Spent just one night here (cost €127 for two people) but it was great. Really what we needed after a 5.5 hour train journey to get to Fes. Rooms are good standard western four/five star hotel. Ours overlooked the back of the hotel (which is best), the pool, and the medina...amazing. The best part of the hotel is the bar which is set on an open-air balcony at the back of the hotel...overlooking the medina, none of the commercial centre in view. Staff were very friendly and helpful - organised english speaking tour guide etc, and the lady in the gift shop shared a taxi with us to the train station!
Amazing views...the best of the city and lovely big outdoor pool.
Drop me in a pool and let me make love while looking at Fes, the city of my morphogenetic past. This will make me belong to the first person I see when I snap out of the Gnawa style orgasmic trance. This is a lovely place to take in all of Fes - albeit in minature.

I did not stay in the Hotel itself but instead visited the Cafe Terrace from which you have a wonderful view over Fes. (The cocktails are not bad, either). A good place, too, if you want to view Fes at night in a probably safer environment than the Merinid Tombs. It is possible to walk up there beginning at the Bab el Mahrouk, or you can take a Petit Taxi.
