Beatiful Riad with great staff
The Riad is extremely beautiful, our room too.
Ladies of the staff are very kind, helpful and gentle. Breakfast was great, tasty and different.
The only little problem you probably can expect, is to find Riad. Google map can be neccesary.
We definetely recommend this Riad!

Old fashioned comforts and pizazz
We only stayed one night. It’s a beautiful setting and feels safe from the hawkers outside. Every corner is occupied with an artefact or embellishment. the courtyard is beautiful and the light breakfast had plenty of local treats.i didn’t see any television, which was an advantage, but the wifi worked well.

Unfriendly hostel posing as a hotel
Unpleasant, aggressive staff in a hostel located in a dodgy part of the Medina. The alleyways are lined with drug dealers. "Private" bathrooms are separate from the sleeping rooms, across public hallways and staircases. No shampoo, no soap, no amenities provided. Just grubby towels. Rooms are cold, spartan and unclean. Grubby linens, broken lights, no furniture to speak of, no seating, no TV, no safe. No drinking water provided. The manager is a very nasty woman with a very nasty temper who won't accept any criticism of her precious hostel and will email you abuse while you're sitting in your room. It's all a very unpleasant experience.

Nice place to stay in Fes!
It is a nice riad. We encounter some small issues but overall it is a clean place with great service. They even welcome you with tea and cookies.

Great Location
The place is difficult to find, but worth finding. Excellent breakfast and great wifi. If one is into the tannery, the medina and the markets, this is the place to stay. No elevators, so one needs to be fit.

In the Middle of the Medina
The location is excellent for exploring the medina, but out of the way if one wants to go on day excursions. The facility itself is excellent with a great breakfast, and good wifi, If one is directionally challenged, one would find it difficult staying here.

The Riad family was awesome. Azizah and Rajae was very helpful and accommodating. A place that is very near to old Madena. Recommended.
Excellent accueil, on se sent en famille. Petit déjeuner et repas du soir délicieux et généreux. Meilleur souvenir au Maroc à ce jour.

riad très bien, familial et accueillant
Seul bémol : riad un peu excentré du centre de la médina
Votre site donne des informations erronées : le transport navette aéroport est de 200 dirham et pas 20, la taxe de séjour est de 25 dirham par nuit et non 2,50, tout cela fait une sacré différence sur les dépenses!...Ce fut la mauvaise surprise quand on a un budget serré....Les propriétaires m'ont dit vous l'avoir signalé par mail...

Riad Lalla Fatima
Riad was very hard to find, but later found that every time we went back to it in a small red taxi, (very cheap to take) we just said take us to the Hotel Palais Faras in Ziat, which was just round the corner.
We had booked 2 rooms for 3 nights which were clean enough but the bathrooms were not very well maintained with the tiniest sinks and bathtubs which did not meet our needs. On the first day we had beautiful white towels, on the second we had not so nice coloured ones and on the third day, they were appalling! My sister in law's were torn!
We didn't know what to expect from a Riad. A Riad is a house without outside windows from the rooms, built because in the olden days, the men of the household were very possessive of their women and did not want them to see the outside world. There was a courtyard where we could sit for fresh air, but it was still very claustrophobic.
On booking a Riad one must remember that it's a house where the owner and their family live too. For us, family members with children were visiting until the late hours and were very noisy.
Management recommended places for us to see, and were told everywhere was within walking distance but it wasn't. We really missed the experience of a hotel offering information about local places to visit and excursions.
We also felt we had to be cautious walking in the Madina.

Un Havre de Paix
Malgré notre arrivée tardive (minuit), les propiétaires nous ont accueillis chaleureusement. La chambre était un peu étroite mais confortable. Nous avons été agréablement surpris de découvrir les lieux au matin. Les espaces sont multiples et bien personnalisés. La cour intérieur nous propulse en Andalousie! Très étrange sensation! Le petit déjeuner était très bon et copieux! Merci au personnel pour son accueil et sa discrétion.

Fabulous traditional Riad
What a beautiful Riad! Fabulous traditional mosaic tiles, central courtyard with orange trees and fountain. Our hostess Rajae was very welcoming and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable with heater and extra blankets provided as still a bit nippy at night in early March. We had a delicious evening meal of salads, chicken tagine and fruits and hearty breakfast including excellent homemade jams. Would definitely stay again

Buona posizione, persone sempre gentili.....
Nel contesto della realtà di una città del Marocco, direi che un buon Riad. Assolutamente niente da dire circa la disponibilità è la gentilezza del personale: sempre sorridenti!!.
Abbiamo cenato due volte nel Riad e abbiamo mangiato benissimo anche se nel contesto abbiamo speso abbastanza. Ma ne vale la pena: cucina casalinga.
Una volta che ti sei ambientato, ti rendi conto che sei veramente vicino alla Medina . Consiglio vivamente di prendere una guida: le cose da sapere sono veramente tante. Unica pecca, la stanza era un po' freddina. Per spostarsi approfittate dei taxi. 10 minuti di taxi costano dai 50 ai 70 centesimi di euro. Solito discorso per il trasferimento dall'aeroporto.

beautiful intro to Morocco
Beautiful hotel just right for 1 night till we got the bus to Chefchaouen. Not too far inside the medina gate to walk with luggage. Bed was a bit hard. The dinner was fabulous and not too expensive. Lovely service.

Dejligt ophold
Godt ophold, hvor et meget behjælpeligt personale gjorde det hjemmeligt og hyggeligt at være på Riad'en. Man skal vælge at spise en aften på Riad'en, hvis man overnatter der, fik en tre-retters menu (Couscus i Tagine - nok det bedste marrokanske mad vi fik på hele vores tur).

Comodo, pulito e personale cordiale
Riad familiare, personale cordiale e cortese. Ottima posizione per visitare Fès, dentro la Medina. Cena ottima (non inclusa nel prezzo) a 150 MAD (circa 15€ a testa).
