"Small luxury hotel with beautifully decorated rooms and interior. Friendly staff and specially Zahra who made all arrangements for guides and chauffeur for us. I highly reccomend. "
"We were made to feel at home right away by an extremely friendly hotel staff. The hotel is well situated: close to shoping mall ,royal palace and Medina. Room was exactly like a normal 4 star hotel in France or Italy. Breakfast was excellent & reasonably priced with variety of western & local food available in buffet style layout + eggs & pancake cooked according to guests' tastes...Pool for kids and one for adults adjacent ( not huge but enough to have a good swim)In short; had good time, staff very friendly & hotel well situated in city. Would recommend a room facing boulevard or pool."

"Amazing hotel great service, I was able to check in early. Room was clean, swimming pool was great and refreshing during the summer heat. Walkable to the train station. A bit noisy by the street windows weren’t sealed. But I would recommend and will book again when visiting Fes. Thanks"
"Nice place has a lot of potential.
Took more money than what agreed through Expedia.
Not the most helpful of people ask for ice on a couple of occasions to no help.
The fridge is terrible for keeping anything close to cold.
Asked for an iron but to no help.
They do not change the bedsheets on every occasion of housekeeping.
Get your money exchanged else where they don’t give a good rate.
They think customer service is a smile only.
For a four star hotel it behaves as a two star. "
