Riad Rasia

The host welcomed us warmly with mint tea and sesame cookies upon arrival. The mint tea was incredibly refreshing, and the cookies were delicious! After leaving, we couldn’t find mint tea as good as this anywhere else. We also tried a traditional local dish (a type of bread) at the hotel, and it was absolutely tasty. Breakfast was also very enjoyable, and the courtyard had a lot of character and charm. The host was very friendly and made us feel at home.

The air conditioning unit in the room seemed dusty, which triggered our allergic rhinitis, causing itchiness in our eyes, nose, and throat. Unfortunately, the heating function of the air conditioning wasn’t working, so we had a cold night as there was no other source of warmth.

Cleanliness and hospitality top! The position in the medina. Beautiful room and good and healthy breakfast.

The room we got was not finished yet. It was missing essential furniture, like a bedside table, some lights were not working and decorative elements in the room were missing, like a carpet.

The riad is very beautiful! The location is great, it was easy to find it. The only problem was that Google maps didn’t show the correct final turn. Staff is welcoming and supportive - gave us all the necessary info about medina, helped with the luggage, communicated before arrival. The room was simple but clean with good AC.

The soap and shampoo were poor, the were no shower gel.

RATING BY GUEST SUSANNE: Staying at Riad Rasia felt like stepping into a dream. Every detail of the accommodation was lovingly and beautifully designed. I enjoyed the most restful sleep in the white, immaculately clean, and crisp sheets of a spacious wooden four-poster bed. The staff, particularly Murad, went above and beyond to take care of me. He thoughtfully explained which sites to visit and flawlessly arranged transport for me. Breakfast was an exceptional experience—a feast for the senses. Every dish was artfully presented in beautiful little bowls, with a new delicacy to savor each day. I had my own cozy breakfast corner, complete with a charming rose-patterned sofa, where I could savor my breakfast in perfect comfort.

Beautiful and sparking clean rooms (even better that the pictures) Very helpful and polite people running the riad Good location

Nothing - Everything was perfect

The riad was beautiful, showcasing the traditional charm of the area perfectly. Our host Mourad was exceptionally kind and helpful, assisting us with everything we needed.

During the day, the riad hosts tourist groups for lunch, so preparations begin early in the morning. As a result, you may wake up to the strong smell of cooking, onions, in particular. We noticed that by the time we left, all of our belongings had absorbed the scent of food ( something i really did not like). It would have been great if the food at the riad were more reasonably priced, as it was on the expensive side (European prices). This would have been especially helpful, given that the food options in the area didn’t always seem the cleanest or most appetizing. The riad is located in the old town of Fes, which, for us, was very overwhelming. The neighborhood is densely crowded and not clean, with some common tourist traps (beware of claims like "this shop only opens once a year"). Additionally, there was a strong smell of leather that even permeated the riad itself. In my opinion, Fes may not be the most baby-friendly destination. These details aren’t necessarily drawbacks specific to Riad Rasia, as they likely apply to many riads in the area. However, it's helpful to know what to expect before visiting Fes.

Beautiful house and well located. Staff is amazing, welcoming and helpful. We particularly enjoyed Mourad's (hope I got his name right) service and help answering all our questions about the medina. Rooms are spacious.

The hotel feels slightly unfinished - work is still going on on the rooftop and the main common areas are empty. The hotel could benefit from more ambiance and lighting (especially after sundown where all the lights are turned off and the place is completely dark) but that did not affect the overall comfort.

It was in the old city which made it very easy to move around. Also Mourat, who runs the hotel was there for us willing to help us anytime always with a big smile. He made as feel as being at home.
