Guest Reviews

• Marco (10/5): - Abbiamo soggiornato in questo splendido Riad per tre notti e non potevamo essere più felici della scelta.. il palazzo si trova in una zona della medina silenziosa e tranquilla permettendo di godere della vicinanza ai servizi senza essere sopraffatti dal caos. La suite con terrazza è fantastica, spaziosa e pulita, colazione ricca e fresca, ma il vero plus è lo staff, gentile e disponibile come raramente puoi trovare. Grazie infinite per tutte le attenzioni che ci avete riservato. Nulla
• deborah (9/5): The male staff and location are great - The staff, Reeda and Hassan were amazing! Reeda helped us with whatever we needed, 24/7 and Hassan helped us navigate through the confusing medina walls. He always had a smile and was very gracious. Toilet was leaking but staff attended to it as best they could. We are healthy and agile, but if you are not, make sure your room is not 50+ steps at the top of the riad. That can be tiring!
• Ivana (8/5): -
• Steve (10/5): - Reda and the entire team there are excellent! Great breakfast. Amazing, historic building from 1153 AD with a stunning rooftop view of Fes Medina. شكرًا لك 🙏 Having to leave
• Larbi (8/5): -
• cecilou84 (8/5): Riad élégant un peu à l écart des zones hyper fréquentées - Riad très élégant un peu à l écart des zones hyper fréquentées. Accueil très discret. Chambre immense et très confortable, avec des décors superbes. Repas du soir très cher. (trop) Literie confortable. Très propre. Petit déjeuner correct. . Quelques odeurs de refoulement dans la salle de bain. Le WC est mal fixé et bouge quand on s assied.
• LUIS (10/5): Espectacular Riad con una atención del personal muy cuidada !! - El Riad es muy bonito, nuestra suite espectacular ! La amabilidad de Reda que nos atendió en todo con mucha dedicación y educación, incluso nos dio clases de historia sobre Fez. Sin Hassan no habriamos llegado a ningún sitio , fue un guía estupendo.. El día que llegamos nos recogió en el parking. La verdad es que a nuestros amigos y a nosotros nos gustó todo.
• robert (10/5): will stay again - Excellent food and a wide variety of choices. The welcome was efficient and very warm
• SHANWEI (9/5): 非常值得体验的传统摩洛哥住宅 - 这家酒店是一个建于12-13世纪的老宅，主人比较用心装饰的也挺不错的，态度也挺好，帅气的小伙子管家挺不错的，早餐也挺用心 惟一一点就是停车费，需要另外付5欧元，因为老城内无法开车，所以要步行六7分钟的样子
• Paul (10/5): Incroyable suite dans le style Riad de Fès. Mémorable ! - Une suite exceptionnelle ! Très belle, très spacieuse. L’impression d’être devenus des Fassis (habitants de Fès) si privilégiés. Le dîner sur la terrasse avec le coucher du soleil et le tres bon repas conjugue tout le plaisir de ce séjour dans ce Riad ! Et des gens adorables à l’image des Fassis. Pas de paiement possible sur place en CB.
• Iwona (10/5): Riad Fes Palacete was a wonderful place to stay in Fes. The suite with a terrace was spacious and comfortable, offering -
• Navè (9/5): - Clean and nice, very good breakfast, staff kind and always available
• Caroline (5/5): Sad, overpriced, in need of refurbishment - The view from the roof terrace. The bed was comfortable The whole place is unloved and sad. There is no attention to detail. It is greatly in need of refurbishment. It smells musty. The roof terrace is painted white. No shelter from the sun. The plants are dead. There is no thought for what guests would appreciate. The showerhead had so much limescale, it was like a strong tap hitting you. The price charged is 3x what it is worth. The guy on the front desk is very strange and not very welcoming
• Carolina (10/5): -
• judy (9/5): -
• sandra (10/5): Una experiencia inolvidable en un riad precioso, con un trato humano excepcional - He estado con mis hijos 3 días de esta Semana Santa. El Riad Fes Palacete es simplemente espectacular: un riad precioso, lleno de detalles, con una arquitectura tradicional cuidada al máximo que ha hecho que estos días hayan sido preciosos. A mis hijos han estado encantados. Pero lo mejor, sin duda, ha sido el trato recibido. Wadi, el responsable, ha sido excepcional: siempre atento, facilitador, cercano, nos ha aconsejado muy bien y dispuesto a ayudar en todo momento. Además, habla un español excelente, lo que hace todo mucho más fácil. Gracias a él, la experiencia ha sido aún mejor.
