Fez hotels near Fes el Bali

Pros: Nice room with a small private terrace.

Cons: Check the bathroom towels, ours were clearly dirty. Overpriced.

Pros: Great decor. Good staff. Very good breakfast spread.

Cons: Location was good, but needs short walk with all luggage.

Pros: Room, breakfast and host. Taha was very friendly. Abdu nice guy always ready to help. Must stay with them

Pros: The Riad has a lovely common area that is comfortable and inviting to lounge in or enjoy Moroccan tea in. The hosts-Tahir was exceptionally friendly and attentive. He provided us a map and recommendations. The location of the Riad is about a 15 minute walk to the heart of the old city.

Pros: The staff were amazing and dedicated to ensuring we had everything we needed. Abdul packed us lunches when we had an early start, made sure we were comfortable in our room and when my husband slipped and sprained his ankle, he carried him to a taxi so we could go to the hospital. The riad was beautiful and we had a gorgeous balcony area. It was very clean.

Cons: The location of the riad was far from the main mosques etc that me and my husband wanted of travel to.

Pros: It was a big room for 2 people.

Cons: The room didn t have a fridge.

Pros: Nothing than room itself. Room we stayed was fine however there was a weird unpleasant smell inside all the time.

Cons: Our experience with this hotel was horrible. It is said in their description that there is a traditional moroccan hammam and treatments in Riad. When we arrived Riad, receptionist said that hammam is broken and will not be fixed for weeks. When we called booking to complain about, suddenly it appeared that they have “hammam” working. Of course they made it up to avoid refund/cancellation. Later, when we wanted to take a hammam treatment, they took us to the dirty room with housekeeping/cleaning facilities inside and we were informed that the housekeeper of the hotel will do our hammam treatments. Ridiculous, not? In a short, this place is fraud! Even though it is called "riad and spa", they dont have proper facilities for spa and they are not transparent/honest about what facilities they have. Addition to that, the man worked in receptionist was very rude and it seemed he hated his job. He was completely unhelpful during our stay and could not accommodate any simple request we had. Breakfast was not fresh either and if you need to leave riad earlier than 8 am, they expect you not kindly ask but beg for early breakfast. Just note that, in any other riad we stayed in Morocco, we were given an early breakfast when we requested it day before.

Pros: The staff were excellent. Good reception.

Pros: Loved the beautiful patio with fabulous wall deco, furniture and fountain in the middle. Such a calm and relaxing space. The staff was very nice and helpful. The diner was delicious. Eating authentic food at an authentic atmosphere of this old riad is definitely part of Moroccan experiences, worthwhile trying. I fully recommend Riad Zamane.

Cons: No issue about this wonderful riad. — In the neighborhood, some youths / children idling at the street were sometimes noisy (including late at night) and annoying. This may be a common issue for many different riads located in the same street. (Though, we are foreign visitors and are allowed to stay in local people’s living space, so it is by no means intended to impose tourists’ comfort standards.)

Pros: Main atrium was beautiful and ornate, the suite had a nice private terrace. Staff member Abu was also very friendly and helped us to feel at home

Cons: Bedroom and bathroom were tired, and we would have appreciated a duvet. We were also asked to return the key on leaving the riad for dinner as they only had one! We were also asked to pay the bill in cash which wasnt mentioned on booking through this site, which caused a little inconvenience.

Pros: Traditional design at its best, an amazing hideaway just meters from the center of Fes. Exceptionally hospitality from all staff. Really nice breakfast and dinner in the restaurant next to the pool. I wish I had more days!!!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Beautiful property, amazing pool and excellent location

Cons: The roof terrace was being refurbished while we were there so were unable to use it.

Pros: Best accommodation I've ever stayed in. It was so authentically Moroccan and the staff were so accommodating. Plus amazing breakfast and food (even if they were European prices).

Cons: Some rooms are quite high up, so if stairs are a problem you might want to check your room but for us this was no problem.

Pros: Meals were amazing. Service was top notch. Everything was just beautiful. We felt like we had a beautiful palace all to ourselves. Great staff. Very safe.

Cons: Pool was very cold. Difficult to find off the alley. We didn’t like the Medina at all. Parking is a huge hassle and the parking lot swindlers almost ruined our arrival. Horrible to drive into.

