The Ryad Mabrouka was everything that we had hoped it would be. It was historic and beautiful, our room was lovely, and the two dinners that we had there were absolutely delicious. The owners are French and the staff is Moroccan--which was a perfect combination. When my husband and I were there last spring, we really enjoyed the time we spent with one of the French owners. She explained the history of the building as well as the massive restoration process which her family supervised. She also gave us a tour of the entire facility. We would love to return someday. We highly recommend this clean and well run ryad.

I loved this hotel for the lovely staff and amazing dishes prepared by the chef but also for its beauty. The mosaics on the tables, floors and walls are beautiful. all the doors of the rooms are ancient large and very high doors. The rooms have very high ceilings which adds to the beauty of the place and all furniture are of local design.
The terrace offers a wonderful view on magnificent Fes. Ask for a mint tea while you see the colours changing from bright yellow, to orange, red, ... as the sun goes down.
The staff were very nice and helpful. They sell guides of Fes as well which were very useful as it's very easy to get lost in the tiny streets.
Congratulations to the French owners who bought ruins and created a palace.
The only thing would be that as we were in a room on the ground floor, we were waken up quite early from the noise is the patio.
Otherwise we had a wonderful stay! and would highly recommend

This is a fantastic place to spend a few days in.
We spent here 4 days at the end of July. We got the room Medersa whose only issue was the stinky loo...but this is due to the Moroccan poor quality of the hydraulics.
The room as very big and beautifully decorated in traditional moroccan style. There was a pool which we used extensively, and a nice garden where we were served breakfast and dinner.
The staff is lovely. Unfortunately we got sick during our stay and they looked after us in a very caring way. The owner of the Riad called the doctor who arrived in the speedy time of 20 min.
Dinners were amazing, we had a different tagine every night and the staff was very lovely and caring all the time.
The riad is 2 min walk from the Medina and very close to local restaurants and cafes. The staff also organized a day trip for us and we fould our guide very competent and sweet.
Very good value, and an amazing place! Strongly recommended!

Do not let the exterior or entrance scare or fool you. I panicked until I finally reached in interior. The walk to the ryad and its exterior are very misleading! The inner courtyard is beautiful. It appears to be an older Ryad, but has a lot of character. The owner and staff were very helpful and friendly. Really did everything they could to make my stay enjoyable. They arranged for a tour guide to meet me however the tour guide was three hours late... The dinner was very nice as was the breakfast. My room was very large. The bed was very hard. The bathroom was beautiful. If I were ever to go back to fez I would stay here again.
