Great gym, room was dated, curtains didn't work, and there was sitting water on the balcony that made the smell terrible. The fragrance they pump in the lobby is extremely overpowering, if have to hold my breath or I would sneeze. Breakfast was great and staff we very nice!

The property was very nice but communication with the host was difficult because he only spoke French. Address was vague and had no specific number. It got us close to the apartment but we had to get actual decorations from the host and it was difficult.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

I enjoyed fez but not our lodging. You only need a few days in Fez.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Safe at night, very nice and friendly people. There are people like Marrakech in the street tried to get money from pointing directions, but not pushing. They are not rude even being declined (the people in Marrakech is worse)

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Fes is a unique city with so much to see. It’s a real feel of Morocco, the people are warm and hospitable, the food is wonderful, and it’s a vibrant place.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Be cautious of the faux guides on the streets who seem like they want to help you but will give you false information and also demand a tip at the end of their "service". Arrange for guides through the Riad or hotel at which you stay.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

I loved Fes and hope to return again soon. It is an enchanting and exhilarating place!
