Stunning hotel in the middle of the Fes medina. I'm very grateful for the porters and their carts who navigated the maze that is Fes with our luggage! This riad has so much character- we stayed in the grey room and it took my breath away when we opened the door the first time. There's a fireplace in our room! I almost with our itinerary hadn't been so packed so we could have spent more time lounging here. The rooftop bar and restaurant was our favorite place to end the night after a long day... Read more

Stunning hotel in the middle of the Fes medina. I'm very grateful for the porters and their carts who navigated the maze that is Fes with our luggage! This riad has so much character- we stayed in the grey room and it took my breath away when we opened the door the first time. There's a fireplace in our room! I almost with our itinerary hadn't been so packed so we could have spent more time lounging here. The rooftop bar and restaurant was our favorite place to end the night after a long day of sight seeing. The staff were exemplary. I would love to visit again (but might wait until the elevator they're planning to install is complete- since the building is quite old the stairs are plentiful and not all the same size, which can be challenging to navigate).

The staff here were so genuinely welcoming, we felt like we got to know them even during our short 2 night visit. Their easy smiles and jokes were a highlight of our day!
Cleanliness & Comfort
This is a true luxury accommodation, but be warned that they do not yet have an elevator (planned to install next year I think), so if you have mobility challenges you may have difficulty.

This is the riad to choose if you're visiting Fes. It's charming and beautiful, with a nice swimming pool. The included breakfast is delicious, and the dinner menu is tasty and varied. The terrace has lovely views of the city. The hammam is wonderful, and the service all around the hotel could not possibly be better. Read more
