Casa Blue Star

Casa Blue Star is a lovely little riad in Chefchaouen. Hassan, the receptionist is great, very helpful and extremely friendly. The breakfast was typical to what we’ve grown accustomed to inMorocco - omelette, bread, olives , real orange juice. All held on the terrace, which in January is quite cool. The view from there is great. The room was really nice, with heater and TV. Netflix didn’t work, to many others downloading at the same time most likely. There was no hot water at night, so have your shower early in the day!

Our venture to explore the magical and beautiful blue city of Chefchaouen started with a wonderful warm welcome at Casa Blue Star Hotel. The hotel is set amongst beautiful blue buildings with an amazing rooftop terrace, which provides an awe inspiring view of the Riff Mountains. We were greeted by Ghasan, a very warm, polite, friendly and helpful member of staff. Ghasan kindly allowed us to check in earlier than the allocated time and even made us a delicious freshly squeezed orange juice. Ghasan is very knowledgeable and kindly gave us a tour of the roof top terrace and informed of us the great things to do in Chefchaouen. We drove to Chefchaouen from Fes, which was a 4 hour journey. The hotel location provides free convenient road side parking. A stones throw from the hotel. The hotel boasts beautiful character and reflects the Blue Pearl City of Morroco. In both its warm welcome, exceptional hospitality and endless charm. We stayed in room number 4 and it was a beautiful studio, very spacious with a lounge area and a kitchenette. The room is impeccably clean and the decor is very moorish and has striking blue themed bohemian elegance. The air conditioning in the room was fabulous, as we had travelled in June when the temperatures were high. The hotel is walking distance to all the main attractions including the Medina, Kasbah museum and the Spanish Mosque. Ghasan recommended the walking trail to see the sunset at the Spanish mosque, which was very serene. There are ample food places and some great rooft top restaurants, within walking distance of the hotel. The hotel can provide a cooked dinner with notice, which is very convenient. The breakfast provided was outstanding, all cooked fresh and the mesmen was the best I have had. The breakfast setting was beautiful in the rooftop terrace and the breakfast hosts were friendly, helpful and courteous. There is the option to sit outside on the terrace or within the beautiful terrace room. We highly recommend a stay at Casa Blue Star, for those seeking a journey to explore the delights of Chefchaouen. Casa Blue Star ticks all the boxes for us and we hope others enjoy this fabulous first class hotel.

Nichée dans une impasse, après pas mal d’escaliers, se trouve la casa. Avec sa magnifique terrasse et ses chambres hyper cosy, le personnel est aux petits soins. On a porté nos valises de la place jusqu’à notre chambre, nous laissant nous émerveiller jusqu’à l’arrivée. Top dîner !

Cuando llegamos nos alojaron en una habitación que era correcta pero sencilla y nada que ver con otros alojamientos que habíamos visitado en Marruecos. Pero olía mucho a tuberías. Lo comentamos y nos pasaron a otra habitación familiar (aunque éramos solo dos) bastante más bonita y con vistas. El desayuno algo justo. Nuestro peor alojamiento en nuestra semana por Marruecos.

Deux nuits passées le 20 et 21 janvier dans ce Riad magnifique, à la décoration typique et d’une belle sobriété, très authentique ! L’accueil, la gentillesse, le professionnalisme, la discrétion, la convivialité, la propreté, la qualité des repas, …. Bref, tout a été parfait 👍 Et certains touristes diront sans doute « qu’il fait froid dans les Riad, qu’il n’y a pas de chauffage », alors bien évidemment, mais n’oublions pas que nous sommes en pleine hiver, au mois de janvier et les mâtinées, et les soirées sont fraîches, pour nos nuits la chaude literie et la belle couverture nous été d’un grand réconfort, et les journées d’une belle chaleur et très ensoleillées ☀️ Le village de Chefchaouen est pour moi la « Santorin » du Maroc, et impossible de ne pas aimer ce village (pas si petit que ça), des centaines de rues toutes bleues à se perdre dedans, mais c’est tellement plaisant et agréable, la gentillesse des commerçants, les vendeurs adorables avec cet éternel jeu de la négociation 😉 On y retournera c’est certain, mais cette fois-ci plus longtemps car c’était beaucoup trop court 😌

Casa Blue Star è un piccolo albergo sito in una zona abbastanza centrale di Chefchaouen. Le vie più affollate si trovano a pochissima distanza ma la zona in cui sorge l’albergo è relativamente tranquilla e non molto frequentata dai turisti garantendo, così, una discreta tranquillità. L’albergo è piccolino con una reception costituita da una stanza su cui si affacciano le prime stanze mentre le altre si raggiungono attraverso una scala che porta anche sulla terrazza. L’alloggio che ci è stato assegnato era molto grande con una stanza da letto, un piccolo saloncino con divano e tv e un ampio bagno. Era arredato con un mobilio non nuovissimo ma nel complesso la stanza era piacevole e accogliente. Giudizio positivo anche per il personale, cordiale anche se forse un po’ “distaccato” e la colazione che, servita in terrazza, era costituita dal solito piatto preparato dal cuoco a base di uova, miele e prodotti tipici del posto.
