Guest Reviews
- giampaolo mangialardo (10/5): - Accoglienza ed assistenza, terrazza bellissima, buona colazione ed ottima cena
- Vincent (9/5): Très bel endroit dans la Médina. Beaucoup de cachet et magnifique vue de la terrasse. - Très bien situé dans la Médina. Très bon service et de judicieux conseils. Petit déjeuner en terrasse très bien l'odeur dans la douche.
- Berta (10/5): El millor Riad de Fes - El allotjament era precios. Esta a molt ben cuidat i net. El propietari ens va rebre i ens va tractar molt be. Ens va explicar algunes dades sobre el Riad i sobre l ciutat. Tambe ens va oferir un esmorzar que estaba increible i vam decidir sopar alla. Un dels millors menjars marroquis que vam probar en tot el viatge.
- Benjamin (10/5): - Tout d'abord, l'accueil d Amine a été exceptionnel (m a accueilli et ramené jusqu'au taxi avec un sac de provisions pour mon depart de bonne heure), emplacement en plein centre de la Médina, terrasse délicieuse tout autant que la cuisine de Rada.
Choukrane. Rien
- Kai (10/5): -
- Andrea (9/5): -
- Christophe (9/5): - Très bon accueil et conseils d’Amine Petit déjeuner copieux et possibilité sur réservation de dîner sur la terrasse du Riad. Félicitations à la cuisinière
- Oussama (10/5): Calidad precio excelente y muy buen trato - Muy cerca de todo, muy buena relacion calidad precio y muy amable el personal
- Constanza Paz Sotomayor (9/5): Relaxed stay in the medina of Fez - What I liked the most was Amine's friendliness. Always with a willingness to help you with what you need. On the other hand, the location of the Riad, very close to the Rcif square where there are taxis to move you for example to the bus station which is in the new city. Also very close to the Hammam Ben Abbad. Breakfast on the terrace with nice views. I will definitely stay here again on my next visit to Fez! There was a bit of pressure missing for the hot water in the shower.
- Constanza Paz Sotomayor (9/5): Comfortable stay in Fes - Marwa's room was clean, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The kindness of Amine who went to pick us up at Rcif Square after coming with the transfer from the airport, who he himself managed for us. Best of all, we were able to enjoy a delicious breakfast on the terrace after our arrival. Thank you for the good service 😊 The room needs to be ventilated all the time, as there is a musty smell that comes mainly from the bathroom. The rest is fine.
- Melanie (8/5): Wir hatten das Zimmer mit sehr niedrigen Decken. Die anderen Uimmer waren höher und an sich ist das Riad total schön. -
- Ibrahim (9/5): -
- Benichou (7/5): - Personnel ( Amine) très serviable et sympathique. Petit déjeuner copieux. Terrasse agréable. Bien situé. Les portes de la chambre sont vitrées. Il y a bien un rideau qui empêche d'être vu, mais donne une impression de manque de privacite et peu d'isolation sonore. Malheureusement, nos voisins étaient bruyants.
- Serena (10/5): - Bellissimo Dar nel cuore della Medina. L'host Amine è stato eccezionale nel prendersi cura di noi, sin già prima di partire organizzandoci tutto. Il Dar è molto accogliente, bellissimo stile marocchino, stanza pulita, aveva tutto il necessario. Noi eravamo in due in una tripla per cui stavamo bene anche come spazi. Abbiamo cenato due volte al Dar perché la cuoca è strepitosa e con un prezzo ottimo abbiamo gustato il miogior tajine provato sinora nei nostri viaggi in Marocco, soprattutto quello al pollo e limone. Colazione molto abbondante, tutto homemade di eccellente qualità. Punto forte la terrazza da cui si gode una bellissima vista sia al mattino che alla sera. Il Dar si trova letteralmente nel ventre della Medina e l'esperienza è unica. Poiché il venerdì è tutt' chiuso per giorno di preghiera Amine è stato bravissimo a proporci le attività alternative e ad organizzare tutto. Siamo stati benissimo qui, consigliamo vivamente e torneremmo volentieri. Nulla
- naomi (9/5): -
- Richard (9/5): Nice riad in good location with top class host. - We stayed three nights at this riad on recommendation. Excellent location in the medina of Fes. Amine the manager is so nice! Very hospitable and helpful, with lots of good suggestions. We also had a dinner there which was excellent. The view from the "terrasse" is great and it's a lovely spot to relax and chill. Would definitely stay there again. Room was a touch cramped.
