“Great hotel, caring staff, only average food quality”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2006
4
people found this review helpful

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.

“One of the Very Best Hotel Experiences Ever”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 December 2005

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.

“an exquisite experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 March 2005

people found this review helpful

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.

“Not up to expectations”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 October 2004
10
people found this review helpful

We had heard so many incredible things about La Maison Bleue, but it really didn't live up to our expectations. We stayed at the riad, not the main house. Everything seemed a bit worn, a bit dusty, simply not up to the standards you expect when you're paying over $200 a night. The breakfast was good and the dinner at the main restaurant was outstanding, but for my money I'd rather stay at the new Riad al-Pacha down the road for a fraction of the price. Service at the riad was ok but over the course of a 3 night stay our room was not made up on one of those days.

Vanessa Bonnin, Guest Relations Manager at La Maison Bleue, responded to this review

Thank you for your comments, we always welcome feedback that helps us to improve our service.
I would like to mention however, that since your stay in 2004 there have been huge changes to La Maison Bleue and Riad Maison Bleue (it is not clear which one you stayed at?).
The rooms have been redone, service standards raised across the board, and we have worked hard to maintain the reputation of our restaurant as providing one of the most unique and special dining experiences in Fes.
I am shocked that your room was not serviced during your stay - this would certainly not happen now as our housekeeping staff are excellent and diligent.
At Riad Maison Bleue we now offer a spa and hammam, fitness suite, modern restaurant with an international menu available, swimming pool and many other detailed improvements that ensure the package we offer our guests is worthy of the prices we charge. We strive to provide the premiere hotel experience in Fes.
We would welcome the opportunity to host you here again so you can see first-hand the changes we have made.
Kind regards,
Vanessa Bonnin
