    The bed was so hard, it made me wake up every few hours during the night. The first night I squished a bed bug (though it was the only one I witnessed and got bitten just once during my stay). I also found a big rusty nail between the blankets and the mattress and I have no idea how it went unnoticed when the the bed was made. The bathroom needs some fixing: the toilet seat was coming off and the sink had only hot water, because the cold water valve below the sink was closed. I tried to open it and water started flowing out directly from the wall valve (hence, that’s why it was closed). The family in front of the hostel (and right below my window) is very noisy at night, with kids playing football, yelling and crying way past midnight almost every day. I’m so sorry to give such a list of things, though I believe they are fixable if addressed properly. The accommodation has a lot of potential and invites to spend some time in the hall. It would certainly benefit the touch of a designer to work the interiors for an international clientele

    It is off the crowded part of the Medina, but once you know how to navigate the maze, you’ll be in the soul area in no time :) also, it’s a few minutes ride to Bab Boujloud (10 Dihram) The man working there is friendly and welcoming. We spent time chatting and I’ve learn something more about Morocco. A day I was not feeling particularly well and he offered to get me a sugary drink from the kiosk nearby. The room is convenient for a solo traveler on a budget and it has its own private bathroom. You wouldn’t enjoy hanging around the room during the day, though I doubt that this is why you’d come visit Fez for

    The owner should solve some problems in the facilities so that this place retains its charm.

    Excellent treatment and work by Saïd and his co-worker, quiet and peaceful place to spend a few days.

    Charming Riad on the side of the Medina

    Would be a good idea to add a curtain to the shower, to avoid spilling water everywhere. Also, it's a good idea to keep the bathroom door closed at all time to keep away the bad smell from the tubes.

    A charming, lovely riad in the outskirts of the Medina, close to the main road, which makes it both easier to find and quieter (but also a little bit more distant from the bustling center of the Medina). The decoration is really nice, the room was ample, clean, fresh, and quiet. The breakfast was very complete, diverse, and tasty. And last but not least, Mustapha was a a thoughtful host, explaining us everything we needed, making sure we didn't lack of anything (SIM card, change, advices...) and checking on us every day - a true professionnal.

    Room was clean and comfortable, the host Mustapha was very helpful and was quick to provide us with anything we needed during our stay. It's only a 5 min walk from Bab Guissa (one of the gates to the walled city) which was super convenient since cars can't enter so you don't have to walk far with your suitcases. Beautiful dining area and terrace. Would highly recommend!

    Staying in January and the room had a very high ceiling so most of the heat went up and didn't warm us completely. Hardly any restaurants nearby but a short cab ride would take us down to the Blue gate and the heart of the Medina..

    If you want to feel like you're traveling in the real Morocco this is the place. Plenty of Old world charm. The best part is meeting Mustafa. He will do everything he can to make your stay easy and enjoyable. A charming fellow!

    The riad is located on the top of the hill, in a much quieter area of Fes. Easy to park around the back. Our host Abdul was really welcoming, and made us feel at home. We really enjoyed spending some time chatting together. The riad itself is very nice and we were very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious, with plenty of vegan options. On top of that, the price was really good for the value of our stay. Highly recommended!

    while the location is good, the property is very okayish. the bathroom flush worked on and off, the room was very cold with no heater and hot water was very mild and took very long to come. the property needs better upkeep

    Our experience with Mustafa was great. He is very helpful and friendly. He can speak multiple languages which is a plus. We had to leave at 6:15 to catch an early morning train and he woke up for us, came to drop us on the main road and helped in getting the taxi which was definitely not his job but he did it out of kindness and courtesy.

    They main drawback was lack of upgrade(investment by the owner) of property such as bathroom door, stairscase to the terrace.

    Mustafa was the main driving force in the smooth running of this accomadation, he was helpful and made the trip enjoyable and enriching.

    - Abit smelly, - The beds in one room had ants waking on them.

    - Mustafa was very friendly and welcoming and available during our whole stay. - On our last day he arranged our flight tickets very late at evening via postal service since in Morocco you can not check-in with mobile ticket and Ryainair charges huge fees. - The accomodation was OK. It was very old and traditional Ryad.
