Reviews of Riad Fes Elite

Quiet and comfortable rooms. Clean. Staff were nice

Nothing major. Parking is a long way from the hotel and requires a taxi. The hotel isn't easy to find. The pool and the rooftop are designed for "mountain goats". With a sore knee, I was unable to access them

The breakfast on the terrace and the great view

The riad was just outside of the Medina walls at the bottom of the hill. The walk to the blue gate was about 20 minutes, though up a steep hill. The room was spacious and the bed was large. There was hot water with good pressure in the shower. The breakfasts were excellent.

I had almost no interaction with the host - had to call to get the door opened upon arrival, I estimate I had a 5 minute wait in the alley. The host quickly showed me to my room and said we would sort out the checkin the following day (this was around 6pm). I found him a lot less welcoming than other riad hosts. The breakfast was nominally from 8:30-10 but on the first day there was no signs of life until after 9, I had to message the host to figure out the breakfast. The second day breakfast was also significantly after 9 which caused a bit of pressure getting to my bus. The chairs for breakfast were also uncomfortable, seemingly sliding you forward when you sit. The bed was not comfortable, I would say average for the riads I’ve visited. The terrace seems to be inaccessible except at breakfast. Perhaps this was not the case, but I never encountered the host apart from upon arrival so I couldn’t inquire. Payment was cash only which was a surprise, thankfully they accept Euro and USD in addition to MAD.

The only thing i liked is the women in the kitchen who were very helpfull. Otherwise nothing much.

First of all the house/riad, was not worth it, dirty smelly, not good taken care of. Not worth the money. If you are over 1,40 height you will have problem. If you can’t go some stairs don’t take this one. You have to walk whole the way up to eat breakfast and rom. One more important thing the owner dont accept card, only cash. ( we had cash) so you will not get your rom if you don’t have cash. The owner seemed to be angry whole time for some reason. The only positive thing were the lady in the kichten who served the breakfast

The terrace and breakfast was lovely and the bed was comfy.

Bad odour in the room, especially the bathroom. Broken toilet seat, towels were not very clean and it is not easy to find the property from the drop off point of the Medina.

The Riad is very characteristic and well decorated. The room was fabulous with the colored-glass windows into the central court. The terrace was amazing with nice view of the Medina. The breakfast was delicious.

The Riad is located in a narrow alley in the downhill part of the Medina. It is very centric, but getting there from the top attractions can be tricky because you have to cross the whole maze of alleys and souks. At night, it was a bit dodgy.

Abdul (the host) is a very kind and attentive person, always willing to recommend places to go, day trips to do... He is the best. Among other things, he offered to print our boarding passes for free and took care of everything we weren't sure about. Also, the breakfast was superb, very diverse, abundant and with local product. If the weather is good, you can have it on the terrace, which has breathtaking views over the Medina. The location is perfect since taxis can drop you off only a minute away from the riad. The rooms are pretty nice and the staff is very helpful; they will leave the room each day as if it were the first day.

Although the bathroom was nice and clean, there was some sewage smell in it.

We upgraded to two rooms on arrival which was an added bonus. The first floor rooms opening on to the courtyard were good. Quiet, very peaceful also very central location.

Stairs are very steep with no handrails, hard work and quite difficult for less mobile or elderly. Quite a workout to get to breakfast on the roof. Brother and sister running the Riad were a bit overstretched at times.

The rooms were clean but our bathroom stank of sewerage. They were also renovating the place. So there was a lot of work and painting going on down stairs. The view from the terrace was lovely and the breakfast was good and a lot. We were supposed to stay for 2 nights but we ended up leaving on the second day around lunchtime because we couldn’t face staying another night with that smell with a bathroom sore that doesn’t close and no windows or extractor in the bathroom

Beautiful view from the terrace, very clean room, delicious breakfast. They even packed us breakfast cause we needed to check out early for desert tour.

Beautiful terrace, friendly staff, stylish bedroom, amazing location, excellent breakfast

Bathroom was smelly

It was a excellent experience everything's from our first step until when we leave was outstanding

Nothing

Beautiful roof top. Great breakfast. Super kind and helpful staff.

Their staff were excellent in helping hotel guests. They can speak many languages fluently. When they knew that I would check out early in the morning, they packed my breakfast for me, without charge or question! This riad provided really hot water for shower, my other booked hotels offered only slightly warm water which I only wanted to wash my hands.

The location is a bit far from the main road, one must walk the narrow alley to reach the riad.

Nice riad with a beautiful view.

Changed 'my' automatically created review from a 10 to a 7. Shame on you! Entrance is in a dark alley, i had no problems with that.

Very old Riad close to the madina and the hussel and bussel of Fes. Very good breakfast on the terrace. Good value

A bit hard to find

We were made to feel really welcome here, and had some wonderful breakfasts on the rooftop terrace. The wifi worked well and the shower was hot and powerful (although a little slow to drain). All-in-all, it's a beautiful place to spend a few days.

The hairdryer could do with updating, and there was a lightbulb that could do with replacing (but there were enough lights in the room - so we wouldn't have used it anyway!)

Very Clean , Staff was lovely and breakfast was top notch !

Nothing

The terrasse offer a great view of the surrounding medina, the bed was comfortable and the shower had good pressure. The breakfast I had was good. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay here.

The riad is placed in a very old building (over 350 years old). It is placed at only 2 minutes from the road were the cars can arrive. The owner is very helpful and he will be able to provide you with city guides, wine, transfers by car and everything you need.

Being placed in an old building, the smell in the rooms can be anoying.
