Guest Reviews
- stephanie (9/5): -
- Jean-Marie (9/5): -
- Cécile (7/5): Joli Dar bien placé avec quelques points d’attention - L’emplacement, le style même si ce n’est pas un Riad mais un Dar Les odeurs d’égouts émanant de la salle de bain très étroite au niveau du lavabo : difficile de bouger face au miroir. L’insonorisation des chambres inexistante.
Les conseils sur les excursions sont incorrects et surtout les excursions sont tarifées le double de ce qui est proposés sur Get your guide par exemple. On nous a chargé le paiement par CB de 5% pour des frais de banque marocaine, ce qui est totalement illégal.
- Ana (10/5): Definitely recommend this place truly makes you feel at home. - Very nice location! Also Omar is Amazing. He is extremely helpful and has such a great energy you truly feel like family. Beds can be a little more comfortable
- Dian (9/5): Perfecte verblijf voor het ontdekken van Fez - Ontzettend vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel, prachtige Riad en fijne locatie in de Medina maar op prima loopafstand van de parkeergarage. We hadden helaas last van een hardnekkige rioollucht uit het doucheputje en het bed was aardig smal.
- elisabeth (6/5): -
- ROBERTO (10/5): Riad assolutamente consigliabile. - La posizione è ottima per visitare la Medina. Colazione abbondante e varia su bellissima terrazza. Ottimo il ristorante.
- Jean-Marie (9/5): - L'emplacement et la gentillesse du personnel
- M. (8/5): -
- Ally (10/5): フェズで泊まるならここ! - 宿泊する前の段階で質問メールをしたらすぐに丁寧な返答があり、しかも、チェックインしたときにそのことをちゃんと覚えていてくれました。
宿泊中もスタッフは親切でとても気持ちよく過ごすことができました。ルーフトップでいただく朝食もよかったです。
ロケーションもよく買い物や観光にもとても便利で、ブー・ジュルード門(タクシーにはここから乗ります)からも近いので他の町への移動の際も楽でした。
部屋は充分広く、中庭に向いた窓がおしゃれでした。照明も明るくてよかったです。 宿のせいではありませんが、0時くらいまで外が騒がしい日がありました。
- Simona (10/5): - Il Riad è in una posizione comodissima, appena dentro la Medina
Abbiamo usufruito del servizio taxi e i ragazzi ci hanno accolto e accompagnato in Riad
Servizio e pulizia impeccabile come la gentilezza e disponibilità del personale
Letti comodissimi
Colazione tipica e abbondante
Ottima anche la cucina proposta per la cena che ci è stata servita nella terrazza panoramica. Unica pecca è stato un odore sgradevole di scarichi, soprattuto al mattino, dato probabilmente dal fatto che avevamo la camera al pianterreno.
- Marilen (10/5): Such a wonderful and beautiful place to stay in Marrakech! The staff was beyond amazing! - The perfect Riad!
- Elisa (8/5): ottima base per l'arrivo a Fez - terrazza magnifica dove abbiamo cenato molto bene, staff gentilissimo e super preparato
camera accogliente e pulita odore di fogna nel bagno, in camera fortunatamente non si sente se si tiene la porta chiusa
- Darioleta (7/5): Riad bien ubicado - El personal muy amable, Faruk y Omar. Siempre atentos. Buena ubicación, a pasos Puerta Azul El baño tenía mal olor.
- SNAIL77 (10/5): - The staff were amazing, Farouk and Omar went above and beyond. They had great customer service and very hospitable.
The Riad is elegant, clean, nice roof top and large breakfast. Nothing.
