Riad Salam Fes & Spa

This is the place to stay in Fez. It is exceptional. The decor is classic Moroccan… extensive wood carvings, mosaic etc. the lobby and main dining room is incredible. We stayed in a large suite. It will fit for a king (I think someone in the royal family actually stayed at the hotel). Hamman was great. Moroccan Music at night. The only negative was the dinner was only a 7/10 (food was a bit dry). However, overall I would give this riad 9/10.

Rustic classic moroccan riad. Lobby is gorgeous due to a total renovation some years ago. However, the rooms do not reflect the same detail of attention. The room and bathroom is very basic. Shower head and faucets are not securely fastened and the shower is in desperate need of an upgrade. Breakfast buffet is ample and service is excellent. We were part of a Gate 1 trip and our group dinner of couscous was excellent. I would have preferred something upscale

Alles war toll.

We left our bagagge in recepcion. When my bagagge came to our room , somebody had opened my bag and had stolen some money into my wallet. Hotel manager didn't hear our complain. Besides, our romms semmed dirty and poorly maintained. Brekfast served with little disere

We spent the afternoon in our cooking class after shopping for the ingredients and having the staff wash and prepare the vegeables and chicken. We were awestruck by the opulence of the raid which is a series of connected houses. Just exquisite and a friendly staff who took tons of videos of our cooking course that we will cherish.

My only wish is that our tour operator had chosen the Salam Fez for our stay. As it was we enjoyed a wonderful day cooking and eating with the help of the delightful staff - especially Lena who guided us in buying our ingredients in the souk and Ayesha for the preparation experience. Meanwhile we gasped at the opulence of the public rooms, the magnificent tiling and woodwork and ate our meal in the exquisite pool atrium. All the staff were attentive and pleasant. Other reviews and tips were highly amusing as these entitled guests have obviously not experienced the real Fes or Morocco!!

We spent two nights here during our visit to Fez. The riad is lovely. There is something beautiful where ever you look. Our room was large and had a nice seating area. The A/C - heating unit worked well and there was a nice shower. The pop up plug in the sink was good to have. The breakfast was lovely and we had dinner one night at the riad and it was very good as well. The location is within walking distance of the Blue Gate and the area is good. This was a lovely place to stay.

The hotel is beautiful and overall it was a good experience. The food at the restaurants was very good. (The chicken pastille is fantastic.) It does have some notable deficiencies, however: 1. WiFi is terrible. Literally no wifi signal in our room and dead spots around the hotel. Only the main lobby had decent wifi. The tv in the room had many channels but only a few worked. 2. The spa is one small, dark massage room with two tables and through that the hammam. There is no separate shower area for use before or after your spa treatment unless the treatment itself is the hammam. The massage tables have no hole for the face to breathe through, so face-down treatment is very uncomfortable. There is very little privacy to change out of clothes other than a tiny bathroom in the treatment room. After your spa treatment, unless you change back into your clothes at the spa, you have to walk thru the lobby in a bathrobe to get to your room. My wife did the hammam (wash and scrub) and said that was a good experience. I had a regular massage, which was amateurish and not worth it in my opinion.

Highly recommended, fantastic food, fantastic service, and fantastic atmosphere. It is a must. The staff was very friendly and were very engaging with all their guests. Very affordable it was a three course meal and plenty of food really too much to eat, but that’s what’s great about it.

An amazing experience and the food was absolutely delicious!! The staff was so helpful with describing the food, the food came out not only beautiful but so pleasurable to eat. the building and decor is so beautiful. Highly recommend you visit here!
