Reviews of 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

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!

surprising location in the small streets of Fes. Beautiful interior. beautiful room and very friendly and helpful staff. the food was very good as well and everything was uncomplicated. would definitely book this again.

Amazing location. Very helpful and friendly staff. Great place, you will not be disappointed. Thank you Murad :)

Staff was super nice and proactive, respectful

Location directly in Medina close to main objectives. Good breakfast. Nice roof top terrace. The host Mourad was very nice and helpful with any questions and requests like restaurants recommendation, exchange, sightseeing etc. His personal involvement in the business is obvious and valuable as Medina Fez is not easy to get around.

There is a bad smell on and off on the terrace but probably specific to the environment. Medina Fez I would not recommend for its beauty but as an interesting and unique place.

Best place in the beautiful city of fes. Everything was perfect in this Riad, feeling like home, feeling staff like friends. Very good vibes. The room was so clean and charming. All perfect. Just want to return ♥️

The manager was very attentive without being intrusive. A truly nice person, he gave us many tips about navigating the medina, places to eat, and things to see. We also had a share of conversation that was more akin to that of friends than pure business. We learned a lot about Moroccan life in general from him.

The location is in the old medina, which has its pros and cons. The good part is that it's close to everything you'll likely want to do there. But the medina is quite a maze, and so it takes a while to learn how to find your bearings.

We were really enjoyed our stay here. The property is amazing and has a roof with the views of Fes. The breakfast was amazing. Mourad did the outstanding job by meeting us at the parking lot and explaining us about the city sightseeing. The room was huge and the doors are the original woods. Please be aware it is a tricky way to get to the riad through tunnels but very safe and Mourad was always answering and helping and he will take care of you and make sure you are not lost. Overall, amazing property, amazing host and the location is unbeatable.

EVERYTHING…. From the moment Murat greeted us at the Parking lot and led us through the maze… to stepping into the Dar was just magnificent. He and the staff was so sincere and guided us through our stay. This has been such a special experience so I highly recommend this Dar and the staff which makes you feel at home.

The riad is very family friendly. Kids could play over the many levels and had a lot of fun. Food was excellent. The rooms were great and beautiful, with many nice details like warm covers. The staff was very friendly and responded fast to our requests. We already have been to great and expensive riads in Fes and although this riad is simpler in its architecture, the experience was so good that it is now our favourite in Fes.

The green and orange rooms have beautiful but a bit dangerous stairs inside the rooms. This should be noted in the room description.

We had a perfect stay with our family in the Riad Dar Faracha, the place is nicely decorated, very comfortable, quiet with a nice rooftop terrasse to enjoy the end of the day. More importantly the staff and especially Mourad made it exceptional, super nice and always keen to go the extra mile to organize restaurant, trip, hamman reservation, and share good tips and information. We highly recommend

Mourad made our stay at Faracha Fes so memorable & comfortable. He went way beyond our expectations and thanks to his advice and help, we really enjoyed our stay in Fes. He is one of the highlights of our Morocco trip, and we wished we could stay longer at Faracha Fes. Highly recommend this facility (the narrow path to the hotel is def a bonus)!!

A homely riad in the medina, which was a nice and cool escape from the heat and hustle and bustle outside. Mourad was a fantastic hotel manager who took incredibly great care of us during our stay in Fes which we sincerely appreciated. He speaks English and French fluently (Spanish too) and really looks after his guests at the riad. He truly goes above and beyond to ensure all his guests have a great stay and feel safe too. We feel very fortunate to have met him during our travels. There is also a very cute pet tortoise at Dar Faracha who we enjoyed interacting with each day. Housekeeping staff are all lovely and friendly people too. With Mourad taking care of Dar Faracha, you're in great hands.

Extremely friendly staff and great place to stay. Can only recommend!

It’s a lovely riad in the middle of some super narrow streets; you can’t hardly believe there will be something there! It’s full of charm and providing some quiet and relaxed environment after getting lost in lovely Fez. Above all, the hotel manager, Mourad, is a great professional that goes out of his way to accomodate your needs. He’s kind, responsive and very helpful at all times. Thanks, Mourad; you’ll stay in our memory of these lovely trip.
