After visiting Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail, make a plan to see the other sights and activities in Al Machouar – Stinia. Amble around the area's gardens or visit its monuments.
"Don’t stay here unless cheapness or closeness to the train station is imperative. Elevator is a rickety old coffin made in the 80s with missing buttons and things to together with duct tape, the lobby call button is held on with a zip tie, my shower head was broken so non of the water came from the main nozzle, came out the sides and the drain didn’t work quickly so if you were in there more than 5 mins the water level would rise and flood the bathroom, the toilet button was snapped off and the first time I used it it worked and then didn’t work again as the water would constantly flow so couldn’t flush the toilet, ask them at reception to fix, said someone would come, they didn’t, asked them again, same thing, didn’t bother asking again. Fez is really hot compared to other cities in Morocco, it was like 29C - 32C the whole time I was there, my air condition unit was ancient, didn’t work, only pumped out warm air, learned this the first night, the next day u went down stairs to ask about the air conditioning, wether maybe I was using it wrong or if I could be moved to another room with working aircon, they said no aircon doesn’t work in any room, no idea if that’s true but it was sweltering hot for someone from a cold country like me and she was really rude and aircon was in the promised amenities, so if you do come her don’t come in spring or summer coz you’ll sweat to death, I asked them if I could get an electrical fan since the air con didn’t work, she made a face said no"
"Absolutely stunning place. Friendly staff ready with helpful recommendations. Very friendly owner! Great location just outside of the Medina. You can pretty much walk to all that Fes offers"
"we were nervous when we first arrived because we had to travel thru the medina to get to the Riad...the roads were like alleys-dark, spooky..like going thru a maze...google maps were not accurate..however, once we found it and came inside, Alassala was fabulous, the staff was excellent, the food was good, the rooms were fabulous, one staff member "Ali" went out of his way to help us with suggestions of where to go and how to get there"
"Its a clean and nicely located Ryad, just that the smaller room we stayed in was not something we were expecting , but this wasnt their problem, rather mine in choosing"
"Hotel Sahrai was exceptional! A beautifully designed hotel for a great price! Rooms were beautiful and clean and bathroom beautifully designed and spacious. The beds were very comfortable, great pool, fantastic food! , check in with tea and pasties to the room were all special touches. The staff bent over backwards to accommodate us- and let us checkout late since we had a late flight. The breakfast was delicious and bar was open late for drinks and music at Jungle- very fun! The food - Italian and moroccoan and Lebanese were all amazing! The pizza, foccacia, and sandwiches were more delicious than in NYC! prices for drinks and food were reasonable too. I would definitely stay again soon, I hope! Fantastic stay at great prices!"
