Puerta Azul — Hotel in Chefchaouen

We spent one night at Puerto Azul during our two week trip across Morocco. This hotel stood out amongst others through the exceptional service, room cleanliness and delicious breakfast. Upon arriving, we found out our room was upgraded to their suite which had a balcony overlooking parts of the medina. The room was beautifully decorated with authentic Moroccan pieces and painted a gorgeous blue to match the city. This really elevated our experience. On our first day, we wanted to take a taxi up to the spanish mosque. When one couldn’t be found, the owner himself drove us up and even taught us some bits of history about Chefchaouen! In the morning, we were served a breakfast that tasted homemade and delicious. On our way out later in the day, we were also served some Moroccan tea with some pastries. All the food tasted fresh and was really a highlight of our trip. While we had msemmen every day of our trip, we consider the one we had at Puerto Azul a true stand out. Lastly, a special mention to Aziz, our host, who made sure every moment of our stay was comfortable. He truly went out of his way to make us feel welcome and accomodated. Thank you Aziz for your great service and an...

What a fantastic experience—look no further and book with confidence because Aziz and his team treat you like family! The hotel is a short walk from the medina or you can grab an inexpensive taxi the short distance. The spacious rooms are clean, beautifully detailed and wonderfully air conditioned. The breakfast is homemade and hearty—a great start before a day of adventure. But most of all, I can promise you that Aziz will go above and beyond for you during your stay because we cannot thank him enough for what he did for us during our short time in Chefchaouen. About an hour after we arrived, we panicked when we realized we accidentally left our son’s iPad on the CTM bus we rode into town! Aziz immediately called the bus station AND drove us there in his own car so we could recover the lost item AND helped us negotiate the return of the iPad since the manager at the station was demanding a “reward” for his troubles. We appreciated such honesty when not everyone we met during our time in Morocco was as honest or kind. ...

The hosts were AMAZING! Aziz went out of his way to help us and made us feel very welcomed. They even gave us a free upgrade to celebrate our anniversary. We really enjoyed our stay there. They were so kind and accommodating. The hotel is a short walk away from the main Medina and tourist sites. We enjoyed being in a more "local" neighborhood and did not find the navigation to be difficult at all. The hotel is well decorated with the very blue theme of Chefchaouen. We enjoyed the vibe at the hotel, it was very authentic. Definitely a charming place. The welcoming tea was a delight too. ... Also, in addition to our stay, I ran into some difficulty during my time in Chefchaouen and my passport was misplaced. Aziz went above and beyond to help me and communicated as soon as he found out. I was very grateful for his support and would have been lost without him! Thank you so much-- we will never forget your kindness.

10/10 would recommend this hotel. Get off the beaten tourist path and go support a...
