I stayed at Riad Alya with my 13-year-old daughter and we had a wonderful experience. The staff were incredibly kind, helpful, and made booking our tours very easy. We always felt safe and well looked after. The riad is beautiful, very clean, and our room was spacious and comfortable. Breakfasts were fresh, plentiful, and a great way to start the day. The location was excellent and easy to access. I would highly recommend Riad Alya and would definitely stay again.

Would have preferred an elevator but it is a historic building so not to be unexpected. The staff would be happy to carry luggage up the stairs for you.

Staff was fantastic. I had the Casa Suite which is quite large with a very big bathroom with jacuzzi bath. The bed was comfortable and the breakfast was very nice. The building itself it gorgeous with all it’s Moroccan design elements.

This building is beyond beautiful! Stunning! The rooftop is high with outstanding views of the Atlas Mountains and all of Fez. The staff are so welcoming and eager to make your stay exceptional. The breakfast had eggs, pastries, jams and jellies, fresh orange juice, mint tea, and coffee. It was served in the gorgeous courtyard. We stayed in the Fes room on the first floor. Small things: the bed was a bit hard and our bathroom lacked good ventilation creating a mildew smell.

Everything was great really shower worked well bed was comfortable. Weather was horrible when we were there and so we tested the heating which worked well but unfortunately never troubled the air conditioning!

Great location. Close enough to easily walk into the medina but just enough away to escape the madness. Beautiful building lovingly restored and run Staff were super friendly and helpful. Any problem was taken care of they just wanted us to relax and enjoy Fes. They sorted airport taxis and local guides all were excellent

Wifi was poor. We were told we would get upgraded to another room after we come back from the Sahara as we were a family of 3 and the room we stayed in was tight. But that didn't happen as they later said they are full.

The breakfast was delicious. One day they even gave us packed breakfast because we were heading out early for the sahara. The staff were friendly and helpful. The terrace was lovely and peaceful.

A very beautiful Riad located on the edge of the Medina. Extremely friendly hosts – Mohammed, who speaks German, English, and French, provided us with interesting information about the city and made our stay very pleasant. Our motorcycles were guarded overnight 80 meters away (by a very kind watchman), and the delicious dinner at the Riad was a true culinary immersion into the country. Many thanks also to Chaymae, who sent us the location of an alternative underground parking garage in advance via WhatsApp.

The wifi in the room was spotty, but it´s understandable given the thick, old walls. Shower stream was a bit weak.

The customer service was top notch as well as the decor and ambiance. I´d defintely stay there again.

A bit of smell in the bathroom

Perfect place to stay in Fez. Quiet street, 8min to medina, 5min to garage to park the car, post and ATM. After terrible trafic in Fez, the calmnes and design of riad was soothing our nerves. Decorations of the riad are just amazing. This is really a small palace Tasty breakfast and dinner. Marakesh Suite was very comfortable, nice furniture and had a real heating! The only place in our 3-week trip in Morocco.

Wow, like staying at a palace! We had the suite, it was massive. The ryad facilities were all we hoped for and more. Idris was exceptional, so friendly, so helpful. Will definitely stay there again. Near the medina too.

It was an absolute fairy tale. Our stay at Ryad Alya was a beautiful and nurturing experience. Would definitely go back.

The room was a highlight of our trip, we felt like royalty! The ceiling was beautiful. The whole Riad was great, and the dinner was tasty. The guide we booked through the Riad was very knowledgeable and kind. Definitely a unique experience!

Some of the bathrooms smelt of damp/sewage which was out of keeping with the rest of the building. At dinner we had a violinist/singer who played dirges loudly. Spoiled a good meal.

Fabulous building well maintained and an oasis in the middle of Fez. Parking for our motorbikes was in local park and guy with a barrow transported our luggage. Host was very friendly and did his best to be helpful. Breakfast on the roof was excellent.

We had a wonderful stay at Riad Alya where we celebrated our anniversary. The hammam, rooftop terrace, interior garden with a fountain, in-house meals, and facilities were perfect. They also helped us arrange a stellar private guided tour of the city and put together a rooftop tea for us to watch the sunset over the city. A huge thanks to the staff, especially Chaymae and Houssain (our MVP!) that gave us a little slice of heaven in Fes.

There is nothing to complain about. Only positive reviews and very good memories from our stay in this riad. Deffinetly to be suggested to other visitors.

The stay on this riad was extraordinary. They have good reviews, but we were still a bit sceptic about it until we arrived to the place. Indeed, it exceeded our expectations. Place is awesome, staff is super kind and helpful. One of the best overnight experiences ever.
