The hotel itself is extremely clean, the staff is wonderful, and it is a great value. It only has a few rooms, so it may be best to give them a call when you arrive in Morocco to make reservations. Our double room ran us 140 Dihram, around US$14. The beds were clean and comfortable, and even more importantly, we had hot water all day (often a rarity in Morocco) as well as heat (another thing surprisingly hard to come by). The daily rate also includes the standard Moroccan hotel breakfast with which you will become all too well acquainted. You can choose to eat your breakfast of bread, coffee/tea, and Moroccan fig jam in your room or on the terrace. While the terrace doesn’t have the best view, it is still a pleasant place to grab breakfast.

The staff of the hotel was extremely friendly. They were able to hook us up with a great official guide for a tour of Fès. During our two-day stay, we were the only ones in the hotel and when we asked the manager what time the train for Rabat left so that we could buy tickets, he insisted on taking us to the train station himself. He drove us there, got us the tickets, and then on the way back took us to another hotel with a great view of Fès and bought us a few rounds of drinks. Now that’s hospitality. So, if you want a nice, clean hotel with good access to all that Fès has to offer, hit up the Pension Batha.
