Although areas were still under construction, I really enjoyed the beauty of this former palace with its lovely gardens featuring fountains and caged birds. Even the elevators are drop-dead gorgeous. That said, my strongest memory of the hotel is using the lobby computer while someone from housekeeping thought that was the perfect time to vacuum under my feet. Second strongest... More

This hotel was simply spectacular. Although I had trouble (probably by my own doing) using the hotel's PC, the staff were very courteous in helping through the difficulty. Our room was beautiful and overlooked the pool area. The medina was just steps away.

We stayed here two nights and found the hotel 's general facilities to be in the top quality. However, the tiles in the bath room must be better cleaned because there were some moles there. The breakfast was fine and the wifi was quite fast.

On arrival at midnight I was shown to a room that felt like a prison cell. The Internet did not work, the electrical system was less than safe, extension wires everywhere and there was no free standing shower, not even in the bath. I spoke with reception they tried to get the Internet fixed but to no avail, at 1.30... More

From the balcony overlooking the swimming pool and the garden, you have a great view of the old Medina. From the entrance of the hotel you can easily walk into the Medina. Ask the hotel to provide you with a good guide. The Medina in Fes is a maze and labyrinth,and has an impressive number of sites to see. If... More

This place is stuck in the past, living a a reputation that perhaps at one time meant something. TIred best describes the ambience and the staff. The room with it's old carpet and lack of maintenance comes immediately to ones attention. This of course makes the room not a nice place to come back to at the end of a... More

We recently spent 3 night in Fes at the Palais Jamal. The hotel and grounds are gorgeous. We selected rooms that overlooked the city and they were worth every penny. While I agree the rooms are old (the building dates back to the late 1800s), they were comfortable and elegant. The beds were luxurious. Our room had a balcony and... More
