La Maison Bleue Batha

Mon mari et moi avons séjourné à La Maison Blue pendant 2 nuits lors de notre récente visite à Fès. Le personnel n'aurait pas pu être plus serviable et arrangeant, à commencer par l'employé de la réception qui courait dans la rue pour signaler notre chauffeur de taxi perdu et le guider jusqu'à l'entrée de l'hôtel. Nous avons séjourné dans une jolie chambre au sommet d'un labyrinthe déroutant de couloirs et d'escaliers et avons été très reconnaissants de l'aide enthousiaste qui nous a été apportée pour amener nos bagages dans la chambre. La pièce était charmante, décorée de carreaux de mosaïque, de bois sombres et de riches tissus d'ameublement. Nous avions accès au balcon sur le toit, ainsi qu'à de nombreuses fenêtres qui remplissaient la pièce de lumière pendant la journée. Le lit était dur comme de la pierre, mais nous avons quand même bien dormi. Le petit déjeuner était somptueux et était présenté avec la gentillesse et la gentillesse qui, je crois, sont caractéristiques de cet hôtel. Le personnel ne pouvait tout simplement pas en faire assez pour nous. Son emplacement juste à l'extérieur de la médina est également à son avantage. Ce n'était qu'à quelques pas de l'agitation pour laquelle nous étions venus, mais aussi d'un refuge bienvenu en fin de journée. Je recommande vivement ce riad pour une expérience marocaine authentique.

We were eight of us touring Morocco and I have no hesitation in saying that this property was one of the MOST GORGEOUS riyads I have ever stayed in. This despite the fact that the stairs almost defeated me the first time I clapped eyes on them. Yet, surprisingly, it got better...and then, I almost did not notice the narrowness or the steepness. I understand the building dates from 1915...it is over a hundred years old but age sits lightly on it. We stayed here for two nights but I could have stayed longer. The rooms were delightful; the bathrooms were almost studio apartments and most delightfully arranged with steps leading up to the bath. And there were rose petals, not only on the bed, but in the toilet bowl too !!! Almost hesitated to poo on petals :) I had never experienced such a wonderfully designed bath..what a shame there was only time for showers. All modern amenities were provided. My Room was KHADIJA and it had a shared terrace...since we also had the room that shared the terrace it was as good as our own. It was so relaxing to sit there with a cup of instant coffee brewed in the room munching the cookies from our welcome basket. Dawns break better I think under such surroundings. To add the golden sprinkles on my experience I observed a ecouple from close range from the terrace. KHADIJA has stained glass windows and waking up to the coloured reflections on the wall is something to remember. I could write an essay on the decor and the live music (not overwhelming-just a single person with a stringed instrument ) but I suggest you see it for yourself. The breakfast on the first day was so lavish that we literally begged them not to put so much food on the table the next morning-they laughed. I got the impression, they get this often from guests. The staff was extremely polite, very accomodating ...nothing was too much trouble and milk requested for coffee was NOT CHARGED (unlike at Marrakesh). They gave us so much that we kept it in the fridge in the room and did not have to ask again. The location is graet ..a minute's walk to the Souk and just adjacent is a great cafe cum dinner spot with good food. You cannot park for any length of time in front of the riyad but the driver will aprk long enough for you to comfortably get in and out with luggage. Bottom line: In my top ten Best places I have stayed. The old world charm is undeniable and irresistible.

This was me and my husband’s first place overnight in Morocco for our honeymoon & it was absolutely amazing!! The entire staff was so kind & accommodating. The riad is absolutely beautiful, such a calming, charming, incredible space. We truly could have spent our entire time in Fes just at the hotel! The restaurant was also incredible & we enjoyed all of our food. Special shout out to the milk pastilla- by far our absolute favorite dessert we had in Morocco. We hope to be back one day!!

Such a find inside the Fez Medina. It is a special Riad with various floors and nooks. The rooms are incredibly well sound-proofed. The one dinner we ate was excellent. The service was terrific. Great location.
