Beautiful houses converted into riad. Got a good deal

Very nice riad in Fes Médina, it is beautiful and has great food and ambiance

Enormous suite and beautiful decor very close from the Medina. They make you feel like a sultan!!

La Madison Bleue is a lovely place to stay in Fes--both of them. Confused? We were too when we arrived. There is a Maison Bleue Hotel and Maison Bleue Riad. They are affiliated but in different locations. It was an issue when we arrived because we were initially taken to the wrong site by our taxi. Once that was sorted, the bigger issue was learning the riad does not have a fitness room or pool, as promised on the website. The hotel has both and guests of the riad have access. The only challenge is getting from the riad to the hotel through the tangled alleys of the medina where 500 metres can get you lost for two hours. After the initial frustration, we settled in to the room. The building is beautiful, traditional Moroccan design. The rooms are large and there are tubs for soaking. The service is good and location relatively easy to access because it is near a landmark if the medina, the blue gate. The riad seems to be well known for its restaurant. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner including a chicken tajine, couscous royals and an orange cream dessert that was too large for two people but we finished every rich bit of it. Dinner service was excellent and the live musicians played beautifully. The hotel may have more amenities on site but the riad has a better location. With those factors in mind, make a choice between two good options. PS There are many stairs in narrow cases. If mobility is an issue, this may not be a good choice at all.

Late flight into Fes, but we were met by a shuttle. Given the late hour (12:30am), new city, big unknown, concierge waiting up for us, this was very welcome.

The hotel service was excellent the property is beautifully restored but the amenities in the room might need some upgrades to match other 5 stars hotels. The room is a little too dark compared to their second property outside of Medina which feels brighter and more modern.

It's on the small side which I like, a comfy boutique feel. Definitely old school interiors, all original as far as I can tell, dating from at least the turn of the century. A beautiful luxurious setting. However unlike many of the older Moroccan hotels, the bathroom, the air-conditioning and internet are all top notch. Probably my favorite of the 6-7 hotels I stayed during my tour in Morocco, some substantially more expensive than this one.

staff very helpful. suggest you request guides from this staff. ours were superb.
