What you see in the photos on booking websites are all true! And maybe even prettier, the accommodation itself gives you this Moroccoan experience already, the staff are friendly too, it seemed like it is run by a family, not sure though. Would definitely stay here again!

Best place accomodation we've had in Morocco 🇲🇦 in a very reasonable price, it also comes with a vegetarian breakfast!

Our tour group of 30 people had lunch at this restaurant. There were several Moroccan salads to start and then we got to choose between couscous and tajine. There were vegetarian options as well as chicken or beef. It was all fabulous. The decor was gorgeous and comfortable. Highly recommended.

Fabulous lunch; gorgeous decor

Good: Clean.
Excellent: customer service (gladly made creative room changes to accommodate one in our party who found difficulty with stairs).  D-Link wifi.  The spacious rooms were elaborately decorated with polychromatic painting on the woodwork and offered plenty of lounging area to spend time taking it all in.

Elaborate decor in this homey riad

when we were about to leave the Riad, we were told we had to pay 92 dirhams ( around 8 euros) in local taxes. They charged me automatically all the money the previous day to our stay, so i did not understand they asked me for local taxes when we were about to head to the airport. We had no money, no euros, no dirhams (only 35 dirhams), so we paid it and left. The difference was paid for a woman of the staff. Dont understand why they did not charge all the money together or why they waited to the last moment to inform us. 

Nice place and staff but some information missing

We had a pleasant stay at this riad.  There are positives to the accommodation, as well as mediocre aspects.

The ultimate positive is the lovely terrace on the roof.  I spent a good part of Sunday morning there, reading and using the wifi.  It was such a gorgeous morning, and the terrace was comfortable, with excellent views of the surrounding city.  It really gives you a perspective on how large Fes is.

The room we reserved, the Sidi Abdeslam suite, reflected the photos we saw on Booking.com accurately (except for the platters of food depicted!).  The tile work is incredible, as is the elaborate painting on the woodwork throughout the suite.  The suite had two bathrooms, a center table area which separated the two bedrooms, and a sitting area.

Now for the mediocre aspects:
* . this riad is quite far from the main medina area (that with lots of shops and restaurants) . That can be viewed as a positive, as the locals were quite welcoming, or a negative (20 dirhams fixed to that area by taxi - or 40 like they charged my husband to take advantage.  The other ridiculous part is the driver wouldn't use the meter, yet when a local got in after us, you heard the beep of the meter for them!!!!!)

*  quite noisy at night - and in the day!!  Again, since it is a more "local" accommodation, you heard the loud family fights (woman SCREAMING) as well as individuals' voices echoing off the walls of the narrow passageways.  At night, I thought a group of children was playing on the roof next to us - their voices were so amplified. (so much for the slogan of the riad:  timeless serenity)

* no "welcome" Moroccan cookies.  Sure this may seem like a petty thing, but EVERY riad we have stayed at in this country has provided some form of carbohydrate with the welcome tea.

* disparity with the included breakfast.  The table next to us got a GIGANTIC fruit platter to enjoy with their breakfast.  Us?  Nope...!

* when trying to verify travel plans using the hotel wifi, the wifi on the terrace is far better than the connectivity in your room

So, although the room was nice, I'm not sure if the mediocre aspects make this the best choice when anticipating a short stay in Fes.

Lovely terrace - and pretty details in room - other aspects mediocre

This hotel is not worth the price. I don’t know how it has good recommendations. The WiFi doesn’t work. There is no 24h reception as promised - it’s in another hotel nearby. There is no restaurant as promised. The bed is too short (and we are not that tall) and too hard. The bathroom smells a lot and is placed right next to the bed. Our room did not look like the pictures on booking.com. There is no room service or mini bar - they don’t provide a single bottle of water. It was impossible for us to get in contact with the hotel the day of our arrival - we called them and emailed them, but they didn’t answer until after we had arrived. We had to find another driver, and when we arrived, a man who worked at the hotel got mad at us for not waiting for their driver - but we had no way of knowing they would send us one as they hadn’t picked up the phone or texted us. It of course made us very uncomfortable that a staff member yelled at us. The cleaning is great, though, and the rest of the staff were very friendly. This hotel should be regarded as a two-star hotel.

Horrible hotel - staff member yelled at us

Generally,  the riad is beautiful.  Staff, especially female staff,  is extremely friendly and accommodating.  

However,  the male staff is not honest.  For example,  they helped us arrange a 100 dirham taxi to CTM bus station,  but the driver asked for 150, so we called the riad for clarification.  It is so disappointing that the male staff collaborates with the driver and insists the price is 150. We thought people from the riad were at least honest about pricing,  but it absolutely ruined our whole experience with the riad.

Moreover,  the male riad staff saw us on the street and offered us directions to the tannery.  He personally led the walk and handed over us to one of his "friends" (or "scam partner") . He led us to the direction which was different from what google map showed us.  Luckily we left in the midway or we might end up in another scam.
