The room was great, very clean and comfortable. Great friendly staff with perfect communication, hospitality. Would definitely come back next time
Hospitality was excellent, staff were friendly. Hotel esthetically represents the architecture of Morocco. It is very cozy with beautiful ornate locals decorations. We enjoyed our start very much.
The location is close by to shopping and dining.
Excellent customer service. Very very helpful staff for everything we need assistance.
The reception and rooms are very clean.
Wonderful staff, beautifully decorated riad ,roof top terrace and rooms and tasty breakfast. Good location for access to taxis getting in and out of the medina.
We really enjoyed our stay! Staff was really kind and helpful! The welcomed us with mint tea and some delicious biscuits and provided us with lot of useful info about Fes! The location is close enough to the city centre and there's Bab Ziat closeby which is a convenient place to be dropped off/picked up by a car! The breakfast was really nice too and our room was quite clean!
This was a perfect for us. Great location close to markets and attractions. Best staff special mention of Imane who was most professional and helpful. Would definitely recommend it.
This riad is beyond expectations. The staff is so so kind and will do anything to make your time there comfortable. The food was delicious. Will recommend it to everybody ☺️
Experience was fantastic. Clean, comfortable, great staff, delicious breakfast.
Only issue is people will try to direct you into parking spots or garages. Your vehicle will be safe but its a hustle for money. There is a garage right next to the hotel that is less money.
If I'm in Fes again I will definitely be coming back.
Very nice place that showcases beautiful tile, stucco and wood work. It is cozy and very friendly. The hotel management assists every one with their travels regardless of whether they are in or out of the City. They connected us with a Fes tour guide that walked with us through out the City and he was really good. I would definitely return to this place.
We had a fantastic stay at this gem of a Riad. The staff were exceptionally welcoming, friendly and helpful. They kindly arranged our transport, shared lots of information with us and connected us with the best local guide Muhammed, with whom we had the best day! The Riad itself is absolutely gorgeous with so many authentic items framed all around like art pieces, which they absolutely are. The roof terrace with breath taking views, delicious breakfast and unlimited mint tea were such lovely bonuses! A very special thanks to the incredibly brilliant Imane, Yesmina and Muhammed!
During our vacation we traveled through Morocco and stayed in various hotels. The Dar Fes Medina Ziat was by far the best. The staff are very welcoming and heartwarming. Questions are listened to carefully and assistance with arrival or departure was also no problem. Not only the atmosphere of the staff but the entire accomodation makes you feel comfortable and happy to spend time there. The traditional tiles, the inner courtyard and the colorful windows in the rooms are just on of the many highlights.

Solid 4.5/5
Greeted nicely by the husband and wife duo. Very hospitable. After going out, there were a couple of times that the front door was locked and we weren't given the key to open it so had to knock to have someone open it. Breakfast is served on the roof which is nicely set up.
It’s the typical riad, with the lovely internal courtyard and all the wonderful decorations that make it feel authentic . The three people that work at the front desk are so helpful and nice. Truly nice to have their help .
The terrace for breakfast was lovely upstairs
And they prepare all their baked goods .
Also they have access to a Hammam nearby f or a relaxing service.
It’s easy to be dropped off by a taxi and be picked up for transportation . The only challenge is the walk to the Medina … you can use your phone for guidance because it’s easy to get lost . It was tricky returning back . But most places in Fez are that way. It’s not a dangerous place- it’s safe. It’s just that it’s hard to figure out all the small streets and turns.. But that’s part of the charm. Hotel was lovely , my room was beautiful
L’accueil est vraiment chaleureux. Le personnel est vraiment aidant pour organiser les visites et excursions. Le ménage est impeccable. Et surtout le petit-déjeuner est très copieux et vraiment délicieux
Otelin sokağına aracımızı park ettik. Güleryüzle karşılandık. Bir görevli Türkçe biliyordu. Çay ikram ettiler. Odalarımız hazırdı. Tarihi ve otantik bir otel. Kahvaltı servisi de başarılı. Biz memnun kaldık
