“Beautiful Riad in Fez -- just a couple of problems”

Reviewed May 9, 2013

Riad is absolutely beautiful and food was good if not outstanding. Service was spotty with a lot of "management" and not enough "workers". Owner was a bit overbearing and was very unkind to our guide -- we couldn't figure out why as our guide was wonderful and not the least bit difficult. A bit more care on service would make... More

“Wonderful Stay!”

Reviewed May 3, 2013

Our group arrived in Fes last April 16th and was whisked to this beautiful riad. At first, we were kind of worried when our driver Anzani parked the Grand Starex van in an area not typical for a hotel. The outside area going to the rias was dusty and the building around the area were non-assuming, plain mud like structures... More

“Sleeping in your dream hotel”

Reviewed April 11, 2013

Just LOVED the place. We had the most beautiful room on the second floor. It didn't look like a room, more like staying in Aladdin's palace. It was our best hotel stay in Morocco! Breakfast was great, and they added salads based on our request. It was just so pleasant to come back from our daily tours to this beautiful... More

Dear Guest I always do think of the Fez Medina, like it is the little place that Aladdin and his friends had their adventures, so i truly appreciate the comparison :) We are glad that you had a lovely stay with here at the Riad, and of course it was a great pleasure to have you. Please do feel free... More

“Spectacular”

Reviewed March 22, 2013

Our driver pulled up outside a building site and rang the riad for assistance with our baggage. We walked along a muddy dirt track to a very ordinary door, walked down a flight of stairs and were blown away. We stayed in a few riads during our 3 weeks in morocco, but nothing as extraordinary as this. The internal courtyard... More

“Nice road, but not warm!”

Reviewed March 4, 2013

Visited here in March for 3 nights. The building cannot fail to impress in its size and grandeur. Not sure about some of the decoration but it is spectacular. At the beginning if March we were disappointed to find quite significant building work going on. The swimming pool was green and opaque in amongst the works. We never heard any... More
