First night in Chef - any recommendations?

A few of us heading out on bikes to arrive 4th March. As it will have been a long day, can anyone recommend a reasonable and inexpensive first night stopover in Chefchoauen? Thanks,

Hotel Rif

I stayed in the Hotel Rif, on the southeastern side of the Medina ( 29 Rue Hassan II) last March: from (a dodgy) memory, I think 3 of us paid about Dh 120 each for a clean, characterful shared room with basic ensuite, and breakfast. No parkling for the bikes, but we found a guardian nearby for a few Dh. The LP says they have a booze licence, but we weren't offerred. The fact that the place was full of flags and cops because the King was in town the next day may have had a bearing on things...Chatty, opinionated and fluent English-speaking hotel manager gave an interesting view from the inside of Moroccan society. LP gives their phone no as 039 986982. Let us know if you try it: we're planning on heading back that way in mid-May this year.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
