Fez hotellit lähellä Kairaouine Mosque

Plussat: Hosts and staff very helpful

Plussat: Le Calife is exceptional in all regards. Exquisite architecture and design makes the establishment so beautiful it belongs in a magazine. The room was large with gorgeous stained glass windows and very comfortable. The owners Alexandre and Yasmin are genuine and eager to ensure your stay in Fez is perfect; they assisted us whenever we needed anything and we wish we could have brought them along on the rest of our Morocco trip! Le Calife is located about 5 minutes in the Medina, which means the old town and its charm are just outside the door; but you're also a short walk to the taxi square (no cars in the Medina) to explore other parts of town. The rooftop terrace has gorgeous views of the Medina and surrounding hills. The rooftop restaurant makes the most delicious breakfasts! There are plenty of Riads in Fez, stop trying to decide where to book, and just stay here - you will NOT be disappointed.

Miinukset: everything was perfect here!

Plussat: We have arrived after a long trip from chefchaoun. Mohammed the bellboy guided us and carried our luggage all the way to the Riyad. We entered to an amazing place where Yasmin and Mariam welcomed us warmly and explained all the details that we need for our trip in Fes Our room Amber room and it was amazing ( good for two) and on the ground floor opposite to an amazing small garden and terrace. The room and amenities should be categorized as 5 stars.Despite the noisy old city, we were totally isolated in a quiet and serene place. The next morning we met Alex who insisted that someone should escort us to our driver as he wanted to ensure we don’t go lost or no one fools us. He even offered us a cell phone to keep in touch. Don’t miss this place!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The riad is really beautiful, we discovered new details of the amazing decoration every day. It is almost a shame to stay in this riad and then spend most of the time out in the city. But what really makes a difference is the super friendly staff. Yasmine and Alex organized everything perfectly, they also have a very good guide for the medina walking tour.

Miinukset: Nothing, we were very happy with our choice. Would definitely visit the riad again.

Plussat: Everything about Riad Le Calife was outstanding. Our hosts, Alex and Jasmine, did an outstanding job of arranging for transfers and a tour of the medina. This Riad provided a wonderful, peaceful place of refuge from the hustle and bustle of the Fez medina. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay.

Miinukset: No changes - this place was excellent!

Plussat: Everything was top notch. Lovely welcome with hot towels, tea and cookies. The room (Amber room) was beautiful, well equipped, super clean and so comfortable. Breakfast was delicious, as was the vegetarian dinner they cooked for us the first night. The riad itself is stunning. A calm oasis in the middle of the busy Fez Medina. It’s in a quiet location but close to a square from which it is usually easy to get a taxi which makes is easy to navigate around the city. The staff of the riad deserves a special shoutout. Everybody is so very friendly. The owners Alex and Yasmine were always happy to give us tips on how to get best from A to B, where to go for dinner an so on. They also organised two tours for us, to Meknes/Volubilis as well as a Fez Medina tour. All in all it was a truly wonderful stay.

Plussat: Closes to Medina walking distance.

Plussat: Everything was excellent and the staff were extremely friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The airline lost my luggage on my trip in, and my host even offered to loan me clothes from his own wardrobe for the meantime! I really enjoyed my time there, and it's truly a great place to stay.

Plussat: Very helpful staff and fabulous food

Plussat: Location.

Plussat: The owner went above and beyond helping us book transportation to our next location. His helpfulness combined with the staff’s friendliness and immaculate room made this a wonderful stay. The breakfast every morning was superb. Location could not be beat - just steps from the Medina.

Plussat: The Riad has a lot of character, staff are very friendly and helpful. Easy place to stay

Plussat: I love Riad Ahlam. This was my second stay. They made me feel like family. Superb welcome. Excellent staff. Perfect location. Best dinner in Marocco. Breakfast very delicious. Kacem and all staff very lovely. See you soon Riad Ahlam!!!

Miinukset: -

Miinukset: nothing.

Plussat: great location，staff are very helpful and a very good breakfast。

Plussat: Beautiful riad and good location. Great view of the medina from the roof terrace. It’s just inside the medina and near a parking lot which is just outside the medina. It only takes 10 minutes by foot to be in the center of the medina.

