Overall a good base to explore Fez
This hotel is in a good location on the edge to the new fez and old fez. It is located right next to the Fez mall which has a carrefour for all essentials and a food court for quick meals. There is a McDonald right opposite. There is a family friendly promenade outside where families sit, go for walks in the evenings. There are plenty of coffee shops on the promenade. There are two highly rated places to eat close by. La Ranaicence cafe and delux steak lounge both excellent and defo a worth visiting. The Madina is 10 mins in taxi or 30 mins walk away to the blue gate. Now the hotel itself. I had the privilege suite which has two rooms. 1 a lounge with a sofa/sofa bed, a 4 seater table, tv to relax and wind down. There is a balcony with a great view of the outside and fountain roundabout, sun set, mountains, sun rise. The room has a comfy very large super king bed. Only downside the pillows were terrible. The checkin was pleasant but the extra payment of tax was a surprise as we thought the full payment was taken on the Barcelo website. The house keeping was spot on and the room was cleaned very well. The downside the bathroom. Although nice not really practice when family are staying together as there is no door between this and the main room. The toiler is located in a very awkward place and the sliding door does not shut properly and the toilet is quite high. Also a bit awkward to sit on the toilet if door is closed. The shower area was large but the water does not drain properly. So leaks out of door. There is also a separate bath. There is a pool which has a toddler area on one side and deep pool on other and it’s a decent size. It also has deck chair and quiet private from the outside world.
