“Beautiful and friendly riad in great location”
We had a wonderful stay with Lea who was exceptionally welcoming and helpful. The riad is beautifully decorated and located in a peaceful street nearby the heart of the medina. Breakfast was delicious and we particularly enjoyed the views from the rooftop.

“Best breakfast”
Great location as it is within the medina. Amazing rooftop view of the city. This was by far the best breakfast that we had in any of our accommodations and we stayed in 6 different places in and around Morocco for this trip. We even had our laundry done for a small fee.

“Amazing Riad with great staff. Super reccomended!”
The riad is very close to the Bab Bou Jeloud (the blue gate). It's clean, and has an amazing courtyard, where they serve an AMAZING breakfast: big quantity and quality (different kinds of bread, orange juice, marmalade, honey, butter, yogurt, coffee, tea...). The terrace is quiet and with an amazing view. But the special point is the staff: they collect you to find the riad easily, the cleaning lady is very nice, even if she doesn't speak English, and the owner is incredible: super friendly, detail-oriented, and a good person. Super recommended!

“Fez is a wonderful, cultural centre to establish how Morocco is”
Salah who runs the Riadh was very helpful in many aspects particularly to help you find your way around the medina and to advise restaurants and places of interest

“lost in medina of Fes”
It is located INSIDE medina, but closer to the blue door, in a secondary street, so it is absolutly silent. Riad was amazing, with 4 rooms looks out on inner court, full of traditional colors or stuffs. Bed was enought confortable. Bathroom is not so big, ma shower was huge. Breakfast was full of traditional taste. But cherry on top is rooftop. Simply stunning, You can see all medina. Guest was been one of the lovely one I've ever meet.

“An authentic experience at Fez”
We were overwhelmed with the hospitality of the host Salah who treated us like family. He arranged everything we asked him in advance from the airport transfers to a tour guide as well as gave us a personal tour of the medina for our first day orientation as well as take us to the gate of the medina. He is also accessible at anytime by WhatsApp. On our last day he also accompanied us to do our last minute shopping and introduced us to his family. He also accommodated other requests which we appreciated. The room is comfortable with tv, heater/aircon, shower and toilet and the living room was big enough for all the guests. The terrace is also lovely when it is not raining. Breakfast was also lovely. Most of all, Salah was there to take us to our airport transfer at 2am and personally say goodbye. We highly recommend that you stay here when you are in Fez.

The most unique thing about this Riad is the hospitality of the hosts - Mr. Salah took really good care of us. He met us when we arrived (and got a bit lost in the Medina streets), showed us around the area, gave great recommendations on the local restaurants, helped us get through some unexpected last minute changes and offered his support throughout. Thank you so much for your amazing kindness! The riad is located very close to the Blue gates so it's quite easy to move around. The room was cozy with comfortable bed, there's also a big rooftop terrace where you can enjoy beautiful views of the Medina. Totally recommended!

“Loved being in the Medina, riad awesome, staff excelled, live-in host went above and beyond!”
Breakfast was timely and plentiful with many options. Location provided quick easy access to shops, markets, ATM, and sights in a bustling Medina, yet just enough distance to provide peace and quiet inside the riad. Rooftop had comfortable enclosed seating area, and provided great views. Owner and on-site hosts responded very quickly and helpfully to every inquiry; they were very friendly and pleasant. Guests should know there are 3 levels in this riad, plus the rooftop. Living room, dining area and largest ensuite bedroom are on second level, w 2 ensuite bedrooms on 3rd. Kitchen and small reception area are on lower level. Stairs are a little steep. Personally, I loved running up and down the stairs, but may be challenging for some.

“Great place”
Great host - wish him the best. Location in the heart of medina but not in the heat of its central streets. Good room with comfortable bed and heater.

What you have for the price is quite good. The riad is well located and the room are sufficiently clean. The staff is open to help and support you. The room is big enough and the place even not being big result quiet.

“stress free.”
We where the only ones staying their at the time so we felt like we had the whole place to our selves. It was in a central location, not to far from the blue gate and close to most attractions.

“It looks way better in real life than in photos.”
- Good and safe location (10min from blue gate by walk) - Cleaning every day - For Morrocan standards the breakfast is above average (I would still suggest to add some vegetable, fruits, less sweet/sugar stuff in general) - This riad is comparing to others actually run professionally by a good manager Salah, he was helpful thorough our stay - I think this riad is very close to 4* hotels, you won't find a better value for that money in Fes Medina

“Beautiful stay”
Beautiful riad with exceptional staff who went out of their way to prepare us an early breakfast and walked us out of the medina to get a taxi for an early departure. Rooms were spacious and the roof top terrace had great views.
