Hôtel Splendid

Hôtel Splendid is an affordable hotel in the Ville Nouvelle of Fes, Morocco, on Avenue Abdelkrim El Khattabi, near restaurants and banks. The Ville Nouvelle is the modern district built during the French protectorate, with broad avenues, cafes and shops, and it contrasts with the medieval lanes of Fes el-Bali, which lies a short taxi ride away. The central position makes the hotel practical for travellers who need access to cash machines, pharmacies, supermarkets and eateries, and it is also within reach of the railway station and the city's taxi ranks. Because cars cannot enter the medina, guests visiting the old city normally take a petit taxi to one of the gates, such as Bab Boujloud, and walk from there. The hotel is a simple budget property with practical rooms rather than distinctive architecture, and its appeal lies in price and convenience. Accommodation is offered as Single Rooms and Double Rooms, at roughly MAD 300 to 700 per night depending on season and room. Listed amenities are a central location and Wi-Fi, so travellers should not expect a pool, spa, fitness centre or on-site restaurant. Dining is easy to arrange outside, as the surrounding streets hold cafes, bakeries and restaurants offering Moroccan and international food at varied prices, many open late. Service is basic, with reception support for taxis, local directions and onward transport, and a telephone number, +212 535 62 21 48, is listed for enquiries. The hotel suits budget travellers, those making an overnight stop, and visitors who want a base near modern services rather than inside the medina. It is less suited to travellers seeking atmosphere, quiet or resort amenities. Rooms differ in condition and street exposure, so asking about room location when booking can help light sleepers.
