When I was looking for a unique Moroccan experience for lodging, I somehow came across this Riad. I wanted to stay somewhere with original tile work and history and feel like we were in a palace type room. We booked the Iman suite (about 125 euro, which is more than I usually spend, but felt it was part of the moroccan experience). Just to sit in the cultural hall of this Riad is amazing. The roof goes up so high and the beautiful, intrinsic tile work is really spectacular. The Riad is quiet and very peaceful, which helps in a chaotic place like Fes. You are in a great part of the Medina, the Andalusian quarter which has great winding alleyways, cute little shops and lots of history. One can also reach the outside entrance very quickly 1-2 minutes from this Riad, which is nice when pulling your luggage in from the street/taxi. They will offer you all services for a reasonable price, or let you do it on your own too. Nothing beats breakfast up on the balcony of the riad in the early morning listening to the call for prayer, watching the sun make it's way over the medina and just feel like you stepped into another world. Highly recommended.

We booked a tour using Authentic Morocco and they asked "did we wish basic, but nice or luxury" as an accommodation option, we chose the former.
Well if this is basic then I can only dream of what luxury must be like.
On arrivial we were greated by Bilal and escorted up a dank & questionable passage way. What have we done?? echoes in my mind.
On entering our abode, for the next 3 nights, we are "gobsmacked" & astounded at what a lovely place we have been presented.
The roof top terrance provides a view over the old medina, where we will immerse ourselves.
We have organised a private tour of the old medina & even our guide , for the day (he hasn't been inside this riad before) states he is amazed on how nice the place is.
On our last evening, our host, organises a "dress up" in traditional clothing (once owned by his parents) what a laugh, we were humbled by so much attention.
The food, especially the cous cous is sensational
To all, thank you.

Bilal, the employee of the riad who dealt with us was very friendly, extremely helpful. He was such a great host!!!!
What an unforgettable hospitality!!! He made us feel at home!! The riad is charming, very beautiful, very clean too!! extremely well located for a visit to the medina!!
Do not hesitate to stay in Riad Ibn Khaldoun as you won't be disappointed!!

I stayed five nights at this beautiful riad conveniently located right on the edge of the medina (near the food markets). I was traveling solo and they took very good care of me, arranging a driver from the airport, a female guide (Farida Chaaibi, excellent!) to show me the sights, and even took me to the neighborhood hammam which is something tourists rarely see! Bilale and the rest of the staff speak perfect English and French, and were like family to me by the end of my stay. The food is delicious, make sure to book at least one dinner with them.
I had a suite (even though I booked a single, there were empty rooms since it was low season) with cable TV (at least four movie and TV series channels in English) and a very good heater (in the winter, it may be mild in the daytime, but nights and mornings can be quite chilly in the desert, so bring layers!) I spent a lot of time lounging on the roof-top terrace with a book and mint tea. They'll even bring your breakfast up there to eat in the morning sun.
Be sure to note in advance that there are many stairs in the riad (unless you stay in the ground floor suites and don't ever go to the roof), and that it's normal to hear not only the multiple calls to prayer, but also the neighborhood "sounds" (I counted a donkey, sheep, rooster, the guard dog next door, and a few random scooters). So bring ear plugs if you're a very light sleeper. WiFi works perfectly on the ground floor lounge.
As an aside, I was not bothered too much as a solo female walking around the riad, perhaps because I wore trousers and a black coat and hat, and did not have a camera around my neck and a map. Once in awhile someone would ask if I was looking for something, bu if you ignore them they usually go away immediately.
