Riad Rcif

Pros- rooms are clean, riad is magnificent and beautiful, the staff is wonderful & kind. Cons- the Medina in Fes is a hard one to navigate making one wrong turn literally add to the complication. While it is only five minutes from the gate, that is five minutes if you already know the streets. As a solo traveler, it’s really important for me to able to move with some degree of ease. I’m not expecting second nature but nothing should be this hard. There were also a few instances that the communication I thought was clear was indeed not leaving me to navigate to the riad at midnight alone. Not impossible but not ideal. Overall though, the accommodations are beautiful, the room was clean and inviting, and the staff was great

Amazing setting good breakfast

Worth it !! Very nice staff and great food! The hotel looked greatv

Highly recommended. Clean, comfortable and beautiful. The perfect place to stay in Fes. The staff, Noor, Salim, Abdul, Hassan and Mohammed, couldn't have been more welcoming or professional.

Great staff, great road, we will come back

The riad is absolutely beautiful on the inside, with stunning mosaics and traditional Moroccan decor. The swimming pool is lovely and adds to the charm of the place. The staff were very kind and accommodating throughout my stay. While the location inside the Medina is picturesque, it can be a bit inconvenient—GPS doesn’t work well in the narrow alleys. However, the riad does help by sending local young men to guide you to and from the property, which is incredibly helpful (be sure to tip them). If you have early excursions, they’ll even prepare a takeaway breakfast for you, which is a thoughtful touch. The air conditioning worked exceptionally well—much better than other places I’ve stayed in Morocco. Overall, I definitely recommend this riad for its beauty, comfort, and hospitality. Just be prepared for a little navigating in and out of the Medina.

We had a lovely stay at riad rcif , the food was good the room as well, nice location. Highly recommend

We followed our porter through the twilit twisting streets of the Medina for some time before they opened the door to this incredibly opulent Riad! What a gem with ornate and detail-oriented renovated rooms that restored the splendour of this old house. Food was delicious on the rooftop terrace overlooking the Medina. Host was gracious and staff made us feel at home. We wandered through the Medina the next day and it was a true Moroccan experience. Would highly recommend!

The facilities at Riad Rcif are absolutely breathtaking. Feels like staying in a (very comfortable) museum. Also the best A/C and best showers we had in all of Morocco. I normally don’t like pushy help, but the owner’s insistence that we eat at the nearby restaurant and use his volunteer guides was invaluable. I never have trouble navigating new spaces, but the medina is insanely easy to get lost in.

It's buried in the heart of the Medina and therefore difficult to access. The service was fairly poor with the manager sleeping at checkout time. We also weren't shown to our room but left in the reception area drinking the complementary tea upon arrival. The upstairs terrace for breakfast is good.

An amazing house with stunning decorations and city views. A fantastic place, very impressive. Breakfast and dinner are great. Turkish bath is fun. Everything is perfect. Love to visit again.

Beautiful place and outstanding service!

Riad Rcif in Fez, Morocco is a true gem that I highly recommend to anyone looking for a luxurious and authentic Moroccan experience. From the moment you step through the door, you are transported to a serene oasis that is beautifully decorated with traditional Moroccan furnishings and artwork. The Riad's courtyard is especially breathtaking, with its tranquil pool and lush greenery that creates a peaceful atmosphere. One of the standout features of Riad Rcif is its excellent staff, who go above and beyond to ensure that guests have an enjoyable stay. In particular, Aymane is a member of staff who truly stands out. He is an exceptional host who greets guests with a warm smile and provides helpful recommendations on places to see and things to do in Fez. Aymane is dedicated to making guests feel comfortable and at home, and his attention to detail is evident in the small touches that he adds to each guest's experience. Overall, I highly recommend Riad Rcif to anyone visiting Fez. Its beautiful architecture, stunning decor, and exceptional staff make for an unforgettable stay. And with Aymane as a part of the team, you are sure to be well taken care of and made to feel right at home.

We had an incredible stay at Riad Rcif. Finding the Riad is a bit overwhelming at first as the Medina is chaotic and tight. Keep your head up and you’ll eventually see signs for Riad Rcif and Alif, which are sister properties. Follow these signs! Don’t let people try to guide you as they will ask for money. The signs are very clearly laid out, thank you to the hotel team! The sign “Place Rcif” take you back out of the Medina. Once you find the Riad….it’s even better than the photos, which is rare! The site is gorgeous, but the best part are the staff working there - they are so warm, helpful and kind. Hassan helped us with finding the parking lot, Ayman was always available for restaurant recommendations and the whole team (including their younger friend whose name we missed) were always smiling and making our days better, especially at breakfast! Props to the team. It’s important to manage your expectations when booking any Riad in the Medina - it’s loud, old and confusing. If you’re okay with this, you’ll have an incredible time exploring! A word of caution about the tour guide the hotel recommends - it is a commercial tour. This was interesting, as we saw leather, copper, weaving, ceramic districts etc, but may not be for everyone. The tour is 250MAD for 4 people for 3 hours, but he also gets you to pay 160MAD in advance to cover your “entrance fees”. Parking is ~10min walk, 30MAD/day. Lovely attendants and we felt totally safe leaving our car there.

Beautiful hotel, like staying in a royal palace. Staff was amazing, took care of every request. Huge rooms, hot water, comfortable bed. Our only complaints were the lighting is very dim in the rooms, and our shower had only 1/4 of a glass door so it was very difficult to not get water all over the floor. Location is well marked but still very easy to get lost in the medina of fes, be prepared and dont get hustled by locals for help finding the place, call the hotel or text on whatsapp and they will make sure you get what you need or come and meet you… Also amazing view from rooftop terrace of entire old city, and great breakfast included

Palazzo meraviglioso, personale molto gentile e professionale. Ottima anche la cucina.

Alors pour commencer le riyad et juste magnifique j’ai résidé dans la suite ambassadeur elle est juste magnifique située au cœur de l’ancienne ville tout les plus gros site touristique sont à coter pour ma part j’ai tout fait à pied le personnel et adorable et à l’écoute surtout je reviendrai sans hésiter

This riad is beautiful! I didn't expect it to live up to the pictures, but it does!

Very Moroccan style garish colours Hard to find and expensive (for Morocco)

This was such an authentic Riad and it was located in the medina. It is currently adding a new wing and this wing will be a great addition and will include an elevator.