- Danila (7/5): - Il Dar è in un palazzo del 1700 con gli infissi originali.
Amine è stato gentilissimo. Colazione genuina e abbondante. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Camere molto piccole e bagni non proprio confortevoli.
- Sandrine (10/5): - L'emplacement est parfait : au milieu de la Médina à deux pas de la place Rcif ce qui permet de se repérer plus facilement.
L'architecture et la décoration de la maison sont typiques et la terrasse est exceptionnelle.
La cuisine de Rada est excellente. Les conseils d'Amine et son aide pour l'organisation sont précieux pour un séjour réussi.
Je vous conseille cet hébergement.
- Philippe (9/5): Un dar plein de charme idéalement situé pour visiter le Fes historique. - La situation centrale, l'accueil et les bons conseils d'Amine, la décoration du Dar, le copieux petit déjeuner servi sur la terrasse.
Nous avons également dîné un soir , les plats étaient excellents et bien plus savoureux que ceux servis dans la médina. Un peu difficile à trouvé dans la médina, chambres un peu exigües.
- Francesco (9/5): -
- giorgia (9/5): Very nice stay in the hearth of medina - The riad is very nice, in the hearth of medina and with a very nice terrace. breakfast was excellent and staff very helpful. Room was big and clean You cannot pay by card
- Cristina Mariano (10/5): - Nos gustó todo, ubicación muy buena riad muy acogedor como estar en familia . El anfitrión excepcional nos ayudo y nos aconsejo en todo el incluso nos acompaño a coger los taxis .... súper recomendable .... y no dejéis de probar su cocina ,comida exquisita... repetiremos sin duda
- yann (10/5): - L hébergement est très bien placé pour pouvoir visiter Fes .
La nourriture y est très bonne .
Amine nous a très bien accueilli et a été de bon conseil . Rien
- Anne-Sophie (8/5): -
- Miguel (8/5): - The terrace is really nice for breakfast and the host is really knowledgeable about the area and picked us up from the entrance of the Medina. Recommended
- emanuele (9/5): Grazie!! - Ottima colazione, Terrazza e Posizione comoda rispetto all'ingresso della Medina. Il proprietario è stato super disponibile e ci ha dato consigli giusti. Ci tornerei sicuramente. È andato tutto bene, ma segnalo per chi soffre di claustrofobia e ambienti chiusi che la nostra stanza era senza finestre; consiglio di chiedere in fase di prenotazione se la stanza sia provvista di finestre.
- Junhyeok (10/5): -
- Ramzes (10/5): -
- Marina (9/5): - Terrace has nice view, good breakfast. The stuff was friendly and helpful. There was a heating in the room and all amenities. If you want to stay in Old Medina it's a good place. We had room downstairs and it wasn't very comfortable for us. The room is very small and dark, without window. The shower drain didn't work well. There was no parking, need to park the car in 20 minutes from medina. Location is good if you want to stay in Medina, but we would prefer to stay in new part of the city.
- Mélina (10/5): -
- Roman (10/5): -
- Abhinav (10/5): Amazing hospitality in the midst of the Fez Madina - We had an exceptional stay during our holiday. The host was gracious, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we arrived. Their hospitality went above and beyond, from thoughtfully arranging our airport transfer to personally accompanying us to the taxi stand on departure. Each breakfast was delicious and beautifully prepared, while the homemade Moroccan dinner was a particular highlight of our stay. The terrace, with its stunning view over the FES Medina, added a truly memorable touch. Altogether, it was a warm and elegant experience that we would highly recommend. Nothing
- Nicola (10/5): Esperienza top - Il riad é molto bello e ci siamo sentiti accolti come se fossimo a casa. Il gestore del riad é gentile e si é reso disponibile per organizzarci il trasporto per Chefchaouen. La colazione nella terrazza é ottima, abbondante e con una vista impagabile. Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. Lo consigliamo vivamente.
