The property was very close to the main streets of the souk. Literally less than a minute walk, but very quiet. Everyone there was super helpful. The owners Violeta and Adil were extremely accommodating, helpful, friendly and always available. We drove to Fes, and they had a porter take us and our bags from our parked car to their Riad. That was really helpful! They also recommended a guide for us. This was our best experience of the trip. He was very affordable ($55 USD for our entire family) and spent much longer than the specified time with us and even helped us barter for lower prices on the major items we purchased. The Riad was very comfortable and their cook, Ilham, cooked us 2 spectacular dinners. Breakfast included the usual tea, bread and preserves, but also eggs, which we really enjoyed.

My wife would have appreciated more light in the bathroom. I hear it’s helpful when putting on makeup:)

Specifically, we enjoyed the facility itself and the atmosphere created by the hosts. They were lovely and incredibly hospitable! The breakfast and dinner prepared by the Riad were fantastic and everything felt like you were part of the family. The information and reservations made by Dar Asama were excellent, particularly the tour guide (private guide Mohammad). The room was also very nice, with plenty of charging stations, comfortable beds, and great amenities (particularly the light fixtures). The hosts we interacted with, Violeta and Adil, were incredibly nice, helpful, friendly, and resourceful. We appreciated their ability to make our stay memorable!

Nothing to complain about.

Violeta was our host and went out of her way to be sure we were cared for. Breakfast was tailor made, with delicious array of breads, jams, yogurt, coffee, tea, eggs, etc. served on the terrace. We ordered a home cooked traditional dinner one night which was one of the best meals we had in Morocco. The sheets were soft, the towels were thick, and the bed was very comfortable. Hot water was always available. We accidentally left a personal document after we checked out and was notified by Violeta by email. She then mailed it to us on her own cost. Loved this Riad.

I liked everything, nothing to dislike.

Really great location in the old Medina in Fes in a restored historic home. Breakfast was very nice and dinner was good as well! Violeta was friendly and interesting to talk to. She even packed us snacks because we had to leave early and could t stay for breakfast. Very hospitable. She also arranged for a tour guide of the Medina. Her name was Fatima and she was fabulous. The best guided tour we had in Morocco! Ask for her.

The hostess, Violetta, is absolutely the best hotelier. This family run riad will do anything you need. We dined at the Riad one night, a dinner prepared by a sister-in-law, and it was great. She explained a lot things about Fes and arranged for a great tour guide of the medina and city. If you're looking to stay in the medina, this is the place to stay.

The Booking ad says "parking" is available but that's a bit of a stretch. There is parking, for a fee (cheap however) and it's a bit of a distance from the riad outside the medina. Violetta will arrange for someone to come get your luggage and show where the riad is. It's convenient.

A small riad very near the main Blue Portal of Fes. A bit hard to find at first, but Google maps and local youngsters will get you there. Co-owner Violeta and her husband have done an amazing job of renovating and her art work lines the walls. Excellent breakfast. There are more luxurious riads in Fes, but this is great value for money.

I thank all the Dar Arsama team for their warm welcome, for making me feel at home and taking such good care of me. Beautiful terrace with garden, delicious breakfast and the best dinner I've had in all of Morocco at a very good price. Everything very clean with a very personal and authentic decoration. The Riad is very quiet and it is also next to one of the main streets of the Medina, which makes visiting all the cultural sites of Fes very comfortable. If you get the chance book here at Dar Arsama.

Everything was great 👍

Situated in the middle of an UNESCO world heritage site providing a unique opportunity to do the tours within the ancient city. Repurposed building to a beautiful riad encapsulating a Moroccan experience with modern twist and a fabulous caretaker which cooks the best Moroccan food imaginable.

Nothing - everything is perfect

Wonderful food. Breakfasts we’re good and donner was outstanding, the best we had in Morocco. Nice rooftop dining area. The staff including the owner were very helpful in every way from meeting us outside the Medina and offering plenty of time to help us with our stay and information.

Our room needed more table space. Also an extra chair or two to sit. Both of these were available just outside our room in a semi-public space, so it was not a big issue.

Dar Arsama is a beautiful small riad in the heart of Fez medina. Run by a lovely couple that will make your stay a memorable experience. I definitely recommend the dinner at riad that is prepared by a local cook - a wide choice of menus with local dinners. Violeta took care of all our wishes (arranging airport transfer, guided tours, restaurant and hamam reservations). She even made a small surprise party for my birthday :)
