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.

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.

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.

Définitivement top de Fès
Un logement extra-ordinaire et le service est parfait. La reception et les personnes de restaurant sont toujours gentils et doux. Sand doute, c'est le meilleur de Fès.

One phrase: VERY OUTDATED!!!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.

Found broken glass on carpet so cleanliness could improve. We were allowed to sit at a balcony upstairs which was really nice and private. Sometimes food at breakfast ran out but staff would bring more when asked.

Great hotel with very nice staff and outstanding view to the medina from the pool only...!!! There is nothing outside the hotel as you need to get a taxi to go anywhere or within 15min walk to Bab Boujloud...!!! As I say great hotel to enjoy the pool area and the views during summertime...!! It was great to talk with Omar from restaurant during my stay !!
