I found my room to be lovely, The service was excellent. I was using a cane and there was always someone to help me go through the buffet at breakfast and or lunch . The buffets were copious and delicious... One evening I left a bracelet near the (free) computer and within 5 minutes, someone called my room to tell... More

The Sofitel Palais Jamai Fes occupies a palace at the NW entrance of the extraordinary Medina of Fes. The views of the Medina from the garden side rooms are the absolute high mark of the hotel. This view goes beyond, to the new city and Borj Sud and, in May, is punctuated by the elegant flight of the storks. The... More

We arrived in the evening after dark, but what a view of the city's lights below! This hotel is away from the hustle and bustle of Fez, and there's nothing better than better than getting back there after a full day of sightseeing. The rooms are beautifully decorated in Moroccan decor. The pool and spa are gorgeous, and there are... More

After warnings about how often tourists get lost in the Medina, a friend and I did our best to carefully map our way home. The medina, however, is much different at night and our fate mirrored that of many other confused visitors. After several attempts to find our riad, we went to the Palais Jamais and asked if someone would... More

Very warm welcome in the beautiful palace in the historical medina. Staff was really friendly and helpfull. We had a wonderful time and enjoying sunset drinks on the terrace overlooking the historical medina. Superb food in a wonderful atmosphere at the Morrocan restaurant, 1001 night at its best.

This is a beautiful palace hotel perfectly located near the Medina. The common areas were gorgeous. The pool and breakfast area very nice. The rooms were quite comfortable. The blow dryer in the room didn't work which was annoying but they brought a portable one. The wifi was very spotty while we were there. Recommended for anyone visiting Fez.

Look I was here for business, so I will only evaluate the hotel amenities. Wifi is slooooow, rooms are decent but old, definitely not 5 star level. Food is ok. Hotel obviously has history. If you are here for tourism apparently it is very well located in the heart of the old town.

Just returned from a trip that included two nights at Palis Jamai in Fes. The hotel has lots of potential but really needs someone to pay attention to how the hotel is run. Upon entering the room you could see the carpet is in serious need of cleaning. The room is bit cramped but truly we were not planing to... More

Although areas were still under construction, I really enjoyed the beauty of this former palace with its lovely gardens featuring fountains and caged birds. Even the elevators are drop-dead gorgeous. That said, my strongest memory of the hotel is using the lobby computer while someone from housekeeping thought that was the perfect time to vacuum under my feet. Second strongest... More

This hotel was simply spectacular. Although I had trouble (probably by my own doing) using the hotel's PC, the staff were very courteous in helping through the difficulty. Our room was beautiful and overlooked the pool area. The medina was just steps away.