• Isabelle (8/5): Accueil dans le RIAD , Fez, le Maroc toujours magnifique - La disponibilité et la gentillesse de l’hôtesse. Première expérience de RIAD, c’est magnifique et dans chambre RDC manque de lumière extérieure
• enrico (9/5): -
• Mohammed (10/5): Stunning - The architecture is phenomenal! The breakfast was delightful.
• Hirokazu (10/5): - 伝統的な邸宅を利用したリアドで部屋と建物が大変美しい。エアコンが完備し、温かく過ごせた。特別に夕食をお願いし、大変豪華な内容で、美味しかった。スタッフも細やかな気遣いで心地よく過ごせた。雨が降っていて残念だったが、屋上からの眺めも素晴らしかった。 特になし。
• Haiko (10/5): Exquisit Riad with exceptional room. Very friendly owner and stuff. -
• Benichou (6/5): -
• Amy (10/5): It was an amazing experience in a beautiful Riad with wonderful people. - The property was gorgeous and just inside the Medina. It was very easy to get to all of the sights. Karima and her staff were amazing making sure that we had everything we needed and providing us with directions, restaurant and site seeing recommendations and arranging transportation for us. They are wonderful people and the property is gorgeous and the rooms are amazing! I highly recommend.
• ira (9/5): Beautiful and quiet, with terrific staff - Beautiful and immaculate Riad with exceptional staff. Quiet and peaceful location. Breakfast delicious, and the one meal we had in the Riad was delicious Bathroom facilities a bit basic, could upgrade to better toileteries, towels etc. Also we travelled during a particularly cold time and the bathroom was cold. I am guessing this is a very rare occurrence
• Valerie (1/5): Photos et publicité mensongère - Les garçons qui nous ont aidé pour les bagages étaient très polis et serviables. Annonce mensongère : Fabuleux ??? Somptueux ??? photos non-réalistes sur le site Booking, la cour est effectivement somptueuse mais pas un lieu de vie. Pas une chambre mais un débarras coincée entre deux couloirs, aucun meuble ne fonctionnait, tiroirs impossibles à fermer (petite commode), salon inutilisable, bureau inutilisable, coincé entre le mur et le frigo, base de coffre qui s'effondre, lit fait de planches bricolées, propreté des tapis douteuse, aucun crochet dans la salle de bain donc obligé de poser nos vêtements au sol, lit à 50 cm de la poubelle, fils électriques et boite WIFI qui clignote en permanence, WIFI inexistante, impossible de passer un appel Whatshapp entre les chambres. boite à mouchoirs pour la déco, même le verre de la salle de bain est ébréché. Vous aurez le choix entre une chambre glaciale ou la boite clim/chauffage qui souffle sur le visage toute la nuit. Nous étions en famille et étions séparés par 2 étages aux escaliers étroits, impossible de s'appeler d'une chambre à l'autre. Quant à l'autre chambre réservée, le lit n'est pas un Queen-size, mais un lit ordinaire ou il est difficile de dormir à deux. Aucun geste commercial pour la gêne subie, et un manager qui accuse Booking ou le client en lui disant que c'est cette chambre qu'il a réservé, oui sauf que les photos en ligne, enjolivent particulièrement la situation. En guise de "paiement sur place", la carte a été débitée bien avant notre arrivée sur Fes, d'un montant supérieur au tarif garanti et sans aucune mention de ce paiement pendant notre séjour par la manager, facture non-fournie. Petit-déjeuner correct sans plus par rapport aux autres Riads. mieux vaut se lever tôt pour avoir de la place sur une table qui ne peut recevoir tout le monde. le tout pour 4 200 Dirhams/2 nuits réservés trois mois à l'avance ?
