If you wanted to be treated like royalty for a very reasonable price-- an amazing value -- this is your hotel in Fez. It is the only place to consider. From the moment our unlikely trio of grandmother, daughter and 23 month old grandson were greeted at the Tangier Ferry, we received a royal welcome. As a frequent traveler with... More

It is disappointing to have to write such a report on this famous hotel, which has been an institution in Fes ever since it opened as a hotel. In summary, it just has to be said that it is obviously very-badly managed these days. It is run-down, and shabby, in so many respects. For instance, it seems as if the... More

Stayed here two nights last year part of The Global Scavenger Hunt travel adventure...a great place in the center of the old city and near the famed souk...a walk left, a walk right and you are there!. The grounds are stunning and the restaurant is fabulous...the staff is warm and helpful!

The overall decor of hotel and rooms is superb; our room had a balcony overlooking pool and medina and was large and comfortable. Only complaint with room was excessive bird droppings on balcony. Meals excellent (both in Moroccan and European restaurants); pool heated and large; nice bar with occasional entertainment - prices a bit high, as are all hotel bars... More

The Palais Jamais de Fes is an hotel in which superficiality and dis-attention can make you lose the comparative advantage of having the privilege of staying in a place like this: immersed into the history but strongly relying on modern services highest standards. The Palace is really special, beautiful to the smallest detail, but the attention of the staff make... More

Our room on the 4th floor had a balcony from which we had a stunning view of the medina. We slept well (good matress) the two nights we were there despite the more than 360 mosques in the city and enjoyed the visit to the medina. The rooms are getting worn down and at the price paid one would expect... More

We headed to the Sofitel for drinks at sunset as a guide book had recommended it as a perfect spot. It was too cold to be outside to watch the sunset so we sat in the window of the bar, however it is not the best view over Fez from inside so, so not the effect we were looking for... More

A very comfortable hotel which is well-located on the edge of the Medina. Could not fault it. Even the standard rooms were very comfortable and well appointed. Given the number of guests (and many tour groups) the service was excellent. The in-house restaurant serving Morrocan food was surprisingly good.

Had a great experience at the Palais Jamai. Great and convenient location inside the medina (just be on the lookout for "fake guides" waiting for tourists right outside the hotel - they will follow you and harass you for hours as you make for the medina!) , great service, and nice rooms. The staff is very attentive and helpful. Service... More
