Fez hotellit lähellä University of Al-Karaouine

Plussat: Hosts and staff very helpful

Plussat: Perfect memory of the two nights in this hotel. The host Alex and Yesmine is so kindly and nice to us and we feel like living in our own house. And the dinner is fantastic which is much better than some famous restaurants in Fez.

Plussat: Everyone from the hotel were really welcoming and helpful. Love the decoration of the entire hotel. Hotel location were really convenient. Will consider to stay here again!

Miinukset: None.

Plussat: Le Calife is a beautifully restored Riad, with attention to every detail. It is a calm oasis in the Medina with kind, accommodating, and attentive staff, lovely rooftop views, and excellent Moroccan food and wine.

Plussat: Some of the best service I had at a hotel/accommodation, I arrived late, and they had dinner waiting for me and were able to arrange a last minute tour for the next day, when I was checking out they double and triple checked that my transportation was coming and all set. Very friendly. Great view from the rooftop overlooking the city from the terrace and restaurant.

Plussat: We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful riad thanks to Alex and his team. Everything was perfect. Hope to come back soon:)

Plussat: The staff were extremely helpful. The food was beautiful. All the spaces in the hotel were very beautiful and relaxing. The guides and trips they recommended were very good.

Plussat: The staff are very friendly and the owner Alex is really helpful and provide info that was really helpful.

Miinukset: Nil

Plussat: I can’t recommend this place enough. Just book now, you won’t regret it. We loved Alex & Yasmine, who run the place. The staff is incredibly nice and helpful. The place itself is gorgeous and makes you feel like you’ve been transported back in time. The view of the city from the rooftop terrace is the best. We’re dreaming of when we get to come back and stay longer.

Plussat: The welcome ritual (cool towels, mint tea and freshly baked cookies--so delicious). Our room, the Diamond Suite: large and sumptuous, it could have been in a period film. The beautiful view of the medina from the upstairs dining room (where breakfast is served) and the rooftop terrace. The warmth, attentiveness, and knowledge of the hosts, Alex and Yasmine. The gracious staff.

Miinukset: The music at breakfast: American soft pop / easy listening. Some kind of traditional Berber/Moroccan music would have been prefereable.

Plussat: Wonderful owners ..thank you Alex and Yasmine!!. Beautiful bedroom in traditional Moroccan style. Terrace with city views .

Plussat: stunning renovation-mint tea on roof terrace watching sunset over ancient medina-priceless!

Plussat: Excellent excellent excellent!! What more can I say. We loved our stay here. Everything was perfect. The Riad was so peacful and comfortable. The food was lovely. Thank you Yasmine for being so helpful. Sorry we didn`t meet Alex. Hope he got safely back from Paris.

Plussat: Very approachable and helpful proprietors of a beautifully preserved Riad in the medina.

Plussat: We loved the riad! It was like a calm oasis after the chaotic medina. Yasmine and Alex (and Darwin the dog) are unbelievably welcoming, friendly and helpful. They really want to share their love of Fes with you. Our room was lovely- spotless and comfortable. Every detail had been thought about and there were lots of personal touches. They arranged a guide for half a day for us which was great. The riad courtyard is beautiful and we often sat there early evening enjoying complimentary drinks and olives. We ate up on the roof terrace for two nights and the food was delicious - well worth it! Riad Calife was the highlight of our holiday to Morocco. If only we could have stayed longer!

Miinukset: The food was superb, but the portion sizes were a little overwhelming sometimes! I felt bad that I couldn't eat all my food! Other than that, everything was perfect!

Plussat: The Riad was beautiful and very well done. The rooms had everything you need. The owner was very nice and helpful. All staff were great. Breakfast was really good. The terrace had an amazing view.

Miinukset: The internet did not work very well in the hotel. The signal was not strong. The price for the room was high for being in a third world country.

Plussat: The owners were very nice and quite helpful. The staff was also very good. The location, terrace views and food were all excellent. Dinner was a bit pricy, but was really gourmet.

Plussat: Beautiful and recently renovated. Very clean and modern feeling despite its location in the old part of town. Alex and wife were very knowledgeable and hospitable.

Plussat: Owners were nice and very accomodating. Rooms were very clean, and riad was unique. Location was excellent and their remodel of the riad was top notch.

Plussat: The staff is very very kind. The place is really stylish and romantic. You have a marvellous view from the terrace on the ancient Medina. Don't miss it if you are heading to Fes!

