Fez hotellit lähellä University of Al-Karaouine

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: Every single corner of the beautiful Le Calife has been paid meticulous attention to. It is clear that the owners are passionate about Moroccan culture, design, antiques and overall immaculate decor. I was incredibly impressed not only with the design of the common spaces and the rooms, but every person who worked there was overwhelmingly helpful and kind. Alex and Yasmine are the most gracious owners and hosts and helped me navigate Fes as a solo female traveler. I’d go back in a heartbeat.

Plussat: The location, the charming decor and the exceptionally friendly/helpful staff. The owners are invested in guests having a great stay. Even provide a local phone preprogrammed with their number in case you need help when out. Highly recommend if you are looking for a Riad experience.

Plussat: Beautifully decorated boutique hotel with great attention to detail. Lovely owners and staff who went above and beyond to ensure we had an excellent time in Fes. Fantastic breakfast with a view!

Plussat: The location is only a short walk away from the center of the medina and all of the artisan quarters. The room was very inviting and comfortable. Alex and Yasmine were very helpful in explaining some of the history of Fes and giving us recommendations for sightseeing and restaurants. Overall, the entire staff made sure we had a comfortable, safe, and fun stay in Fes!

Miinukset: Nothing!

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

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

Plussat: The breakfast and dinner are delicious , the roof top bar offers an excellent view of Fes, we enjoyed the staying very much !

Plussat: Everything was just perfect. The staff, the food, the atmosphere, the facilities and the hospitality.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: One of the best riads in Fes! Walking distance to the souks and the place itself is breathtaking. Thank you for upgrading our room for our anniversary Ridzuan! ♥️ we were welcomed with a room full of rose petals and champagne! You guys are amazing!

Plussat: Beautiful decoration, helpful staffs who are so welcoming and always smile. Room is clean, beautiful and spacious. Good location

Miinukset: Wifi in our room doesn’t work at all and is slow even in the lobby. It’s quite common in Morocco not to have wifi in the room but a 5 star hotel could have improved it? Breakfast is nice but very expensive considering the market rate

Plussat: Beautiful hotel with stunning view of the Médina. Suite was comfortable/ warm and spacious Love the courtyard with swimming pool. Breakfast and food from room service were above our expectations Overall would choose this place again for my next visit to Fes

Miinukset: WiFi could be better

Plussat: The hotel is ok but nothing to write home about. The first patio is nice and the view from the terrace also.

Miinukset: It is a bit out of the action and taxi is needed to get around. I forgot 2 night dress and called the hotel but was told that no one found them... My cousin and I had to doble check everytime we changed money as some change was always missing. Bad smell from the bathroom. Food ok but quite regular

Plussat: Beautiful room, wonderful breakfast

Miinukset: The room was in front of the pool, it made a bit of noise during the night

Plussat: He staff was extremely helpful. They gave us their maps, extra water, called for reservations and taxis. The location was perfect. We had an amazing breakfast.

Miinukset: I did not like the guide they sent for. He took us to all the places he got a cut for. For a guide he was ok but we got tired of getting taken advantage of.

Plussat: Excellent suites room. Very friendly staff. Definitely recommend this hotel.

Plussat: Typical Morrocan style, loved it. The staff was very nice and accomodating.

Plussat: The hotel is a 19th century palace that took 4 years to restore to its current opulent beauty. It is little like a fortress as well so you don't want for security which is important in Africa. I visited Morocco as a student, did the tour and have returned reassured that Fez and its medina is the jewel of Moroccan destinations although I'm yet to visit Casablanca and have stayed away from the Sahara. We flew direct from Stansted to Fez, were collected by one of the hotel drivers and returned a few nights later. £25 each way. Every request and move we made outside the hotel was (if we wanted) managed by the concierge service - possibly the most competent concierge service I've come across. The hotel restaurant is very good. Only eclipsed by MB restaurant in the Ville Noveau but we'd tired of the Moroccan spice palette by then and wanted something with a little more "northern med coast" influence.

Miinukset: Breakfast was a little poor for a vegan but if I'd been more awake at breakfast time I'm confident they'd prepared pretty much anything for me. What they did instead was deliver my breakfast tea (with soya milk), juice and toast to my room as part of the inclusive breakfast. Two visits one morning! Even in Morocco you can't expect an outdoor pool to be warm in January. So I'm struggling to find a complaint. There is one hotel in Fez that is more expensive than Palace Faraj. I'm wondering how its an improvement. Maybe it has an indoor pool or the floor mosaics might be marginally smoother. Nothing to do with the hotel but watch out for rug salesmen. They spoilt our shopping experience by being so pushy. They lost the biz for it and - we snapped up a £2k lamp for £500 instead! The hotel helped me wrap it properly for air travel. Finally - Palace Faraj - send your cocktail waiters on a refresher course. They already have some recipes down. We can't expect everything, even at a destination hotel like yours. But I'm struggling to think what you could improve. Stirred not shaken gentlemen!

Plussat: The Riad itself was lovely and located in a convenient location. However, the customer service was beyond anything I’ve ever experienced. The young manager Simo paid attention to our every need. He made our stay the highlight of Fes.

Plussat: Very central location and walking distance. seemo our host was amazing thank you very much for such an amazing stay and gave such great advice and assistance when traveling! View from terrace was breathtaking

Miinukset: Parking a bit distant from the hotel

Miinukset: Breakfast wasn't good.

