My husband and I only had one night in Fes on our honeymoon, but it was very memorable thanks to Riad Fes Baraka. The riad itself is beautiful and clean, and our room (the Berbère suite) was cozy and quiet despite being right next to the pool and courtyard. What especially made our stay great was Samir's hospitality. He welcomed us with incredible Moroccan mint tea, organized a medina guide for us last minute, and went above and beyond when we asked him to take a few photos of us in the riad. We were sad to leave so soon, and would definitely stay here again should we make it back to Fes in the future.

The only thing we didn't like was that we didn't have more time here! Nothing negative to say.

Quiet location and beautiful property. Food was good and the riad is well maintained. We aware travelling with children 8 and 9 yrs old and we enjoyed the stay here. Vegetarian food options is available and very nice pizzeria is at stones throw. We had booked for 1 night stay but after reaching Fes we decided to extend our stay in Fes for 1 one day, this Riad did not have room available so Samir took extra care to make sure we found another one, he invited us to use the pool even after our checkout - our children were very happy because they could swim after a long walking day in Fes and he personally came to drop us to our next riad - he is extremely caring. Would definitely recommend this peaceful riad.

I loved the way Samir was looking after me and explaining everything in his ability, Thank you Samir, like nearby food options and even calling and helping me place an order. We both spoke over some late night check in dinner and he shared places I could visit. I had to leave for an excursion next morning so I had a rushed breakfast which the lady made early for me, taste was unique and juice was freshly squeezed oranges. I was moved to a smaller room which I preferred as a solo traveller. The place has heritage and culture. The open riad pool roof meant listening to beautiful thunders on my first night. I ate most my day eve meals from cinema cafe restaurant, the guy always walked me back to my riad. The fez medina shopping was decent but you have to do some friendly barter here compared to Chefchaouen.

Not a fault just if I could speak maybe more Arabic or French then maybe staff can understand me better. Staff are bilingual in Arabic, French, Deutch or Spanish. So it’s fair that we learn some basic communications norms.my second room my bathroom was not in my room. So was a little tricky in the dark navigating stairs finding lights to get to it. Dropping keys in the night I felt I would disturb other guests so I tried to avoid using bathroom. A bit more about facilities on site would be good, like signage or imagery in rooms. Could do with interior upgrade but still very nice. Thank you.

This Riad is just lovely. A real hidden gem. The calm courtyard with the pool and beautiful architecture was a joy. Our room was warm and inviting and the bed was really comfy. Plenty of space to relax. The staff were so lovely, even making us a picnic breakfast when we had to leave early to get a coach to Chefchaouen. The food was great anyway! We had dinner there the first night and it was delicious. I've also started putting cumin on my eggs at home so a little part of this enchanting place has now rubbed off in Devon!!

This is not a criticism at all and we knew the set up before we arrived but having our bathroom across the landing was tricky for me, just because I am not steady on my feet and negotiating a series of little down and up steps in the middle of the night was interesting lol!

The location was very convenient close to all amenities. 5 mins walk to the main square which is also a pick up point for tour guides in and out of Fes. It was 5-10 min walk to the Blue Gate which is old medina and the main bazaar. The staff at the Riad were amazing and very helpful. Collection from the airport was free, at arrival to the Riad we were greeted with mint tea and biscuits , and allowed to check in early! Massage and Hammam is also available at the Riad reasonably priced and it was good! Staff was very helpful answered all our questions and provided exceptional customer service. On our last day, we had to leave early morning before the breakfast start time and the staff accommodated us by providing us with an early breakfast!! We had a wonderful experience at this Riad!

Don’t really have anything negative to say other than the pool temperature was not regulated so the water was always cold even with 30 degree outside temperature so couldn’t really enjoy it. The rooms were dark with very low light but then again perhaps that’s how all Riads are not sure as it was our first experience in one.

Zaidi Samir, the manager, made sure we were well take care of for our entire (albeit brief!) stay. He reached out before our arrival and helped us arrange for a seamless arrival to the riad. Upon arrival, Samir received us with the utmost hospitality and accommodation - even though we were on a very tight timeline as we had an appointment for soon after our check in! Seeing how short our stay was, he offered to help set us up with a guide for the next day and transport to the train station for our departure. Everything was as Samir promised - our guide, Mohammed, was everything we could’ve hoped for. Prompt, informative, warm & ever the professional - we learned so much from him in just one morning, and wish we had more time. The breakfast was freshly made and delicious. The view of the courtyard pool alongside the decadent traditional furnishings made for a luxurious morning experience For first-time visitors, it’s helpful to note that you’ll need to be let in for entry to the riad. It made our stay feel much more secure.

Nothing stood out as a negative - for US travelers, it’s helpful to bear in mind that this is a property with much history and should be respected.

Samir, Julia and Ali were the best of the best, truly incredible service everyday. Samir made sure we had a guide the first day in the Medina and scheduled drivers and day trips for us. Julia was so nice and helped us with laundry. The Riad is truly beautiful. We loved eating breakfast and dinner in the courtyard by the pool. This place is a real gem in Fès. Perfect place to relax and get away from the crowds of the Medina.

The hotel is very beaituful inside. Breakfast was very good. We saw some people having the dinner which also looked good, but we usually came late so we didnt have it. The swimming pool is very good and refreshing after a warm walk through the Medina. People were friendly and helpful. If you clme by car, there are public parking areas just around the Riad, there is no need to park on the street in front which is very caotic and sometimes people ask for money. We left our car 2 night witihout any problem. In Google Maps you can see some suggested points where to park around.

The Riad is so beautiful our 4 people room was very nice with a big bathroom. The breakfast was very good and different between the 2 days of staying. The dinner had big portions and they were super careful with the gluten free options. We used the hamam service and the massage, wow what an experience. We loved it. There was also wine options. The location was very good in my opinion just outside the medina so felt safe and close to bar and atm spots.

Absolutely nothing

We had the best stay at this riad! The hosts were so kind and in communication with us well before our arrival. Parking was very easy and the host met us to walk us the rest of the way to the riad. The room was beautiful and very clean. Dinner was great as well. The hosts were kind enought to arrange us a guide for our day in Fez and they couldn't have chosen a better person; we had the absolute best day!! Great location close to taxis and waking to the medina. We had the best stay and would definitely return!
