Nothing really, for that price it's hard to find fault. If I were to nit pick it would be ... The shared bathrooms are quite tiny and lack adequate hanging fittings so it can be a little tricky, but it's doable.

Everything was great given the price I called early morning around 9-10 am from Fes CTM station, they answered promptly, and accepted my request for an early check in. Upon arrival at the taxi stop I was greeted by the hosts son who carried my luggage to the riad Check In was accompanied by some Moroccan tea and light snack, nice touch Host and family are multi lingual, I spoke french and English and a few basic Arabic phrases. They are knowledgeable and accompanied me once to look for Cash plus office. I was offered the choice of different rooms for the same price, but I chose the ground floor for ease due to my health and mobility issues. A basic breakfast was included, tea, honey, Moroccan bread, cheese, very handy and excellent value for money Hosts do offer meals at additional cost, but I preferred to eat outside, other guests seemed to enjoy that. Overall can't complain, would definitely stay again. I ended up staying 3 nights.

Poor wifi in the room (but it's strong in the riad hall)

Perfect location Hospitality

- very hard to find the hostel, no signs outside. Impossible to find the entrance without asking people - tiny toilet combined with shower, no hangers or shelves in the toilet, there is no place to hang or put your clothes - no towels - wifi is not stable inside the room - the breakfast is poor (bread, butter, jam and tea)

- location: close to tanneries - the owner is very hospitable: instead of asking my passport he offered me a welcome cup of marrocan tea, which was very great after an exhausting search of the hostel - the antique house, this is an historical monument with authentic atmosphere. The doors and ceilings are very high! - toilet+shower is close to the room

To be fair, I probably got the smallest room, as I stayed alone. The room I got was just beside the toilet and I can hear the noises in the toilet. And the toilet is quite small too. But if you travel with friends and stay in one of the multi-people rooms I think it will be more comfortable. But for the price I paid and the helpfulness of the hosts I think its an OK place to stay.

So the biggest positive is that the host family is nice and helpful. I felt welcomed a lot when I stayed there.

Difficult to find the place. Even the owner sent me the wrong location from Whatsapp. No signboard. U need to ask the local neighborhood.

The Room is nice.

Weak wifi signal in the room. Sometimes it didn't work.

Very nice old big house in medina. In it you feel the spirit of Fez. Helpful hosts. Delicious dinner. Beautiful terrace. I very liked to stay there.

Excellent Breakfast

It is very easy to miss the entrance on the street as there is no sign. The bathroom has a bad smell. The bed linen was not very clean. The family only spoke little English, so you need Google Translate to communicate.

The whole family is lovely, the owner was helpful, and his wife can make some good local dishes with good portions. The location is good, close to the tannery. The owner could help book tours if necessary.

It was a bit difficult to communicate with English, but we figured it out in the end. However if you speak French or Arabic you will be fine. The facilities (toilet/shower) could use an update, and it smelled like cigarettes in our room and the common area.

We had an overnight bus that put us in the city around 4:30 a.m. and we chose to book this location because they said that was ok. We are very grateful that they let us come at that time because most places don't, especially because ours was a last minute request. So the hospitality is 11 out of 10!

I loved the family feeling in this traditional home. The views from the terrace are also breathtaking. Thank you for your hospitality

Great meals

There was no heat and the place very hard to find. Could not contact the host. Luckily, someone who knew him was there to call him to come get us and show us the home.

The room was nice and next to a restroom. The host was very kind. Breakfast was great. It was in the old city and lots of shopping for great prices.

It's near the tanneries so smells bad. Facilities are so poor, that no toilet paper or soap is available

The owners were very nice people

I noticed many cockroaches in my room and other areas. The staff were friendly, but when I specifically told them No to breakfast and dinner in the hotel due to hygiene concerns (their previous offerings were unpleasant, including the tea), the lady of the house would come to my door often with a tray full of food. I had to scream NO once because she did not listen to my request to not serve food. It comes from friendliness I know, but I felt harassed after a few days. The family owners also live here and sometimes they are screaming or making noise. Wifi is weak. The gate to the hotel has to be opened from the inside so you end up waking the staff up if you’re out late at night, with a heavy knock. Other than that I felt welcome and had my own space, and for a few days I would recommend this place for a budget traveller.

The place is big, and you have high ceilings, a terrace and lots of privacy. Friendly staff who let me be alone for the most part. They even encouraged me to take an excursion to Chefchaouen on my last day when I forgot that I wanted to. Location is in the beautiful old medina, I recommend the restaurant just outside and also Zohra around the corner.

The description of the room says air-conditioned which is inaccurate. The owner arranged a fan to be brought in. There were cockroaches in my room.

I had an ensuite room on the ground floor so it was relatively cooler. The owner’s son walked me to the hotel the day I arrived and the owner walked me to get a petit taxi the morning I left.

The bathroom/shower area next to the room was unusually tiny, but nothing to complain of otherwise.

Exceptionally kind owners - I felt very well treated; calm environment to relax after a day in the medina, striking, traditional architecture within the house, very cool terrace - one of my favourite sojourns overall. Many thanks!

Bathroom needs a good clean. Wifi worked in house but not in my room. Its at the other end of the medina from blue gate & I got lost many times.

Great breakfast. Made very welcome by family. Was helped finding a taxi to airport. Room was lower floor so cooler.