• Sylvia (10/5): -
• Pietro (10/5): -
• Yu (8/5): For people who enjoy Riads or Dars - They have a heater in the bathroom which is good for winter days. Their dinner is generous and good value for money. Located in the middle of Medina and higher floor rooms have nice view of Medina. As with many Riads inside Medinas, as in Rabat and Tanger etc, guests need to manage getting their luggage to the hotel door from Medina gates. And getting up to and down from higher floor rooms. Not an easy thing in winter in rain in dark and in narrow lanes. Shower water flow is near miserable. This is an issue with many similar Riads in the country. Can be quite frustrating for guests. Water or energy saving should not victimise hotel guests.
• LIU (10/5): -
• Denise (10/5): We loved the Fez Palacete It was a unique place to experience Fez - The riad was beautiful! The rooms were very clean and decorated in a Moroccan style. The host was very helpful and communicative during our entire visit. The riad was a bit tricky to find inside the Medina but help was provided by the hotel to find our way
• Erica Elizabeth (9/5): -
• roberto (4/5): -
• Munir (8/5): Pleasant riad with good-natured staff - The staff is very helpful and friendly. The riad is lovely in its decor and traditional ambiance. It would be nice to have a breakfast buffet rather than serving all guests at the same time. The orange juice seemed to be from a carton rather than fresh squeezed, but the breakfast was nice overall. The location is a challenge for those who cannot walk long distances.
• Susana de Hoyos Maroto (9/5): Muy buena opción para descubrir Fez - La ubicación es estupenda en una zona muy tranquila dentro de la Medina pero a 10 minutos del centro y a 5 de algún restaurante. El trato de Karima y del personal ha sido excelente. El desayuno muy completo y rico e incluso el último día que nos fuimos a las 5 de la mañana para coger el avión de vuelta nos lo prepararon en un pic-nic para tomarlo en el aeropuerto. El edificio es muy bonito y las habitaciones están muy limpias. Hemos contratado a través del Riad el transfer al aeropuerto y una excursión a Meknes y Boluvilis y ha sido muy buena opción. Hay que tener en cuenta por si alguien tiene problemas de movilidad, que al ser un Riad hay que subir muchas escaleras para llegar a las habitaciones más altas.
• Udo (9/5): - Schönes Zimmer im Dachgeschoss mit herrlichem Blick auf die Medina
• Jacqueline (10/5): Geweldige ervaring. - Het gebouw is prachtig en authentiek. Hulp bij vinden parkeerplaats en dragen koffers. Ontbijt was pas om 9 uur mogelijk. We kregen wel een lunchpakketje mee.
• Patrizia Giuseppina (10/5): Tutto perfetto - L’accoglienza, l’ottima cena in terrazza, la colazione. L’organizzazione di trasferimento per visita a Volubilis, Meknès, Rabat , tramite Rachid , che è stato molto efficiente e disponibile.
• Karl (10/5): Un Riad majestueux - Chambre magnifique, Riad très accueillant. Nous avons tous aimé. Ras
• Pepijn (7/5): -
• LEONG (10/5): Outstanding local hospitality in stunning Riad - Quiet location yet within 10 mins walk to the medina- a peaceful, calm and soothing oasis in the midst of the chaotic daily life in the old city, the moment we stepped inside we felt all the tranquility and sense of serenity washing over us We stayed there over two spells - first 3 nights in Fes , then a 2 night stay in Chefchaouen and a final 2 night return stay in Fes First spell was in the room with balcony on the 4th floor with no elevator which is normal in these centuries old Riads, but it was a workout that we could have done without after a day of walking and exploring!
