We appreciated that the receptionist met us out on the street when we got out of the taxi and walked us to the riad. The AC and WIFI worked great in our room and we liked hanging out on the upstairs terace in the mornings and evenings. Breakfast is at 9 am and consisted of coffee and traditional bread products and toppings. We enjoyed out stay!

I was staying here a couple of days as I needed to attend court with my fiancée as part of the marriage process. The woman who works at the property is lovely! Looks after her guests and the location is convenient. Right inside the old city near Bab bouljoud. Breakfast provided is also a delightful traditional Moroccan one.

Super service! A very quick response to arrange a pick up from a late night flight (on FB messenger), even so we were warmly welcomed with mint tea and. The room was fine but if you want to sleep in it might be better to be higher up rather than 'in' the reception / breakfast area. Everybody was really nice, and the breakfast is good, even for vegans, with freshly squeezed juice and nice coffee. Location-wise it's also good, especially for when you first arrive, as it's not too far in to the maze, and also an easy walk to the bus station.

The staff is very friendly but we felt we got less value compared to similarly priced Riads around Morocco. The beds were extremely hard, the room was dirty, and we were shocked that the toilette is in the bathroom. There was also a smell of still water from the bathroom that was very uncomfortable. This place has a very pleasant rooftop, though. To me this felt more like a bargain hostel than a hotel.

The staff was extremely helpful and welcoming. Nabil and staff took the time to chat with us during check-in, recommended places to see and restaurants for dinner. One of the days they were sharing a meal together and asked us to join in and try! Food was absolutely delicious. Our breakfast spread was Moroccan dishes which included freshly squeezed orange juice, mint tea, coffee, msemen, beghrir, croissants along side cheese, butter, honey and jams. The place will likely be a bit noisier during busier times of the year because you can hear people walking in the alley outside. Perhaps that's the case because our room was on the ground floor.

My only complaint is that our air conditioner didnt work so we couldnt sleep very well and the tv didnt work either. Since they dont have reception 24 hours we couldnt complain. Our room was #5.

The riyad is very very close to the blue Gate and the beginning of the Medina of Fez. The Riyad itself is very nicely decorated with typical Moroccan style. The breakfast was very good and the people at the reception Hasna and Sana are extremely nice and friendly and so was the owner of the house. The only downside are the high steps which is slightly uncomfortable for those not fit, and over 55 years. But this is a typical Riyad. and this is the real Morocco. I would definetely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a decent place, for a decent price with a Maroccan flair.

I stayed in three sifferent raids. If I were to return, this is the one I would stay at again. The raid is small but the staff wae super helpful and kind. They speak English which was so helpful. Upon arrival I got a brief history of the riad and important information for navagating the medina. They arranged excursions for me that I enjoyed. This did not happen at the other riads I stayed at. That extra personal touch makes a huge difference in one’s stay.

The absolute worst hotel I’ve ever booked. Took nearly an hour to check in because they were accidentally overbooked. They said there were no rooms I had booked available and instead gave me a temporary bigger room… but the smell in there was awful. I thought it was gasoline at first and got a massive headeache after just minutes in the room. Turns out the walls were freshly painted which I discovered after moving my bags which were now covered in wet paint. As they had no other rooms available I had to book a new hotel, and they still refuse to pay me back for my booking.