Plussat: The rooms are spacious but the air conditioning not functioning well .

Miinukset: Well functioning AC

Plussat: So friendly and helpful. One night Ahmed picked us up to our reserved restaurant that was so kind and we are thankful for this. In good location and very nice traditional place.

Plussat: My husband and I stayed here during our 5-day trip to Fez and loved it, very calm and relaxing place and the staff is so amazing. They were some of the friendliest people we met during our 2-month journey in Morocco. Breakfast is lovely, and the location makes it very easy to reach the Blue Gate and other attractions via taxi (no getting lost finding your way through the medina, unless of course you want to ;)). Wifi was good for us digital nomads, our room was cleaned regularly, and I can't stress enough how awesome the staff were - we felt like they were family by the time we left. Thank you so much Dar Anebar, we will never forget you!!! Best wishes from Carly & Luke

Plussat: Everything

Plussat: The staff are friendly and helpful. The environment is clean and beautiful. I can feel the way of arabian family lives in this house. The breakfast is great, a very satisfied breakfast.

Miinukset: We had 2 people, if our room can have 2 chair for each of us, it would be better.

Plussat: This Riad (hotel) is located close to the edge but within the old city (Medina) – it requires assistance to access, as taxis and other wheeled vehicles have no direct access. The Riad will arrange to meet your taxi at the closest main gate. It features a beautiful atrium, three stories in height, and onto which all the rooms have a direct outlook. There is also a roof terrace with recreation area and good views of the city. While there is no elevator, the obliging staff are only too willing to carry your suitcases to your room. A traditional breakfast is included in the tariff, and a limited-menu dinner can also be provided at an additional charge if desired. The proprietor, Ahmed, is friendly and obliging. For example, he arranged to purchase a train ticket for me so that I did not need to make a special trip to the train station (online ticket purchases seem to be restricted to those with a Moroccan credit card). The free wi-fi worked well, and the rooms were elegant and charming, with an old-world, Arabic ambience. Ahmed also arranged for an English-speaking Guide for me, as it would be impossible to negotiate the narrow streets, lanes and alleyways of the Medina without a Guide. Fortunately, the Medina in Fez does not permit wheeled vehicles of any kind (except small trolleys), which is a great advantage over the equivalent precinct in Marrakech, where you take your life into your hands as the sometimes fast-moving scooters etc. negotiate their way around obstacles such as pedestrians! Fez uses donkeys and mules to transport heavier loads through the streets and laneways of the Medina (beware the manure).

Miinukset: I did find, however, that the lighting level in my room was a bit too low for functional requirements. My only criticism was that my Guide appeared to be nothing more than a tout for various tourist venues and retail establishments. At every stop, I was passed over to a merchant who started doing a sales pitch. I told the Guide I wasn't really interested in buying tourist souvenirs, but he took no notice (he's probably on a commission).

Plussat: Amazing friendly staff. Beautiful riad. Call the staff to help you with your bags and find the location!

Plussat: Lovely Riad. Staff friendly. Nice breakfast. Good place to explore the medina from. Easy taxi ride to blue gate

Miinukset: Twin room in annex was small. Shower small. No chairs. Comfortable beds though

Plussat: This Riad is absolutely stunning, pure luxury right in the heart of the medina, the building blew me away, stunning interiors, beautiful rooftop view right over the whole medina, incredible to watch the sun rise and set from here, and most of all the staff were amazing.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Love the common areas. The riad is beautiful! Don’t like that the rooms have no Moroccan flare. We missed that a little bit. The dinner menu in the hotel could be a bit more varied. Seems a little limited.

Plussat: the riad is really beautiful, the bed is comfortable, the staffs are great especially the ones who send breakfast to our room.

Plussat: The staff were great, we had the pleasure of having a cooking class with the chef which was an amazing experience and would highly recommend to everyone. The rooftop was also exceptional.

Plussat: Roof terrace was lovely and the staff were very happy. Staff make a good cocktail.

