Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Located on a very small pedestrian street in the the old city's Medina, one would never know that such beauty, splendour, and tranquillity existed just inside this hotel's large wooded door. It can be a little difficult to find once one leaves the car park, so it is best to make an arrangement with the hotel for a taxi pick up from the airport. This is luxurious riad and formerly a palatial 17th-century residence that has been lovingly renovated by its owners. This is quite simply one of the best hotels that I have stayed in from all points of view. Magical. The rooms are arranged around a magnificent verdant garden and are on three levels. (There is a rooftop area with splendid views of the city, where one can have tea or a drink.) Each room is unique, but each has colourful tiled floors, stained glass windows, and wooden shutters. A lot of thought has gone into the amenities and to providing everything to make the guest feel welcome and comfortable--from tea and coffee, pastries, chocolate in the evening and a turn-down service. Once ready for sleep, one can count an total silence. Not a sound can be heard. The service at the Palais Amani is impeccable and discreet. While we did not try the hammam or the spa, we had an excellent dinner and drinks at the bar, which was warmed by a roaring fire during the cool March evenings. The breakfasts are sumptuous and consist of olives, cheese, honey, different varieties of bread and pancakes, a daily dish, which could be porridge or barley and bean soup. Eggs are available on request. We simply fell in love with this very special hotel and plan to return.

It is literally a palace! The garden is breathtaking! Good amenities and quality. The staff is very friendly. It is located right in the medina. The walk up to it was cool because it looks like you are lost in a tight labyrinth until you suddenly face the large door and walk in.

We had a lovely stay here during our time in Fes! The rooms are beautiful, and the location can’t be beat. The breakfast each morning was fabulous, and the service was impeccable. We also took their cooking class, which was exceptional. Our guide took us on a market tour in the morning, where we sampled food at several restaurant stalls and bought ingredients for the meal we were going to cook. The class itself was conducted in an outdoor kitchen on the roof, with a beautiful view of the Medina. And the food was delicious! I cannot recommend it enough.

We had a hammam and massage. It was fabulous! The staff took great care of us. We went as a foursome, and we received our services in pairs. After our treatments, we sat in the beautiful courtyard and had some delicious tea prepared by a very nice man who taught us how to make the tea along with some Arabic words. I would look into staying here in the future.

A beautiful oasis within the medina. We had a lovely room with an upstairs space that was perfect for our daughter. We only got to spend one night here and I only wish we could have stayed longer. The staff was top notch. We enjoyed drinks at the end of the day in the beautiful courtyard. My only complaint was with the amount of scent used in our room. It was not a bad smell but it was overwhelming.

What a unique and unexpected experience. We stayed here 2 nights as part of our tour. The staff are very helpful, the food is delicious. Breakfast is not buffet, they serve you. If you want eggs, just ask! My only recommendation would to be an explanation of what is going to happen, I like to just drink coffee first then eat, the food was just brought out so was cold by the time I ate it. If you stay here, our guide suggested we not leave the hotel or we would be lost. Loved the opportunity to stay here! Thank you!

Our small group had a very warm welcome by the management, and we were escorted to our respective rooms. They were all different and were very comfortable and quiet. Nice bathroom. Great rooftop area. This place is right in the Medina, so it's best to have help finding it and getting your bags there. Lovely restaurant with a great dinner and traditional Moroccan breakfast. Highly recommended.

Wonderful introduction to Morocco! This beautiful, intimate riad and staff are top-notch. Beds are comfortable, breakfast and dinner very tasty. The courtyard is serene. The medina location is convenient. Manager Karine Orfila greeted us and was available if needed during our 4-night stay. After two weeks in-country, our group of four decided it was very high on our list of favorites; if/when we return to Marrakech, we won't hesitate to book with Riad Idra again!