- Fernando Bianchi (10/5): Excepcional - La atención es excepcional, desayuno excelente y, muy variado. La amabilidad y atención!, al llegar nos explicaron acerca del lugar y como movernos. Nos ofrecían café gratuito cuando estábamos en el Riad. La ubicación es perfecta y el Riad y su decoración es preciosa. Sumamente agradecidos y recomendamos fuertemente este hospedaje Nada
- Pascal (10/5): -
- Pascal (10/5): Formidable - Superbe Riad dans la médina de Fès, juste à côté de la porte bleue ! Localisation exceptionnelle ! Petit déjeuner sur le rooftop exceptionnel avec superbe vue ! Ras
- Debora (9/5): GENOTEN! - Mooie riad op een perfecte locatie, met een heerlijk dakterras met prachtig uitzicht. Fijne kamer met tv. Leuke luikjes en sfeervolle verlichting. Goede, vriendelijke, aardige en sociale service (Dank Omar & Souhail!). Rustig en ontspannen sfeer. Lekker ontbijt. Niet dat wij het echt heel storend vonden of dat het tegen viel, maar als we iets kritisch moeten zeggen:
De badkamer en wc waren wat krapjes in de Fez-room.
Het galmt nogal in de centrale middenplaats, waardoor je makkelijk de mensen hoort praten beneden en mensen jouw horen, wanneer jij zelf beneden in gesprek bent met een ander. Mede daarom zaten wij liever op het dakterras, wat gewoon een prachtige en heerlijke plek was.
- Niemeijer (10/5): Very nice staff and great location - Super friendly staff and great location I’m fairly tall so the doors were a little small for me
- Amina (9/5): Lovely small riad in the middle of Old Medina. Perfect for people without kids who want to enjoy Fes and people’s hospit - The property has a lovely rooftop terrace where you can have breakfast and dinner or just enjoy some tea, peace and quiet after busy Medina.
The staff was exceptionally friendly and kind. They truly made us feel like home. They accommodated all our needs.
It is also great value for money as we spent double the price in Marrakech for a similar riad.
Rooms very clean The rooms and bathrooms are a little smaller than in other riads but this is expected given an excellent price for the property.
- Natasha (9/5): Perfect stay in Fes! - Very welcoming property and would recommend for a short or long stay! It had wonderful staff who helped with all questions. The room was clean and comfortable. We also ate dinner at the Riad and it was superb.
The location was also great, right between the two main streets and easy to walk to and find The bathroom had mould, which doesn’t bother me but I know people can be allergic.
- syed (6/5): - Its elegant decoration My room was not available at 14:00. One has to carry the luggage out of the car parking. breakfast is available at 08:30, which is quiet late.
- Katharina (10/5): - We had an amazing stay at Riad Farah! The team is amazing, from arrival to departure, they have taken exceptional care of us and provided us with information, tea and coffee and always a smile on their faces. We always chatted about our day in the Medina and felt very safe. The rooms are beautifully designed, clean and comfortable, the rooftop terrace is stunning, the food (breakfast and dinner) great and the hospitality extraordinarily. They welcome you as part of the family and make sure you feel like it. The location is perfect too, close to the blue gate and inbetween the two main streets. 200% recommended!
- Miguel Angel (9/5): Riad agradable, muy bien ubicado y con buen servicio - - La facilidad para llegar al riad, dado que que está a poca distancia de Bab Boujloud y de la calle Talaa Sghira
- La relación calidad/precio
- La amabilidad del personal y las explicaciones recibidas sobre la medina
- La ubicación de la habitación en la planta baja, que es más adecuado para personas con dificultades físicas
- Vistas desde la terraza No hay nada que no me haya gustado. Como sugerencias mencionaría el incluir algo de fruta en el desayuno y alguna cosa más en el paquete de desayuno en caso de tener que salir de excursión antes de la hora a la que comienza el desayuno.
Para tener en cuenta que por estar en la medina, y por su antigüedad, a veces se puede notar un olor en el cuarto de baño.
- Derek (8/5): - Staff and food was very good. Bathroom smelt very bad and could be cleaner.
- John (9/5): We really enjoyed our stay at Riad Farah because of the authentic charm, location, excellent food and very friendly and - The riad is authentic and restful. The location is excellent. Omar and Nadir were very welcoming, friendly and happy to help with anything, as well as give us good information. The quality of the food was always excellent and beautifully presented. Great to have the choice of eating in the lovely courtyard or rooftop. The bathroom was quite small and it wasn’t easy to get a constant ideal water temperature in the shower.
