A simple continental breakfast was included, and happily consumed each morning, with a huge variety of locally made breads and jams. The chef was exceptional, so we dined in every night, and worked our way through the menu. It was a lovely, comfortable place to hang out through the heat of the day, and the staff even packed us a takeaway breakfast when we had to leave at 3.30am for an early flight. Our room was huge and the decor throughout the hotel was stunning.

The bathroom drain was a bit smelly sometimes, but as we were in the oldest part of Fes (8th century?) I guess that was hardly surprising! I will return when the roof garden has been refurbished - the view was spectacular!

The Riad is absolutely stunning. The seating area in the courtyard is beautiful. They also serve sheesha/huqqa here at any time. Breakfast was decent.

The bed was uncomfortable. Our double bed was basically two mattresses joined together with gap in the middle. Bed linen is not comfortable to sleep on. Pillows were really uncomfortable too. We decided to move to another Riad for our remaining days in Fes just because of the bed. It's such a shame because everything else was amazing.

unfortunately there is noting much to like about this riad. we had a forgotablle experience at this riad.

There is lot to not like about this riad. The location to begin with, its in a very shoddy corner of the medina and very difficult to find with loads of anti social elements waiting there to mis guide you. they switched off the wifi and the life on weekdays at 09 PM and on weekends at 10 PM. (absolutely shocking, never seen such a setup any where else). they said the hot water in the rooms is available only after 07 am and but it runs the whole day, which was also a lie, there was no hot water in the evenings too. the room given to us was also not what we booked, but another room which had layers of dust over the surface of the furniture. the bathroom was very small and had no curtains, there the water would spill over to entire bathroom area making it difficult for the second person to go and have a shower. over all a big disappointment.
