I actually didn't stay in Funky Fes at the end, but i give them an exellent review, because they were really understanding, open, responsive, cooperative and professional. There is not enough space to explain the whole story. I can just say that they responded positively, quickly and kindly on every mail i've sent them. I've picked Funky Fes hostel on the recomodation of two friends, who also had only good things to tell about the hostel and the stuff working there. So, i definetly recomend it.

This hostel was fine. It had very comfy beds and an atmosphere that we were looking for (i.e. many young travelers). What is incredibly misleading is the location. The hostel is a considerable distance away from new town Fes where most of the attractions and restaurants are. Most taxi drivers, in fact, had no clue where this hostel was and really struggled to get us there. Also: do NOT book any tours through this hostel. They over-charge and have very unprofessional/unenthusiastic guides.

hi, thanks for your comment. Yes, we are not very close from the new town because we are in the Medina. In any case, you can even walk until the new town. See you again.

I stayed at two different hostels in Fes and this place was the best. Folks were accomodating. Toilet paper was free. So was breakfast. Towels weren´t. but the place was definitely okay.

That hostel has a lot of character and a helpful staff. It's located away from the main attractions but that's a good point in Fes : it's more quiet and easier to find in the maze of the medina. Besides, you can get really good food without even moving from the hostel! Recommended

A little bit difficult to find and the informations at hostelworld is not enough. We needed to ask at the street and do this in Morocco isn't safe. The map that they gave us is really bad. All the other things were really good!

A lovely hostel/riad in a good spot, felt like there could have been a bit more of an atmosphere to the place but apart from that it was clean and in a good location.

+ quiet location, but still very close to the medina + nice ambience, easy to approach other travelers + very very clean and cool rooms + kitchen open till late, delicious foods. - no alcohol served, not lively after 22h - useless advice given staff about what to do/where to go (sent us to club with hookers) - washing service ruined our clothes

One of my favorite hostel ever, it is pretty close to the medina, there are plenty of activities, good variety of food at the hostel (THE CAMEL BURGER IS THE BEST!). The staff always help you whenever you need and they speak dozens of languages...

Nice hostel, cooking course was a bit to much waiting and not enough actual cooking. And we didn't get a full meal of what we cooked at the end. Maybe a printed out recipe to be able to cook the same at home?

The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The only fault was that they allowed themselves to be goaded into arguments with another very rude guest.

Lovelly refuge from the chaos and sometimes malice of the outside medina. Need to do something about the people loitering outside, I'd suggest maybe a brief introduction of what to look out for in Morocco to new travellers!

Thank you Funky Fez! for providing us with a truly wonderful Moroccan experience. The dinner they cooked was always tasty, their tours allowed you to see absolutely incredibly things and the place was as great as its pictures. Had we not stayed at this hostel, our experience of Fez probably wouldve been extremely boring and no where as informative. Great great hostel for people to stay at that are on a budget.

No lockers in the rooms, the bathroom had a completely open little window which was slightly disconcerting. I'm not sure if the meals and tours were ok, as we didn't use their services, we found our own. Cleanliness is ok for a third world country but I woke up to ants in my bed!

The staff was fantastic; very helpful and kind. The location was great because it's easy enough to find and it's right at the entrance to the medina. The hostel itself was lovely with a large terrace overlooking the city and the food was great as well.
