    Could have provided heating in the bathrooms.

    The setup of the Riad is good and well maintained. The rooms are good size and the beds were comfy. It provides some good food sourced from local ingredients. Our host was very welcoming and made us feel at home. The A/C was bit noisy, but was immediately sorted out. Location is also good, the centre was just 3 minutes walk where you can find lots of taxis and so as the Medina. The shower pressure was excellent and so as the bathroom size.

    The room was bit dark but we attributed it to our evenings there in winter times.

    Riad was well decorated, young, simple and friendly staff. Breakfast was exceptionally good, we asked for gluten-free and we got it. Freshly squeezed orange juice and Starbucks standard coffee.

    Best riad in Fes ever! A few days before my arrival, I sent a message in booking to the riad to inform them of my 4am train arrival and was told that a staff would pick me up at a designated place. As promised, Ali picked me up at the main street, took my luggages, guided me to the riad and even served tea and delicious almond biscuits. Providing service in the wee hours of the morning is mind-blowing! I believe the riad is an amalgamation of mesmerizing handmade tiles, cozy room and exceptional service & food that you would never experience in any other riads in Fes. A home away from home!

    The entrance gave us the WOW effect. We were greeted with traditional cookies and mint tea served on a silver platter, seated on the softest silky pillows, surrounded by amazingly beautiful Moroccan tiles. Serving people is a noble thing and Ali does it in such Royal manner. The way he was dressed and his hospitality, as well as knowledge and experience with guests and tourism, was remarkable… very polite young man! Riad was cleaned with care, by a dear Bedia, and the rest of the staff we met enjoying evenings on a rooftop terrace, made us like our stay very much.

    When we said we wanted to explore the city, they arranged a guide for us. But the guide did not meet our expectation.

    Best riad culture. İf you want to stay in authentic riad, this place is right place. All our morocco trip, among the places we stayed, this was the place where we felt the authentic morocco vibe. Staff was so kind and helpful. İnside of the riad like a museum. Decoration was amazing. Room and bathroom was also large and same vibe still live in the room. Rooftop has no view but was still amazing chil out place. Breakfast was satisfaying with always fresh orenge juice.

    The breakfast in the patio was an amazing experience. Staff was always super kind and willing to do the extra mile for you. The Riad was very well located. It was just a 5-minute walk to Blue Gate but, at the same time, the taxi could get almost to the door of the Riad.

    The private tour guide we booked through this hotel for 3 hour private tour of Medina was rude, aggressive, unprofessional, violent, and threatened my sister and I when we didn't want to follow his itinerary at his pace. We tried to emphasize that this tour is private and it should be at our own pace but rather he seemed to have his own plans to take us to shops and businesses. When I was videotaping the argument he had with my sister, he turned around hit my hand hard causing my phone dropped hard on the ground. And at the end of the 3 hour time, he asked us to pay him. We wouldn't pay and he threatened to take us to the police. We asked him to get the police over, and waited with him for 30 min, but turned out he didn’t call police. He was just trying to threaten us. Wasted 3 hour 30 min of our time on this private tour.

    Attentive staffs. Good breakfast. Beautiful raid and courtyard, clean and large room, good value.

    The room furniture is a bit old. Thr bathtub was was a bit rusty.

    The inner patio is stunning and the rooms are very big and comfortable. The staff is very friendly and helpful, they came with us to park the parking nearby. It is located in a perfect place, close to the parking and to the crazy medina.

    It is like staying in a monument - or a fairy tale. In the centre, but in a quite location, the space is georgious. But the best quality are the people working there - kind, accessible, reliable.

    Sometimes problems to find the staff. (And the cake (huge) didn't show up until after when we came back from big dinner hehe).

    Wow! It felt like coming to a palace. Inte covered inner garden of the riad is just stunning. Out room was also big, and the bathroom huge… We got nice instructions about Fes. They also helped us to arrange a day trip to Meknes, Volubilis and Moulay Idriss. The staff was very friendly. They help us (me) arrange a cake and some roses for a birthday surprise. Very much appreciated! It's easy and crazy cheap to go to the train station with shared taxi.

    Nothing to complain, really. When you enter a historic riad like this you do not expect perfectly aligned walls, woodwork etc after centuries since its dwelling.

    Really nice old house converted into guest house, with generous spaces. The building retains its old charm, so don't expect top notch 5 stars hotel-like premises, but this is what it makes it genuine. Staff is excellent. Food, service, cleaning, everything was great. Good knowledge of foreign languages. Common areas are quiet and lavishly decorated. Location is convenient, alley is quiet and pretty much clean. We traveled with a 14 months old baby, it was a great stay for us. Recommended. Good value.
