Hotel Crown Palace, Fes

Advantages: Not as "touristy" as other parts of Morocco, steeped in history, a beautiful city
Disadvantages: Beware small children and Moroccan men

...(markets) and haggling with the traders, who are, it must be noted, far less intimidating than those in Marrakesh, and sitting outside cafes with a glass of mint tea and watching the world go by. FЀS-JDID Despite being referred to as "new Fès", this part of the city was actually built in the 13th century. If truth be told, it's not worth spending more than a day here (at the absolute maximum) as Fès El Bali has far more to see. The Royal Palace is situated in Fès-Jdid, but, unfortunately, is closed to the public. It is possible, however, to admire the huge and very ornately-decorated brass doors that lead into the palace. The real highlight of Fès-Jdid is the mellah, or Jewish quarter: Fès-Jdid became somewhat of a refuge for Jewish families in the 14th century, and so the mellah was built.

Advantages: Great location
Disadvantages: Car Parking

...A lovely, friendly hotel located in small historical market town of Bawtry I love this little down, just down the road from my parents in Doncaster (home to the famous St Leger). When I was living in the area, I often popped in to the Crown for an evening meal, or a drink with friends and have recently, on a visit back to my old stomping ground, stayed at the hotel.

Advantages: Central location, clean
Disadvantages: Food, rooms

...We stayed at this hotel in London a little over a month ago now for two nights, we chose this hotel mainly because of the central location and because it was only a ten minuite walk from the show we had booked to go too. Check in was very quick - About ten minuites and the staff at the reception seemed very friendly. My first thoughts on the hotel was that it looked really clean and that it was nicely decorated and it looked modern. I was a little dissapointed with our room as it was very small and basic, our room had a double bed, tea and coffee making facilities, a tv with satellite and a small, basic en suite bathroom with a shower. The views from our room very very poor - A block of offices which made our room dark as they were so close. The hotel has two bars and two resturaunts, the bars were again nicely decorated...
