We stayed here for our first night in Fes and then switched to another riad after being sorely disappointed by Riad Fes. The staff were snobby, off-hand and indifferent and while the lobby is impressive the room was not. We could have been in any hotel suite in the world, not Morocco. It was far too modern, cold and austere. Our next riad was what it should have been, intimate, authentic, friendly and very personal service. If you want an expereince with real Moroccan hospitality don't stay here.

Dear Madeleine V, Thank you for sharing your experience at Riad Fès on Tripadvisor.
There is no accounting for taste! True. I will not blame you, because you did not like the room you had. But, I would prefer to have an honest and frank feedback upon the check-out. You were very nice with us at the desk telling us how nice are the property and the room. And your only regret was not to be able to spend another night with us. I did propose you a very very last minute rate you wanted to accept, but was afraid of the cancellation policies of the other property. Our porter did help you to find a taxi and explained to the driver how to get to your next riad! If we knew that the suite where you were upgraded did not please you, we would have proposed another one. We had some empty rooms and would be more than happy to change the room. Concerning the dinner, we have our starters at 9 euros, the main dishes at 17 or 19 euros and the dessert at 8 euros. The prices for the wine are between 15 euros and 65 euros. As a Relais & Châteaux property in Morocco or anywhere else in the World, I believe that our rates are more than correct! But, to each his own... Our staff is very keen to the guests' satisfaction. It would be funny, indeed ridiculous to snub a king, because we deeply believe that a guest is a king! I will be pleased to show you that next time when your plans bring you back to Fez.
Best Regards
Mrs. Awa DIAKHATE