• Nicole (10/5): Grandiose - Tout était magnifique: l’accueil, la chambre, le dîner sur notre terrasse, l’emplacement dans la Médina. Grandiose! Le personnel extrêmement attentionné, un repas délicieux exprès pour nous, nous avons été enchantés Rien de négatif
• Machado (7/5): Staying at the Riad was a wonderful experience—authentic, welcoming, and well-situated. - the breakfast was great, the staff was helpful and courteous, the Riad was clean. The Location – The Riad is situated within the heart of the Medina, a fascinating yet intricate maze of narrow streets that can be quite challenging to navigate, especially for first-time visitors. With few visible landmarks and little street organization, finding your way around can easily become confusing. Fortunately, the staff was exceptionally kind and thoughtful—they arranged for someone to meet us at our tour drop-off point and personally guide us to the hotel, which was a great help and much appreciated (a tip is expected, of course). Staying inside the Medina offers an authentic and immersive cultural experience, allowing guests to witness the daily rhythm of local life up close. However, it’s worth noting that this environment (specifically in the Fes Medina) can be challenging for many outsiders. The bustling atmosphere, winding alleyways, and sensory overload might not appeal to everyone. For those seeking comfort and convenience over cultural immersion, a stay outside the Medina may be more suitable. But for travelers eager to embrace the true essence of the city, this location provides an unforgettable experience.
• LEONG (9/5): An oasis among the mayhem of the Medina! - Quiet location but within reasonable walking easy distance to Medina The climb up the stairs to get to the higher floors!
• Cinzia (7/5): Soggiorno piacevole. - La ns stanza era bella, grande e luminosa. Bagno grande, ben organizzato e incredibilmente dotato di bidet. Colazione abbondante e buona. Ci siamo appoggiati alla struttura sia per avere una guida in loco sia per organizzare i transfer e tutto e’ andato bene. In struttura parlano poco l’inglese e si percepisce una certa disorganizzazione a livello logistico-amministrativo, che ci ha creato qualche problema durante la permanenza in Riad.
• Diana Gu (10/5): -
• Ashkan (10/5): Immer wieder gern!!! - Wir haben die Suite mit der Terrasse gebucht – und dieses Zimmer war wirklich das absolute Highlight unseres Aufenthalts. Die Suite ist atemberaubend schön gestaltet, mit vielen liebevollen Details und einer tollen Atmosphäre. Von der Terrasse der Suite aber auch von der Dachterrasse ganz oben kann man den Sonnenaufgang über Fes beobachten. Das Riad selbst ist auch sehr stilvoll eingerichtet und beeindruckt durch seinen schönen Innenhof und das gelungene Gesamtkonzept. Besonders positiv aufgefallen sind uns die Menschen, die dort arbeiten: Alle waren außergewöhnlich freundlich, hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend. Man hat sich wirklich willkommen gefühlt. Das Frühstück war sehr üppig und lecker – im Vergleich zu anderen Riads, die wir besucht haben, wirklich überdurchschnittlich. Die Lage ist ebenfalls sehr gut: Mit dem Taxi kann man bis zu einem der zwei nahegelegenen Tore fahren und ist dann in wenigen Minuten zu Fuß am Riad. Es liegt in einem eher ruhigen und sehr gepflegten Teil der Medina. Auch die wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten sind nicht weit entfernt. Mir hat wirklich alles gefallen
• Clemens (7/5): Schöne Lage, gutes Frühstück, aber insgesamt leider schwierig zu finden und zu erreichen - Gutes, wichtig, Parkplatzsituation schlecht ohne freundlichen Führer 😉 Schwierig zu erreichen Parkplatzsituation, Anfahrtsbeschreibung, exotischß
• Melanie (9/5): Schönes Riad, freundlich! - Grosszügiges Frühstück, sehr freundliches Personal! Sehr schönes Riad, hatten sogar eine kleine Terrasse. Wäsche konnte ich Waschen lassen, das war toll! Die Lage ist nicht sehr zentral, man läuft sehr viel und braucht am Anfang einen Guide um sich zurecht zu finden.
• Michael (10/5): -
• ROBERT (7/5): -
• Aurelia (9/5): Très beau Riad - Riad typique très travaillé on ne sais où poser les yeux ! La chambre était magnifique avec une terrasse vue médina. Bon petit déjeuner et équipe au top! Rien
• Martina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Michelle (8/5): Very good - Beautiful Riad & excellent service! Occasionally noisy (from within), smelly bathroom.