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: -

Plussat: Friendly staff Spacious room Breakfast is really nice!!! Terrace with sunshine and nice view

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: 1. staff- Absolutely attentive, smilely face , super kind, always approached me first and greet/ asked how i am..etc. very helpful, organized, good manner. 2. room- very spacious for single traveller. Clean , clean , clean. comfortable bed, good lights, all amenities you need in bathroom.

Miinukset: nothing.

Plussat: The staff at Dar Anebar was fantastic: helpful, pleasant and generous. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful. The location was excellent and quiet. There is also a lovely terrace.

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

Miinukset: Well functioning AC

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: Nice room with a small private terrace.

Miinukset: Check the bathroom towels, ours were clearly dirty. Overpriced.

Plussat: Great decor. Good staff. Very good breakfast spread.

Miinukset: Location was good, but needs short walk with all luggage.

Plussat: The staff were amazing and dedicated to ensuring we had everything we needed. Abdul packed us lunches when we had an early start, made sure we were comfortable in our room and when my husband slipped and sprained his ankle, he carried him to a taxi so we could go to the hospital. The riad was beautiful and we had a gorgeous balcony area. It was very clean.

Miinukset: The location of the riad was far from the main mosques etc that me and my husband wanted of travel to.

Plussat: It was a big room for 2 people.

Miinukset: The room didn t have a fridge.

Plussat: Nothing than room itself. Room we stayed was fine however there was a weird unpleasant smell inside all the time.

Miinukset: Our experience with this hotel was horrible. It is said in their description that there is a traditional moroccan hammam and treatments in Riad. When we arrived Riad, receptionist said that hammam is broken and will not be fixed for weeks. When we called booking to complain about, suddenly it appeared that they have “hammam” working. Of course they made it up to avoid refund/cancellation. Later, when we wanted to take a hammam treatment, they took us to the dirty room with housekeeping/cleaning facilities inside and we were informed that the housekeeper of the hotel will do our hammam treatments. Ridiculous, not? In a short, this place is fraud! Even though it is called "riad and spa", they dont have proper facilities for spa and they are not transparent/honest about what facilities they have. Addition to that, the man worked in receptionist was very rude and it seemed he hated his job. He was completely unhelpful during our stay and could not accommodate any simple request we had. Breakfast was not fresh either and if you need to leave riad earlier than 8 am, they expect you not kindly ask but beg for early breakfast. Just note that, in any other riad we stayed in Morocco, we were given an early breakfast when we requested it day before.

Plussat: The staff were excellent. Good reception.

Plussat: Loved the beautiful patio with fabulous wall deco, furniture and fountain in the middle. Such a calm and relaxing space. The staff was very nice and helpful. The diner was delicious. Eating authentic food at an authentic atmosphere of this old riad is definitely part of Moroccan experiences, worthwhile trying. I fully recommend Riad Zamane.

Miinukset: No issue about this wonderful riad. — In the neighborhood, some youths / children idling at the street were sometimes noisy (including late at night) and annoying. This may be a common issue for many different riads located in the same street. (Though, we are foreign visitors and are allowed to stay in local people’s living space, so it is by no means intended to impose tourists’ comfort standards.)

Plussat: So very quiet to rest and Abdou went above and beyond with his service

Plussat: Friendly staff, rooms were clean, perfect location. Manager of Riad was super friendly and helped us a lot with our requests. Definetely recommend it for couples!!!

Plussat: Beautiful .....recommended outstanding guide

Miinukset: My room was quite High and a lot of steps...

Plussat: I liked the beauty of the building and its authenticity. They prepared us the breakfast to take away and I loved it. The staff is very kind and really tries hard to help.

Miinukset: I would improve the general conditions of the facilities to make it the experience as magical as it could be. I will make sure the information given to the guests is as transparent as possible.

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: The staff at the riad was very friendly and attentive at all times. Making the stay and all the arrangements. The breakfasts and dinners are also very good. Proximity products and good quantities.

Miinukset: The riad is very run down, clean. The rooms are small but very confotable.

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 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: Good atmosphere, good staff

Miinukset: The roof leaked. Happens I guess.

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: The lovely personal, they did our experience the best.

Miinukset: Everything was perfect!

