This is what I can truly call a Dar or a Riad after staying at different Riads in Fez and Marrakech. First of all the owner inherited this property from his grand father so it is like his own house (but he doesn't live there) and he doesn't treat it as a business to rip off tourists. From the time we arrived in Fez, they were at the nearest gate of the Medina to pick us up and our luggage (and if you ever have to find a riad on your own inside a medina of Fez or Marrakech you will promise never to stay at a Riad again). So anyway, we got VIP treatment right from the moment we arrived in Fez.

They arranged dinner for us really late at night without any problems. The owner and the staff were extremely friendly people. The owner gave us lots of tips about Fez and what to see and how to see. The next morning he arranged an official tour guide for us too who only charged 250 dirhams for the whole day (excluding the meal and transportation - roughly 120 dirhams).

The breakfast at the Riad was amazing - almost about 5 courses and you can request more if you feel more hungry though I can bet you won't.

They upgraded our room too to a much bigger and spacious room at no cost - that is how nice the owner Ahmed is - if he could do something for you he would.

I say all this after experiencing some business type riads in Marrakech (I will write reviews later) who had great flashy sites and rates - but extremely pathetic service (or maybe because this riad had spoiled us, our expectations from others were higher).

The riad had a big guest book with 1000's of happy reviews and I am surprised that trip advisor didn't have a review.

I would recommend staying at this Riad if you visit Fez - and I would also recommend visiting Fez and not only Marrakech because Fez has more authenticity to offer (in my opinion I would rather visit Fez and skip Merrakech if I had to visit one place).

And yes, don't forget to get an unofficial guide after you are done with the official guide because Fez Medina is impossible on your own - you will get lost in the hilly narrow streets which is nothing like Merrakech or Essauoira - We found a boy named Muhammad for 50 dirhams right outside Dar Anebar and if you ask the Dar owner for him, he'll find him for you. Remember, unofficial guides must be picked very very carefully!

All in all, the 2 nights in Fez wouldn't have been the same for us if we didn't stay at Dar Anebar.

[--]

We spent our first four nights in Morocco in Fez at the wonderful Dar Anebar. Their porters met us at the medina entrance by the Palais Jamai and led us into the maze that is the Medina. A few turns and there we were at a wood door. Had no idea what to expect. Welcomed by the owner/host Ahmed. We entered into an oasis of beauty and calm. A 3 story riad with a large courtyard featuring a small bubbling fountain and orange trees. Subtle yet rich decor and a sense of peace.

The staff settled us into a lounging area with mint tea while our bags were taken to the room. We were given a tour of the riad that ended on the roof terrace with tables and couches that overlook the city. Our room (Naïma Suite) was lovely with king size bed, sitting area, small refrigerator, and t.v. (great if you want one). We were made to feel welcomed by the additional fresh flowers, basket of fruit and chocolates by our pillows.

Beyond the sitting area was a dressing room and then the full bathroom including a double sink. The tub for soaking in after a day of shopping and walking the medina came fully equipped with the local brown soap and clay hair conditioner.

Big shuttered windows open onto the courtyard for breeze and light when desired.

Our big discovery though was the dining. Meals are served in the lounges off the courtyard. Sitting on plush couches at large tables. The service was perfect and the Food! Being a chef I did not know what to expect but all I can say is "Amazing"! Dined there three nights. Second night Ahmed sent us to a place that is considered one of the best restaurants/ hotels in town for dinner. It could not compare to Dar Anebar for food. Anebar's chef creates top notch restaurant meals yet gives a sense of home cooking as well. After another 3 nights in Marrakech we both agreed this was the best dining in both cities.

Ahmed arranged for an official medina guide, driver/guide for travelling, reservations and anything else we asked for. Just a charming caring professional person who is the epitome of Moroccan hospitality. It is his home and Ahmed and his staff make you feel like family, royal family.

Room prices ranged from 90 - 200 euro including breakfast.
Breakfast included: coffee, tea, juice, soft boiled egg, yogurt, assorted breakfast breads and pastries, jams and butter.