• Stuart (8/5): Very good -
• Alena (10/5): Very beautiful - Our room felt like a palace or a museum of Moroccan architecture and design. The ceiling was stunning, and the room was spacious and comfortable. However, due to the traditional structure of the riad, it was a bit dark, as the windows face the internal courtyard. The hosts were friendly and polite. Our double bed was large and very comfortable. Both the riad and our room were exceptionally clean. It was also very quiet. The location is convenient—not in the center of the medina, but just about a 10-minute walk from it. The riad is also relatively close to the main medina parking area (about 7–10 minutes on foot). Breakfast (for additional charge) is offered in a room, which I as understood, is not enough to welcome all the guests if they want to eat at the same time. Also breakfast time was quite late (9 am). WiFi was available but was not very strong (interruptions during video calls).
• Lorenzo (10/5): Exceptional -
• Christine (8/5): A wonderful experience of Fez and its people. - The property was beautifully restored with significant attention given to every detail. The location of the property was just within the boarder of the Medina which made arrival and departure, as well as going beyond the Medina, easy as the Medina is large and complex. The service provided was impeccable from arrival when a staff member had to come and find us in the Medina, to departure where pick up from the property was arranged for us. Breakfast was all you could ask for and more. Our room was on the top floor with a balcony giving us a spectacular view over Fez. We chose our room because it offered the balcony but the trade off was a comfortable but compact room and bathroom. Thank you to Karina and Moohna for your care and for making us feel welcome. Nil
• Winston (10/5): Great stay experience - So good that we extended another night
• Winston (10/5): Perfect Stay Experience - This one is a wow factor property. When you walk in to the main courtyard and the rooms, it is amazing on the details of the decor. Highly recommend this place for anyone who wants a Moroccan experience. Nothing to dislike.
• Karen (9/5): overall, we were very happy with our stay here - it was very clean. Had a extremely nice and accommodating staff. our room was a little bit small and the beds were very hard
• Wajih (10/5): An amazing experience and one of the highlights of our trip - Everything about this location was incredible. The staff were very sweet and helpful as well as knowledgeable about Fez and its history. The fact that this Riad is built in one of the old palaces also makes it absolutely stunning inside. We were shocked at the amount of room and how much space we had. An incredible overall experience with so much help from the very sweet and hospitable staff. The breakfast was also delicious. Nothing! Only thing we had trouble with was navigating our way from our car into Fez
• Francesca (10/5): Wonderful - The property is amazing. It is an authentic location which maintains the taste of old times with raffinate flavour. The suite with terrace is magnificent , never seen something like that before. The staff is very kind and helpful, we spent three days with my family, and we had a wonderful experience. Highly recommended! The authenticity and the elegance
• Wai (9/5): Superb -
• Roy (10/5): Perfect Host Perfect Riad could not ask for anything more. - We had the pleasure of staying at the Palais Fez Riad for just 2 nights Our host Karima told us staying in a Riad should be like staying at your grandmothers house You should feel comfortable and welcomed and safe From the moment the driver Rashid met us at Fes airport (organised by Karima) after our early morning flight from london we felt safe He gently welcomed us to Fez and explained things to us. He stopped us outside the Medina (no cars in there) and casually walked us to our Riad where we were so enthusiastically welcomed by Karima Nothing was too much trouble -the Medina in Fez is chaotic and loud and bustling, our Riad was calm and gentle and homely The steps to the terrace gave us a wonderful view over the medina and the food a real pleasure It felt authentic and was so tasty the filling breakfast and the two dinners were so worth eating there and even the last day when we could not stay for breakfast we were sent with a lovely goody bag Karima even organised a car for the next part of our trip and contacted the driver once we had left Fez to check we were ok A great Riad as in location right in the Medina but more importantly a warm and friendly place that gave us a great start to our 1st trip to Morocco Thank you so much 🙏🏽 Nothing
• David (10/5): A gem in Fes - This is a truly special place, it is so beautifully done, the place feels like a palace, and yet so comfy and welcoming. The riad is absolutely stunning, so many beautiful little details and so much love has gone into making it what it is. It's a close (5 mins) walk to the centre of the medina, but so quiet at night. The other thing that makes this place so amazing is the people, Karima is an absolute star, she made me feel so at home and was a fountain of knowledge and advice about fes. She went out of her way to be the perfect host. Also, big shout out to Yaseen, who was an excellent tour guide, definitely ask for him if you book any tours. When I come back to fes, I'll be staying here again! Nothing, i loved it. Only thing to consider is that as it is a riad, no lift, so that might impact people, but I appreciated the work out!