Plussat: The riad is beautiful, it is very authentic, and yet very well maintained. Magnificent court. Super beautiful and romantic terrace. I slept perfectly well. The staff couldn't have been nicer! It's quite easy to find from place Rcif following the signs.

Miinukset: There was nothing to complain. When we arrived there was apparently construction next door. But they stopped, so there was no noise at all.

Plussat: We had two amazing staff members and we really got to know and connect with them. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful experience. Honestly we felt so welcome and right at home.

Miinukset: I do not think we have anything negative to say about the property. We did have to pay cash because the machine was not working day of and they had to hand write our receipt. It was not a huge deal, but if this is a common occurrence I could see how it would bother some travelers. I do feel it was a one off though.

Plussat: Breakfast was excellent. The location was perfect to explore the Medina. Staff members were hospitable and warm. The beauty of the Riad was exceptional. I would definitely recommend this Riad to others.

Miinukset: The gentlemen that came to meet our taxi did not have on any attire to indicate they were from the Riad and we were uncomfortable to follow them. Also, there were too many men standing and staring while we were eating. It felt uncomfortable to talk and enjoy our meal because of all the men standing around watching us.

Plussat: I was very well welcomed by Hassan with a mint tea and cakes. The room was very spacious and comfortable. The staff was very nice and breakfast was amazing. I had a Haman day and the lady was really lovely, professional and caring.

Miinukset: I miss tea and coffee facilities in the room. I felt very unsafe in the area and was scared to go out at night or get lost in the day time. In the morning, you should not be in a rush as it took the staff a very long time to get breakfast on the table (More than 30 min)

Plussat: Some of the best experiences I've ever had. We felt truly welcomed by the staff. They are very careful and helpful. The Riad itself is not only gorgeous but also very well maintained, into every detail. Very recommended.

Plussat: The riad itself is beautiful. The walls and decoration.

Miinukset: I saw the staff sleeping on a sofa near the reception, it makes me think that they work so much, like the whole day. The wifi to me was slow and the location felt a bit far and lonely.

Plussat: The staff were incredibly polite and attentive.

Miinukset: Our room was a quite tight in room space, around the bed. Unpacking 2 full-size luggages was a bit inconvenient.

Plussat: I loved this place. You walk through the door to amazing smiling faces. The staff was so nice and helpful especially Zach. The central are is stunning. My room was huge and everything was so clean.

Plussat: An amazing Riad with excellent facilities and staff and the breakfast was gorgeous. I highly recommend

Plussat: It was beautifully done up. An old renovated riad. As a solo female traveller, it wasn’t in the best position. I was told it would be better not to go out in the afternoon on my own. But it was my first experience in a riad and it was stunning.

Miinukset: The location wasn’t great for a female solo traveller.

Plussat: Riad very cozy and comfortable to discover Fes and its fantastic medina. The staff helped us to book a guide for the medina, the transfer to the airport and gave us many tips to visit the city. The rooms are clean, quiet and well furnished. Breakfast was excellent and hearty. Highly recommended!

Plussat: The location was the best thing. In just a few minutes of walking distance, you will reach almost all the things worth visiting in the Medina. Staff was very helpful and the place itself is really traditional which is exactly what we were looking for. The view when having breakfast at the top terrace was one of the best things.

Miinukset: We didn't necesarily liked the smell in the room and bathroom but that's just more of a personal thing . I'm sure most people will not have a problem with it. Overall it's a great place to stay for a few days.

Plussat: Fantastic staff, so friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious, good walking location to everywhere. An oasis from the busy streets of Rabat

Plussat: Great location because located a few meters from the front door of the medina, which makes it possible to find this Riad without getting lost. The staff is friendly and helpful, the rooms are splendid, especially those on the terrace. The breakfast is simply excellent and full of local specialties. The view of the heart of the medina is also amazing!

Plussat: the guy in the reception accompnaied us at 6 o clock in the morning to the taxi stand to be sure that the taxi was there. ( about 4 min walk ) . so very nice of him "part of my job , no problem ". this is outstanding service. taxi cab to the airport also perfect. the roof terrace is magnificent because of the vieuw and the Sunset moments…. like the picture !

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: 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: It is a perfect location in the medina near the main square R'ciff. We had breakfast and dinner at the Riad which were delicious. They also organized a tour guide who helped us not to get lost in the medina and visit the important places. Everybody was super helpful and kind. We would 100% recommend this place.

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..
