Fes hotels & places to stay

The hostel is in the medina and you can access to any attracting spots quite soon. The hostel is simple and good place for taking a rest without special facilities, but it is very awesome for this price. The thing is it costs you only this price, and you will find the place is comfortable and warm, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Also, the Moroccan breakfast was fantastic. I had wonderful time there, and it was one of my best experience in Fes.

Moundir and Ahmed provided excellent service and advice. Location easy to access (look up on the walls of the Médina and follow the signs-ask shopkeepers the first trip) and convenient. Lots of shops, food, donkeys along the way. The room was comfortable and nice shower, great aircon. Lounge/breakfast room beautifully decorated. Nice breakfast and good coffee provided. Printed out our Ryanair tickets which saved money. Fair price on ride to airport, safe and reliable. Had a wonderful experience in Morocco. Thank you!

We had a very nice stay at Dar Naima. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The price was excellent value. Although there are not many frills, the room was very nicely decorated with a great Berber carpet and had an incredible view over the Fes medina. Breakfast was one of the better hotel breakfasts, with a hot tajine of fried eggs accompanying some traditional Moroccan breads and jams, with coffee, tea, and orange juice. It is priced a little lower than some other medina riads but is a really nice place, a level above your standard medina hotel or guest house. I highly recommend it.

Staff were very friendly. Communication was good. I arranged a ride to and from airport. It’s close to many things and easy to navigate Medina with map or google maps on phone. Neighborhood seemed safe enough, and it’s not far from good food! Breakfast comes with the booking! When walking Médina, I suggest keeping to yourself, and learn to say la shock run = no thank you. Ignoring the people trying to get your attention is the best.. it will only waste your time and they are looking for money everywhere. Plan on paying cash. And bring an extra sack for the cool things you will want to take home. Great place! Dar Elinor was a perfect place to stay!

We stayed at this Dar for 14 nights during the period of the Fes Sacred Music Festival. We chose this Dar (house) for its location and proximity to the festival venues and its good ratings, all well deserved. We found that many dars and riads increase their prices during the festival period however this Dar did not. Our room with ensuite was spacious, very comfortable and well designed with Moroccan flavour. Breakfasts were good, traditional fare, with freshly squeezed orange juice. Upon arrival we were made to feel very welcome, even served with a delicious sample of Fes tangine. Staff Younes, Mohammed and Meryam at Dar Ahl Tadla are fantastic warm people. On our first night at the festival without us even realizing we were going to be accompanied, Mohammed walked us to the main venue so we would not get lost . Younes was super helpful, not only with information about our forward travel but he also went out of his way to pick up our bus tickets for Chefcheoun. We were truly made to feel at home in Fes.

We spent 4 nights here and it was great! Rachid and Fatima are both lovely hosts and Rachid in particular went out of his way to make sure that everything went smoothly for us, including arranging 2 excursions, helping with taxis, finding a restaurant for us and accompanying us around the medina (in the rain!) so that we didn't get too lost. He found a heater for us and we had tea together on numerous occasions! Moroccan hospitality at its finest. Our room was large and clean, with plenty of blankets to keep warm and breakfast was plentiful. Additionally, the view from the roof terrace is one of the best in the Medina. Would recommend!

This is an amazing little Riad and Ahmed and especially Mehdi are very good. They were helpful throughout and were able to take us to local Hammam and within a couple of days we were able to navigate our way around most parts with their help! The Riad is very close to Bab Guissa so taxis nearby to take you to New Fes (McDonalds, Pizza Hut etc) at will and very cheap. Best of all was the food, it truly was amazing. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to anybody and everybody. Thank you Riad Meski, Ahmed & Mehdi!

After a week of traveling in Morocco and feeling like nothing but a walking wallet, this guest house made us feel better about our time in Morocco. They walked us through a few of the scams, told us where was safe and where was not safe and when. They had an amazing breakfast for us, which was greatly appreciated after a week of every guest house tour group and hotel giving us the same food every morning. They made us feel like the only guests there. It was also nice distance away from everything too. I will not be going to Fez any time soon but if I did I would book with them. Everyone from the owner to the staff were just lovely.

I stayed two nights at Dar Rbab. Finding this place by myself was impossible so i had to ask people and they were really so kind to take me to the riad, twice! (I admit i'm not very good at finding places in Medina). The staff was really helpful and kind, even took me to all the way to Bab Guissa in early morning when i left for Chefchaouen. The room itself is ok considering that it's 300 years old and renovated but i have to say there is a lot to be improved. At the least you need to clean the bathroom more - i had to wear my crocs to take shower each time. Also, it would be nice to have a hanger to put some clothes.

I have to give dar lalla bouchra an excellent review because after many hours of travel from Zagora with my sick husband, my 3 year old and myself expected to arrive in the morning and were hoping to leave our bags at dar lalla before we could check in but we arrived at 0230 in the morning. We knocked on the door waking up everyone and even though the guesthouse was full they let us sleep in a room just off the living room and then at 1130 the next day when we finally woke there was a knock on the door and the girls had prepared a breakfast feast for us. I couldn't have been more grateful. Thank you so much for taking us in and feeding us when you didn't need to! The location was also superb. And the room was big and comfortable and the girls provided spare sheets and blankets to make a bed for our daughter on the sofa. Breakfast was generous and the house was very clean. One minute walk away from the medina which was perfect for us as we didn't want to stay in the medina. 5 minute walk to the jardin. 1 minute walk to taxi station. Guest room upstairs so not suitable if you have mobility issues.

The manager told me that there was electricity problem with the hotel and I was sent to a hotel nearby with a room without window and it stink. I wasn't happy with it but was told that it was only room available. So I had to take it if that was the best he could do. He was saying that it was just for 1 night but 1 night is 1/3 of my stay already. However, the next day at breakfast, the other guests staying in the hotel and they said there was NO electricity. I am convinced he over booked the place and lied to me, or just somehow in a mysterious way, he was telling the true, that only the room I booked had electricity problem. And I later found out that there was a better room with window in the hotel he sent me and he gave it to the other guests who arrived later than me.

I never stayed so long in location for visit like I did at Familly Tazi.the stay was wonderful.the wife and kid was so very nice to my wife.The house keeper madame dirissia was so wonderful.Take everything.I will and we will get to FEZ and we gona book at Family tazi again.the breackfast soo good,we always order Diner on night. Good to visit old medina fez.who ever want go to FEZ and need gomfort and quiete place Please check with FAMILLY TAZI because you will never disappointed.

The photos of this hotel in no way prepared us for the actuality of the hotel, which had clearly started out grandly, but had deviated from the original plan. The 'spa' pools were empty, with only one small round pool open for use and the cleanliness of the water left a lot to be desired, as did the overall standard of cleanliness in the hotel. Considering how far it is out of Fez, dining was a bit of a nightmare given that the restaurant had about three set menus and the food wasn't wonderful. The view of the stars at night was magnificent from the balcony, but we had to buy cockroach spray to feel safe watching them! The reception staff were grouchy, but the barman was great, very helpful.

The hotel for the price is good, nothing luxury but a comfortable bed to sleep in a clean room with tv and light breakfast is served (nothing fancy, but it does the job for a start to the morning)....hot eggs on request, bread, tea/coffee, yogurt, juice........cutlery is normally limited and refreshed every few minutes. I thought booking with Agoda meant everything is paid but you still have to pay local city tax on arrival around 10dhirams a night, not very expensive but it would be good to know prior to booking so that you are prepared on check-in. Otherwise great hotel, does the job at great value and well worth recommending.
