Hasan was a wonderful, charming, and intelligent host with superb english and spicy sense of humor. Attentive, but not intrusive and really kind. First thing he did after our arrival was taking out the map and colorful markers to virtually show us around - where to eat, what to avoid and so on. You can really tell that the man loves his job. The mattresses were brand new, and best we encountered in Morocco so far. It is apparent from other reviews that some guests were complaining about wet environment and mold. I need to comment on that. Guys, the place is literally in the center of ancient Medina, built somewhere around 17th century! For such a buildings the humidity is always an issue. I was very afraid, because I suffer from astma and severe allergy on mold and I haven't seen any sign of mold and didn't have any health problems. Fatima cleans everything perfectly! Many thanks! Wish we could stay longer! ❤️

A absolutely amazing experience. What a beautiful hotel! What lovely people! We met the fantastic owner Helen, her warm and kind manager Mina, Albie, Hamza in the restaurant. It's like a big family and we felt sad leaving! The design is STUNNING. Every room is special and the beds are incredibly comfy for a good nights' sleep. The team are wonderful in helping you organise transfers, surf lessons, restaurant recommendations. On my birthday they gave me flowers and the entire restaurant sang to me which made me feel so special! They also have a live band playing upstairs and people from all over come to eat in the restaurant so it really is the place to be at night as well.

    Great location right in the middle of the Medina but very quiet (I was there during Ramadan so it was perhaps quieter than usual). Spacious room, nice and clean. Traditional style of building, very charming. Lots of German and French retirees :)

    Super quiet and cozy place, located 30 minutes walk from city center. Host is super friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend this place for someone who is looking to work, they have everything you need: nice coworking room and fast, by local standards, wi-fi. I would say that it is not the place if you are looking for endless parties at rooftops during moroccan nights, but it is great in sense Kamal(host) developing it: for people how want combine work / leisure.

    We really liked the accommodation, great location just a few steps from busy shops and restaurants, yet a very quiet place. Close to the sea and the port. Simo is a fantastic host, he was waiting for us by the bus and escorted us to the riad. He was very helpful all the time, he advised us good local restaurants and helped with printing the boarding pass.

    We were at Chems Bleu for only one night but wish to be more. Great location, welcoming host, delicious breakfast and good comfortable bed. The best guesthouse we were at during our 10-days journey in Morocco.

    Thus beautifully done out guest house has the most incredible chilled out vibe. The terrace overlooks the surf so you can keep an eye out for the swell and is perfect for a spot of yoga or just chilling watching the sunrise and sunset. It is set in a quiet, rural village and although I would recommend having a car, there were lovely walks to explore the dunes, beaches and landscapes. Food is delicious and hosts friendly, welcoming and helpful. Would highly recommend.
