Well run property in heart of Fez that survived COVID-19 by running lean and mean. We were one of only three families in this ~8 room hotel owned by a family with 2 other riads nearby. Room was clean, staff were pleasant and breakfast was hearty. For the 90 euro/night fee for my family of three this was a great choice.

La qualité esthétique du mobilier choisi avec goût et cohérance,les finitions de l'ensemble sont à scruter avec délice,trés bon services,c'est un Riad digne des 1000 et 1 nuits.Au plus prés du souk de Fès.
Buena ubicación, a 5 min de la Puerta Azul. Personal amable y atento. Desayuno copioso. Le falta alguna reforma e mn el caso de nuestra habitación: ducha, grifos, tv

There is nothing I can say that I liked about this place. The overall experience was nothing like anything we had at any other Riad or Hotel during our 10 day trip in Morocco. The lady manager (Iman) was absolutely dreadful. Only pushing to sell things through this Riad and becoming rude and angry with us if we had other arrangements. She was not helpful at all.
Rooms are dirty and falling apart. Breakfast we were served butter packages that when opened had mold in them.
The owner of the hotel was no better. When he found that we no longer wanted to stay for the second night we had pre-booked he got extremely upset and at some times even threatening me.
We were a family of 6 travelling Morocco for 10 days and we had the best experience in 6 cities with some of the kindest most welcoming people except for this place.
Un très bon accueil et des personnels très gentils
Le riad est très bien placé à 5 m à pied de la Porte bleue .

Nice Riad. But wont consider it a 4 star. Maybe really important that others realise that a Riad experience is very different to hotels.

Very close to the Médina. Helpful staff.
I booked a room with a view. As it’s one of a dozen bookings on this trip, I failed to notice I was given the wrong (but beautiful) room.
On request and after a few staff I was changed to the roof terrace room I booked. Shame about the rain.
The pictures show the riad as it is, a beautifully laid out and appointed home.
Another guest returned to find her belongings packed up and moved to another Riad entirely. With the mangeress blaming the customer to me “nothing but problems”.
I don’t like overfamiliarity or guilt and baksheesh requests.
I had booked a tour prior to my arrival and was made to feel guilty for not giving them the business. Yet my requests in return were not met with enthusiasm.
When I requested an extra hour to check out I was made to feel as though it was a huge inconvenience. As though everything was out of their control.
They had a quick attitude to blaming me or anyone else for errors or broken items or wrong rooms!
Nothing was their fault! Not even the apparent owner accepted responsibility.
They made me feel bad.
They have a wonderful roof top they don’t tell their guests about! Hopeless.
I didn’t mind sharing it with the sheets and towels. It added to the authenticity.

A new experience
This was my first experience with a riad, and it was very nice. Unlike a hotel, you had to knock to enter each time you left, so that was a little inconvenient for me. However, the owners were very nice and concerned about our welfare. They took good care of us. Next time I will know what to expect and take advantage of the riad experience better.

Disappointing
Is a beautiful riad lovely breakfast , however we were given a room out of the riad in the building next door without any explanation , therefore we were not able to enjoy the real Moroccan ambiance of the room which was described in the act , very disappointing

Highly recommended
This Riyad is beautiful - if you have a room at the top you will also have a great view - but, be warned there are lots of stairs to be climbed to get there! The decor is brilliant too - a lot of work has gone into this Riyad, and the food was quite adequate.

I did not get what I paid for
My room was not available. They moved me to another Riad. Staff was really great in both, but I did not get what I paid for. The Riad I stayed was not as nice as the one I booked. Bathroom was smelling really bad. My room was not cleaned during my stay. Breakfast was awful.

Most Enchanting Riad
This is one of the best Riad's my family and I hav stayed in! Kept emaculatly clean with an extremely friendly and helpful staff. They were willing to go the extra mile to help us acclimate to Fez. Nothing less than a five star experience -- I look forward to going back. Afshan
