps up from Rue Elbnainou, MoKo Hostel occupies a blue-washed house in the derb el Bakkali quarter of Chefchaouen's medina, a five-minute walk from Plaza Uta el-Hammam — a low-cost base for backpackers and solo travellers who want the old town's alley maze without a taxi ride in.

Rooftop terrace seating catches the medina's blue rooftops at sunset, and the shared kitchen runs on an honesty-system pantry. Staff sketch hand-drawn maps to the Ras El Maa waterfall trailhead, twenty minutes uphill on foot.
