We stayed at this riad for two nights and not only was our experience wonderful, it also made navigating all of Fes and indeed the rest of Morocco easier. The riad's owner, Reibal, sent clear directions on how to get to the place and what it might cost to do so. When we arrived, he offered us mint tea and cookies, and personally sat down to explain his tips for navigating Fes. He advised us how to explore the medina and the city (stay on the main boulevards; when in doubt always descend or climb; ignore people, including little kids, that try to get your attention, insult you when you ignore them, or claim that the route is closed and they can show you a better way; and if asking for help, do so inside a shop and not on the street, since the shopkeeper can't leave their business). The medina of Fes can be confusing and disorienting to navigate, so all of his directions and tips were most helpful and went a long way to making our stay pleasant. (In case you're wondering, Google Maps or similar does help to an extent too, but the GPS reception lags a little between all the narrow buildings, plus taking out a phone and looking at the map makes one look lost and thus more vulnerable to scammers offering to "help." Reibal took a good 20 or 30 min to welcome us and chat with us, and throughout our entire stay he would regularly take time to chat and check in on how things were going. Our room - and indeed most of the riad - was well-appointed, renovated, and clean, with a bowl of fruit waiting to welcome us. The rooftop terrace and the inner courtyard were lovely spaces to relax, and the Wi-Fi was good too. The staff were all excellent and ready to assist with calling us taxis or helping us navigate Fes. They also arranged for a private driver onward to Meknes that we were most happy with for quality and price. Breakfast was excellent and in beautiful surroundings, with eggs, yogurt, fruit, and a selection of breads and spreads. The effort and care Reibal and his staff put into the business is clear and comes through in everything about this riad. It also helps that the riad is located on the medina's edge, so combined with Reibal's advance directions it's easy to get a taxi to/from there. In summary, this is an excellent base for exploring Fes and was a great start to our trip in Morocco. Highly recommended!…

This is an absolute amazing riad one of the best places I have ever stayed and I travel a lot. Reibal the owner is fantastic he emailed me before arrival with lots of information and arranged our transfers and a trip of fez for us with Mohammed who is absolutely star so polite and friendly. Reibal greets each guest individually and sits and explains the does and don’t of fez and how to avoid tourist traps he explains how to walk to the sites in the medina and provides a map. The whole stay was amazing due to the high level of service provided by Reibal and his lovely staff nothing is too much for them they go out of their way to help with everything. We stayed in 2 rooms and both equally amazing the pictures don’t do justice. Breakfast is fantastic with yoghurt fruit salad cakes eggs it’s a 6 course affair dinner is great you have to inform them before hand if you want dinner due to limited seating everything we had was delicious . It’s just a short walk from the medina and taxis are readily available just outside the door the staff negotiate the price and tell the driver where u want to go. We did a trip to Chefchaouen and left our luggage at the riad, upon arrival it had been transferred to our new room ready waiting for us along with my adapter I forgot. I can’t praise Reibal highly enough for making our stay in fez amazing definitely would go back we loved our stay at riad Andalib. Reibal goes the extra mile with each individual guest making the stay a great experience. …

It was love at first sight! We stepped through the doors from the street into a Moroccan jewel box. The colours, the tiles, the marble carving, the balconies, the cushions, polished brass, the perfect little pool - all simply divine. We had arrived late on the train from Tarifa but luckily we had booked dinner prior to our arrival. After some fresh mint tea and freshening up in our gorgeous room we enjoyed a lamb and vegetable tagine with rice and flat bread - delicious. We floated off to bed with happy hearts and tummies - knowing we had found somewhere really special and that we were lucky to be staying there for 5 days. The breakfeasts(!) were amazing - fruit, juice, cereal, freshly made yoghurt, eggs, breads and an amazing array of pancakes, pastries, crumpets - something different made fresh each day. Reiba is the consummate host, being around but not intrusive, charming and kind - he does't miss a thing and his local knowledge and advice was far better than any guide book! His map and great directions made sure we did not get lost in the Medina and made it back safely each time we ventured out. The afternoon he organised for me at an upscale hamman in the new town was unbelievably fabulous - one of the highlights of our travels. I could not recommend Riad Andalib more highly - as the owner of similar place in Bali I know how much work goes into making it all seem effortless. My one wish is that one day Reibal will come and visit and we can host him with the same generosity of spirit he shared with us. …

The best hospitality we’ve ever received. We came as guests and left as friends. Andalib riad raises the bar for hotels and riads all across Marrakesh. We’ve been traveling all across Morocco, don’t think any hotel/riad even came close to what Andalib offers. Reibel (the owner of the riad) went out of way to make sure we are comfortable and have a great time in Fez. He gave us a full download of Moroccon culture, potential tourist traps, and tricks to navigate the Medina without hiring any guides. If we visit Fez again, the biggest reason would be to enjoy Reibel’s hospitality. The rooms, location and food, everything was just perfect. Unlike most other highly rated riads across Morocco(sometimes more expensive ones), Andalib has very spacious,clean and practical rooms. And in my experience as a traveler( including the most luxurious travels), I haven’t seen a more attentive staff. …

I would like to commend Reibal and his team in Riad Andalib with their exceptional hospitality when my fiancee and I stayed at their Riad for 5 days. We were greeted with local cookies and mint tea while Reibal goes over some key things to remember especially when it's your first time in Morocco. Our room was upgraded as well which we greatly appreciated. Reibal is very knowledgeable and helpful. He also organised our train and airport transfers and even last minute day trip to Volubilis and Meknes. This made things run smoothly in our end. The rest of the staff in the Riad were pleasant and helpful in any questions you might have eg ATM locations, laundry, taxi, restaurant bookings. The food within the Riad was one of the best meals we've had in our whole stay around Morocco. Price was decent as well. If you are staying in the Riad you get first dibs in the restaurant every night so this is perfect especially if you don't want to go out of the Riad anymore. We were happy with the location. They are walking distance to the medina, tannery and ATMs. There are also some food places nearby. Overall it was a nice stay and will definitely come back. Again thank you for having us!…

The room had a walk in shower and a separate bath tub.
This place is terrific.
You do need to walk up stairs to get to the rooms so if you have moblitity issues this may not be the best place to stay.
We liked Fez much better than Marrakech. Essouria was wonderful, but it is a big windy beach and not really a place where you would hunker down for. Beach type holiday as another person commented. We spent about 8 days in Morocco and that was perfect. 3 days in Fez, 2 days in Essouria and 3 days in Marrakech. We did not do the dessert, but my son did on an earlier trip and said it was way too much time in the car. In my opinion 14 days would be 4 too many. Fez was very authentic, very few tourists and easy place to take some day trips.
