“Superb Views over Fes Medina”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 23, 2012

We spent 3 nights in this spectacular Riad, beautifully restored and furnished and in a great location. The roof terraces provided superb views over the medina; particularly great at sun set. The team did everything to ensure that our stay was comfortable and memorable. The breakfast was excellent (the best we had on our holiday) and the evening meals were delicious. We would thoroughly recommend Riad Ahlam.

“A happy stay in Riad Ahlam”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 15, 2012

We enjoyed two wonderful nights in Riad Ahlam, Fes in late November. A warm welcome by Kacem, and kindness of the attentive staff was much appreciated on arrival. Fatia's cooking and happy disposition added to the whole experience.... oh those scrummy breakfasts and dinners!
Our room was spacious and comfortable, and Riad Ahlam is ideally situated only a short walk from the car park.
Our stay in Fez all added to our great "Rough Tours" itinerary and we left with happy memories.

“Amazing stay at the Riad Ahlam”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 11, 2012

This RIad is tops for customer service, location and cleanliness. Hassan is a wonderful owner and welcomed us brilliantly during our 2 night stay at the riad Ahlam. I could not have asked for a better or more pleasant experience. The staff here will go above and beyond to ensure you have a good visit in Fes. Rooms are beautifully decorated, spacious and well equipped. The breakfasts were best in class and dinner was one of the best meals I had in Morocco. Needless to say, I would return back in a heartbeat and will certainly encourage those who visit Fes to do so as well. Thanks for an amazing stay!!

“A very very good stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 7, 2012

This riad is amazing. It is, I've been to some riads, and this riad is the best of all! I went here with my parents and we got lost trying to search for the riad, and the staff gladly came and walk to help and find us!

As we arrived, we were stunned by the beauty of the riad, and the hospitality was great. The manager, Kassim was very nice, and very hospitable. Felt at home instantly! We were upgraded to a bigger room for the same price, which was great! Plus, the location which is very near to the medina makes it easy to go shopping and put it back in our room, in case it our load is too much to bear, haha.

Another plus is the breakfast. it was the delicious, one of the best breakfasts I ever had! The food choices are amazing, and Fatiha was so friendly and funny. Really great hospitality. My father loved the 'benin', and every else we went, he won't stop talking about the breakfast there!

One of the best riads we've ever been to, and despite the fact that wifi was cannot be fully accessible in our room, and there wasn't a heater, it didn't bring us down as we still loved the place. You cannot be let down. I'm sorry if this review isn't helping much, I'm only 13 but I felt the need to write a review :)

“A Paragon of Hospitality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 2, 2012

Situated on the edge of the medina, this riad is in a great location for exploring the souks. Walking only a few minutes, you'll find yourself in the middle of everything. Although we had a ilttle difficulty finding it initially (in the dark, after our GPS failed), we found that it was relatively easy to navigate in and out of town by car from that point as well.

Riad Ahlam is lovely- tastefully decorated and very welcoming. The room was very clean and comfortable. The rooftop terrace had a spectacular view-- it was a quiet, wonderful place to relax. The meals were also excellent-- the abundant breakfast was extremely satisfying (perfect to energize you for a long day of exploring) and the vegetarian tagine we had for dinner was the best we had in Morocco.

This riad provided the single most hospitable staff we encountered on our 24 day trip. Everyone went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was the best it could be. We were treated like family not only by everyone who worked there, but also by the guides recommended to us by the riad. We couldn't be more impressed with the service here and highly recommend Riad Ahlam.
