This riad gives you a very nice place to stay in Fes. Rooms are tasteful decorated. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Meals are excellent, but more expensive than in the medina.

I read the previous reviews, and thought, "well there's always a few bad ones, but it looks generally ok" - NO. There are many other Riads that are as good, heed our warning! Somebody with access to our room couldn't resist rumaging around my girlfriend's bag to steal her used underwear...! We couldn't believe the audacity of it. Didn't take any actual valuables mind, but unless you don't mind some gross man sniffing your girlfriend's lingerie late at night, I'd STAY WELL AWAY. Avoid if you've any sense - especially if you are a lone female traveller.

A lovely riad with lovely staff who took care of all our needs and comforts.

My husband had mentioned that we were coming for our anniversary and on our arrival, one of the workers gave me a rose and congratulated us which was very sweet. We were then shown to our room where the bed was covered in rose petals! I was very touched by the sweet gestures, made our stay there feel even more special.

We felt very comfortable there, spending our evenings in front of the fire place, playing chess and enjoying mint tea. Breakfast and dinner were great. It was good to see the owners around the riad, having breakfast and mingling with us and other guests, it created a family atmosphere.

Overall, a great first experience of a riad, would definately return.

I was very curious about this Riad concept before going to Morocco. However, after staying at one each at Fes and Marrakech, I have become quite ambivalent, if not altogether allergic to it.

I don’t know why but I didn’t feel very comfortable staying there. It was neither a hotel nor a hostel nor was it [someone’s] home. Something was missing. Perhaps it was too artificial, too commercialized. Though they try to present it as something homely, it is definitely not.

In short, I really don’t know what to say.
I think, try for a night or so, it is an experience quite different from hotel, but that’s all.
Because, even in monetary terms, it is not at all a frugal alternative. On the contrary, I think many of Riads are over-priced, and I am saying it after taking all factors in account.

This riad was ok. However, Eur 85 for two, booked directly with the property - no agency commission - doesn’t seem very right in Fes. It is easily accessible as it lies right at the outer perimeter of the old town.

But as said earlier, I am glad that I have tried this type of lodging once but I am doubtful if I am going to go for a riad again.