Plussat: Simo was really nice and caring. He gave us directions to go around the city and offered and amazing tea all the time. The best was really comfy and the room quite big. Breakfast was really tasty.

Miinukset: The bathroom was a little bit dirty. The Riad is a bit far from the main touristic part.

Plussat: Simo, the young man that runs the riad, is the best host ever. Polite, kind, helpful, we loved him! He took us to the restaurants, to the hammam, he offered us mint tea. Could not thank him enough. Τhe riad is in a perfect location, very close to the old town (medina). The inner courtyard where you can sit and have breakfast is impressive. Very nicely decorated with traditional Moroccan architecture. We had the upper room with internal windows which I think is the best room of the riad. Spacious, beautifully decorated too, just lovely!

Miinukset: Riads are old houses and they would definitly use a renovation. Also if you think it is not clean enought just tell Simo. He will ask the lady to clean again or change sheets if you are not satisfied. If there are other guests it can be a bit noisy but that is how riads are made. An inner courtyard and rooms around. It is difficult to make sound insulation so I think it is a problem that you will have everywhere.

Plussat: Very friendly staff that will help you with everything you need. Riad is beautiful and the roof terrace has a splendid view. Good location and good breakfast!

Miinukset: No windows in the room so it was hard to ventilate. Showerhead did not function well. Also the bed/pillows were a bit old and not the most comfortable.

Plussat: A beautiful riad with the best rooftop terrace for tranquil sunsets. Just moments from the medina, a great location only 1min hidden from the main road for easy taxis around Fes. A huge thank you to the lovely hosts Simo and Hamza who were so friendly and made the stay an absolute pleasure, as if it were their home. Great value for money.

Plussat: Gret location, right at the entry to Medina. Cozy and traditional Morrocan style. The best thing was Simu, the gut that works there. He was really helpful.

Plussat: Great staff, great location, wonderful riad. Very nice breakfast. Very helpful and accomodating.

Miinukset: There was a smell which may be attributed to the tanneries in the area, but it was pervasive.

Plussat: Our experience over there began meeting Simo, THE MOST helpful host we have met in Morocco! Room was spacious and clean. Breakfast was good (Moroccan standard). Location is on Place Rcif, few minutes drive from the blue gate but with great access to the market.

Plussat: Beautiful riad, nice and comfortable room.

Miinukset: Poor communication prior to stay. I booked a taxi from the station with the riad, but the taxi never showed up. Note that the riad cannot be reached by car and the final part of the journey will have to be made by foot. I was also presented with a bill at the end of my stay which was much higher than merely tax.

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: Arriving in Fez I was a little worried as a woman travelling alone, but Dar Tahiti Did every to make me feel comfortable and safe. Arranging a taxi from the station and meeting me at the drop off point out side the media to guide me to the raid. The interior is traditional and the detailing amazing, the rooftop terrace is the perfect place to rest after a day walking the crazy media. Located near the blue gate off the property is easy to find in the maze of Fez

Plussat: This is a great place. Location is fantastic. Rooms are big and spacious. Amazing hot shower! Excellent moroccan breakfast. From the time we got there until the time we left we were treated like family by Aziz. He took care of every single detail and more. He met us at taxi drop off area, helped us with bags, arranged guided tour and made us feel at home. He even offered to arrange for a home cooked meal because we were arriving late that night. Thank you Aziz. We will never forget your kindness and hospitality.

Miinukset: I liked everything!

Plussat: the riad is simply amazing, the location is great and the property is beautiful, the room is very big and tastefully furnished. it is so classy! the breakfast is huge and tasty super quality. worth to mention that the staff is super friendly and helpful. definitely recommended!

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Very dirty, only cash, can’t pay by card, towels are very dirty with dust and prints of other people. Place on market. Can’t recommend.

Plussat: Great breakfast! The mangers is nice and let us choose the room. The room is clean and quiet when good air conditioning. The bathroom is spacious with sufficient hot water supply. The common Hall is nice and beautiful for some leisure moments.

Plussat: The location of the hotel was very convenient. It was located very close to the Blue Gate and we were able to walk to all the Souks from here plus have access to taxis. It's about a 5-10 min ride to the train station. The staff was also very nice and answered any questions we had. The complimentary breakfast was so very filling and a great way to start the day. We also originally had 4 people coming on the vacation but ended up have 6, for a fee the hotel was able to accommodate us in the same room. They also had a nice terrace with a decent view of the city.

Plussat: The Dar Tahri and its owners were always very attentive and friendly. The rooms were impeccable and also the courtyard and the roof terrace were very nice. Although the riad is located in the middle of the Médina of Fès, which means in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the souk, as soon as you entered it, there is absolute quietness and you can recover from the exhausting stroll through the alleys. All in all, it is very recommendable to spend one or two nights here!

Miinukset: all good!

Plussat: This is a very nice Riad: beautifully decorated with beautiful touches. It’s the only place we stayed in Morocco that had a really modern-looking renovated bathroom with well-functioning fixtures and a nice big bathtub. Water was hot for all showers except 1 which was almost hot enough. Our room was gorgeous: a suite with curtained-off bedroom, sitting room, and large bathroom. The rooftop terrace was beautiful with great views of the city, and both covered and open areas. The breakfasts were very good and plentiful, but it didn’t start till after 9am which is a bit late to get going on your day. It’s much more of a HOTEL atmosphere as opposed to a HOME, but the staff is very efficient and helpful with anything you many need. When we had to leave early on the last day they kindly provided breakfast for us earlier than normal.
