Guide from a desert tour called all the riads and this one was the only one who refused to send someone to meet the van. From what I understand it was the owner. Considering how confusing the ages medina is this was a shock. Check in was good, facilities are beautiful at first sight. There was a lot of dust and some dead flies in the room. The shower head was broken, it would spray in all directions. Water was lukewarm, unfortunate with the huge tub in the bathroom. I went out for dinner and drinks the first night and when I returned I couldn’t get back in. I used the buzzer 4 times. Thankfully I was with a friend and his family had an extra room. Otherwise I would have been stranded as a solo female traveller. When I returned the next day I couldn’t find any staff to speak with about this. When I returned from a tour of Fez at 6pm my room hadn’t been cleaned. I had a full garbage and no more toilet paper. On my last day I tried to bathe, the shower head broke completely. When I went to check out I couldn’t find someone at first. The best staff member was this gentleman. I mentioned I needed to get a taxi to the train station and he actually took me there. Honestly, it’s kind of odd here, it’s empty most of the time, including empty of staff. I find it frustrating that I paid for two nights and couldn’t even enter my first night. Overall…beautiful spot but needs updating and more cleaning. Service is lacking.

The stay here was an amazing experience. The staff are kind and helpful.The food was sooo good and their house wine was perfect with the meals!
The pools felt great after long hot days, the patio with the desert breeze was wonderful at night. The internet worked in public areas but we didn’t mind because it was so pleasant to just sit and enjoy the ambience. Rooms are clean and air conditioned. Just be aware the portions of food are so large you’ll be stuffed!

The hotel is unique in the sense that it’s an old palace. But because it was original, things were a bit dated. The restaurant area was nice but the food was overpriced and was just ok. The service was also just ok because they forgot certain things when we asked them to set something up. We ended up paying more for dinner because the waiter kept pushing us to get more things and misunderstood us and brought us stuff extra. Reception area was not easy to find. The best part is that this place is pretty close to the blue gate and entry to the Medina. Other than that, it’s definitely overpriced for what you get.

Pretty Riad in the medina. Over all not worth the price. Owner does not seem trust worthy. Offers free guide to take you to his friends shops with over priced merchandise. I booked a suite and they tried to say a regular room was the same as the suite I booked. Classic bait and switch. Left a pair of sun glasses on table and staff said they didn't find them despite there only be about 10 guests staying there. Service extremely slow. Spa ok but very expensive

From the moment we set foot in the hotel we knew we had made a mistake ! We were never checked in properly or welcomed or explained to where anything was . Rooms were not what we had booked . Service appalling. Swimming pools so dirty and cold we could not use . Spa and treatments a total rip off and not proper procedures carried out . Restaurant very expensive and one meal was inedible . Drinks were extortionate and warm . The roof terrace was filthy and not pleasant to use . This is the 6th time I have been to Morrocco and 2nd time in Fes and have never experienced anything like this before . This was also the most expensive hotel I have ever stayed in while in Morrocco. When trying to sort this out with the owner , he was arrogant and down right rude . To totally finish our trip off , two of my friends who were with me had their phone chargers stolen and replaced with old tatty ones . They also did nothing to rectify the situation . We booked for 7 nights to celebrate my 50th Birthday . There were 9 of us in 4 rooms . What a total let down , totally disappointed with the hotel and service . Certainly won’t forget it . But unfortunately it will be memorable for all the wrong reasons . The Manager gave us a 30% discount on our bill , but it was nowhere near the discount that we should have received for our absolutely diabolical experience . Really don’t want anybody else to have to go through what we did at this so called luxury Palace . Avoid as it is disgraceful .

We reserved two junior suites and they were vastly different. One was a very standard room, the other what I’d call a suite.
It rained when we were there and there were few common spaces to go to that were warm. The roof deck was less appealing than I’ve seen in most other high end riads. The restaurant seemed set up to host events, not have a lovely local dinner (again, like other riads). There is so much potential in this property.

An oasis of peace, well located, excellent rooms, friendly and helpful staff. Speedy WIFI at the Patio, a little choppy in the rooms. Absolutely recommended.