- Mathieu (10/5): - Great location. Nicely decorated. Amazing and attentive hosts (Omar in particular). The mattress was a little too firm for my taste.
- Lucylu67 (9/5): Riad confortevole - Bel Riad, pulito e con una bella vista dalla terrazza panoramica. Buona colazione e buona cena. Camera confortevole. Buona posizione all' interno della medina con un parcheggio pubblico facilmente raggiungibile a piedi. Buon rapporto qualità/prezzo.
- N. (8/5): -
- Recep Tayyip (6/5): 1 gece için ideal - Konumu iyi çalışanlar çok ilgili Banyo gideri tıkalıydı
- Fiona (9/5): Beautiful Riad - The staff at the Riad Farah were exceptional. Omar and his coworker were friendly, welcoming and super helpful! The breakfasts were good and the room was large and beautifully decorated. Great location near the blue gate in the middle of everything. There was a strong sewer gas smell in the Casablanca room
- Ludmila (10/5): Excelente!! - La amabilidad de quien nos recibió, muy buena predisposición. La ubicación también. Todo estuvo perfecto.
- Tamae (10/5): 朝食が美味しく観光に便利なリアド - ブルーゲートから歩いて5分かからない大変便利なリアド。観光するのも徒歩圏内。疲れたらちょっと休んでから、また、出かけるなどできて良かったです。近くにカフェやレストランもあり、食事に困ることはなかった。テラスからは360度のパノラマ 気持ちよく過ごせました。朝食も美味しかった。 特に無し。
- Simon (8/5): - Das Riat ist klein aber sehr schön. Unser Zimmer war sehr schön eingerichtet und sauber und der Service war sehr angenehm und unterstützend. Wir können die Unterkunft auf jeden Fall emfpehlen.
- FABRIZIO (9/5): Ottima scelta amhe per più giorni. - Posizione centralissima nella medina. Elegante. L'accoglienza più professionale che abbiamo avuto .
Molto carino anche un piccolo angolo a disposizione per la lettura.
- SimoTripLover (10/5): - All was great, the room on the last floor (intim and charming), the terrace, the dinner, the breakfast, the staff Maybe the possibility to have early breakfast
- Ineta (10/5): - It is very nice riad, authentic, very clean, very nice staff, speaking English fluently, very helpful. The location can't be better, in Medina. near Blue gate. Very tasty breakfasts and dinners. It was extremely nice to stay there.
- LIUDMILA (10/5): - Отличный риад, внутри как дворец. Идеально расположен, недалеко от Голубых ворот. Омар был очень гостиприимным и его советы были очень ценны для нашего путешествия по медине. Одеяла были слишком теплыми.
- Anna (9/5): -
- Irina (10/5): Советуем для проживания - Нам понравилось всё! Аутентичный отель. Номер "Марракеш" с раздельными кроватями на 1- м этаже.. Большой.Приветливый персонал. Удобное расположение недалеко от ворот Медины в тихом проулке. Легко найти. В связи с ранней экскурсией менеджер нам приготовил завтра раньше, вызвал такси, помог донести чемоданы. Всё понравилось!
- Giada (9/5): - Riad a due passi dalla porta blu. Staff molto gentile e cena molto buona. Comodo il servizio da e per l'aeroporto.
- Jose Antonio (10/5): - La straordinaria accoglienza dello staff (ci hanno offerto il tè alla menta, ci hanno spiegato un po' la storia e la struttura della città, ci hanno aiutato a portare su e giù le valigie, erano disponibili a qualsiasi ora per aiutare).
La bellezza dello spazio comune e delle terrazze.
La colazione molto abbondante. La stanza Merzouga non è molto grande.

- 822dc71f5ead7106528de60e858a320a (10/5): - Perfetto Riad in stile arabo. La cena sul terrazzo stupenda. Colazione buona e abbondante. Perfetto per vedere Fez a piedi. Personale accogliente e disponibile. Lo consiglio vivamente.

- 60ef50c40e11716d66bcfb282f1c2f66 (9/5): - El personal es muy amable y atento.La terraza muy bonita
- e839bdfb495b735459bb3eb161544095 (8/5): Everything is ok, but with nuances - The location and staff was great! It was sunrise for me that property doesn't accept credit cards. The staff say to me that something is wrong and I should pay with cash.

