“Home away from home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2011

Although located within the Medina, once you stepped through the little blue door, you could hardly tell. We were greeted with refreshing mint tea and an orientation of the Medina.

A beautiful and simply decorated Riad equipped with clean and comfortable rooms. The concierge, Sumiyya and Latifa are heaven sent. Fluent in both English and French, they provided us with helpful tips on shopping, restaurants and hammam. We felt well looked after. Latifa personally brought me to the hammam for my scrub down and Sumiyya taught us how to haggle with the vendors. Their hospitality services beat any five star hotel's hands down.

The breakfast provided was scrumptious and more than sufficient. We stayed in both Dunette and Ocre. Both are equally comfortable and clean, equipped with heaters in case you find the evenings chilly. Dunette has a private balcony and Ocre is more spacious room. Both have views of the ocean.

We will got back to Essaouira just to find an excuse to stay at Chems Bleu.

“Relaxing and very helpful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 October 2010

My wife and I stayed for a couple of nights after being in Marrakech. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The room was cosy with a cracking sea view - great for an afternoon chill out. The restaurant Mehdi recommended (M'Riste Jouhar) was excellent as were his tips on places to wander round. They also organised an excellent overnight camel tour for us and let us leave our gear in our room free of charge for the night we were away. Great place. We felt really welcome.

“Great staff and location - Lovely riad”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2010

We relaxed here for a couple of days after a trip to Marrakech, and it was exactly what we needed. The staff could not be more helpful or friendly. Our room was basic, but clean and comfortable, with an unobstructed view of the ocean. Breakfast was simple but tasty, with very flexible hours. The location was perfect! It was a short walk to anywhere you might want, but far enough away from the main square that it was quiet at night. Perfect! This is a lovely place to relax.

“Charming”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2010

We stayed in the Dunette room for two nights and it was very cosy with a beautiful view from the attached roof top terrace. We really enjoyed our stay at Chems Bleu - it was relaxing and within easy walking distance of all the sights. We found the hotel easily but because there were no signs identifying the riad anywhere, we weren't sure we had the right place. Other than the entryway, we really loved the riad, the staff, the location and the relaxing atmosphere of place.

“Nice hotel but no nice location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2010

This hotel is impossible to find. We spent hours looking for it, followed by tens of boys and children asking money and driving us in the wrong direction. Nobody knew where it was. Hotel itself (more a B&B) is nice and clean but I would reccomand to avoid Medina as a location. Expecially in the south of Marocco.
Internet is free but not working in the rooms.
