Ryad Alya

Very nice concierge and great breakfast in the morning. I enjoyed my experience. It is a bit difficult to find, and further away from the Old Medina, but everything ran very smoothly.

I cannot say enough about this hotel. It is in a good location but the service is what really stood out. The hotel is one of the most beautiful we have stayed anywhere in the world for any price. We had dinner here both nights we stayed because the service, food and setting were so amazing. My husband and I both took advantage of the spa and loved it. Our only regret is that we wish we could have stayed longer!

Generally very positive. Nice,helpful staff. Lovely view from rooftop. Beautiful garden courtyard. Room smelled a little of the bathroom.

Extremely amazing stay at riad alya. Very caring and hospitable staff who made our stay extra relaxing. Hassan and his team were so hospitable and attended to all our needs. Highly recommend this Riad -look no further!

Beautiful Riad in quiet location Close to souks. Friendly staff. Great service.

Ryad Alya was lovely! We stayed in the Ouarzazate Room for 4 nights, which was very nice. However, a note to couples - it is not a double room, it is a twin room with two singles at either end of the room. The room itself was big and clean, as was the bathroom. We had a few issues with the shower not having hot water (but this was mostly fine as it was so hot in Fes anyway). The staff at the ryad are extremely friendly, particularly Hassan, Enas, and Fatah! We were greeted with delicious tea and cookies upon arrival, so delicious that we ordered them on another occasion (for €6). Hassan and Enas even gave us a box of cookies as a leaving gift, as they knew we'd liked them so much! Along with the staff, the other great aspect of Ryad Alya was the amazing breakfast. We had such an array of foods (Moroccan pancakes, bread, cakes, yoghurt, eggs, orange juice, coffee, hot milk, tomato jam - which was very tasty - and more!) and so much of each that we never needed to eat until dinner! Thank you Ryad Alya!

By far the best stay we have ever had..the staff and owner are unbelievably hospitable, friendly and helpful..the food is great and accommodation is quaint and very comfortable..

We canot say enough kind or praising words about our stay here. It was magical. The staff- all of them, from the owner to manager to our day to day hosts especially Fatah- were the most welcoming, hospitable and caring hosts who guided our entire Fes experience. We dined in one night to a sumptuous and delicious meal. Breakfasts were superb. We viewed all the rooms and they are clean and meticulous. We also availed ourselves to a Turkish bath and a massage on premises that we are still fondly remembering. We cannot say enough about the Ryad and its people. Having traveled to 48 countries and stayed in everything from a Motel 6 to the grandest 5 star hotels, this is one we will always remember and cherish.

The ryad itself is beautiful with lovely tile and intricate woodwork. The courtyard is filled with trees and elegant furnishings. Every area in the Ryad that we saw was spotless day and night. Our room was lovely and the bathroom very modern and attractive. All of the staff members were friendly and helpful without being overbearing. The night caretaker Fatah, who also served breakfast in the morning, was charming and spoke fluent English and French (in addition to Arabic) and was a joy to be around!! He was most helpful in answering questions about the local sites and history of the Ryad. We would highly recommend Ryad Alya to anyone visiting Fez.

My husband and I stayed in the Ryad Alya for 4 nights and had a lovely time. The location is great to all sightseeing, especially of the Medina which is nearby. It is also very close to restaurants and a short taxi drive to the busy and modern Nouvelle Cite. The Ryad is beautifully restored and was very clean and the staff very friendly. Perfectly enjoyable time and would love to return and stay in one of the suites.
