Palais Sheherazade & Spa

From the moment we set foot in the hotel we knew we had made a mistake ! We were never checked in properly or welcomed or explained to where anything was . Rooms were not what we had booked . Service appalling. Swimming pools so dirty and cold we could not use . Spa and treatments a total rip off and not proper procedures carried out . Restaurant very expensive and one meal was inedible . Drinks were extortionate and warm . The roof terrace was filthy and not pleasant to use . This is the 6th time I have been to Morrocco and 2nd time in Fes and have never experienced anything like this before . This was also the most expensive hotel I have ever stayed in while in Morrocco. When trying to sort this out with the owner , he was arrogant and down right rude . To totally finish our trip off , two of my friends who were with me had their phone chargers stolen and replaced with old tatty ones . They also did nothing to rectify the situation . We booked for 7 nights to celebrate my 50th Birthday . There were 9 of us in 4 rooms . What a total let down , totally disappointed with the hotel and service . Certainly won’t forget it . But unfortunately it will be memorable for all the wrong reasons . The Manager gave us a 30% discount on our bill , but it was nowhere near the discount that we should have received for our absolutely diabolical experience . Really don’t want anybody else to have to go through what we did at this so called luxury Palace . Avoid as it is disgraceful .

An oasis of peace, well located, excellent rooms, friendly and helpful staff. Speedy WIFI at the Patio, a little choppy in the rooms. Absolutely recommended.

I am amazed that other travelers rated this as a 5-star hotel. I think that 3-3.5 would be more appropriate. The hotel is in a relatively good location; however, upon arrival there is no one at the front door - simply a metal detector!! Not exactly the welcome I was hoping for. The hotel is nice but looks a bit 'tired' - More renovations are needed. The elevator was out of commission the entire time we were there (3 nights) - necessitating a walk up three flights of stairs to get to our room. The wait staff at the restaurant were wonderful, but the front desk people in general were not too knowledgable or helpful.

This hotel could be really great. The wait staff, in particular, were very attentive and professional. However, the renovations that seem to be taking place are not yet fully realized. When you arrive at the hotel, there is a security machine at the entrance--hardly a warm welcome (without a human, that is!) The elevator did not work throughout our stay, necessitating a walk up three flights of stairs (thank goodness our companion of 75 years old is in good condition.) We frequently needed to ask for items such as towels, water, etc. The front desk people were very nice, but not particularly helpful.

Amazing hotel!!!
