The staff were so fantastic. Amin & Adnan went above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable. The Riad is beautiful inside and well kept. The beds were comfortable. Dinner was one of the best we’ve had on our trip.

Fantastica esperienza a Fes

La casa è stupenda e la famiglia che se ne occupa ci ha accolti calorosamente. Si sono occupati di noi in tutto. Ci hanno fornito informazioni essenziali sulla Medina e proposto tour con guide ufficiali e attività a prezzi onestissimi. Inoltre c’è un ristorante tradizionale marocchino e una terrazza panoramica dove rilassarsi sorseggiando del tè alla menta.

Bel établissement au cœur de la Médina. La famille est chaleureuse et accueillante, prête a vous conseiller dans vos désirs. Pour notre part nous avons eu un guide, Driss, qui nous a fait découvrir les trésors cachés de Fes notamment le Hammam. La chambre est confortable mais très petite, la salle de bain également. Petit déjeuner copieux. Le plus, le repas du soir est proposé et c'est tout simplement royal ! Parking à proximité. Je recommande.

Strongly recommended

I had a great stay at the Palais Fès Yahya. Not only was the Riad a charming and well-located place, the staff are incredibly kind and welcoming. When you stay here you aren't just getting the benefit of the hotel. Fès can be difficult to navigate as a tourist, and the hotel is also useful for organizing other trips (e.g. guided tours, day trips). They use people they know, who are themselves honest (trust me - you don't want to get guides from the street in Fès!). As an added bonus, the restaurant on the terrace is quite good, and you can end up meeting other travelers there (it tends to be a friendly environment, encouraged by the staff).
