Hotel Batha

Location for exploration is perfect! Stayed 2 nights as part of a tour, and have also stayed 2 nights in 2014. Not much changed.! Very quirky décor and design, relic of a bygone age when inhabited by British diplomats. Steps up to bathroom ,sunken bath. Separate toilet. Heating worked fine. Spare blanket available. Normal size single bed, firm, comfortable Swimming pool inviting (but not in December!) clean and in good repair but I do not remember a noisy bar with giant TV ,lights and noise adjoining it on the patio area. My 3rd floor room overlooked the street, but I could still hear noise from this bar. I heard the café opposite packing up chairs and sweeping late night, and again putting it all out early morning, deliveries and street cleaners at dawn. Oh, and the muezzin. This every day hustle and bustle acceptable and somewhat interesting, the bar /TV noise totally unacceptable and incongruous. Breakfast meagre and uninteresting. Did include basics: olives (processed )cheese ,cucumber, tomato ,bread. Weak coffee. Presume better offerings in high season???? Lacked a warm soup or porridge type option.

It's really horrible hotel no hot water and big PB when I want go eat my breakfast he told me no I can't because I don't told him I want breakfast and I pay 50€ for room he make me so angry front my wife so it's more better than book in this hotel no good

Beautiful hotel in authentic Maroccain style. The employees are wonderful. Really nice people, from the waiter to the hotelmanager. They really make you feel welcome, explain everything in excellent English and are very open. You can ask anything. The food is really good. We got spoiled with real tasty food. If we are coming to Fes again, we will definitely stay at this hotel!

When you have a room facing the bar you will have a lot of noise from it, but it closes around 23h. We went on a tour in a group., this included dinner. The food was not really bad, but certainly not great either. The WiFi doesn’t work everywhere in the rooms, but worked great in the public areas. Very close tho the beautiful gate Bab Boujloud.

We had a newly refurbished room which was good but lacked a few finishing touches like hooks to hang the towels on, others in the group had older bathrooms. The hotel is currently being refurbished.The WiFi worked well. The hotel has an outside bar, called the British Saloon, which shows football matches and then has a DJ playing music until midnight. This was quite busy but a real noise problem for most rooms. The bar staff we found to be uninterested and insisted that we pay for each drink as we had it and we HAD to pay with the correct money, they did not make locals who came in do this.

I stayed here two nights with my family as part of a guided tour group. The visit started well, as the staff were very friendly. We also enjoyed the pool (fresh!). The hotel is also really well situated near the medina and lots of restaurants Unfortunately though the hotel has a bit too many rough features to recommend for a family. The most obvious issue is that the bar in the building is very loud (even mid-week) and the sound carries all the way to the 4th floor (where we were sleeping). The hotel rooms were pretty spartan, with only a minimum amount of toilet paper, and no extra touches (e.g. no garbage pail in the room - we found one in the hall!). The "buffet" breakfast at the hotel was also very basic - much less than what is available at other hotels I tried. Also, you need to ask for a controller for the AC and TV. It wasn't in the room when we got there. I think this hotel needs to decide what it wants to be - a bar or a hotel!