Tüm pazarlar ve restoranlar da mevcut.
Çevresi güzel insanlarla dolu. Banyoyu yenilememiz gerektiğini düşünüyorum.

- Thomas (10/5): An exceptional stay highlighted by outstanding service and perfectly central location. - Above all, the staff were fantastic. Omar was an excellent member of staff and consistently attended to us in the utmost professional way. Just a top bloke. He even taught me how to make a traditional Moroccan tea.
The breakfast was very tasty and was situated on the rooftop terrace, offering lovely views of the Old Town Fes. The location was ideal, as we were sandwiched between the two main streets of the city. N/A
- Lesley (10/5): The property was ideally located, very clean but the two gentlemen are what made our stay even more enjoyable. - Fabulous location and the two gentleman who were looking after the Riad and guests went above and beyond with all they do. Loved the property.
- Silvia (10/5): -

- jodat (9/5): - Location is right in the middle of the action. You can explore famous Fes milestones on a walk I would suggest to bring your own toiletries.
- Sandi (10/5): A perfect stay! - The property was beautiful, exceptionally clean, and very easy to find once you got your bearings.
The staff was extraordinary and went above and beyond to anticipate and meet our needs.
The walking guide they found for us was older, had lived in the Medina his entire life, spoke clear English, was knowledgeable about the history, and above all very kind and patient with my friend with mobility struggles.
Nadir (the daytime host) was so attentive to all our needs and quirks and showed true Moroccan hospitality. One of us was gluten free and the team adjusted to that beautifully; the food was excellent (breakfast and a few extra meals).
The nighttime host, Omar, arranged transportation from Fez to Chefchaouen with a wonderful driver, equally as attentive to our needs to take a few breaks on the 4 hour drive.
Having a culinary background, I decided to spend a half day with Chef Omar: we planned a menu together, shopped at the spice and food market for all our needs, and made a lamb tagine with three sides. Chef Omar is a formally trained chef, has excellent understanding of English and was really fun to cook with.
No one would ever tell us the ‘prices’ of anything 🙄 but it was all very fair and reasonable and no one ever tried to scam us. ($60 USD for all the food, cooking lesson, shopping experience and a fabulous dinner for 2!).
The team also did a few loads of laundry for us (we packed lightly) for only about $2 each).
I cannot rave about this place and team enough!
We had such a wonderful and memorable time in Fez, and I will never forget the kindnesses and attention to detail.
Thank you!
What a great team! The only thing is the traditional lighting is not good for reading, so I would bring a (head lamp?) reading light if you are a reader.
Also, no outdoor spaces, but it IS in the middle of the old Médina.
- Herman (10/5): Zeer aan te bevelen verblijf om van daaruit de Medina te verkennen - Personeel uitermate vriendelijk, heerlijk ontbijt. Gelegen aan de rand van de Medina vlak bij de Blue Gate, perfecte locatie. geen minpunten
- federica (10/5): Una favola - Della struttura mi è piaciuto tutto, dall’architettura alla pulizia degli ambienti. Non consiglierei un altro posto dove soggiornare se non questo Rihad. A dir poco stupendo!
Nadir (il ragazzo che si occupa dell’accoglienza) è stato super premuroso e gentile bei nostri confronti, onestamente si incontrano di rado persone così!
- Michele (10/5): Exceptional stay! - I had an absolutely wonderful experience during my stay in Fes. The location is simply perfect—right inside the medina and just a short walk from the famous Blue Gate (Bab Boujloud), making it ideal for exploring the medina.
The welcome was exceptional from the very first moment. Even though I arrived very early in the morning, the staff kindly allowed me to leave my luggage and even offered me breakfast on arrival, which was a very thoughtful touch. When I returned in the evening, my bags were already in my room.
The room was very cozy and comfortable. Cleanliness throughout the property was great.
The food was another highlight of my stay. Breakfast was delicious and incredibly generous — I was so full that I didn’t even need lunch! Dinner was equally amazing, prepared with great care and full of flavour.
