Nothing Special
The hotel is just ok. Really nothing special. The staff were not rude, but I didn't find them to be particular warm and they were not terribly friendly to my Moroccan friend who was traveling with me. The bed options are limited if you are friends traveling. Either share a double bed or make due with a single bed each.

Loved Les Merinides in Fes
Les Merinides sits on a hill looking over the medina(old city). Worth it to get a medina view and balcony as I had. But even if you don't there is a large terrace you can lounge on to enjoy the view.
The staff was wonderful as was the dining.
The hotel itself is old and therefore a bit dated, with some peeling paint and slow plumbing, but this did not detract from my stay.
It was too cold to swim but the pool was inviting and the lounge chairs were great for reading.
Also its a short drive or slightly longer walk to the medina, so nicely located.
Just a note for coffee and tea lovers-none in the room.
I would stay here again.

Définitivement top de Fès
Un logement extra-ordinaire et le service est parfait. La reception et les personnes de restaurant sont toujours gentils et doux. Sand doute, c'est le meilleur de Fès.

One phrase: VERY OUTDATED!!! This would never deserve even a motel status in United States. The only good part is the view to the whole city. The staff is nice and friendly but the place need full remodeling. Broken curtains, old doors, hard as wood mattress... few things to mention. I wish owners of such historic properties will try to invest in renovation.