- Thomas (8/5): -
- Ruben (9/5): Excellent 2-days stay at Chrif Idrissi - Excellent 2-days stay at Chrif Idrissi. Location is next to Place Rcif, from which you can get a taxi or be dropped-off. Their terrace is a big plus.
Amine, the manager, cares and helps you so much. He has successfully fulfilled every request or question made. He is a big part of the great experience in this Dar.
Included breakfast is abundant and very well chosen & cooked. We got a great experience there and I'd repeat. All I can say is:
· Rooms could feel a bit small
· Sometimes at night it's noisy outside. Make sure to bring your earplugs for better rest. :)
- Margaux (10/5): Super ! - Tout ! Amine est très gentil et serviable. Il nous a très bien accueilli! La chambre est bien équipée et le Riad est super bien placé. Ras
- Laura (10/5): -
- Pablo (10/5): - El sitio es muy acogedor.
El precio excelente.
El orden , la comodidad , el servicio , la atención , la limpieza , el desayuno , y por sobre todo la simpatía y disponibilidad de Amine , verdaderamente destacables.
Volvería en cada visita a Fez.
Recomendable al 1.000%
No lo dudes , no busques más , ésta es tu mejor opción.
The place is very welcoming.
The price is excellent.
The tidiness, comfort, service, attention, cleanliness, breakfast, and above all, Amine's friendliness and helpfulness, are truly outstanding.
I would return every time I visit Fez.
1000% recommended. Don't hesitate, look no further, this is your best option.
- Mark (10/5): -
- Nina (10/5): - Amin was perfect host. He was very helpful and thoughtful. He even helped us organize transport when arriving to Fez. He wellcomed us and show us the way to riad. Helped us with lot of other things and gave us good tips for walking around medina.
We definitely recommend you to pick him for your host!
- nebout (10/5): - La situation dans la médina est parfaite pour rayonner alentour. L'accueil est parfait et plein d'attentions, le personnel est exceptionnel, souriant et Amine saura être une ressource pour faire de sa ville une super expérience ( mention spéciale pour les délicieux tajines mijotés maison). Le confort est suffisant et le rapport qualité prix excellent= La literie est confortable, la terrasse surplombe Fès, et fait oublier les nombreuses marches pour accéder au panorama et à l'établissement ( qui vont avec l'architecture des Dar et de la ville) C'est donc un excellent choix pour découvrir la ville en étant au coeur de son activité. Merci pour ce séjour, pour la disponibilité et la gentillesse. Rien
- Ignacio MJ (10/5): Tremenda experiencia - El anfitrión siempre disponible para todo. La comida espectacular
- Ward (10/5): -
- JON (10/5): -
- Samiul (10/5): The best in Fes - Everything was superb! Aminé is a great host and will spend the time to help you with anything such as where to buy a sim card.
Breakfast was excellent with a good selection of breads, egg, jams, coffee, mint tea and orange juice with a terrace view of the city.
Location was perfect and not a far walk from car drop off point. Porters can help with luggage for a small cost.
Bed was very comfortable and supportive.
Travel cot was provided which worked well but bed was wide enough to bring baby into bed if required at times.
Highly recommend them to cook you dinner! For an extra cost we experienced fresh home-cooked meals with salad and fruit. We got to experience proper local food from chicken to fish, which all tasted better than anything we tried before at restaurants. We enjoyed this so much that we had dinner at the riad every night. The room was quite small compared to similar triple rooms at other riads. With a baby cot in the room also, we only had just enough space to open suitcases.
The host could replace the light bulbs with a higher output. Even with all lights on in the room, we could just about make out things in our suitcases.
- mame aichatou (10/5): - C’est un hôte très gentil et disponible
- isabel (10/5): Alojamiento de ensueño - Ubicación, limpieza y la atención ...super desayuno con vistas Me gustó todo
- Viola (9/5): - Struttura accogliente e posizione ottima nel centro della medina.
La gentilezza e disponibilità dell'host hanno reso il soggiorno ancora più piacevole.
Il punto forte della struttura: una bella terrazza con vista sulla città in cui passare la serata/fare colazione.