Miinukset: You have to make sure you have a room with a balcony or terrace if that is what you have requested. Our suite didn't have a balcony or terrace as expected. The food wasn't Relais Chateau standard.

Plussat: The staff were very cheerful and attentive. The room was beautiful, stayed in an Ambassador which was very very spacious then a standard for a night.Armchair in that room very uncomfortable. The roof top terrace had a cool breeze and great view of old city. Comfortable seating also service from 1pm very good. Had tasty lunch and drinks. Bear in mind lots and lots of steps to over come if you have anything wrong with your knees like my wife

Miinukset: Restaurant chairs not very inviting , ok for breakfast but not for a relaxing meal. Food certainly didn't have the wow factor you would expect from a Relais Chateau Hotel. Musician was very good for your first night but a little same same the next.

Plussat: The riad was great and the location was good since it was in a quieter part of the Medina. Since the riad was in the outer part of the Medina, it was easier to find a parking spot for the car which is great for travellers who are doing a roadtrip through Morocco.

Miinukset: No credit cards were accepted in the facility

Plussat: Very beautiful Moroccan riad with a pool where we enjoyed our bath. Nice and friendly staff,big and clean rooms, great location and sufficient and tasty breakfast!

Miinukset: Everything was great!

Plussat: The Riad was gorgeous and the views from the rooftop of the medina were amazing. Staff was very friendly and helped organize tours for us, and special takeaway breakfast packages.

Miinukset: The location was to be as expected, in the heart of section in the Medina where a lot of locals live. We had done research so knew to expect the crazy hustle and bustle, but it is still quite an intense experience.

Plussat: Staff is really amazing, helpful and friendly!

Miinukset: There were some cockroaches found on the room (one of the most expensive ones)

Plussat: We had a very large room with a separate reading are and a second bedroom with two beds. Private access to the terrace with gorgeous views of Fes. Breakfast was absolutely lovely. Lots of food, fresh and hot

Miinukset: Amount of smoking inside is almost unbearable. Not used to that in North America

Plussat: The room was a great size with a massive bath and upstairs sitting room. The rooftop area was fabulous a great place to drink a glass of wine looking at Fes. The staff were friendly, and competent and took good care of us.

Miinukset: Smoking in the common inside area - dining area just outside our room.

Plussat: The athmosthefere and staff was top notch. The riad is well preserved with beutifull decoration and astonishing terrace with an excellent owericiew of the Medina. All the staff are super friendly and will try to setisfy all your needs.

Miinukset: More a comment then anything else. The riad is on the far side of Medina, which is a little off the touristic side. Also don't expect a five star hotel expirence with the cleanlines and facility's but an authentic experience.

Miinukset: The pool / water of the pool was not clean so we didn't feel comfortable to make children play in it.

Plussat: If judging by looks alone, it was pretty.

Miinukset: As soon as we walked in, the staff began pressure-selling us on different experiences for an additional cost — before even giving us a WiFi code or information about breakfast or checkout timing. They described their own city as dangerous (specifically warning us against people who would arrange overpriced tours of Fes — exactly what they offer at the riad). We had to repeatedly insist on wanting to find our own restaurant for dinner instead of taking a hired car to a restaurant of their choosing for a set cost. They sold us a tour of the old medina for 10€ a person, insisting this was the only way to successfully see the old town, but set us up with a guide who barely spoke a full sentence of English and had trouble walking up the cobbled stairs of Fes. The tour didn’t show us anything we couldn’t have found ourselves and led to more pressure selling from the leather salesmen in the famous tanneries. In fact, the tour began with the guide telling us we should bring our credit cards to use at the shops where he’d negotiate prices for us. We ended the tour half way through with awkward resistance. We would understand if we felt there was a genuine desire to help facilitate our sightseeing, but while they were very willing to book a private car to destinations of their choice, they were unwilling to book us a cab to where we wanted to go — even just to the centre of the medina. Instead of giving us any useful information, they tried to scare us off the idea of going outside, telling us repeatedly that we might get “trafficked”. Once we finally convinced them that we could handle ourselves in Fez, we began to enjoy our experience of the city. It’s a real shame that they felt they had to do it down, apparently just to make some extra money in commission. To us it just felt like we were being scammed, and we were relieved to check out.

