This was, hands down, the most remarkable accommodation I have ever stayed at. I can't really compare it apples to apples to a regular hotel, but I have to say, it is even better than some traditional hotels I've stayed at! And by far, the best stay we had in Morocco.
The location is great. Just a short walk from the Medina and the Souks, but not so close that you felt you were caught in the middle of it all. About 6 minutes walking from a parking lot - we didn't need it, but if you have a car, this is a convenience I'm sure.
The Riad is stunning. Beautifully designed and decorated, with gorgeous detail and lovely vibe throughout. The view from the rooftop terrace is unmatched in that city. After spending a hectic and busy day around Fes and the Medina, retreating to this wonderful oasis is so needed and welcomed! They offer a spa, although we did not use the services, just sitting on the roof drinking tea and having cookies was relaxation enough.
The room is exquisite. We had one of the larger suites, and we are glad we chose it. Very spacious and comfortable, with heating in the room itself - a much needed necessity as we were there in February. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the bathroom had all the amenities we needed, and then some.
The staff. Where to begin? The most delightful people we met in Morocco. The staff at our hotel in Marrakech were amazing, but the staff in Fes - wow. They were so kind and accommodating, we really couldn't ask for more. Even when we had to leave before breakfast, they would either have everything prepared for us in advance, or would pack us a to-go bag with all the fixings. They really went above and beyond to accommodate us and make us feel at home in every way. I wish I could remember their names to call them out specifically, but it was a beautiful and nice lady at the counter, with her doorman counterpart, and the young man on the terrace who would bring our tea. Just a delightful bunch and I can't rave about them enough.
We would 100% stay here again and I highly recommend this Riad to all travellers in Fes!!
