Darif's Riad is a serene and comfortable place to make your home base while in Fes. Service is wonderful and friendly. The property is beautiful and has great ambiance. The only negative was I found the breakfast and one dinner I had there to be lacking, I was expecting better.

We were pleasantly surprised and so impressed with the riad. Amazing space and delicious breakfast, and most importantly staff were extremely friendly. Someone helped picked us up from the main road and carried our luggages on our way in and our way out. Highly recommend!

Le personnel est très serviable et gentil. Le décors est magnifique. Typique d'un Ryad. Mais problème avec la douche On en met partout et le ménage est moyen le déjeuner tradionnel est limite. Il redonne des produits non mange la vieille. Que l'on avait pas pris car il était brulé. et surtout ne pas prendre de repas dans le ryad. Ils sont très cher. English: The staff is very helpful and kind. The décor is magnificent. Typical of a Ryad. But Problem with the shower We put it everywhere and the cleaning is average The traditional lunch is borderline. It gives back products not eats the old. Which we hadn't taken because he was burned. and above all not to have meals in the ryad. They are very expensive.

Riad med kultur

Meget smuk Riad, hvor der var brugt traditionel marrokansk håndværk og materialer til indretningen. Alt var meget smukt og gennemført. Dejligt værelse med stort badeværelse og køleskab. Ligger lidt yderligt i forhold til hvad vi gerne ville se og opleve

Un séjour de rêve au cœur de la médina

Excellent séjour (trop court!!) de deux nuits dans ce riad magnifiquement rénové. Points positifs: Le parking. Le riad est situé à côté de Bab Guissa, il y a un parking payant surveillé et sécurisé juste avant d'arriver à Bab Guissa. Facile à trouver. En rentrant ensuite dans la médina, on se laisse guider par les flèches sur les murs comme un jeu de piste! L’accueil avec les serviettes rafraichissantes, le thé et les pâtisseries dans le hall magnifique, suivi de la visite guidée du riad Les terrasses avec vue sur Fes Les chambres et l'ensemble du riad, rénovées avec goût, dignes d'un musée des arts et traditions populaires Le petit déjeuner La (petite) piscine pour se rafraichir en fin de journée La clim dans la chambre, très efficace! Le service impeccable Le tarif de l'hébergement Points négatifs Le seul point négatif n'est pas spécifique au riad mais s'applique aussi à toute la médina: à éviter pour les voyageurs à mobilité réduite ou qui ont du mal à monter les escaliers