This is the most famous luxury hotel in the region. This gem is an extraordinary palace with spectacular architecture ! We were welcomed by a very courteous and attentive service: they made us feel home. The suite was gorgeous, very luxurious, clean and exceptionally designed in accordance with traditions. Every detail is designed to perfection. Very comfy bed and beautiful bathroom. We had an exquisite dinner in the famous Moroccan restaurant. The palace is very romantic and we almost did not leave this gracious environment for the whole stay. The spa is spectacular with the finest technologies perfectly mixed with the stylish traditional design. The view on the Medina from the panoramic terrace is amazing. The location of the palace is also perfect to visit Fez and very practical since it has direct access by car. The reception service and management did an excellent job helping us to arrange the rest of our trip : this is what I call exceptional 5 star service !

The hotel was very disorganized. I ordered a coke at the courtyard bar with ice, 15-20 minutes later the bartender apologized that they didn't have any ice in the hotel. I sent my shirt to be laundered and after inquiring once and being promised it would be sent up to my room I had to call the front desk to report that it hadn't arrived. A bigger issue was that the air conditioning in our room barely work at all. They promised that they would fix it and said that they had fixed it when we returned after a day of touring. When the temperature was only slightly cooler than the outside temperature after running all day we called again and they came to repair it. They cleaned the filter (very dirty) and topped off the coolant in the system. This sort of fixed the problem for about 12 hours. When we returned from our next day of touring the temperature was again barely above the outside air temperature.

I am amazed that other travelers rated this as a 5-star hotel. I think that 3-3.5 would be more appropriate. The hotel is in a relatively good location; however, upon arrival there is no one at the front door - simply a metal detector!! Not exactly the welcome I was hoping for. The hotel is nice but looks a bit 'tired' - More renovations are needed. The elevator was out of commission the entire time we were there (3 nights) - necessitating a walk up three flights of stairs to get to our room. The wait staff at the restaurant were wonderful, but the front desk people in general were not too knowledgable or helpful.

I nice hotel located in central position. The shower is not equipped with a curtain so after the shower, so much water is formed on the floor.

This hotel could be really great. The wait staff, in particular, were very attentive and professional. However, the renovations that seem to be taking place are not yet fully realized. When you arrive at the hotel, there is a security machine at the entrance--hardly a warm welcome (without a human, that is!) The elevator did not work throughout our stay, necessitating a walk up three flights of stairs (thank goodness our companion of 75 years old is in good condition.) We frequently needed to ask for items such as towels, water, etc. The front desk people were very nice, but not particularly helpful.

Disappointing, besides a bad check in experience (over an hr), our room was lacking things like water, tissues, towels, etc. There were issues with a wine switch at dinner, doubling the cost and they tried to ignore our agreed upon price for the room and charge hundreds more. Both of those items were brought up to manager and corrected upon checkout. Also, courtyard and tables were not completely cleaned up from dinner so when we arrived for breakfast, dinner glasses and bottles, etc were still left out. Not the quality of a hotel I would recommend or stay at ever again.

A legendary Palace with extraordinary service, amazing architecture, an enchanting Spa and the best Moroccan restaurant ever! We have read a very elogious press article on this luxury hotel which convinced us to stay here : It exceeded all our expectations !!! The Spa is a stunning oriental oasis with cutting-edge equipment and fantastic staff ! We had a very relaxing Hammam and an enchanting day sunbathing and swimming in the amazing pools. We also had a massage which was extremely pleasant with very high quality products from Anne Semonin and very competent staff. A special mention to the inner pool of the spa which is a design and technology masterpiece ! The Suite was superb with a magnificent decoration ( refined antiquities, beautiful traditional artworks... ) and romantic atmosphere. We had a beautiful view on the luxuriant garden, a very large comfortable bed and the most beautiful hand-made details I have ever seen in a hotel suite ! The bathroom is very spacious and has excellent equipment. The diner in the patio is delicious and the Moroccan gastronomical menu is a pleasure for senses and it is difficult to convey the beauty of this restaurant in words... Simply gorgeous !!!! There was a very famous american rock-star staying at the hotel at the same period, we have very much appreciated the fact that all guests at the hotel were treated with the same personalized attentions : the staff was always attentive to our needs, very professional and extremely kind.
