Nothing Special

The hotel is just ok. Really nothing special. The staff were not rude, but I didn't find them to be particular warm and they were not terribly friendly to my Moroccan friend who was traveling with me. The bed options are limited if you are friends traveling. Either share a double bed or make due with a single bed each.

Loved Les Merinides in Fes

Les Merinides sits on a hill looking over the medina(old city). Worth it to get a medina view and balcony as I had. But even if you don't there is a large terrace you can lounge on to enjoy the view.
The staff was wonderful as was the dining.
The hotel itself is old and therefore a bit dated, with some peeling paint and slow plumbing, but this did not detract from my stay.
It was too cold to swim but the pool was inviting and the lounge chairs were great for reading.
Also its a short drive or slightly longer walk to the medina, so nicely located.
Just a note for coffee and tea lovers-none in the room.
I would stay here again.

One phrase: VERY OUTDATED!!! This would never deserve even a motel status in United States. The only good part is the view to the whole city. The staff is nice and friendly but the place need full remodeling. Broken curtains, old doors, hard as wood mattress... few things to mention. I wish owners of such historic properties will try to invest in renovation.

Our stay was pleasing as the hotel’s main attraction for us was the hilltop location with city views. The room we had was OK and bathroom sink drain and shower head were an issue. The buffet in food was limited for our vegetarian needs, but staff accommodated special requests. The adjacent historic view point/monument was easy to walk to and we saw an amazing sunset with city view below. Only wish the cars/motorcycles were not allowed to drive into historic spot as they ruin the expereicnce. Staff and services were pleasing.

Outdated, noisy and uncomfortable despite pricy

Writing from my room now, a diner in 3rd floor that's not letting sleep because of noise coming from moving tables and chairs for couple hours now.
Room is hot like....and AC is centrally off because they thought we dont need that in spring.
Furniture is ooooooold.
For all this you still have to pay a quite expensive price to stay here. My first and last for sure.

Beautiful view of Fez

This hotel had beautiful views of the city of Fez. Especially at sunrise/ sunset times when the city was bathed in the orange glow of light and many different species of birds were flying around . The hotel has a lot of Moroccon items in it which were interesting to look at. During our stay there was an exhibition of some paintings which we enjoyed. It was also a quiet place to stay and during the day we were able to sit outside and look at the lovely views of the city and of the well maintained hotel garden.
The room was big and the bed was comfortable.
The hotel has restaurants but there were no other restaurants or shops within a 5 to 10 min of the hotel. They also don't have a shuttle service into the city.
The breakfast was OK but not 5 star quality. Some of the bread items were good but others were not. The water for the tea was not warm and the boiled eggs were cold as well but the staff fetched more hot water for the tea.

Pushing for 5*, really 3.5*-4* hotel

We decided to have a dinner at a different hotel on the night of the arrival. We finished at around 11 pm and there was no taxi to take us back to Les Meridines. At the hotel where we had dinner we were suggested to call Les Meridines so they could send a taxi for us, but NOBODY was picking up a phone at Les Meridines. We were trying for about 40 minutes. Once we made our way back to Les Meridines we found that the guy on duty was simply sleeping and wasn't picking up any phone calls. Funny - the next day they told that they had problems with their phone line. Go figure out!

Bellissimo!

It is true that, as previous reviews mentioned, the rooms and pool are a little bit dated but this is more than made up for by the charming atmosphere and wonderful service. The view from the terrace in the evening overlooking the lights of Fes while listening to the synchronised adhans from the city mosques is a memory that will stay with us during the cold winter nights back home! A special mention for Mohammed at the front desk for his genuinely warm and humble welcome and for Azzeddine who took such good care of us on the terrace every evening. Keep up the good work, and we'll be back soon incha'Allah!