• Andrew (9/5): Beautiful Building, Good Location - The building was beautiful. The location allowed for a great view from the roof terrace and was close enough to the main streets of the medina without being too close to the hustle and bustle. Karima was very attentive.
• Chiara (9/5): Breathtaking traditional riad in the old medina. - Wonderful Riad, full of art and beauty , few rooms, very welcoming hosts, excellent breakfast and dinner. If possible reserve one of the suites, they are breathtaking. Unfortunately they were not available during our stay, we got a modern room on the upper floor that you reach via steep stairs, but the advantage was that it has a balcony and it’s close to the rooftop terrace, and in the morning you can hear the children singing in the nearby school, it was a delight. Nothing
• Peter (10/5): I felt like a sultan … - A truly gorgeous historic Riad with genuine charm and helpful support staff from Fatima and Sanae. Excellent breakfast each day with a wide range of breads, fresh fruit, yoghurt, pastries, condiments, eggs and goats cheese. I genuinely felt like a sultan staying in the very large ornate deluxe room with my private balcony and from which I could sit and listen to Fes wake-up or retire. (Also has rooftop available to) Comfy bed, very clean room and bath. Large shuttered windows allowed good light control. I stayed in winter but never felt cold with good auto temp control in room. More could be done with the rooftop to make it a mingle space for guests.
• Karla (10/5): Exceptional -
• Randy (10/5): Great riad for Fes! - Beautiful riad with the kindest people and a great breakfast! We made friends with many of the other guests Nothing
• Evgeniya (10/5): Amazing - One of the most authentic places we have ever stayed! The room with two beds was incredibly spacious, and the beds were very comfortable. The showers were large with really hot water, and the heating through the air conditioning worked perfectly—even in December. The location was perfect—peaceful and away from the crowds, yet just a short walk to everything. You won't need a car during your stay. Staying here felt like living in a palace that belonged to a single family, with stunning interiors that truly capture the essence of a historic home. The atmosphere was magical, and we felt transported in time. Karima, the host, was absolutely wonderful! She assisted us with everything, from booking a hammam to arranging transportation to the train station. Her warm hospitality made our stay even more special. Don’t miss the terrace upstairs—it offers a breathtaking view that makes it the perfect spot to relax and soak in the beauty of Fez. I highly recommend Fez and Riad Fes Palacete for its unique charm and unforgettable experiences. This place is a gem! The breakfast was good, but we’d love to see even more variety. Adding options like omelets or different styles of eggs, along with for example avocado, could take it from great to perfect!
• Bart (9/5): Simply wonderful. The junior suite was huge and beautiful - Historic building, original details. Edge of Medina so still able to get close and park a car. Short walk to the centre. Staff were lovely and go the extra mile, even lugging the entire very extensive breakfast to the roof terrace one morning where the view of Fes is magnificent
• Doug (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful place to stay on the edge of the Medina. Gorgeous old home with truly amazing design details. Stunning rooms. Amazing staff -- very friendly and helpful. Karima helped us a great deal, both in Fez, and in Chefchaouen, where the owners have another guest house. Excellent breakfast. Quiet room. Very spacious and comfortable. Great view from the rooftop terrace looking out over the Medina. A very special place.
