Dar Faracha Fes

Mourad was an awesome host, picking us up from the shuttle bus stop and always available for hints or just a quick talk. The room was amazing, the beds super comfy and the shower great. It was quite and the AC worked perfectly. The riad itself is beautiful. The location has its own charm. Sometimes the people around can be a bit annoying (trying to trick you all the time), but you also get to see some local life around, so overall ok.

Overall the breakfast was ok, but rather basic (no fruit or eggs, which we kinda hoped for, giving the very nice place).

It was a lovely place, super friendly staf, good breakfast I would recommend the riad and would love to go back! Thanks for the wonderfull stay

As you can read in other reviews it is not so easy to find in a narrow street but don´t worry you get help from mourad

Escape from the Medina (old town) and jump into the fairytale of 1001 nights. Where is Aladin? Well there is Murad, the best host ever! He is always there, always on to make this stay unforgettable. Lovely beds, beautiful rooms, super breakfast. Best experience ever. Thanks Murad and team!! 10+

Gorgeous authentic hotel in Old Town. Beautiful furnishings, linens and decor. We were warmly greeted and all our questions were answered.

A long way through very narrow alleyways.

We love the traditional decor, the comfortable room, and the amazing views from the rooftop patio. Our host was kind and gracious. He picked us up from our parking lot, found a guide for us, gave us tips on how to walk through the medina, and negotiate with the shop keepers, and served us a delicious dinner and breakfast. The riad is clean, comfortable, warm, and very reasonably priced. We would highly recommend it!

The Dar Faracha is a beautiful house, made very comfortable for guests. But what makes really the difference is the host: Maroud is able to make you feel at home, giving all the necessary assistance you may have, tailored for your needs. His friendliness is highly appreciated together with his professionalism. And what to say about the very nice lady who takes care of the breakfast and dinner? She is an unbelievable cook and a lovely person: if you stay there, ask for a dinner; you will be surprised by the quality and the flavor of food, a very enjoyable journey in the Moroccan cuisine. We loved our staying at Dar Faracha and recommend it: next time in Fes we will surely return there.

Great manager and helpful staff.

The access to the property might test those that are broad in the shoulder (or otherwise broad), or are of a claustrophobic nature.

The one that makes a review +11 is the host, Mourad, who not only went out of his way with everything about the stay, but also shared information about customs and tips & tricks to find your way in the medina (like the shape of the street sign tiles; hexagon = dead end, square = pass through - no matter what the kids hanging around tells you). It is a riad in the medina, and as such it is fantastic. Yes - it is a maze to find it - but that's the medina, no matter if it is Fez or Marrakech.

All good!