- Daniel (10/5): -
- Simon (10/5): Perfect - Very friendly owner, told us anything about the city and wat hed for our luggage the next day when we checked out and visited the city till noon Beautiful rooftop, good AC, delicious breakfast!
- Hunor (10/5): - Everything was just PERFECT! Beautiful house, great owner who knows A LOT about the history of Fez. Gave us great tips and advices for our tour in Fez. He really cared about us. The lady was very friendly and nice too. She made for us amazing Moroccan breakfast every day. Definately one of the best accomodation in whole Morocco (we were also in Tangier, Casablanca, Marrakesh, Agadir). One more plus, this is a small place, not a hotel with people coming-going all day.
- Federica (9/5): Host molto disponibile - L’host è stato molto gentile e ci ha dato buoni consigli. Il Riad è ben arredato ed ha una bella terrazza con vista sulla Medina La stanza era molto piccola e in bagno c’era un odore terribile di canfora disinfettante
- Ballesteros Herrera (10/5): Excellent!!! - We were amazed by the things one can do in Fes, we were not expecting that such a nice city isn’t that visited as Marrakech or others parts of Morocco, but it is true that we need to give special thanks to our hosts of Riad Dar Chrif Idrissi, definitely without them our stay in Fes wouldn’t have been as charming as it was, they recommend the best places to see inside and outside the Medina, and they even help us to arrange a personal tour, also they gave us the best advices for food (Fes’s pastilla 10/10). The service was very very amazing we had some troubles moving around the Medina, we got lost one day, and they help us quickly and without inconveniences to find our way back. The views from the terrace to the Medina are along the hospitality of our hosts the most notable feature of the Riad. If you are looking for a trip full with Moroccan culture, but without losing some commodities then this is the perfect option. Thanks a lot Amine.
- ana gloria (10/5): Excelente trato - Genial el trato nos han ayudado y asesorado en todo para disfrutar de Fez y excelentes desayunos muy buenos y abundantes
- Barbara (10/5): -
- Jana (10/5): Perfect! Would recommend!! -
- Gemma (10/5): Exceptional - Host is so friendly and welcoming, lovely clean rooms, towel provided and good aircon!
- Mohamed (9/5): Superb -
- Maddalena (10/5): Simply amazing - Abdennabi, the host was extremely kind and helpful. He went extra mile to make my stay comfortable. Everything was amazing.
- Iman (10/5): Exceptional - Abdennabi was an amazing host, he helped us plan our short trip around Fes and went over and above to make us feel welcome and help us in any difficulties. The morning traditional Moroccan breakfast on the terrace had an amazing view. The room is nice but doesn't have any natural light
- Carmen (10/5): Amazing staff made our stay in Fes perfect - Our stay at the Dar Chris Iddrissi in the Fes Old Medina had accomodations with a special charm. The breakfast was always great and the service provided by Abbedani had no equal. We always felt like more than guests and knew that he would always help. Anything or anyone we needed, he made it happen. His abilities and hospitallity made our stay perfect.
- Giovanni (9/5): Excellent stay, great location, kind host and uhtnehric Riad for a modest, comfortable stay. - Incredible location ! Great host and authentic riad. Loved the roof of the riad ! Not much besides the small size of the room, and perhaps also the noisiness at night ( we were sleeping next to a family )
- Diogoofj (10/5): Exceptional - I've traveled to a lot of countries and I can say Adbenabi is the best host I ever had!
He was amazing helping us in every situation. I can not reccomend him enough!
Also, his place has a beautiful terrace where you can have breakfast and is located in the old Medina so very convinient to visit.
Fes is a beautiful City and one feels like its in a medieval town when visiting. As the place is near a mosque there is some loud noise around 4.45am for around 15min. This is something that you get in all muslim countries specially in the old medinas so it was expected but needed to point out in case you are a light sleeper.
- Yaşar (10/5): Exceptional - The location is wonderful. The host took very good care of us. They were always with us in every matter. A traditional and perfect place to stay. You can stay with peace of mind.