• Thierry (10/5): We felt like kings in this amazing riad which is extreme well run - Amazing historical riad located on the edge of Medina with incredible view from rooftop. The staff went out of his way to make us feel at home. Special thanks go to Sanae who arranged our airport pickup in spite of late arrival time (2am) and supervised our whole stay from delicious Moroccan breakfasts to finding our tour guide (the incomparable Adnan) to organising an amazing couscous dinner on our last evening. Perfect stay, not a single faux pas The shower pressure could be a bit stronger but all in all we loved everything about the property
• Mariia (10/5): The King's palace - We spent two days at the hotel and booked a room with a balcony and two beds. The hotel is superb: everything is clean and well-maintained. I want to specifically highlight the interior — it is magnificent: mosaics, high ceilings, Moroccan lamps. If you want to spend time surrounded by exquisite oriental interiors, this is the place for you. The hotel is located near several restaurants and not far from a road where you can catch a taxi to visit local attractions. However, you might not even need a restaurant because the hostess cooks exceptionally well. We highly recommend trying her dinner — it's wonderful. An entire post could be dedicated to the hostess herself, her hospitality, and culinary skills. Here, I will just note her erudition, progressive outlook on the world, and her ability to create a pleasant and friendly atmosphere for enjoyable conversations and time spent. Among the pleasant additions are the options to order a transfer, access to the rooftop, and the possibility to arrange accommodations with other hotel owners in different cities. I definitely recommend this hotel.
• Debra (8/5): I would recommend it but buy your own water, wine, snacks. - Lovely riad with very friendly staff. We were surprised by the final bill where every cup of tea and bottle of water were marked up. Thirty euros for a bottle of wine?
• Petra (10/5): Amazing experience! - Our stay at this riad was absolutely best in Marroco, the riad is beaufitul, staff is welcoming and attentative. We had amazing dinner and enjoyed our calm and peaceful evening.
• Kimberly (10/5): Riad Fes Palacete was a Palace at one time. It is the most beautiful place I have ever stayed and the service was impecc - This was the most beautiful place I have ever stayed. I have traveled a lot all over the world and nothing comes close to this Riad. It was a palace at one time and the owners have restored it in all its grandeur. The owners went out of their way to make sure our stay was perfect and lined up a tour guide, taxi etc. Every detail was perfect.
• Andre (10/5): Excellent place to stay in Fes - Wonderful location. Beautiful views from the top Spectacular rooms Breakfast could be a bit earlier …
• William (10/5): Fantastic stay in an old Fez house. - Host was charming and fantastic. They really cared about you to make sure you have a wonderful stay in their hotel and city. The room was beyond expectations.
• Pinelopi (10/5): A unique historical riad in the heart of Fes - How can I describe this amazing riad. It’s like living in a museum. A beautiful historical place located in the ancient Medina with every room having a completely unique atmosphere. The riad it self is located in a very quiet street but at the same time so close to the busy market. We had a beautiful spacious room at the 4th floor with panoramic view of the city of Fes, with all the amenities. The delicious breakfast is a hole experience served at the common space of the riad. Carrima, the hostess is a fantastic joyful and energetic woman and help us in every need we had including organize for our wedding anniversary a magnificent traditional and very romantic dinner at the rooftop. I hope one day to be able to return in this amazing place!
• Peter (10/5): Quite extraordinary - An extraordinary building. An amazing palace restored to a very high standard. The staff were wonderful. We felt special staying in this remarkable building being looked after by lovely staff. Nothing
• Isabelle (10/5): memorable beauty - The Riad was really exceptional and nothing could prepare us for the beauty of our room with the colour-full tiles, the carved plaster, the painted ceiling, the most friendly welcome and the generous breakfast. Thank you so much for making our stay with you so memorable. nothing, everything was perfect.
• Michael (10/5): Exceptional - Outstanding 14th century architecture in good condition for its age. Beautiful room with hand carved and painted ornate ceiling, fine carved plasterwork and original tiling. Better than the photos indicate. Modern good quality amenites. Good breakfast and location in the medina. All good.
• Rita (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful traditional Riad. Very friendly and helpful staff always supporting the guests' needs. Convenient secure parking in close walking distance. Would definitely stay there again.
