Room was very clean, well appointed, comfortable. Food was excellent. House is converted private home, but the furnishings are all very appropriate to what would have been there - very well done. The owners (French/Moroccon) were wonderful - spoke English extremely well, were available every day, and bent over backwards to write down recommendations, show us the locations on a amp, etc., etc. Like any accommodations in the medinas, you need to arrange to have someone from the hotel/riad meet you to help with luggage.

We spent several nights at the Riad Le Calife and were very impressed with the facility, service and hospitality.

This is a beautifully renovated old riad in the Fes medina. The staff and management are wonderful and made us feel very cared for. We received great advice on how to optimize our time in the medina and restaurant options outside of the riad. Riad Le Calife's food is also excellent. The rooms are very comfortable as are the common areas such as the courtyard and dining rooms. Its location is very good as well with quick access to car-accessible streets and cabs. We highly recommend a stay at Riad Le Calife

Wonderful Riad for a stay in Fes

Riad Calife is a wonderful little hotel in the old part of Fes. The property and rooms are beautifully decorated with a blend of Moorish and French architecture. The rooftop terrace and restaurant area offers a great view of the oldest part of the city. The staff is very friendly and extremely helpful. Highly recommended!

All-around incredible

Everything was incredible! The Riad itself was beautiful - the rooms, the reception, the courtyard, all of it. The employees are lovely, and the owner Alex was incredibly kind. We had a great conversation with him about the Riads history, and Morocco itself, and appreciated the extra effort that we could tell he puts in for his guests. The location itself is great as well. You owe it to yourself to have the welcome dinner; Chef Fatima is incredible. In our 12 days in Morocco, the two dinners that we had at the restaurant were our favorite meals. Not only is the food great, but the views of Fes from the restaurant are incredible as well.