Pros: This hotel completely exceeded my expectations. It was even better than the photos. I had some of the best food here for my entire time spent in morocco. The hotel staff were so attentive and so friendly, I absolutely love this place and would recommend anyone visiting Fez to stay here. one of the two nights spent here was very entertaining. Whilst my friend and I were enjoying dinner near the pool, people were playing traditional music, doing henna, and a tour group were also enjoying a cooking class run by the hotel. very happy with the experience

Pros: Clean and large rooms. Very quite. Top room was really nice.

Cons: Residential part of Medina, lacks attention to detail in both service and look and feel. Was expensive.

Pros: The best thing about this riad is the staff. They are all very helpful. Zechariah speaks about 5 languages as far as I can tell and is enormously helpful. Mohammed is very helpful too, as was Nordine. The owner is lucky to have such a good team. The riad itself is very beautiful. We had a lovely suite called Habiba, named after the owner's wife. The food was good - we ate dinner there twice and the breakfasts were generous. Two tips - there is parking very near by, about 200m from the riad. If you pay them generously (say 30 Dirham per 24 hours) they will make sure you always have a space whenever you return and our car was perfectly safe for 5 days, coming and going as we pleased. Secondly the riad is not signposted from the road. You should look for the pharmacie Fatima and park there. Ignore any unofficial guides - the riad is just around the back and you can ask directions from the shop. If you go in winter wrap up warm at night when out and about. It gets close to freezing!

Cons: The roof terrace is not yet open - I hear that the owner has grand plans for it following the purchase of a third riad next door, which they will knock through and create more rooms and more social space. But this won't be ready for use until later in 2019.

Pros: Beautiful and large room with good amenities.

Cons: The riad could have added a hot pot and tea and coffee in the room. But they were her prompt in giving us hot water whenever we asked for it

Pros: Courtyard was beautiful and relaxing

Cons: Everything about this experience was horrible. After making a reservation through Kayak, I contacted the Riad directly to check if they can arrange for an extra bed in the room. The Riad said they didn’t have my reservation so I sent along the reservation confirmation I received from Kayak’s partner site. The Riad subsequently responded and said that they didn’t have any rooms so they would accommodate us at Road Myra which was generally in the same location and looked good online so I agreed as long as the same requirements and rates would be honored. The Riad continued to communicate with me about airport transfer etc which lead me to believe that the same owners or management staff manages both the roads. When we got to Riad Myra, it was a horrible experience. At first, they claimed that they didn’t have my reservation, didn’t communicate clearly, didn’t tell us about Riad amenities (we were coming from marrkech and had a wonderful experience at 2 roads here), and proceeded to give us a shitty standard room with such low ceilings that we felt claustrophobic. When I told them that I had booked a suite and absolutely needed it starting next day since our third friend was arriving they said they would move us the next day. Next day, on inquiring about airport transfer for my friend, they acted clueless. Then called the original Riad and proceeded to take over the arrangement . When I asked them to adjust the room price given we didn’t get the suite on first night, the manager, Salma said she would talk to the other Riad. Subsequently Salma avoided all eye contact and communication with me for next 3 days. On the final day she got one of the porters to settle the dues and I requested to speak with her regarding my question. She reluctantly called, spoke to the other Riad on phone (which she had clearly not done before as promised), gave me vague answers and proceeded to charge me 40 € extra per night for my third friend although we had agreed to to 30 € in prior communication on email. Overall I recommend everyone to stay away from road al amine fes and Riad Myra. I urge the management to ensure staff and especially manager, Salma doesn’t ruin the guest experience.

Pros: I spent nearly a month in Morocco staying in numerous love at ions throughout the country, and I can say unequivocally that Riad El Amine Fez was the nicest of all! The staff was welcoming the moment I arrived. The Riad was beautiful and unlike many who have a covering over the courtyard permanently Riad El Amine Fez employed a retractable cover above the courtyard that they were not shy to open up.and enhance the ambiance & magical Moroccan light of this enchanting accommodation. I would be remiss if I didn't also didn't say I had the two finest meals in my entire stay in Morocco! As we say in the US, this wonderful & unexpected home away from home, was a Home Run!!! The staff arranged for an all day trip with my special request for a fluent English speaker in the Middle Atlas Mountains that was simply sublime, and I would express my many thanks to Mustafa for the memories that'll last a lifetime in this magical place that this Riad helped play a significant part!!!

