I stayed at the Hotel de la Paix for two nights and thought that it represented very good value for money (43 pounds sterling for the entire stay, including taxes and continental breakfast). The Ville Nouvelle location is excellent and it takes only a few minutes to reach the more interesting parts of town (Fes el Bali and Fes el Djedid) by petit taxi. There is also an excellent and friendly cybercafe a few metres from the hotel on avenue Hassan II. I had a spacious room (with firm but comfortable double bed) with an equally spacious en-suite bathroom. The decor was fairly smart, there was a TV that worked and the furniture was in reasonably good condition. My room was at the back, so my sleep was undisturbed by noise from the street (rooms at the front will, I'm sure, be noisier). On my first night, I dined in the hotel restaurant: the food was good though the restaurant itself lacked character and warmth. My only quibble was the lack of heating in the room - I was told that the system had broken down. Also, the hot water supply was erratic -piping hot one day and lukewarm the next. The air conditioner (not that I needed it!) did seem to work, however. All in all, I would recommend the hotel for a short stay.

I found the room to be pretty big compared to what else I had seen in Morocco, although it was uncarpeted. The bathroom was big too. The room did have a bit of an aged look though, and the warm water seemed to cut out at times, but it wasn't serious for me. The rooms also have an AC/Heater that you can control. The staff are friendly, but the breakfast is pretty sparse, two rolls, and juice or tea. The location is alright, only about 10 minute walk from the train station in the new city, a cab to the old city will cost you roughly 10 Dirham.

I stayed at De La Paix in December, 2005. Convenient location. Close to train station. Located in the Ville Nouvelle part of Fes. About 1-1/2 mile from Fes El-Bali. Located on a very busy street with vendors, restaurants, cafes, etc. I would definitely recommend an Official Guide for the central market.

Definitely try the restaurant. The food and service was great. Please try the Bastilla. Very good.

The rooms was clean, albeit a bit small (I had the single room). I would request a room NOT street side (as the hotel is located on a very busy street.

Good deal for the money. I recommend it and will visit again when in Fes.
