We spent two nights here near the end of our trip to Morocco and fell in love with Essaouria and the hotel. From the moment we walked in the staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms were smaller than other hotels, but were nicely decorated and impeccably maintained. The hotel was a 10 minute walk to the port and was... More

We ended our nine days of travel in Morocco here after stays in Casablanca, Fes, Rabat, Imlil (High Atlas Mountains) and touring in Marrakech, Volubilis and Meknes. It is a beautiful hotel, a true riad, which our guide told us is defined by trees actually growing in an open courtyard. The courtyard is beautiful and a charming place to have... More

I was not feeling well when we were staying at L'Heure Bleue and I've therefore mostly been relaxing inside the hotel instead of going into town. This hotel is perfect for that with it's rooftop terrace with daybeds, it's cosy bar and last but not least it's small cinema where you can see old classics like 'Casablanca'. Drinks and food...

The hotel is a typical old colonial palace from architecture to atmosphere. The service is excellent. The personnel is smiling and makes sure you are well taken care of. However if you compare with other luxury hotels in essaouira, the room charge is too expensive compared to what you can get elsewhere. More

Just returned from a 11 night trip to Morocco. After spending 4 nights in Marrakesh we headed for L'Heure Bleue. Upon arrival we were greeted by the Manager and given a much welcome drink with nibbles. First impressions were very favourable as the courtyard is very beautiful and comfortable. We were told we had been upgraded to a junior suite... More

We stayed here in August before going to Marrakech. The location was great: about 5 mins walk along a busy street to restaurants and 10 mins to the windy beach. Rooms are spotless and service is excellent. The OJ and pastries on arrival were great. The proprietor went out Of his way to shake the hands of all guests. I... More

We stayed here for 8 nights this August. On arrival, the room( angle suite\) smelt very damp and we discovered a damp problem in the shower. This was immediately rectified. The hotel is beautiful. The central courtyar, where you eat breakfast( amazing) and are served evening drinks is beautiful. Full of tropical plants and fabulous lighting at night. The restaurant... More

After a 3 hour trip from Marrakesh, we arrived at the Essaouira medina. We had no idea what to expect. Once our driver parked the van, a very friendly man called Mamoudh welcomed us and accompanied us to the largest building in the medina, which was the hotel, built as a Riad. The inside decoration is beautiful with European, African... More

We recently enjoyed 2 fabulous days in this fascinating seaside city, and our accommodation at L'Heure Bleue was superb. The entire medina can be reached easily on foot. The rooms were the best we had in Morocco, and the food and service were excellent. Our only complaint was that the wind made swimming in the unheated roof-top pool an exercise... More
