Pros:

The hotel is very cozy! It's located close to the road, so it's a short walk with suitcases. The staff is helpful. Breakfast is served in a beautiful garden. We loved this riad. I recommend it.

Pros:

Der Heure Bleue Palais ist eine historische Ikone, den wir auf Empfehlung von Freunden als etwas Besonderes gebucht haben. Der beheizte Pool auf dem Dach ist ein Highlight. Wir haben sogar ein Zimmerupgrade bekommen!
Die Freundlichkeit und Fürsorge des gesamten Personals ist hervorzuheben! Ich hatte eine spezielle Anfertigung zu nähen und ein Mitarbeiter hat mich auf seinem Moped mitgenommen um den richtigen Schneider zu finden und auch, um den korrekten Preis zu verhandeln. Da aufgrund der Feiertage die Arbeit erst nach unserer Abreise fertig wurde, wir waren dann bereits in Marrakesch, hat das Hotel einen zuverlässigen Fahrer organisiert, der uns das dorthin geliefert hat! Herzlichen Dank noch einmal dafür an alle Beteiligten!
Sehr gut hat uns auch die Qualität der Live Musik gefallen. Wer sich einmal etwas gönnen möchte, ist hier genau richtig!
