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."

Opinion of Price: most expensive

Riad Saada: The Real Deal

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.

Sheraton: Sheraton

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)

Ibis Moussafir: Cheap and convenient

I usually try to stay local and avoid chains. But this was right next to the train station, in a quiet area, and very comfortable, all for a good price.

None of present day...

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.