The staff truly made the difference. They were always kind, welcoming, and available for anything I needed. Upon arrival, they took the time to explain everything about Fes and provided me with a map, which was extremely helpful.
For my second day, they organised a private tour to Meknes, Volubilis, and Moulay Idriss. Everything was perfectly arranged: I traveled with my luggage, had a dedicated driver for the entire day, and at the end of the tour, I was dropped off directly at the airport. It was seamless and very convenient.
I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Fes!
- CHARLES (10/5): Un séjour exceptionnel grâce au Riad Farah. Je le recommande vivement. - Un accueil chaleureux avec Nadir et Omar qui nous ont renseigné; à Omar, le Chef, avec sa cuisine délicieuse, à l’attention des femmes de chambre. Une équipe dynamique, disponible et chaleureuse. Un Riad très propre avec une décoration magnifique.
- Edith (10/5): Wunderbare Tage in diesem tollen Riad! - Die Gastgeber Nadir und Omar waren sehr zuvorkommend, gastfreundlich und gaben sehr hilfreiche Informationen.
Das Frühstück war sehr gut und bei Abreise am frühen Morgen bekam ich sogar ein Frühstück für unterwegs.
- Christos (10/5): Fantastic experience. Totally recommended. - Great location, amazing staff (Omar and Nadir) running the riad (very helpful and resourceful) and a traditional atmosphere with clean rooms, great food and nice facilities.
- David (10/5): - Ideal location in the madina. And lovely staff.
- Michelle (8/5): This Riad reflected Fes very well - classy and quiet - Nadir and Omar were really helpful and gracious hosts. I think we booked the worst room. We were looking for two single beds. The room was pretty tiny. The bathroom had this horrible smell, but I figured out I could run the fan all night and it helped. It was wonderfully quiet though at night time.
- Béatrice (10/5): Un séjour inoubliable ! - Un accueil formidable et attentionné grâce à Nadir et Omar.
Une cuisine délicieuse grâce au chef et un petit déjeuner copieux , varié et très bon grâce à la cuisinière du matin.
Toute l'équipe, femmes de ménage comprises sont aux petits soins .
La situation du ryad près de la porte bleue est idéale pour pouvoir se promener dans la médina ou à l'extérieur vers les jardins.
Le ryad est magnifique, refait avec goût.
Les chambres sont confortables et très jolies équipées d'une climatisation réversible ce qui est un vrai plus.
Encore merci à Nadir qui nous a servi notre petit déjeuner ce matin sur le rooftop sous un beau ciel bleu. Un moment hors du temps !
Nous reviendrons .
Béatrice. Rien
- Alepibi (7/5): - La posizione perfetta ed il servizio aeroporto/ryad/aeroporto ottimo. Le camere non sono silenziose....fino a tarda sera si sentivano perfettamente voci e chiacchiere di chi si attardava nel patio.
Sono stato in altri ryad dove il silenzio dalle 21 della sera è d'obbligo.
Ho fattoo la richiesta di antecipare di mezz'ora la colazione rispetto all'orario solito....x la partenza...ma la richiesta non è stata soddisfatta....mi è stato preparato un sacchetto con 2 pastine industriali ed un succo con yogurt.......
- Stefanie (9/5): Personnel attentionné et courtois et emplacement stratégique -
- Paola (7/5): Buono - Personale gentilissimo, posto accogliente e colazione ottima e abbondante Purtroppo nel nostro bagno c'era un forte odore di fogna
- michele (10/5): Splendido Riad in pieno centro - Bellissimo Riad in pieno centro a Fes, personale favoloso la gentilezza di Nadir impeccabile. Bellissima terrazza per vedere tutta la Medina e splendida colazione molto abbondante. Le critiche non sono alla struttura ma ai servizi che abbiamo usufruito, servizio di hammam bello e pulito ma molto sbrigativo come servizio per 50€ per un ora mi sembra un po troppo. Servizio guida per visitare Fes diciamo che non è stata molto esplicativa per portarci in giro potevamo benissimo visitare da soli.
