The classic riad style and decorations, the terrace, the home-made food including the amazing and varied breakfast, the recommendations given by the host, the location 3 minutes walking from the "blue gate". Everything about this stay was on point. I highly recommend staying in this riad. All the food was super tasty and prepared at the moment by Catherine herself. My mom is gluten intolerant and the host took good care of her, she found gluten free options for the breakfast and even went the extra mile and cooked a cake without gluten for the last day! We felt very welcomed with my family and already want to come back to Fez.

I stayed at 'Dar Lantana' for a couple of nights. It is situated at the heart of Fes Medina, just a few minutes away from the cultural attractions & buzzing main street. I booked a transfer service through the owner of the medina, Catherine, to reach the riad from the CTM bus station. From the vehicle park, I was accompanied by a staff member from the riad. Since the vehicles can't reach the property directly, if you come with large luggage, it could be tiresome to carry them through the crowded streets of the medina. Catherine was very welcoming & greeted with a hot cup of Moroccan mint tea. The check-in process was smooth & the room I received was in the downstairs. The room was adequately spacious & had a couple of single beds. The room was equipped with a table, a couple of chairs, a cloth hanger, and an electric kettle. The bathroom was a bit small, especially the shower area. But it was clean and hot water worked without an issue. Towels, soap & amenities were available. Room service was available throughout the stay. The dining area was situated on the rooftop (literally on the 4th floor) and climbing the last few stairs had to be done with caution as it was steep. However, the rooftop had a panoramic view of the Fes medina. The fish Tajini I had at Dar Lantana was one of the best I had in Morocco & its portion was huge. Even the fish pastilla I had was tasty. I managed to get some laundry done through the riad for an extra cost. Furthermore, a tour to Volubilis & Meknes was booked through Riad, which turned out to be great. Catherine was communicating frequently & checked whether things were ok. Even the other staff members of the riad were friendly.   Overall, it was a great stay at Dar Lantana.

Catherine is a great host, super organised, and she was always in touch with us via WhatsApp, ready to answer our questions. The riad is located in an alley of the medina, so it was quiet at night, and only 5 minutes walking from the Blue Gate. Plenty of cafeterias, restaurants and shops nearby. The space was clean, the room very comfortable. Staff was friendly. We also had dinner at the riad and it was delicious, with big portions. But most importantly, my travel companion is allergic to gluten, and Catherine baked a delicious loaf of homemade bread for her. Thank you so much Catherine!

The staff at the hotel are very warm and welcoming and went far above their responsibilities to make sure we were comfortable. They gave us many tips and tricks for restaurants and shops and advised us on pricing of souvenirs and taxis to ensure we would pay fair prices. I fell ill during my stay with food poisoning and they even helped with finding me medication and remedies to calm my stomach. The cleaning was thorough with our bed clothes and towels changed regularly as it was very hot during our stay. There was a washing machine and space to dry clothes which we were able to use. The whole team were simply brilliant and we felt at home and in a really friendly atmosphere.

Nothing to improve

This property is perfect and the price is amazing value for money! It has a beautiful roof terrace where breakfasts and dinner (if you choose to dine there in the evening) are served - both are delicious. Our bed was very firm which I LOVED but worth being aware of if you like soft beds. Me and my boyfriend slept beautifully each night - better than I sleep at home! The shower had really good pressure and was always hot. The owner is extremely personable and a very good conversationalist - nothing was too much trouble for her to arrange and help us with - she also has a pet cat which was great. The property has Wifi and the location is great for wandering around the medina and also close to the Blue Gate to venture further afield.

You can hear people occasionally walking up and down stairs- that really was no issue for us but if stuff like that bothers you- its worth being aware of.

If I ever have the chance to visit Fes one more time, I would stay at this Dar again. It is incredibly beautiful, authentic, and in a great location within the medina. The biggest advantage is the amazing terrace where breakfast and dinner are served. It is absolutely stunning! Additionally, they prepare fantastic food, so don't hesitate to have dinner at Dar Lantana – the most delicious food in Morocco. Many thanks to Catherine, who was an exceptionally attentive and gracious host!

We were upgraded (since we were the only guests), to a room on the ground floor where we never felt the need to switch on the AC, despite the 43C heat outside! A noteworthy feature is the washing machine: we could do a much needed laundry. The cuisine is excellent: Catherine saw us through the three days of Eid al-Adha, where everything is closed, and she spoiled us with complimentary extras.

(All features of the property are adequately described, so nothing should come as a surprise,)

The location is perfect, the riad street is quite, everything it was great. The owner very friendly and helpful . She arranged for us a taxi when we arrived and she also made sure to have a taxi to take us to the airport at 4:00 in the morning and we are greatfull for it

The only thing that we didn't mind but it would be important for some people to know is that the riad has very narrow and high steps

We were given a very warm welcome, Cathrine is an excellent host. She is extremely helpful in organising any event or activity, we loved the authentic Moroccan cooking class and trip to Volubilis. The view from the rooftop was stunning both during the day and at night. Our room was cosy and beautifully decorated. We highly recommend the food, it was one of the best meals of our stay, especially the chicken couscous.

A wonderful experience in Fès. The host, a kind and welcoming French lady, provided us with all the essential information about exploring Fès and even shared recommendations for our next destination. The room was clean, quiet, and beautifully decorated with authentic Moroccan mosaic patterns. 干净漂亮便宜的小旅店，老板人特别好，强烈推荐。

Room might be a little bit small, but it is enough for us.
