Room quality: Decent. But, I had problems with having a shower. In general the hotel is nice, but I had two gripes: firstly, the restaurants in the hotel are not great; the selection is very limited, the opening times were not ideal if you wanted an early dinner. The local area did not offer a great selection to venture out to. Secondly, I wanted to collect a local map from the concierge, who instead directed me to the hotel's tour guide that would take me around Fes. When you come to a place like this, keep in mind that money drives everything; the virtual refusal of giving me a map meant that I was dependent upon the tour guide and other hotel services. When talking to the tour guide, the guide's objective is simple: get you to spend money, and ideally through him. Anything I wanted to do - have a trip out of the city, visit other cities, visit other cities hundreds of km from Fes, walk around Fes,... - was available at a price. Some people would love that. Others might question the authenticity, and realise that their stay is completely dependent upon the concierge and the tour-guide.

Si tratta di un tipico grande hotel utilizzato per lo più da gruppi di viaggi organizzati. La posizione è eccellente per coloro che desirano tutti i comfort e allo stesso tempo essere a pochi minuti a piedi dalla medina (la parte vecchia della città). Le camere a due letti sono grandi e pulitissime e quelle che si affacciano sulla medina (come la nostra) godono di un bellissimo panorama sulla medina. Lo staff è molto gentile e la colazione a buffet è piuttosto soddisfacente.

Chambre pour 3 spacieuse, 3 vrais lit et non pas de lit pliant supplémentaire pour ma fille, donc pas de supplément de prix!Grande salle de bain également, dommage que les fenêtres soient bloquées, petit frigo bien appréciable, buffet du petit déjeuner correct Points négatifs : la clim ne fonctionnait pas, des travaux en contrebas du parc de l'hôtel, ne pas manger au snack car prix excessifs pour la nourriture servie, ne pas demander au personnel de la réception de conseil pour manger à l'extérieur, on vous conseillera des resto hors de prix!!!! Hôtel correct pour quelques nuits, je n'y serait pas restée 10 jours!

There is no way that this hotel should be advertised as four star quality. My room was dirty, the air conditioning was broken, and I could hear everything going on around me (in other rooms and outside). Most of the outlets didn't work and two lightbulbs were burnt out. None of these things would have bothered me, if the hotel were less expensive and advertised itself more modestly. If you stay here, be sure to ask for a room far away from the nightclub. Even the pool was a little disappointing as the DJ has a penchant for loud, lewd rap music. Also, the breakfast was not very good. You'll get a better breakfast at almost any cafe or patisserie. There were a few advantages to staying at this hotel. The most obvious is that if you are a newly arrived student waiting to enroll at ALIF, this is a very convenient location. Also, there's a balcony with a very nice view of the city where you can sit and read without anyone bothering you. However, I still don't recommend staying here if you can avoid it. Your money is much better spent elsewhere. Fes is a wonderful city and I recommend finding a hotel or riad in the medina (old city), if you can.

Our first experience was bad at this hotel. We arrived quite late one evening on a very cold night in March.The room provided had numerous problems with it. The TV didn't work, the telephone didn't work, the heater didn't work and the sink was blocked. It was too cold to stay there and eventually they transferred us to a better room where the heater worked. However we were kept awake at night by loud live music being played in a room above. We stayed four nights altogether because overall it was value for money with a reasonable continental breakfast, although not really a buffet as advertised, and a good view. The staff were helpful and it is conveniently located.

Nothing

I recommand this Hotel to everbody. Very good service.

Do not expect the four-star rating to be like a four-star in the U.S. I had a single room that luckily turned out to be a double bed, and not a twin-size, as was alluded to in the booking. It is in the Ville Nouvelle (newer, French-influenced quarter) but not around anything special or enticing tourist-wise. I found it convenient as a student waiting to move in at the ALIF school. Reservations cannot be canceled and refunded, so be sure that you are set on this hotel when you reserve. There is a nice cafe one block away and a simple espresso/crepe shop across the street. The old medina is only a 10 minute taxi ride (about 10-15 dh) away, so that is fairly easy to access. The single room is simple and small. The bathroom barely had hot water and it was not consistent. My drain did not work and there are no wash cloths. They did give me two sets of bath & hand towels a day, though, and the maids are nice. Women traveling alone may feel partially scrutinized, and most employees speak French or French-Arabic. Few speak English, but those at the main desk do, which eases some of the check-in issues.
