Taza-Hoceima-Taounate Holidays from £192

I’ll start with the good. The location is great and the staff with the exception of the general manager is very kind and eager, going out of their way to be helpful! The general manager put us off from the start. He really wanted to control every aspect of our stay in the city and was very critical of us for booking restaurants and tours on our own . In fact, one tour company that we used said they had many problems with our Riad not sending the guests on the tours they had pre- booked with them. There was definite tension between the two parties leaving us to question who to trust. Our hotel manager kept warning us that we would be taken advantage of by sellers . None of this made us feel good about our choices! The hotel is very beautiful in its architecture but definitely needs updating in its furnishings. The rooms are not the comfort level one expects for the price ( i.e. the linens and pillows are not good quality, there is a lack of basic incidentals like Kleenex , the bathroom lighting is insufficient, and the furniture is stained and worn. Overall I would not recommend this hotel for the price. Also beware of the room you are booking.., our friends had no shower and had to go up 6 steep stairs to use their bathroom.

We visited Fes for two nights in April and found these accommodations more than adequate for our family weekend holiday. The desk, cleaning, and service staff were exceptional. The riad is beautiful and the decor charming, though it is a bit dark with an enclosed courtyard outside the rooms. The "pool" is actually more like a fountain in the main courtyard and it was empty during our April stay. The traditional Moroccan breakfast was delicious. The location is within five minutes of a main gate and parking; a big plus in a city like Fes.

Lovely hotel. Staff very lovely. Room was large. Food available on site. Ordered an omelette with salad and it was fresh. Would stay here again