Pros: Breakfast was excellent and the location was ideal for visiting the Medina. The staff tried very hard and were very friendly.

Cons: There was building work going on within the Riad which mean't that we were unable to use the roof terrace. This wasn't explained to us prior to our booking

Pros: My attractive, quiet room, plus the excellent breakfast with delicious coffee/hot milk, freshly squeezed orange juice, omelette and a selection of bread/Moroccan pastries, all served with style and care.

Cons: I suggested a bedside light in my room would have helped reading at night, but this is comment, not criticism

Pros: I liked the beauty of the building and its authenticity. They prepared us the breakfast to take away and I loved it. The staff is very kind and really tries hard to help.

Cons: I would improve the general conditions of the facilities to make it the experience as magical as it could be. I will make sure the information given to the guests is as transparent as possible.

Pros: The riad was great and the location was good since it was in a quieter part of the Medina. Since the riad was in the outer part of the Medina, it was easier to find a parking spot for the car which is great for travellers who are doing a roadtrip through Morocco.

Cons: No credit cards were accepted in the facility

Pros: The staff at the riad was very friendly and attentive at all times. Making the stay and all the arrangements. The breakfasts and dinners are also very good. Proximity products and good quantities.

Cons: The riad is very run down, clean. The rooms are small but very confotable.

Pros: We had a very large room with a separate reading are and a second bedroom with two beds. Private access to the terrace with gorgeous views of Fes. Breakfast was absolutely lovely. Lots of food, fresh and hot

Cons: Amount of smoking inside is almost unbearable. Not used to that in North America

Pros: The athmosthefere and staff was top notch. The riad is well preserved with beutifull decoration and astonishing terrace with an excellent owericiew of the Medina. All the staff are super friendly and will try to setisfy all your needs.

Cons: More a comment then anything else. The riad is on the far side of Medina, which is a little off the touristic side. Also don't expect a five star hotel expirence with the cleanlines and facility's but an authentic experience.

Cons: The pool / water of the pool was not clean so we didn't feel comfortable to make children play in it.

Pros: Good atmosphere, good staff

Cons: The roof leaked. Happens I guess.

Pros: If judging by looks alone, it was pretty.

Cons: As soon as we walked in, the staff began pressure-selling us on different experiences for an additional cost — before even giving us a WiFi code or information about breakfast or checkout timing. They described their own city as dangerous (specifically warning us against people who would arrange overpriced tours of Fes — exactly what they offer at the riad). We had to repeatedly insist on wanting to find our own restaurant for dinner instead of taking a hired car to a restaurant of their choosing for a set cost. They sold us a tour of the old medina for 10€ a person, insisting this was the only way to successfully see the old town, but set us up with a guide who barely spoke a full sentence of English and had trouble walking up the cobbled stairs of Fes. The tour didn’t show us anything we couldn’t have found ourselves and led to more pressure selling from the leather salesmen in the famous tanneries. In fact, the tour began with the guide telling us we should bring our credit cards to use at the shops where he’d negotiate prices for us. We ended the tour half way through with awkward resistance. We would understand if we felt there was a genuine desire to help facilitate our sightseeing, but while they were very willing to book a private car to destinations of their choice, they were unwilling to book us a cab to where we wanted to go — even just to the centre of the medina. Instead of giving us any useful information, they tried to scare us off the idea of going outside, telling us repeatedly that we might get “trafficked”. Once we finally convinced them that we could handle ourselves in Fez, we began to enjoy our experience of the city. It’s a real shame that they felt they had to do it down, apparently just to make some extra money in commission. To us it just felt like we were being scammed, and we were relieved to check out.

Pros: Beautiful Riad and very friendly staff

Cons: Location was a bit remote from the touristic part of the medina

Pros: The lovely personal, they did our experience the best.

Cons: Everything was perfect!

Pros: Riad very cozy and comfortable to discover Fes and its fantastic medina. The staff helped us to book a guide for the medina, the transfer to the airport and gave us many tips to visit the city. The rooms are clean, quiet and well furnished. Breakfast was excellent and hearty. Highly recommended!

Pros: The location was the best thing. In just a few minutes of walking distance, you will reach almost all the things worth visiting in the Medina. Staff was very helpful and the place itself is really traditional which is exactly what we were looking for. The view when having breakfast at the top terrace was one of the best things.