- Lluvia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sophia (10/5): Exceptional - Abi was so incredibly kind and helpful. He really went the extra mile on every level, including personally escorting us to the riad at 1am and walking us to and from dinners. If you are a light sleeper, the walls are not thick - but easily solved with ear plugs.
- Danielle (9/5): Superb -
- Paula (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mahrus (10/5): Feels like home - I loved that this place strikes the perfect balance between a hotel and an Airbnb. I felt incredibly welcomed and comfortable in this beautiful house, which is conveniently located within walking distance of all the main attractions in the Medina.
What truly made my stay unforgettable, however, was the hospitality of the hotel manager, Abdenabi. He was exceptionally kind and helpful throughout my visit, going above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed.
If you’re looking for an authentic, traditional experience with a personal touch, I can’t recommend this place enough. Nothing. But just keep in mind this is a guesthouse more than a hotel so adjust your expectations when booking.
- Drybeanz (10/5): Exceptional - Abdenabi, the hotel owner, was extremely nice to me on arrival and helped me plan out my day and ensure I could find the places I wanted to visit while visiting other stores where you could get certain items for cheaper. he was also lovely to talk to and speaks very good English.
- Marco (10/5): Courtesy and care beyond expectations - Dar Chrif Idrissi is located inside the Medina, but not too far from the Medina gate, so it is convenient to come there by taxi, and you just have to walk a little bit to reach the house.
Abdennabi, the host, was nice and helpful beyond expectations. He speaks good English, he ensures your stay is comfortable, he helps with local food, guided tours or any other need you might have.
We were pleased to stay in Dar Chrif Idrissi and we recommend this place.
- Reallyonthemove (10/5): Exceptional - I would highly recommend this lovely house. My partner and I were looked after with such warm hospitality and were made to feel completely at home. The location is ideal- very close to everything without being on a super touristy street. There's a lovely hammam right around the corner, lots of food and produce stalls nearby (with access to the kitchen, we were able to pick up bits to cook for ourselves when we didn't feel like dining out), and it's a pleasant stroll to the main shopping streets. The breakfast, made by a really lovely woman, is delicious, and was served on the roof terrace with amazing views.
- Maria (9/5): The host is the best thing you can encounter in the city of Fes - Very nice rooftop and the breakfast was amazing! We had common spaces and the room was big enough. It has many stairs and the water pressure was not good in the toilet
- Kameliya (9/5): Exceptional host! Thank you heartily! Hotel is clean, comfortable, beautiful, quite, safe! - I use this as a way to thank the host! He was exceptionally welcoming and caring! I arrived and left sick, but he took care of me the whole time. Checking on me if I was ok, If I needed anything. He bought me special food and drinks which I needed at the time and he didn't want to take any reimbursement of even a tip for it. He offered to cook dinner for me and to show me how to cook a traditional tangine. As the hotel is not so easy to find, he came to pick me up from a place nearby 2 times. He also told me some history and information about Fes, and thought me a few words in Arabic.
As a woman travelling alone, I felt very safe and comfortable here (not a given in the country).
My room was comfortable, quite, with clean sheets and towels, and had a radiator which I could use to heat up the room. The hotel is beautiful, has a very nice roof terrace on the top. Internet could be better, but it worked.
- Anca (10/5): Excellent position and helpful and friendly manager. - Very good location, clean and warm.
The manager was very helpful and friendly, done more than expected.
It was good value for money. Nothing stands up as negative
- Dhyana (10/5): Exceptional - Abdul is very helpful to ensure everything we need is fulfilled. He provided the meeting point and picked us up and escorted us to the riadh. He was fast response. He helped us with hot water for us to make cup noodles. He helped us arrange transportation the next morning as we had to go to the bus station early in the morning. The facility is worth the price, it is a small room but still convenient even though we had two pieces of luggage and two backpacks. The room is rather warm although winter. The bed is convenient, the bathroom is also convenient, a towel is provided, but bring your own toiletries. None.
- Q (10/5): Great property and super helpful host. - Great location, market is right outside the door. Nice sweet decoration details throughout the property. Most importantly, the manager Abdennabi is a great man, his service started from days before arrival. He picked me up from the nearest bank where my driver found it easily and he helped me with my luggage to the room. He even arranged takeaways for dinner as it was late. He provided travel information and sent warm messages after I left. No
- Václava (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ridvan (10/5): Beautiful riad with amazing hosts!! - Beautiful interior. Great rooftop terrace with views above the entire medina.
