Breanne
This is one of the highlights of our two-week trip to Morocco, and overall one of our favorite hotels we have ever stayed in. The staff was truly incredible, even by Moroccan standards (the Moroccan hospitality is unparalleled and we became accustomed to incredible welcoming service and attentive service throughout, but the Palais Amani team were on another level.) Nothing was out of the question if we asked, and they knew who we were from the very first day and always checked in to see how we were doing. We enjoyed 4 days here and would have loved even more time, from doing a spa package (pampering paradise for two), to lunch in the courtyard or on the roof, to evening drinks before dinner, to just sitting enjoying views over Fes from the rooftop. A truly beautiful hotel and memorable stay, we would (and already have!) recommend it to anyone going to Morocco in the future.
Thomas
Book the premier suite and get the private rooftop terrace. Incredible!
Ramon
Excellent and beautiful Ryan. Would stay again.
Jeffrey
An Oasis of hospitality! Such a wonderful place. Best hospitality staff I have ever encountered. Every experience, from the hamam bath, to Baking classes, to the wonderful dinners outside were top notch. They even sat me down for tea and Ghribas at check in ! Highly Recommended
Randall
Loved our stay! The staff was super friendly and helpful. We chose to use the on site spa and would highly recommend. Excellent!
Andrew

Wonderful experience. Staff/service were so kind and helpful. Rooms were so comfortable we didn't want to leave. Good location, close to the souks and also the main road (for taxi's to drop off)

Best Riad in Morocco
Wonderful stay! Every single detail was perfectly taken care of. Friendly staff. The nicest people in the hospitality industry.
Verified traveler
Large comfortable room with excellent service
The front desk was over the top helpful with all of our needs -bus tickets, translations, questions, PCR test. The Riad is close to the parking area so it’s easy to get your bags to the room.

Great hotel…10/10
Great, beautiful hotel. Amazing staff, especially Loubna who took care of everything. Place is an architectural marvel in of itself + would gladly stay here again!
Khalifa
This is not my first time to stay in this lovely boutique hotel. I enjoy my time just chilling in the lovely garden in the hotel drinking Moroccan tea (attay). The rooms are clean and the food is fresh. the staff are happy to serve you at any time. I would highly recommend and sure will visit again. Thanks to all the staff was in the Palais they are great.

Verified traveler
A beautiful, welcoming oasis
This is a gorgeous Riad with a lovely courtyard garden. Rooms are unique and ornately Moroccan. There are some minor imperfections but these are to be expected in a place of such originality and character. The rooftop terrace is a lovely place to relax at the end of the day and have mint tea. The service is outstanding! The food is good but not great, the riad’s weakest point, but I would recommend it without hesitation and would certainly stay here again.
K
Very noisy after hours
The main dining is just outside the room so if you have a group staying late for dinner and drinks after it can get very loud. We asked the front desk at around midnight to see if they could get the guests to lower the noise and nothing changed. Also if you sleep late, the noise is there in the morning. Other then that the experience was good.
Verified traveler
Seen as a 'walking dollar' sign.
Attitude by staff to guests, particularly in restaurant is bordering on rude. Very obvious one is seen as a 'walking dollar'. Restaurant bills need to be checked as do check-out details. Suites were considerably larger than classic rooms, but for guests in ground floor rooms definitely not private, unless you drew the curtains! Our classic room on first floor was very dark, small and narrow. The location in the medina was good. The photos of the hotel are basically accurate but there is no way to identify atmosphere!
Verified traveler
This was roughing it too much for me. I didn’t like the tannery smell right in the heart of fez. The alley ways are cool but I don’t like the smell and grunginess. The room was ok but dark and old. The sheets were itchy. There was a bug that flew out of the chocolate next to my bed. The food was not that great though the breakfast was nice. I wouldn’t return unfortunately.
Verified traveler
I think breakfast should have been included for the price.
Amit
Great place to stay.
It was a maze as is most of fez to find the place, but once found it's a great location, great service and environment.
Wasn't a fan of their restaurant, and expensive of course. Service was excellent but food was meh.

A true palace in Fez
A fabulous Riad ,second time we have stayed here and not the last !!