Plussat: Location Friendly staff Facility decor Room was changed to a city view (better than mountain view)

Miinukset: Rundown Furniture needs upgrade No tomato Juice to make bloody mary's :-)

Plussat: The twin beds are comfortable although a little small. The staff is professional and pleasant. That make all the difference in a hotel like this. Location, location, location! Strongly recommend a drink on their terrace. The view is breathtaking!

Miinukset: The salmon furniture has to change at some point. Not enough TV channels, English /or French channels with something other than news would be nice. The frame of the doors are pealed off in the edges.

Plussat: Beautiful hotel the scene is amazing hotel is clean smells good friendly staff

Miinukset: Nothing really

Plussat: MEHDI and MOUBTAHIL really did good job help me , they are very nice

Plussat: It was nice and set on its own grounds.

Miinukset: Far from everywhere and you have to walk far to get a taxi or get the hotel to call you one who will then charge you an extortionate price.

Plussat: Thank you for the kind attentions

Plussat: Beautiful terrace. Our Nezha room had an exit directly to her. Very peaceful place. The children enjoyed sightseeing, breakfast and free running. The square, mosques, souks... are in the immediate vicinity. Parking is 10min away. Because we slept only for one night, we took with us only the most urgent tings. Since Ramadan all the restaurants was closed during the day, but we still enjoyed roaming. People are not intrusive.

Miinukset: The only bad thing was clogged bath in the bathroom.

Plussat: We loved the terrace , waking up with the sunset and the beautiful view that you get from there was simply amazing . The position is just perfect !

Miinukset: Some communication

Plussat: Stayed 5 nights in what is likely their nicest room, top floor with windows and private bath. It was still awful.

Miinukset: Complete scam. Do not stay here. Sleeping here was like sleeping in a snake pit. Staff tries to con you out of money at every turn. When we left, we tried to pay the city tax and laundry etc with a credit card, about 75 euro total--they refused to take it screamed at us, then threatened to call the police on us. We eventually were able to pay them in cash, just like they wanted, and then they still sent us a bill for 250 euro. This was only the last and worst thing that happened. They also lied to us and said there was no bus to Ifrane and the only way to go was by booking a tour with them. Turns out, there are buses, and we wound up taking a grand taxi very easily. They also recommended we book an official guide for the city--though them of course, at a high price-- which was supposed to be 3-4 hours long and provide a history of the area. We booked the tour--but it only lasted 2 hours, and consisted entirely of being walked in circles through a very small portion of the Medina, and being taken to stores where we were expected to buy things we did not want. When we told them that the tour was short and all shopping, they said well it sounds like he took you through the medina and did all he was supposed to do. Well, that's not how they sold it initially. The bathroom also smells HORRIBLE--they told us that we should close the shower drain because people have complained before. We closed the drain. Still smelled disgusting, and leached all through our room (we even opened the windows, to no avail). The mattresses are very hard and uncomfortable--feels like you are sleeping only on a box spring. The internet was in and out--at one point, staff noticed that I was trying to make a call but that the call kept dropping. She told me that it was actually my fault because their internet doesn't work with Mac computers. Complete nonsense. Basically, this Riad treats you like a little idiot and tries to suck money out of you at every turn.

Plussat: I enjoyed the terrace and the view over the medina.

Plussat: Staying in a typical Moroccan building had a special charm. Compliments to the staff for the friendliness and good tips for exploring the surroundings. Breakfast on the terrace overlooking the entire old medina was a wonderful start of the day.

Plussat: Kareem who works on the reception is so warmful and without his helpness I was very hard time I could spent becuz I was sick Many stress but he helped me out..

Miinukset: Personel not nice, we booked room with the breakfast, but we didn't get breakfast - this was big problem- staff even started shouting at us. We lost a lot of time because of that. Bathroom is old and was dirty, we didn't have hot water. We were really mad and disapointed. I do NOT reccomend this Riad.