- Juan (10/5): Mejor Riad de Fes - Muy lindo, bien decorado, muy limpio
Nos atendieron excelentemente bien, llenos de detalles y gentileza
- PATRICE (10/5): - Le personnel et l'emplacement.
- Špela (9/5): Great location, excellent food (we definitely recommend having at least one meal at the riad), and incredibly kind staff -
- Max (10/5): Un magnifique riad, typiquement fassi - Un magnifique riad, très bien situé dans la vielle médina, mais très facile d'accès par voiture. Une chambre de très bon confort. Un accueil chaleureux, avec une hôte de très haute qualité. Sans hésiter, nous y séjournerons de nouveau à notre prochain séjour à Fès !
- Lorinda (8/5): Overall our stay here was made wonderful by the informative and friendly front desk staff, Omar. - Breakfast was absolutely excellent. Served by omar from the front desk who was absolutely wonderful. Good selection of both local foods and some western food such as croissants. (We preferred the local food). Served in the traditional inner courtyard. Unfortunately there was a bad mildew smell in our bathroom. If the door was kept closed it was overpowering to go in there so we kept it open. Definitely need to change something about ventilation to prevent this in the future. The room was beautiful but that was a downfall.
- Liudmila (8/5): - Расположение супер,завтрак на террасе,легко найти.
Персонал помогает по всем вопросам.
- Dave (10/5): Great value highly recommend - 2 mins from the blue gate in the Medina great location. The hosts are exceptional, greeted with tea in arrival.
Great panoramic view, comfortable rooms and an authentic feel about the place.
The included breakfast was magnificent and the best breakfast I’ve had in my Morocco tour of 10 days. The cost of my night here I would have paid that for the breakfast in a local restaurant, don’t know how they make money 😂
Highly recommend this place for value and comfort. I will stay again Nothing
- Georges (9/5): Nous recommandons ce Riad pour la qualité de l'accueil et sa situation à l'entrée la plus fréquentée - Situation proche de la "Porte Bleue"
Omar et son collègue sont à nos petits soins. Pièce mieux ventilée
- Ciaccia (10/5): - Struttura super silenziosa e vicinissima alla porta bab boujloud, fondamentale punto di riferimento nella caotica Medina anche per prendere i taxi. Nadir super disponibile e accogliente. Abbiamo ora un nuovo amico in città. Camere bellissime e doccia spaziosa
- Violeta Menéndez (10/5): - La amabilidad del personal en todo momento, la localización es magnifica Todo estaba bien, quizás una cama algo más grande, pero el espacio es el que es.
- Dmitry (9/5): - Enjoyed my stay very much. Thanks to Omar who made us feel like at home really. Marrakech room is double floor with 2 beds. The terrace is nice where you can have some tea.
- Adrian (8/5): Good experience. - The Riad was fine. Very authentic building and centric location. It is very close to a lot of main attractions by walking distance. The listing doesn't have photos of the rooms so it was kind of a surprise when we arrive there.
- Beatrice (10/5): - Omar und Nadir sind zwei der herzlichsten Menschen die wir auf unserer Reise durch Marokko getroffen haben. Total lieb, herzlich und man hat wirklich das Gefühl Zuhause zu sein. Das Frühstück ist unfassbar lecker und das Riad hat eine wunderschöne Terrasse.
Es war wirklich perfekt! Wir haben auf dem Parkplatz vor der Medina für 40 MAD geparkt und das hat perfekt gepasst. :)
- Roberta (10/5): -
- William (10/5): - Accueil et situation Les marches trop hautes !
- Marco (10/5): Ottimo! - Posizione centralissima, ottima per muoversi a piedi e vicina alla porta blu per prendere il taxi, struttura accogliente e pulita, colazione di ottima qualità e abbondante, ma soprattutto uno staff davvero disponibile che ti fa davvero sentire come a casa
- Lamia (9/5): -
- Arunachalam (8/5): Was a short stay so we were okay with the size of the room too - It was in the main area and the breakfast was excellent The room was too small for 3 ppl
- Aimara (10/5): -
