The hotel was very luxurious and relaxing. We really enjoyed the hotel history and the fact that it was restored to its former glory. The courtyard was beautiful and the terrace with the views of the old Medina was stunning especially at night. The rooms were spacious and nicely decorated with local artisan pieces. Excellent All the staff were very welcoming , courteous and friendly.The service was excellent. 👌
Cons: If you have a car the free parking in front of the hotel can be very difficult and sometimes unavailable. You can use public parking up the hill from the hotel and you have to pay for it.

Cons: We booked at last minute so only the basic rooms available. I would have preferred a room with a bit more natural light but in all other regards perfectly comfortable. WiFi a bit sketchy but not unsurprising in the location

Palais Amani is the perfect location to stay in Fez and experience all that it has to offer. The rooms are lovely, the staff go above and beyond and are so welcoming. The food is delish and the setting for the restaurant is so special. This is an authentic Moroccan experience not to be missed.

We had a wonderful experience at the Palais Amani. The location and staff made our stay expectational. The staff communicated with us prior to arrival and all of our requests were taken care of - car transfer, guided tours, and they even opened up the kitchen early so we could have breakfast prior to departure. Wonderful experience!!!

Strange
Cons: First room, low ceiling and cramped. New room large but shabby, crumbling plaster in bathroom, shower faucet difficult to regulate. Door lead directly to,public court years. Drapes were heavy but holder to keep them back was broken. Could have easily been sewn back on. Treacherous walk to exterior of Medina. Had a huge crowd of people who made noise late at night then bombastic guest talking incessantly early in the morning. The Riad echoes and magnifies sounds.

We liked everything about this place, the staff is incredibly professional and kind. They can arrange everything for you and makes your holiday a dream! The Palais is beautiful, quiet, very clean, delicious breakfast & food at the restaurant. The Room is very well decorated, clean and the bed very comfortable. It’s in the middle of the Medina but it is so relaxing to enter Palais Amani and chill on the terrasse. We will definitely come back!!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Top notch service, cool, well-appointed room, friendly personable staff and ideal location on the Northern edge of the medina. I'd recommend this hotel to anyone looking to spend a couple days in Fes who wants to experience the medina from close up, while being able to retreat into a quiet oasis at the end of the day away from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding streets.
