Book a Hotel near Place R'cif, Fes

an amazing palace-like property with a real old-world sensibility, and an outstanding staff - friendly and helpful in every way.

The gentleman that manages this property has made our stay so worth it. He took the time to follow us to neighboring restaurants and provide additional guidance where necessary (he deserves a raise). The owner brother was also very

TLDR: Americans, Stay Here. You will be comfortable but still get the true feel of Fez. Almost everyone spoke English. My husband, daughter and I stayed here in February 2019. Mohamed was a wonderful host. He made arrangements for a taxi tour of the city one day and for a walking tour of the Medina another day. If you do the walking tour, which I HIGHLY recommend, ask for Tommy (I'm sure it isn't spelled that way but that was how it sounded). It is a little difficult to find because you have to walk down some very narrows streets but there are small signs to direct you. Our taxi driver had to let us out a few block away because there are no cars in this part of the city and he got a couple of young girls to take us to the hotel. Mohamed welcomed us and told us a little history of Fez. He then walked us to a restaurant and came back to get us. He made the offer again until we felt comfortable that we could find our way on our own. The rooms are even more beautiful that the pictures show. The bathrooms are modern and the rooms comfortable. Breakfast was tea and/or coffee,fresh juice, pastries, and hard boiled eggs. We liked it so much we extended our stay an extra day.

The location was great. They arranged a guide for us. The breakfast was generous. No laundry available.

Where to start. This is an exceptional place. It is so beautifully designed with every last detail in mind - from the little bar off the delightful courtyard to unwind after the day and play board games to the terrific music playlist to the rooftop breakfast room to the thoughtfully curated art pieces everywhere. Our room was lovely, charming, clean with very comfortable bed and pillows. But as beautiful as our surroundings were, the wondering hosts Alex and Yasmine and Riad team made our stay exceptional. They met us at the taxi, gave us a local phone to stay in contact, set us up with a terrific Medina tour guide, arranged a car to Casablanca for us. They called a restaurant and asked them to meet us so we wouldn't get lost and sent someone to walk us back from the square when we got back quite late. Alex greeted us with tea and cookies in the lobby when we first arrived and spent time orienting us to the layout of Fez and provided guidance on how to make the most of our stay. His love of his adopted city was infectious. We only wished we could have stayed longer. Truly best Riad in Morocco. And best couscous meal we had on our entire trip.

Just stay here. Trust me. It's location is nice in the Medina, but you'll never want to leave the Riad because it is just that nice.
