Vakantie en citytrip naar Fes

Nice hotel within a beautiful building. However, the bathroom had a pungent smell of urine, almost like a previous visitor had urinated on the wooden furniture or the walls. Despite alerting the hotel crew, no action was taken apart from discharging the toilet a couple of times. The hotel seems to be managed by temporary workers who rotate and hardly (or don't) speak french or english and our breakfast (eggs) was served cold on both days. Summarized: nice room (royal suite), but the services and breakfast were below the level of what we experienced in a nearby Riad of 25eur/night the day before.

This riad is absolutely stunning. Located in a quiet street in the old medina, yet close walking distance to the souk, famous blue gate and more. The riad is beautifully decorated, beautiful courtyard with a fountain. There's a rooftop terrace with an amazing view of the medina. Breakfast was simple but with delicious Morrocan treats everyday.

The location is about a 15 minute walk from the Main Street in the Medina and Fez is a maze. Google Maps works okay but Apple Maps didn’t work well at all. There are no shops near the Riad itself. The staff was friendly and ended up upgrading my room, which was nice. There was definitely some price gouging issues though. Don’t let them take you shopping, they’re fishing for a kick back from the sellers. Also, if they order you a taxi, it will be twice to three times as much if you just walk to a gate and get one on your own.
