Was upgraded twice for free. Ended up on the honeymoon suite. The pool is small but perfect for a quick dip. The room was beautiful. The bed so comfortable and the service impeccable! The breakfast has many choices and if required anything that is not available the staff will go beyond to make sure you get what you asked for. The staff is friendly and very helpful. I wasn't there for diner but there is a rooftop to go to if you want to see the city day or night. I recommend the night and have diner there. The only downfall is that the hotel is hidden. Hard to find but managed when asked locals for the location. Last but not least, koodos to the staff.

First time in Fez!

We booked this Riad for our quick impromptu trip to Fez for coupe of days. We had a great experience staying at Le Grand Alcazar - Riad is beautiful, clean, has stunning architecture and convenient located to Fez Medina. It’s walking distance to major sightseeing: Blue gate, Bou Inania Madrasa, Al Attarine Madra and more. Staff were very friendly, especially YUSUF! Yusuf is your go to person for anything you need, he can help you with booking day trip, recommendation for food, can bring you charger if your forgot yours, you name it and he will make it happen for you to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Overall great location, great place, nice view from terrace, lots of vegetarian options for food near by. I highly recommend this place.

Was a very nice Riad, but staff was limited in able to answer our questions. The Fez medina is one of the largest and very hard to navigate, so a little help would have been nice (as they did in Marrakesh). But there was no one really around to answer these questions. Othmane was available to call, but hard to navigate this over the phone. Also, our booking was for 4 adults and the 2 single beds are not suitable for adults. They are 2/3rds the size of a single bed and not a full length. May work for a child but definitely not for an adult. The breakfast was excellent.

Excellent welcome and staff. Breakfast was good, and assistance with luggage was excellent. The area around the property was difficult to see because the property was located on a very narrow street in the old town, and we did not have much time to investigate. Also, it's not possible to drive into the property location. You need assistance with luggage to get inside.

This was a disappointing stay and our least favorite riad during our whole 2 weeks in Morocco. The riad is very basic, the room was cramped and stifling. Basically the opposite of grand. The staff was kind, helpful and attentive, which was the saving grace. If you choose to stay here, expect a 3 star facility.

The Grand Alcazar was a magical place of beauty and delight. The riad itself was worthy of the great palaces that one only gets to visit nowadays: beautiful plaster, wood, paint, tiles, and metal artisanship all around. The team there is simply fantastic and made us feel like family from the moment we stepped in - thank you Omar, thank you Youssef! We enjoyed just staying in to read a book in such beauty during the warmer time of the day, or just eating something delicious from the kitchen. Have a look at the many books on Morocco - very much worthwhile. We also enjoyed the location: so easy to get to and right next to the medina. All in all, the most magical experience in Morocco or anywhere else in the world for that matter. I cannot recommend this place too much.

An Incredible Experience

I frequently stay in hotels all around the world. Le Grand Alcazar represented a new level in hospitality to me. From the moment you walk into the Riad, you understand that this is a very special place. Extremely well decorated in a sympathetic and original Moroccan style, the staff warmly welcome you. I chose a panorama room which had a small terrace overlooking the Medina of Fes. The room was beautifully appointed with cool aircon. The included breakfast is a sumptuous affair, with lots of fresh bread, pastries and a myriad of Moroccan curiosities. I would like to make a special mention for Youssef, who was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you for a wonderful experience in Fes Medina.

Best Riad in Fes

The owners of the Riad told me that they try to hire people who have a good heart rather than people with experience because you can teach service but not heart. They have succeeded beyond their expectations. Ghizlane & Youssef, and the rest of the staff, provided the best service that we’ve ever had at any hotel and they made us feel like family, not customers. I can’t recommend them any higher. You will not be disappointed if you stay here.