Cons: We didn't necesarily liked the smell in the room and bathroom but that's just more of a personal thing . I'm sure most people will not have a problem with it. Overall it's a great place to stay for a few days.

Pros: Fantastic staff, so friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious, good walking location to everywhere. An oasis from the busy streets of Rabat

Pros: Great location because located a few meters from the front door of the medina, which makes it possible to find this Riad without getting lost. The staff is friendly and helpful, the rooms are splendid, especially those on the terrace. The breakfast is simply excellent and full of local specialties. The view of the heart of the medina is also amazing!

Pros: the guy in the reception accompnaied us at 6 o clock in the morning to the taxi stand to be sure that the taxi was there. ( about 4 min walk ) . so very nice of him "part of my job , no problem ". this is outstanding service. taxi cab to the airport also perfect. the roof terrace is magnificent because of the vieuw and the Sunset moments…. like the picture !

Pros: We loved the terrace , waking up with the sunset and the beautiful view that you get from there was simply amazing . The position is just perfect !

Cons: Some communication

Pros: I enjoyed the terrace and the view over the medina.

Pros: Staying in a typical Moroccan building had a special charm. Compliments to the staff for the friendliness and good tips for exploring the surroundings. Breakfast on the terrace overlooking the entire old medina was a wonderful start of the day.

Pros: It is a perfect location in the medina near the main square R'ciff. We had breakfast and dinner at the Riad which were delicious. They also organized a tour guide who helped us not to get lost in the medina and visit the important places. Everybody was super helpful and kind. We would 100% recommend this place.

Pros: Kareem who works on the reception is so warmful and without his helpness I was very hard time I could spent becuz I was sick Many stress but he helped me out..

Pros: The position is awesome and the terrace view in amazing.

Cons: Just avoid it. Staff had a bad behaviour and never made us feel confortable (The only time in our week in marocco). Rooms were old and dirty, the shower worked bad and the pool was not clean. A 3 star at best.

Pros: Upgrades and breakfast

Cons: Dining: service; limited menu; messy buffet

Pros: Beautiful location, breakfast (expensive) and pool.

Cons: Room wasn't ready until 15h15. Electricity plugs broken in the room. Wet carpet in the bathroom. When turning on the air-conditioning, it smelled really bad. Most of the TV channels weren't working. And most important; we had a reservation for a daughter as well (baby bed was normally included) but we didn't receive the bed as mentioned in the confirmation. As we were travelling and had a long journey behind us we hadn't the energy to complain and ask for another room. We just wanted to rest. We received an invoice without any discount, while they already had received all complaints.

Pros: View from location over the Medina

Cons: Seriously outdated

Pros: We came from egypt It was an awful experience the stuff are really bad i forget my money in the hotel and i went back to get them they took from them 40 denar kwety when i asked about the owner they talked very rude and not helpful and didnt find with them any solution ,it was a trip honeymoon for me and i will not ever recommend the hotel for any one thanks for this ugly experience and stealing our money

Cons: We came from egypt It was an awful experience the stuff are really bad i forget my money in the hotel and i went back to get them they took from them 40 denar kwety when i asked about the owner they talked very rude and not helpful and didnt find with them any solution ,it was a trip honeymoon for me and i will not ever recommend the hotel for any one thanks for this ugly experience and stealing our money

Pros: It was nice and set on its own grounds.

Cons: Far from everywhere and you have to walk far to get a taxi or get the hotel to call you one who will then charge you an extortionate price.

Pros: Nice breakfast

Cons: Rooms need updated.

Pros: The views from the hotel rooms were great. All rooms face something interesting- Médina, mountains, ruins. The breakfast was good. The room was quite comfortable and very spacious- it has a desk and chair and a massive bed with enough room to walk around.

Cons: Given that it is supposed to be a 5-star hotel, it fell short being a good 5-star instead it was a great 4-star hotel. Few fruits in our room were rotten, the room would have this damp smell after being shut for a few hours. The food at the restaurant wasn’t good, and instead tasted quite bland.