Great Riad to stay next to Fes' Medina!
A beautiful & very calm riad next to the medina with great food and great services!
Neil
A traditional accommodation within the Medina
First off, you should know that any structure within the Medina cannot be changed only renovated with restrictions. With that being said, the Palais Amani is a very traditional and vintage option if you want to be very near the action within the old walls. It shows it's age, but it also shows it's character. Staff is attentive and pleasant. Pretty good lunch and dinner options, though breakfast is basic. Rooms are quite large.
Unfortunately they are doing some light construction which affects the quality (peace) of the stay right now.

A gem in the Fes medina
We arrived in Marrakech from our ouvernight in the Sahara and what an amazing experience we had at the Palais Amani. Staff and even the owner were on site. Reception staff immensely helpful in arranging every little thing to make our stay perfect. Location is perfect and easy to get to by cab whether you come from the airport or simply want to cab it up to the Blue Gate for a dinner without the sweats.

We found this Riad to be a hidden gem, and we met other guests who liked the serenity and amenities of the place.

The hotel is a riad and is very charming with excellent facilities including a very good restaurant.
Pam
A Hidden Gem
The stay could not have been more perfect from the warm mint tea upon check in to the fabulous food, incredible accommodations and beautiful Moroccan decor. But most of all the pleasant completely accommodating staff. We even had lovely conversation with the owner & his wife. I would recommend it to anyone planning to visit Fes.

Wow, hotel with garden, fountain,like in a palace
Had a grand suite with morracan style decorations. High ceiling with big colorful art work glass windows, living room and huge bathroom with big tub and shower area seperately. Breakfast on terrace or garden area, have their own restaurant facility and very well decorated, elevator too.
Daniel
Magnificent Palace, well located
Extraordinary Hotel. Beautiful and well located in the Medina.
Excellent service and staff, great food!
The only matter we would like to repair is the transparent entrance door to our room ) No. 8 ) why not make it opaque like the windows

A beautiful gem at the doorstep of the Fez medina.
From the moment we arrived the service was outstanding. We were greeted warmly and given all the information about Fez and assistance we needed. The hotel, being a restored palace is absolutely beautiful and has the most stunning large central courtyard. Would love to stay there again.
Kat
Overpriced and for certain niche travelers
My experience started with two identical emails within 24 hours asking me a series of questions about my personal preferences and if I wanted to book other services they offer. Had I not answered the second, I likely would've gotten a third. I answered no to everything -- breakfast, day trips, taxi service, dinner in their restaurant, guided tour, spa/hamman, cooking and calligraphy lessons, etc.
Arriving at the riad, I'm asked where my friends and luggage are. My booking was for one, and I didn't know I needed more stuff. Served mint tea, which was the best I had during my month in Morocco, my details were collected.
Initially impressed by my room, I soon found three noise sources -- window facing one side of the alley, bathroom window facing other side of the alley going to souks, and room door allowing me to hear every voice and footstep in reception, hallways and riad's front door.
Wifi also wasn't working, which is fine if I were on holiday and intermittently checking email and posting photos. However, I needed it to work for a block of hours. The only place it worked was downstairs in the courtyard -- public, noisy, cold. And even this dropped.
Last thing is the grossly inflated prices of food and drink, day trips and services. Water is eight times the price outside the door. Day trips are double and triple the price, taxi service is triple and quadruple. If you're ignorant and want don't want to experience Morocco, Palais Amani is for you.

Serenity in the Fez, Medina\n
Stunningly beautiful oasis in the middle of the Fez, Medina. You walk up a narrow winding staircase and find yourself in front of a gorgeous wooden door. You enter into a delighful garden with beautiful tile work. Our room felt more like a small guest house (we had two floors) and the staff treats you like royalty. Beautiful roof deck bar, lovely food, and a warm and welcoming staff. Absolutely loved this place.

Great stay, very hospitable staff!
Fabulous hotel. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of the location. It's not in the happening part of town, so you can't walk to cafés, restaurants, etc., but that area is a quick cab ride away.

Beautiful and Great Service
Very beautiful riad with great service. Always very helpful.

great location in old medina
Great in all aspects but it is at up-market end of the range. A very good experience and haven from the hectic Morrocan lifestyle.
Food was good but really a bit overpriced for quality and amount.
We had a delightful personal orientation tour of Fes - really good start to the stay.
