An amazing 250 years old Riad
As I have said in previous reviews, when it comes to accommodation it is not only about well painted/decorated walls etc. Our stay was amazing, the staff extremely friendly and helpful, and the riad is an experience everyone should have when visiting Morocco. It is a 250 years old Riad with spacious rooms, very clean, tha restaurant is really nice with a traditional menu which really loved it. If we ever come back to Fes it will be our first choice. Thank you for having us and for everything you did for us.

Belle expérience, de belles rencontres
Majestueux Riad disposant d'une vue imprenable sur la médina dont son cœur bouillonnant de vie est accessible à 5 minutes à pied. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour dans ce palais des mille et une nuits. Le propriétaire Klaled nous a prodigué d'excellents conseils. La première journée avec un guide a été fantastique pour découvrir le dédale de la médina et sortir des sentiers battus. Immense merci à Azzedine ! Bien sur tout n'était pas parfait et quelques points sont à améliorer (les fioles de savons déjà utilisées, l'eau de la piscine qui était un peu trouble) , mais les bons points l'emportent haut la main ! La literie était très confortable, le petit déjeuner est fastueux (et c'est peu dire), le personnel est adorable et aux petits soins, le restaurant délicieux, le massage au spa incroyable, les taxis rouges sont accessibles en seulement 2 minutes. On s'y sent comme chez nous ! Nous reviendrons, c'est sûr.

Beautiful getaway in a 19th century mansion...eating meals on the terrace overlooking the city is ideal. Staff is very friendly, the common areas are stunning & the breakfasts are delicious.

英語が不自由なことを英語で悪口を言われた。 Wi-fiの繋がりが悪い。 部屋のテレビも使えない。 ただ、部屋やホテルの立地は良い。 朝食も美味しい。 ホテルからの眺めが良い フェズ観光での疲れをホテルで癒すことができる。

A truly unique place to stay at in Fez
The Riad Arabesque is an old institution in Fez. Celebrities such as Usher, Brad Pitt and George Clooney have all stayed here and it is clear why. The staff are making sure that you feel like you are staying at the house of someone you know rather than at a hotel. It is a personal and genuine experience in all aspects that I can highly recommend.

我们是晚上到的，说实话天黑有点不好找，因为它的大门在一个很不起眼的小毛毛道里，且没有任何标识。酒店坐落在一个山坡上，天气好的话可以俯瞰整个城市。酒店陈设布置非常讲究，晚餐和早餐都很好，服务员非常耐心和负责任，很值得推荐的地方。

Gorgeous Riad. Beauty everywhere. Very Ig friendly :). They upgraded us which was nice. Friendly staff. The rooms where small but to be expected in a riad. I would definitely recommend it.

2/10 Poor

Dangerous people, beware.
Be very careful with this place. The owner works in conjunction with unofficial “guides” who take you to the medina and make hefty commissions on overpriced artisan items. The Riad itself, while aesthetically pleasing on first glance, is severely run down. It smells of mold, is full of huge roaches and has a lot of cosmetic damage and disrepair. Their website advertises a 60 euro massage and hamman as well as childcare. Upon my appointment I learned that there is no childcare and was charged 70 euro (mind you my children were in the room throughout treatment, not exactly the relaxing hour I had planned). The “massage therapist” is not trained and lacks understanding of human anatomy or basic massage technique. The icing on the cake happened after checkout. I prepaid for my 3 night stay over $319. I paid my overcharged 70 euro roach infested spa experience, I requested and paid my final bill after breakfast of over $75 (and conveniently their credit card machine was not working, welcome to Fes). I used her driver to depart. She had the driver pull over on the side of the road with 2 other men and hold my children and I hostage for 40 minutes until she arrived demanding money she claimed I owed her. They would not let us go until I paid her a lousy $30. Her driver then demanded our U.S. passports at which point things took a bigger turn for the worse. I have a case filed against all the people involved including the Riad owner who orchestrated the event. Dangerous people.