Pros: Luxury place, nice view of town, beautiful design

Cons: Far from medina, poor choice of food at restaurant

Pros: The staff were very friendly. Nice view terrasse. Very relaxed atmosfer. I loved it

Pros: The Hotel is very clean and well looked after. Loads of staff everywhere maintaining the upkeep of the property at all times. We thought it very well appointed if you don't want to madness of the Medina. It was a 15 minute walk into the Medina (albiet crossing a main road on the way) so you can jump into the craziness quite quickly but a 15 minute walk back and you're next to the pool on a lounger.

Cons: The only thing we'd say is that the hotel is very bland. You could be anywhere in the world really. The usual touristy buffet for breakfast (but hey it's included and its not bad), dodgy night time entertainment that boarders on bad Karaoke (I could sing better), young families and older tourists with bum bags and the pricing is high compared to eating/drinking in the Medina. For what we wanted though (a quiet pool holiday with something interesting to do when we got bored) it fulfilled what we were after.

Pros: The view was very charming.

Cons: The restaurant was not at the level of a 5 star hotel, the service was really low and the food was not good at all.

Pros: Spacious hotel outside Fez. Location outside the crowded and hot medina gives the advantage above a night in a riad in tghe medina. Easy acces.

Cons: The brochure promised traditional Maroc cuisine. Nothing seen of this on the menu.

Pros: we liked everything but the internet is just so bad that it takes more than 25 minuites toopen up a link and does not work atall in the rooms.

Cons: We were only given the buffet food option and would have liked to have been able to have a la carte options, rather than self-service with a coach party

Pros: Superb location overlooking the old city of Fes, good rate, helpful staff, large comfortable room, pleasant terraces and lounges with wonderful views, quiet location away from the hustle and bustle of the city, convenient for old city and new cities, good Moroccan restaurant.

Cons: No heating although the weather was cold (mid November), problem with smell of drains in the first room offered - we had to change, breakfast/dinner in international restaurant mediocre.

Pros: Large rooms

Cons: Bad mannered receptionist .

Pros: Only good thing was the location of the hotel.

Cons: Room was not clean when we checked-in. We defintely saw that someone laid down on the bed. We saw the marks on the bed. Also Leftover of someone else’s roomservice was left a whole day in the corridor. Only after the second time we mentioned it they took it away. Not worth the five stars!!!

Pros: This hotel is really nice but the staff are awful. This is supposedly a 5 star hotel. The facilities are nice but the staff should also offer a good service to guests which they failed to do. We wanted to add an extra bed to our room as we had an extra member of my family join us (which I was happy to pay for of course). Me and family had been travelling and were all very tired and wanted to sleep. The hotel were quick to take payment for the extra bed but it took them nearly two hours to actually bring the extra bed to the room. I kept trying to follow up on when it would arrive but the staff were all so relaxed. You don't expect this kind of service from any kind of hotel and especially a so called 5 star. After trying to call reception several times from my room to askwhen the bed would arrive so I could sleep they refused to pick up the phone. When I came down to reception there were three staff members all playing on their personal phones. I was so disspointed and angry! At check out, we checked out and made our way to the outdoor swimming pool for a few hours as our flight was not until later on that evening. We were told by the staff member at reception that after check out guests are not allowed to the use the pool or any hotel facilities. Being well travelled and having experienced hundreds of hotels around the world I have never come across this rule and was honestly shocked. The hotel was empty so this made no sense whatsoever. I don't recommend this hotel at all!!!!!!!

Cons: The staff were so relaxed, unprofessional which really ruins the overall hotel reputation. I will not be returning to this hotel and will not recommend it to any friends or family members!

Pros: The location is good

Cons: Very very dirty. Barely clean

Pros: The location

Cons: Very dirty and the staff very slow

Pros: Swimming pool

Cons: The staff at the reception

Pros: The hotel was fabulous. Staff were great. Pool excellent. Room clean and tidy with a lovely bathroom. Fantastic 3 days.. will definitely be back and recommend it to others.

Cons: Loved everything

Pros: Parking Close from fez mall Swimming pool good One night staff is very good

Cons: No internet the wifi very week and almost no signal. The house keeping not good as this hotel 5 stars.

Pros: Loved our patio overlooking the pool. The pool was great! The lovely lady at reception extended our stay at the same rate we initiially had without issues. There is a mall and Carrefour next to the hotel.

Pros: Location is fantastic, close to the new city and Mall next door

Cons: Very poor WiFi, rooms weren’t entirely clean and staff weren’t forthcoming to reasonable requests.