Amazing host who went out of his way to make sure i was well taken care of. Almost like having your private in house butler 😁 For inexperienced travelers, at first arrival, it may be challenging to find the place. But the host will guide you, even personally come to pick you up and walk you to the riad.
- Camille (10/5): Exceptional -
- Wolff_man (10/5): Nice Riad with a good location - This Riad is inside the medina so the location is perfect. The host is nice and helpful. From the train station/airport you would arrive at Place RCIF because the cars can't go inside the medina from where the host will pick you up. Just like everything else in Fes medina, its impossible to find it yourself so don't try - thats part of the fun in Fes Medina!
For the price (26 Euros) for the night, its definitely worth it. They have a terrace with views of the city.
Pro tip: If you want to experience a stay in Riad, you should definitely go for it but otherwise its narrow, steep stairs so it was a struggle with luggage and if you have any mobility issues, a Riad is not for you. Most of the rooms don't have any windows either so it can feel claustrophobic. Its not just this Riad but any.
- Henrietta (10/5): Wonderful - Abdennabi met us at the place where we arrived by taxi. Which was extremely helpful to easily find the way to the hotel.
The riad was steeped in charm and character.
Abdennabi was helpful in guiding us through the labyrinth of the bazaar. He shared his knowledge and was always ready to help out and point us to some nice places to visit. He definitely made our stay more pleasant.
On the last day he offered to help us to get on a taxi to the busstation.
We had a lovely stay in Fes.
- Fabiana (10/5): Exceptional - Dar Chrif Idrissi is a pearl in the medina of fez, in the very proper centre. It has an amazing terrace with the view of the city. The host, Abdenabbi, toke care of us in a special way, he shown us where to have a real morrocan dinner, where to buy souvenirs ecc. thank you Abdenabbi, you helped us to enjoy Fes.
- Madeleine (10/5): An amazing place to stay in the heart of the Medina - My family loved our stay. Abdul was a gracious host, who helped us with our stay and our ongoing travel. The facilities were all great but the rooftop terrace was our favourite part. Everything was great
- Achraf (10/5): Best place in the medina - I liked staying at dar chrif idrissi it was like staying in an art museum but a one that is rich of fes culture from very different aspects.
I also liked how we been treated by our hosts especially mr. Abdennabi who was very attentive to our feedback and demands and very educative in terms of fes historical aspects, He even gave us a very detailed map of the old city of fes and with his guidance we were able to cover all the main spots in Medina. I don't if it my sensitive allergy towards dust or I just caught a cold but every time i get to my bedroom I always start sneezing, nevertheless the place was very clean and spotless.
My roommates complained to the host about the wifi's connection being poor, the host clarified that all the surrounding area suffers from the same problem, I used my personal data so it wasn't a big deal for me.

From the moment I arrived, Abdullah’s warmth and hospitality were evident. He went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was comfortable and enjoyable.
The apartment itself was spotless, well-equipped, and beautifully decorated. It truly felt like a home away from home. Abdullah was always available to answer any questions and provide helpful recommendations about the local area, making my stay even more enjoyable.
Abdullah’s kindness and attention to detail are unparalleled. I wholeheartedly recommend his apartment to anyone looking for a wonderful place to stay. Thank you, Abdullah, for an unforgettable experience. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors!

- Tinatin (10/5): Exceptional - We have enjoyed our stay at Dar Chrif Idrissi. Its located in the heart of Medina. The rooms are small but clean. Terrace has wonderful view. Breakfast is amazing!
We want to thank our host again, for his wonderful help and guidance. Upon arrival, he met us, helped with luggage and guided us through Medinas labirynths. Without his help we would have been lost. He was also very kind to provide all information about the city and restaurants.
We had to leave to the airport at 3AM, he organized the travel, helped us with the luggage again and took us to the driver. It was very much appreciated and again, without him we would have totally been lost. (Medina is not safe during the day, imagine at night hours!!!) thank you very much and we would absolutely return again!
