It can be busy in the surrounding area and expect to get lost. You will be relieved to be able to access little places like this as they are virtually closed off to the outside hustle and bustle. I was lucky to have good company in the room but remember that you do have to share with random strangers. That's not a negative against this particular place (I loved it) but bear it in mind when booking a shared room. This guy does have individual rooms available.

Absolutely perfect location. Very tidy and welcoming. It's definitely got that charm and characteristic architecture, the Moroccan vibe, as you can tell from the pics. For the price, I was surprised to say the least, I wasn't expecting much, so I can actually say it exceeded my expectations. Made some friends who were also travelling and enjoyed a fantastic dinner just a short walk away. I didn't have breakfast here as I wanted to see the sunrise at the nearby ruins but I hear they do offer it. The owner / manager was chatty but uniquely entertaining. I'll be back after a trip to Meknes.

Literally the only thing would be not having a sign for the accommodation can make it a little tricky to find the first time.

Came as a stranger, left as a brother! Great vibe and never felt so accomodated for- beautiful interior, amazing staff and great rooms for the price. Everyone who came through was so nice and friendly, it really made our trip to Fes memorable 💖 the place Is cool during the day which is nice and also quiet from the busy streets nearby! Staff went above and beyond for us at every turn and activity.

We had an unforgettable stay at this Riad. Mohamed and Latifa are remarkably kind and patient, always attentive and caring. The attractive price was a bonus. Thank you for this wonderful experience, and we wish them all the best. See you soon !

Some rooms can be a little bit loud because of the location.

The owner is friendly and helpful.

It was very cold in the room and the bed was quite hard. Also, the room we stayed in was on the ground floor and right next to the common area so in the evening it was quite loud when there were people chatting.

Amazing view on the medina on the terasse, great hosts and extremely friendly. Mohammed and Latifah were great!

A showercurtain would help in the bathroom and a garbagebin in the room.

Is was really convenient that they picked us up from the nearby gate in the Madina and let us store our bikes in the accomondation. The hosts tried to make us feel comfortable and provided towels for ud. The breakfast was exeptional good. Dar Fez Art rooftop terrace has the best views over the madina and is a great place to chill. Thanks for the stay!

the signage to find the hotel will probably be updated by the time you visit, but if not, here is how to find it: 1) do not go past the gate/entrance at bab rcif - go along the last possible wall/corridor perpendicular to the gate entrance on the right hand side of the entrance to bab rcif 2) when this corridor dead ends after about 15-20m, turn to your right 3) go past one corridor on the right hand side, turn right into the 2nd possible corridor 4) the door will be about 10-15m down on your left and has a doorbell and a security camera above it

the terrace is amazing and the hosts are friendly

Everything was very exceptionally excellent. Specially the owner Mohammed was so helpful and very hospital. And, there were a variety of kitchenwares in the kitchen, so I made my own food there everyday. Thank you for everything.

Only the owner (I guess is him) knows English but I met him only during the evenings. During the day there is a lady, she is very kind but knows zero English, only Arabic. There are NOT lockers and you can't lock the door of the dorm too. The WiFi stopped to work from the penultimate day and until 12 of the next day it didn't work. It would be great to have a hanger in the bathroom otherwise a person doesn't know where to leave the clothes. The hostel has a common area but probably, because it's low season, I never met other travellers, hostel vibes were missing.

The owner was very kind, he waited for me until 00:30 (my flight had a delay), he answered the phone to give directions to the taxi driver and picked me up from where the driver parked. During the two days I spent there, I was the only one in the dorm. Good position. Bathroom ensuite in the dorm.

We loved our stay here. It is a great place to stay with a perfect location in Fes. Beautiful traditional mosaic patterns on the walls and floors and Muhammed who welcomed us was incredibly friendly! Amazing value for money!

I had the pleasure of staying in a traditional riad in Morocco, and it was an unforgettable experience. The architecture and decor were stunning, with intricate tilework and a peaceful central courtyard. The staff were warm and hospitable, always ready with mint tea and local tips. It was the perfect blend of authenticity and comfort—highly recommended for anyone looking to immerse themselves in Moroccan culture.
