Palace Jamai Hotel: Lodging within the Medina

    The place to stay in Fez. The hotel is an ancient palace that once belonged to a grand vizier to a 19th century sultan.

    As you would expect the architecture is ornate, the gardens lovely, the rooms spacious, the service impeccable, the bar extremely expensive.

    The call to prayer at 4:30 in the morning.

    The medina has some fifty separate mosques and each morning the muezzin climbs atop the minaret to summon the faithful to morning prayer. The amplified calls echo and reverberate throughout the medina. It seems to go on forever. It is quite eerie in the still darkness of early morning, but also quite hauntingly beautiful

    Of course the call is in Arabic, but translated it goes something like this: "Allah is great. I confess that there is no God but Allah. I confess that Mohamed is his messenger. Call for prayer, call for prayer."

    I did get a better price for Sheraton at Fes through their web page.
    The hotel from a walking distance from the train station, with a good service.
    Rooms and beds are really big but in general I did find this hotel ok but not great.
    The breakfast is very basic. The morocco restaurant of the hotel was ok.
    At the door of the hotel you will find guides to help you to go through the city's labyrinth. (as claudine "cbeaujean" have told me, it is normal to find guides at the doors of Fes' hotels)

    Palace Jamai
    by Luchonda
    Moment-moment - i just stayed here for the afternoon at the occasion of a business meeting. A perfect diner was served, tea or coffee at one of the many terraces and little private corners, encharmed by the Andalousian garden.
    Quoting Lou Reed : "Just a perfect day"

    In origin this unique palace was builded in 1879 as a residence for the Jamai Family
    In 1930 the palace changed into a hotel and together with the Mamounie hotel in Marrakesh - it is the best you can get in Morocco
    The marvelous Andalousian garden, a lot of fountains - a big swimmingpool with view on the city, and many terraces - where tea and some local specs are served.

    Check out my Fes page for more details about the Riad Saada.

    I highly recommend it.

    Like most of our accommodations, the rooms were chilly (no heat in the winter) but they had space heaters, which helped a lot!

    Meals were provided on request.

    None of present day accomodation may equal the ancient student houses, called medressa (the inner yard of one of them is in the picture beside).
    Hotel Splendid - 9, Rue Abdelkarim el-Khattabi - (05) 5622148, fax 5654892
    35 Euro for a double room, with hot running water, breakfast not included. They accept credit cards, but it appears the machine is commonly out of order (!). Anyway an ATM is 100 metres away along the same street
    Hotel Ibis - beside the railway station, in the same place.
    It is a completely new one. we did not go there, but it might be easy to reach and reasonably priced.
    In the area behind the Post Office (Place Florence) and around the central Market, you will find a lot of hotels, not the fashionable ones, but the average standard one.

  • Ibis hotel is relqtively chea if you are not quite a backpackers. When we're travelling as husband+wife, a minimum degree of comfort and privacy is needed. Ibis hotel offers a cheap level of it.

    Sorry no pics of the hotel.

    It is also located right next to a train station that offers us connection to other cities. Exactly right next to it.

    This is a budget/backpacker Hostel at the Bab Bou Jeloud entrance to the Medina. The rooms are cheap and simple and the staff indifferent. The views from the terrace on the top are very nice though.
    Prices are around 60 Dirhams for a single room and 120 for a double.

    The staff at the street cafes outside the Hotel are very pushy and quite rude

    Great views of the medina from the rooftop terrace

    Dar Roumana: Wonderful riad in Fes

    Breakfast in the riad
    by nancyw
    Dar Roumana isn't officially open yet - but luckily for me, Jennifer Smith has begun welcoming a few guests to the beautiful riad she is restoring.

    After a ten minute walk though the maze of the medina, down a nondescript hallway, Jennifer opened the door to a stunning courtyard.

    The tilework, decorative carved stucco and decorations are stunning. Jennifer, a young American who has lived in Fes for three years, describes the terrace as the jewel of the house. It is a spectacular and comfortable place to relax and enjoy the view, whether while having breakfast or enjoying the sunset.

    I suspect that Dar Roumana will quickly become one of the hottest properties in Fes - and deservedly so.

    The facility is wonderful, but what made my stay unique was Jennifer and the atmosphere she has created.

    From the time she greeted me to guide me through the medina, until the hug as I departed, Jennifer did everything possible to make my stay memorable.

    Jennifer helped me find an ATM (no mean feat in the medina); took me to the public hammam; arranged a private cooking lesson with her housekeeper (with Jennifer translating); and joined in the fun and interesting conversations with a couple from Germany.

    Without Jennifer's willingness to share her perspectives on life in Fes, I'd never have gotten such an interesting glimpse into this fascinating place.

    by markeveleigh
    As we drank tea in the cool marble inner patio of Dar al Andalous, Mohammed Kadiri and his wife Nawal told me how they began converting this palace just two years ago.
    “This is one of the few parts of the Fez medina that is accessible to vehicles,” Mr Kadiri pointed out. “It made work a lot easier - there was a lot to do, not only structurally, but also with fitting air-con and extra plumbing for the hammam and Jacuzzis in the suites. It is also a major factor for many clients who come here with hire cars and find that other riads are effectively off-limits to them.”

    A very standard hotel in a centrally located position. Very pleasant, nothing outstanding either way.

    We enjoyed the dinner here one evening, soup, tasty lamb and chips followed by the most delicious chocholate mousse for pudding!

    Comfortable bar.