The only hotel to be located next to Borj Nord with a stunning view of the city, this place is worth a stay. Provides ample reason to just stay back in the hotel itself & enjoy the magnificent view from the room. The staff is courteous.. Places to visit are in walkable distance if one is up for a walk down the hill into the medina & places surrounding it..rooms need a bit of maintenance though

Great Location, Food, and Service

This hotel sits on a hill, overlooking the old city (gorgeous view!) It is very close to the medina, blue gate, a pottery school, and the jewish quarter. Easy to locate on our GPS. The pool is outdoors and is a good size. Parking is onsite with many spaces. We had two vehicles and had no problems parking right near the entrance. The service was very nice. The restaurant on site served delicious food. The selection was well varied with moroccan, american, and italian foods. For breakfast there was a buffet with an omelet station, moroccan pancakes, breads, cereals, fruit, cheese, ham etc... and it was included with the room. They arranged a guide for us who met us at the hotel and rode with us in our vehicle. I highly recommend a guide to see the sites. We had three rooms. On check-out day, they let us keep one of the rooms a little longer to keep our stuff in it and use the bathroom there until we were done with our tour of the city. The room came with a mini-fridge. Hot water/good water pressure. The negative parts of this hotel are that there is no place to charge your various electronic devices (we used one outlet and had to take out the cord to a lamp for it), the beds and pillows were very firm and uncomfortable, the rooms were very run down, and they were pretty small. We had the deluxe rooms which had two double beds put together and there was little room to walk around them. Overall, a nice stay with a great location, food and service.

Best view in Fez

I stayed for 2 nights at this hotel - it was fabulous! It is on a hill overlooking the medina, and the view is unbelievable. However, it does mean that you have to take a cab to the medina. Lovely pool and great breakfast buffet. Luxurious rooms with 2 king beds. The concierge went out of his way to look after my friend and I (2 women traveling alone), which was much appreciated. I highly recommend staying here.

We thought the hotel was nice. Service however was somewhat questionable. With the exception of one of the doorman who was really polite and went out of his was, we found the rest of the staff to be somewhat unfriendly. The hotel has a really nice view of the medina, and the surrounding are very nice. We would have proffered to have picked somewhere closer to the medina. For the price we paid, I didn't think that it represented value. If you are young or young at heart I would not recommend this hotel as it felt a little old. The breakfast was nice, view was magnificent. Terasse looked amazing.. I honestly thought we could have chosen a better place.

The views of the Medina are beautiful, especially at night. The beautiful and traditional Moroccan decor was exceptional. Being a bit out of city was nice after a long day seeing the wonderful city of Fez and a welcoming place to relax and have tea on the balcony or swim in the beautiful pool. Fez is not to be missed during a trip to Morocco and Les Merinides is a great place to stay!

Hôtel absolument fabuleux, où je suis allé pour la première fois avec me parents il y a 60 ans à l’âge de 8 ans. Nous habitions alors à Meknès. J’y suis ensuite retourné à de très nombreuses reprises, enfant, adolescent, marié, avec mes enfants. L’hôtel est somptueux et toujours parfaitement entretenu. Son emplacement sur les hauteurs de Fès en fait un lieu unique car on aune vie exceptionnelle sur la médina historique de Fès tapie au creux de la vallée où coule l’oued Fès. Un hôtel absolument unique, véritable palace tout à fait exceptionnel.

Hôtel Merinides Fes

Cet Hôtel doit etre entièrement rénové il est vraiment vieux avec une décoration datée de sa construction.
L'odeur de la cigarette dans les chambres est particulièrement désagréable. Malgré notre demande nous n'avons pas pu changer de chambre.
Le manque de transat et de serviettes n'est pas acceptable. Nous n'avons pas pu profiter pleinement de la piscine.
Le seul plus est la vue sur la medina depuis l'hôtel.

The receptionist was not happy with the price we payed trough expedia so there was a long wait before we got our room, but other than that this Hotel was a good experience.

There was a pack of wild dogs barking just outside the Hotel gates the whole night through, so I did not get a good night sleep. Why don't they do anything about this problem?
