Casa Blue Star

Casa Blue Star is a lovely little riad in Chefchaouen. Hassan, the receptionist is great, very helpful and extremely friendly. The breakfast was typical to what we’ve grown accustomed to inMorocco - omelette, bread, olives , real orange juice. All held on the terrace, which in January is quite cool. The view from there is great. The room was really nice, with heater and TV. Netflix didn’t work, to many others downloading at the same time most likely. There was no hot water at night, so have your shower early in the day!

Our venture to explore the magical and beautiful blue city of Chefchaouen started with a wonderful warm welcome at Casa Blue Star Hotel. The hotel is set amongst beautiful blue buildings with an amazing rooftop terrace, which provides an awe inspiring view of the Riff Mountains. We were greeted by Ghasan, a very warm, polite, friendly and helpful member of staff. Ghasan kindly allowed us to check in earlier than the allocated time and even made us a delicious freshly squeezed orange juice. Ghasan is very knowledgeable and kindly gave us a tour of the roof top terrace and informed of us the great things to do in Chefchaouen. We drove to Chefchaouen from Fes, which was a 4 hour journey. The hotel location provides free convenient road side parking. A stones throw from the hotel. The hotel boasts beautiful character and reflects the Blue Pearl City of Morroco. In both its warm welcome, exceptional hospitality and endless charm. We stayed in room number 4 and it was a beautiful studio, very spacious with a lounge area and a kitchenette. The room is impeccably clean and the decor is very moorish and has striking blue themed bohemian elegance. The air conditioning in the room was fabulous, as we had travelled in June when the temperatures were high. The hotel is walking distance to all the main attractions including the Medina, Kasbah museum and the Spanish Mosque. Ghasan recommended the walking trail to see the sunset at the Spanish mosque, which was very serene. There are ample food places and some great rooft top restaurants, within walking distance of the hotel. The hotel can provide a cooked dinner with notice, which is very convenient. The breakfast provided was outstanding, all cooked fresh and the mesmen was the best I have had. The breakfast setting was beautiful in the rooftop terrace and the breakfast hosts were friendly, helpful and courteous. There is the option to sit outside on the terrace or within the beautiful terrace room. We highly recommend a stay at Casa Blue Star, for those seeking a journey to explore the delights of Chefchaouen. Casa Blue Star ticks all the boxes for us and we hope others enjoy this fabulous first class hotel.

Casa Blue Star è un piccolo albergo sito in una zona abbastanza centrale di Chefchaouen. Le vie più affollate si trovano a pochissima distanza ma la zona in cui sorge l’albergo è relativamente tranquilla e non molto frequentata dai turisti garantendo, così, una discreta tranquillità. L’albergo è piccolino con una reception costituita da una stanza su cui si affacciano le prime stanze mentre le altre si raggiungono attraverso una scala che porta anche sulla terrazza. L’alloggio che ci è stato assegnato era molto grande con una stanza da letto, un piccolo saloncino con divano e tv e un ampio bagno. Era arredato con un mobilio non nuovissimo ma nel complesso la stanza era piacevole e accogliente. Giudizio positivo anche per il personale, cordiale anche se forse un po’ “distaccato” e la colazione che, servita in terrazza, era costituita dal solito piatto preparato dal cuoco a base di uova, miele e prodotti tipici del posto.
