Both hotels are in a very dangerous part of the city.
if you stay at either maison bleue, make sure you don't leave after 5 pm as the neighborhood is too dangerous for you to leave at night.
their food and service are horrible.

consider staying somewhere off Hassan II boulevard in the new city where it's very safe and you can come and go anytime of the day.

LOCATION - 5
Hotel is in the medina, right opposite the Batha museum on Place Batha, therefore easy to find and reach by car and only a 5 min walk from the main entrance to the medina. There are two public parking areas nearby.
ROOMS - 5
Rooms are very nice: spacious, luxurious and wonderfully decorated (classis Moroccan style). Many have private terraces or balconies and most offer a view on the medina, as does the roof top terrace.
SERVICE - 5
We never experienced better service during our trip in Morocco than in this hotel. All employees were very friendly and helpful, all spoke good English.
FOOD - 3
Breakfast was good and served on our private terrace. We didn’t dine in the main house, as we don’t like music and shows during dinner (so called palace dinner). Instead we chose the Riad (10 min walk thru the medina), which offers a great view from its rooftop terrace. The food was nothing special, but the employees once again very friendly and helpful. The Hotel and Riad are also licensed to serve alcohol.
FACILITIES – 3
Main house has no pool and no hammam, but you can use both in the Riad (the hammam costs extra). The pool is small. Internet access is possible.

This is a great, small luxury hotel in classical Moroccan style, with caring staff and superb rooms at an optimal position in central Fez. The food is only average quality.

Everything about Maison Bleu was wonderful. Our room was magnificant. Large comfortable, and beautifully decorated. Our welcome was wonderfully warm and civilised. Beaurocracy kept to the minimum while focusing on whatever we could possibly need after a long and strenuous voyage. The service was fantastic. Helpfull and obliging. A spectacularly beautiful hotel filled with kind helpful and informative staff.

La Maison Bleue is even better when they screw up. I arrived after a miserable train trip from Marrakech. Someone else was in my room overlooking the medina. They put me in their best room, the grandmother's room, and promised I would move in the morning, but I didn't believe them. The next morning I took my bags downstairs and announced I was going to the Palais Jamai. They took me up to the top floor to my sunny room overlooking the medina and I couldn't move. They also sent me to dinner at the riad and catered to my every request. The service was wonderful, the staff was responsive to every request and the food was exquisite. The location was perfect! It was like experiencing only the best parts of staying with family-- and the most magnificent view of the medina. Much better than staying at home! You'll want to stay forever.
