Reviews of Riad Taryana

Lovely staff, clean.

Steep steps to room levels. Cold shower.

Very conveniently located in the Medina right around the corner from the Merdassa and Blue Gate. Everything was within steps of the street. The Host Mohammed , a native of Fes Medina, gave us an orientation the first morning which made our explorations easy. The night person Dariz was super kind and went out of his way to make me an early morning cuppa before breakfast. The decor was attractive in the Moroccan style and eating in the courtyard was a pleasant experience. The breakfast was copious and sometimes more than we needed.

Internet was weak on the top floors. You had to go out to one corner of the balcony/passageway to get full strength signal.

This place was good enough to stay there during my second visit to Fes, as well as during the first one, and it kept its level of comfort, friendliness of the staff, quality of he breakfast and everything else.

Location was great. Main host, Mohammed was very friendly and helpful.

Riad Taryana was recommended in our guide book (published in 2017) - it was in a great location near the front entrance of the madina and the air conditioning was very welcome in the 44C heat. It was obviously once a magnificent riad, but it has been neglected for years. Floor tiles were breakig, dirty towels and no shampoo in our bathroom, dated furniture and bedding, the intense smell of moth balls (perhaps trying to cover up the smell of mildew). We were the only guests in the whole riad (Fri-Sat in early August). We had just come from Marrakesh where we paid 65 Euros per night for a beautiful 4-star riad in the old madina. So we did not feel that 85 Euros was good value for Riad Taryana. Also, we did not appreciate being asked to pay upfront in cash before we were even shown our rooms. We also did not appreciate feeling pressured to hire a guide.

Excel entre host, very kind and helpfull.

Good location. We met the owner as we were checking out who was very lovely. Breakfast was nice. There was a power outlet next to every bed. Air conditioning worked well. Beds were adequately comfortable. wifi was good.

Our room was very basic. The bathroom had a fine layer of dirt on the tiles. Out room was advertised as including a washing machine and tumble dryer, this was incorrect. When we asked the staff he said he would get it washed. Our clothes were returned to us 24hours later by someone else who asked for payment. This had not been discussed initially. it wasn’t expensive, but I feel the room description should be updated to reflect that washing and drying is not included but can be organised for a fee.

so beautiful - we felt so lucky to stay in this gorgeous Riad. very kind and helpful manager and staff. amazing location close to blue gate and near best restaurants.

nothing

location near blue gate was perfect! Near great restaurants and food.

surprised on arrival that you couldn’t pay by card - would have been nice for Mohammed to mention as I had messaged him prior regarding arrival time. mentioned that to him as something easy that he can do when he messages someone who will be checking in… he said he would. otherwise he was super helpful getting us orientated.

Everything

The riad was very well located - close to one of the major entrances to the old medina. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast in the traditional Moroccan style was a perfect addition to the feeling of something authentically Moroccan.

The speed of the wi-fi during the evenings was sometimes weak on the upper floors.

In old city right by main gate making this riad a great stay fantastic location and excellent value.
