incl breakfast Dh275/350; ) A handy choice near the central market. Rooms are nondescript
but comfortable, and come equipped with bathroom, TV, phone and stylish brass bedsteads. Its
central location means it’s often heavily booked (it’s popular with tour groups), so call in
advance.

II; s/d Dh320/425; ) Cast from the bland tourist-class mould, this place is nevertheless good
value for the money. Rooms are solidly comfortable, with TV and bathroom; there’s also a bar
and a reasonable restaurant.

Hôtel Mounia €

Zerktouni; s/d incl breakfast from Dh351/462; ) A zellij lobby guides you into this modern
and classy hotel that’s popular with tour groups. Rooms are bright and tidy, with satellite TV.
The restaurant is fair, and there’s a smoky bar with plenty of water pipes. Rooms on corridors

Hôtel Royal €

shower only Dh100/140) Well-situated near Place Florence, this is one of the more reliable if
old-fashioned budget options. A few of the bathrooms are a bit clunky (hot water in mornings
only), but rooms are large and many come with balconies.

Youth Hostel €

8-10am, noon-3pm & 6-10pm) One of the better youth hostels in Morocco, the Fez branch is
well looked after, and right in the centre of the ville nouvelle. Tidy rooms and facilities (including
Western-style toilets) are superbly clean. If you’re not a Hostelling International (HI) member,
there’s a Dh5 surcharge. Cold showers mean that you should look to hammams – particularly in
winter.

Hôtel Menzeh Zalagh €€€

Diouri; s/d incl breakfast Dh950/1300; ) This four-star hotel has a great location, stretched
along a low ridge in a sinuous wave with amazing views across to Fès el-Bali, yet is convenient
to the centre. Rooms are full of modern comforts with a splash of traditional Moroccan decor,
and many come with balconies.

Hôtel Menzeh Fes €€€

( 0535 94 38 49; [email protected]; 28 Rue Abdeslam Serghini; s/d incl
breakfast Dh950/1300; ) Just up the road, Menzah Zalagh’s sister offers virtually identical
facilities, albeit with slightly smaller rooms.