• Ionel (9/5): Superb -
• Tom (10/5): Luxurious, fabulous views, outstanding hospitality - The Riad was truly palatial, the photos did not do it justice. The entrance hall was inspirational and then our room was even better. Grand, spacious, comfortable. sanae was a wonderful manager and looked after us personally throughout our stay. Nothing
• Sarah (10/5): A beautiful serene space with the old Medina. - A beautiful haven within the noise and bustle of Fes. We loved the room with the terrace.
• Jaemie (9/5): Beautiful Riad, far from the action. - We loved the size and authenticity of this Riad. The rooms are huge and gorgeous. They offer a large fruit bowl in the rooms and a mini bar. The staff are welcoming and helpful. I like how they are able to provide transfers to and from the airport or train station. The location is far from the action.
• Ovais (9/5): Superb - It was a good location, close to everything. The service was wonderful. Wadi and Mohamed were very helpful. The home cooked breakfast was nice. There is a room for improvement in everything, but I can't think of just pick one thing. The only issue we had was the long and steep walk from the gate. It should be mentioned in the property description, and someone should be sent to the entrance to help with the luggage.
• Stephen (10/5): This is an amazing riad with an excellent and helpful staff. - This is an amazing place with history and beauty. The staff went above and beyond in meeting my needs, answering questions, helping with directions, making reservations for tours. The breakfast was typical Moroccan with a lot of choices. They helped with some personal needs I had during my stay, which was so helpful. I can't say enough about their professionalism and kindness. I will definitely book here again when I return. I was happy with everything. I was treated like a king. I had no negative experience. I hope to return and reconnect with Fes and the wonderful staff.
• Susan (10/5): Excellent stay, would recommend this place - Beautiful riad, and a wonderful room. Breakfast was nice The double bed is a little small for the size of the room
• Kamoshida (9/5): Wonderful experience in the heart of Fes - In the heart of the Fes medina, an authentic Riad with a lot of charm, careful & pleasant host, good breakfast & dinner, exceptional room. We really appreciated.
• Maribeth (10/5): The staff took such wonderful care, from making local arrangements, preparing delicious meals, to coordinating a taxi &a - The riad is gorgeous…Very high Ceilings, beautiful blue & white tile!
• George (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jack (9/5): Superb - Location, staff, beautifully restored Wifi wasn't great
• Sheryl (9/5): Lovely stay in the old Medina - The decor is lovely and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. Lots of nice touches like a bowl of fresh fruit in our room. Breakfast each day was freshly prepared and we had a wonderful authentic Moroccan dinner there one night as well. The host is very friendly and accommodating and speaks multiple languages fluently. We did not realize we needed to pay in cash - it was not a problem but would be better to know ahead of time to be more prepared.
• Chris (10/5): Honeymoon Heaven - Like the name implies, it is a PALACE! Ancient regal architecture, mosaic tilework, carved plaster, and located in the old Medina. Our room had canopy beds, a patio overlooking the city, access to the rooftop where we could sip wine under a full moon. The staff was friendly and attentive and supplied us with our youthful guide Yousef,who easily took us throughout the most complicated maze of a city I have yet journeyed. We were lucky to have had breakfast and dinner at the Fes Palacete because it was the same as going to a multi-star restaurant. Many times my wife and i would look at each other in disbelief that we could stay in such a wonderful place.. We are both grateful for memories we can share for the rest of our lives. I did not like that I only booked this place for two nights. We could have stayed for three weeks!
• Edward (10/5): Choose the suite with the terrace to stay at an actual palace - This Riad was the most memorable event of our stay in Fez. We reserved a suite with a terrace, what we received was a literal palace that we had all to ourselves. The Riad dates back to 1363 and took 11 years to rebuild to its current Andalusian style palace. I have travelled extensively worldwide, but I never stayed in a palace. The location is a bit tricky, but it is well worth the experience. The staff was helpful in organizing transfers and guides and really stepped up to check on me when I was ill and bedridden for a day. The location is tricky, but if you use guides it is not an issue
• Sharon (9/5): Superb -
