Hotel Menzeh Zalagh

Hotel Menzeh Zalagh is a mid-range hotel at 10 Rue Mohamed Diouri in the Ville Nouvelle of Fès, in Morocco's Fès-Meknès region. The name refers to Mount Zalagh, the hill that rises north of the city, and the hotel serves as a convenient base in the French-era new town, where wide avenues, cafés, banks and restaurants are within easy reach. The medina of Fès el-Bali lies a short taxi ride away, so visitors typically divide their time between the old city and the more modern district. The building is a traditional city hotel with a straightforward, comfortable interior, and it is used by business travellers, families and tour groups alike. Rooms are offered as Standard Rooms, Superior Rooms and Suites, all with air conditioning and WiFi. The hotel restaurant serves Moroccan and international dishes, a bar provides evening drinks, and breakfast is served each morning. An outdoor pool offers a place to cool down in summer, and on-site parking suits those travelling by car. Service is practical and oriented to a mix of leisure and business guests, with reception able to arrange taxis, guided medina visits and excursions to Meknès, Volubilis and the Middle Atlas. Published rates run from about 700 MAD in low season to about 1,000 MAD in high season, and the guest rating is 4.0. The hotel suits travellers who want a reliable, moderately priced base with a pool and parking, accepting that the atmosphere is that of a modern city hotel rather than a historic riad. The Ville Nouvelle location is also convenient for the train and bus stations and for onward travel.
