    Aircon wasn't super cold in the bedroom, but it was ok.

    Amazing staff firstly. Ibrahim spent time during our arrival and provided first class information and a detailed map of the Fes medina. His knowledge is invaluable and will make the visit a success. Moroccan breakfast was served by the pool. Music played around the pool during the day which was great. There is a car park 'next door' to the hotel (40MAD per day) but we parked literally outside the rear door to the hotel, so if you are arriving by car, this hotel is an excellent choice. Leave the hotel via the 'other' door and you are in the heart of the medina, so the location is really, really good.

    Superb staff - Hassan & Ibrahim were really nice and told us all of the sights. They also organised a taxi for us to the bus station and a guide for the medino tour. Superb location - one side of the hotel is onto the outside of the medina, so your taxi driver can drop you really close, whereas the other side of the hotel walks straight onto the main medina, meaning you get the best of both worlds. Superb stay - the room was really big and nice ano cold which was great for the August heat. The pool area and restaurant was also really nice. The breakfast was also one of the best we've had in Morocco, really varied so there is something for everyone. Definitely recommend this hotel.

    Everything was amazing!

    The location was fabulous. Right in the heart of the medina. The staff were available to answer any questions by message (pre arrival) and face to face after arrival, and nothing was too much trouble for them. Hassan and Hamid were brilliant and made us feel so comfortable. In fact ALL of the personel were amazing. The room was so comfortable and the air conditioning was amazing. We were so glad to have the use of the swimming pool and loungers as the weather was so warm. Breakfast was perfect with such food. We will return.

    The only thing that I can complain about is that the curtains allowed for too much light to enter the rooms right after sunset. The bathroom was perhaps a little too tight for a couple, even if I understand that cosy house divisions are part of the charm of a riad. The breakfast was quite good but I missed some kind of meat, like ham or sausages.

    The staff was 5 stars. And I rarely give 5 stars to anything. The riad has also a perfect location, with an exit right to a large parking and another straight to the heart of the medina. The terrace and the pool are the perfect refuge to relax or to entertain the kids after walking around in the bustling medina. The riad also works as a restaurant so it's a very nice choice to have some (or all) of your meals.

    A magnificent hotel in a superb location. One entrance leads directly from the parking area, while the other takes you straight into the old town - perfect for exploring! The breakfast was delicious, and the swimming pool was a lovely bonus. To our delight, we were upgraded to a much better room than the one we had originally booked, completely free of charge. The staff were exceptionally welcoming and genuinely friendly, which made our stay even more enjoyable

    We had an amazing time at Palais Shazam Spa. The location is perfect – right on the edge of the medina, so you’re close to everything without being in the middle of the hustle and bustle. It’s just a 5-minute walk to the Blue Gate, one of the main entrances to the old city. The staff (Ibrahim & Mohammed) were incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready with advice or assistance. Our room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable – a great place to relax after a full day exploring Fes. All in all, a fantastic place to stay – highly recommended!

    I did get this accommodation at a special price, which certainly made it value for money, and I'm not sure about the full price. The Palais' position in the Medina, quite close to the Blue Gate, made for an excellent location, although not so easy to find in the first instance. The room was large and the bed to my liking. I was very comfortable. The pool was a wonderful place to pass a couple of hours in the heat of the afternoon. It was calm and quiet, a place of real respite after spending the morning exploring the Medina and some of the more important sites. The staff were lovely, kind and helpful, and the food was generally good.

    Had an amazing stay at Palais Shazam. Hamid, who was one of the hosts, was excellent and really helpful and made sure our stay was very comfortable right from the start. The Lounge area by the swimming pool was amazing and great to just sit and relax. The Food, Room service and everything else was great. They also helped us arrange a private transfer for our onwards journey. Highly recommended!!
