Vakantie en citytrip naar Mikkes

Très bon emplacement

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.

According to the owner this used to be the house of a prominent family of Fes. This is not very apparent from the outside, as the building does not distinguish itself from neighboring buildings, but once you enter it, a complete new world emerges. The inner court is really impressive, architecturally speaking, and is also tastefully decorated. It has a 1920s vibe. My room was a standard room and it was fairly basic, but ok. I would have expected the bathroom to be a bit more up to standards. The riad is located in the middle of the medina, so you can't reach it by cab and have to walk through narrow alleys to actually reach it. This obviously adds to the experience, but has the disadvantage that you better be back in your riad before sunset. At least, that was recommended by the hotel staff, probably because of security concerns.
