    It is in ville nouvelle, 30-minute walk from the medina.

    Beautiful riad, kind and helpful owner. The place is simply amazing.

    Beautifully appointed rooms in a lovely, peaceful property - a welcome oasis not far from (by car) from the medina. Fabu

    Staff/logistics could be much better. Aside from Youssef (who was great), we felt very uncomfortable with how we were made to feel with the check in and payment process where we were chased with payment and had our breakfast interrupted (though in fairness, they did ask if we were finished but what could we say) before a day trip as we were asked to make payment for our rooms despite having one more night before check in. This made us feel very uncomfortable, like the staff were worried we were going to run away without paying. If the team were really desperate for payment ahead of checkout, this situation could have been mitigated if the check in process was more efficient - we were left sitting in reception with no one asking anything further as staff continued talking and welcoming other guests.

    Lovely property in a decent location about 15 minutes taxi from the medina. Great hot shower and comfortable room. Breakfast was also decent buffet of the standard fare. Youssef was fantastic.

    Exciting ancient medina but boring modern city centre and very heavy traffic most of the time

    The area was a long way from the ancient medina. Booking.com site etc talk about the Medina, but you should note that the modern Medina is a fairly long way (2 miles) from the ancient medina that everyone wants to visit. Traffic can be bad. Taxi is best but it's a hassle and there is nothing in the modern medina area of any interest except modern cafe's serving ice-cream and crepes + burgers. All very european / american, which is not what most 'travellers' to Morocco are looking for, in my opinion.

    Nice breakfast - more than enough. Lovely staff - the girls were also extremely helpful. Beautiful grounds and historic building - an oasis in what is actually a modern part of Fez. Room was fairly small but adequate, and very pretty traditional decor.

    Low intimacy, the room is not isolated from the noise outdoors so it can feel a bit unintimate specially when there are people outside but also when you're at the toilet for example what can be a bit annoying ;-D

    The house was wonderful, with a really nice garden and pool. I loved all the constructive details and the house is well-placed. The employees of the guest house were really helpful and friendly specially when it came to a special situation due my ill my partner.

    You really need to drive from the property rather than walk, to explore.

    A beautiful quality Riad, with an outdoor pool and lovely garden areas. They accommodated my request for a quiet room and it was great. A lovely oasis. Breakfast was served outside. Free Parking on the street outside the property.

    The Riad is in the centre of the Ville Nouvelle, which offers the chance of a relatively calm place to which to return. However, one needs to take a taxi to get to the Medina (although this is cheap and not difficult) and there is some street noise.

    This Riad is beautifully decorated. The rooms are comfortable. The staff are attentive and pleasant. Breakfast is served in a lovely garden with roses.

    Our bed was very hard, breakfast was not great (eggs undercooked, breads and cakes very tough) compared to other places we have stayed.

    Property is beautiful and very well maintained. Our room was lovely with our own bathroom and air conditioning. Staff were very friendly and helpful even with the language barrier. I really appreciated them doing our laundry after our stay in the desert. Having not been to Fes before, I thought I was booking a Riad in the old city. This Riad is in the new centre and is about a 50 minute walk or 15 minute taxi to old Medina.

    This is a general comment, not perse for the riad, but Morroccan beds are a bit hard. I prefer a bed on the softer side

    The riad was really beautiful; everything little detail was thought of. The staff is incredibly lovely, thoughtful and sweet. The riad is placed in ville nouvelle, which was perfect for us to get away from the hustle and bustle during the day in the medina.
