    The riad was beautiful, but what made it an exceptional hotel was the friendliness of the staff. Meryam was so sweet and went above and beyond all our expectations!! We had a hamman while there and I highly recommend it.

    Charming Riad in the heart of the Medina with a delightful courtyard for breakfast; rooms are well-organized. Breakfast

    While the breakfast tended to be repetitive, the discovery that eggs could be requested added variety. Dinner, although correct, seemed slightly expensive compared to options in the Medina. Nevertheless, it was an overall great stay.

    A delightful Riad in the heart of the Medina, featuring a paradise-like courtyard where breakfast is particularly enjoyable, and well-organized rooms add to the experience.

    Bkft was rather limited in scope and did not adjust readily to input from guest. Like all Moroccan setups, it was a rare staff member (see Meriame above) who was prepared to suggesst other than the precanned tour guides, resturaants, etc. Minor details that hurt overrall elevation was a closest door that did not stay closed when shut, and lack of more than 1 trash can for apartment (only one was in bathroom). Also, needed map for finding hotel, Google Map is not up to task in medinas. Could be sent as part confirmation.

    Faacilities were well up to what previous reviewers and photos had indicated, excellent overall. All staff members were helpful in addressing routine guests needs. One in particular, Meriame was quite helpful in printing changes in schedules and tickets required by adjustments to one's basic plan. She also actually listened to one's input and would than make recommendations to accomplish that even if requests were not for fanicest food or normal tourist sights/activities.

    Nothing. It was perfect for our family of 5.

    Everything! It was beautiful. The staff were so kind and attentive. It was a peaceful oasis to come home to after wandering the labyrinth of the Medina, and it was very easy to get to- only a couple of moments away from the Blue Gate.

    Nothing to not like.

    Absolutely amazing Riad, located very close to tala kebira and the blue gate, right where you want to be inside Fes medina but close to the gate. Really good value for price paid, good breakfast, quiet and spacious room with powerful A/C. A special mention goes to the staff, in particular to Lahcen, who went above and beyond to make our stay friendlier. He gave us several tips on the area, even booked a local restaurant on the phone on our behalf. Will definitely stay in Riad Sabah whenever we return to Fes.

    Oasis of calm and beauty in the Medina

    Riad Sabah was really like an oasis when we walked inside after navigating the dark alleys of the medina. We were warmly greeted, and seated in the center courtyard- which was gorgeous! We were given mint tea and some delicious cookies while our paperwork was being done. (we are still looking to find more of those cookies!) Our bed was very comfortable and the room was cozy and clean. (air conditioner worked great). breakfast was very lovely in the courtyard- with the fountains and the pool. You can also request to eat on the rooftop- which we forgot about. but it has a great view of the city. last- Mariem was super helpful- gave us many tips about the medina- and marked some things on the map for us. But she also suggested an excellent restaurant and called and made a reservation for us for dinner. (which was excellent- and the interior was incredibly beautiful!)

    Nothing - everything was perfect.

    Riad Sabah was just amazing, pictures do not show properly how pretty it is inside. The position is just perfect, right by Bab Boujloud gate so at the beginning of the medina. Breakfast was great, really clean facilities and staff was super welcoming and warm, in particular Akram was always so available and warm with us, we felt at home. Highly recommended. P.s. don't forget to check out the view from the top terrace!

    I love the place, its like a small palace in the Medina, near the main entry and the parking, about 10 minutes walking. Very clean, they speak english perfect, and with an atmosphere very elegant. Its amazing to arrive so tired after 3 hours walking through the Medina, with the hit, and to swim in their pool in the middle of the patio like in the Alhambra, you feel as a Princess!!!!

    The shower didn't have hot water one morning, but they fixed it right away which was great.

    Really great staff who helped us with a lot of things to get to and from the riad. Also helped us with a trip to Chef and restaurant recommendations. Great breakfast and they packed us a nice breakfast when we left early for the train. Would definitely go back.

    We had a a beautiful 3BR apartment with a small living room. There was a fireplace in our room and someone tried to light it with kerosene, which caused fumes and in the end the fire went out as soon as the kerosene burned. Wish there was a heating source in the living area as we had no way of using it without the fire.

    Wonderful staff, beautiful property, best dinner (veg tagging) of our trip. Very helpful ahead of my stay arranging for a tour and driver. Very responsive.

    We have nothing negative to say about our stay here. It was absolutely wonderful. Sometimes the little quirks are what gives a place it's magic, "perfection" is over rated

    The stay was fantastic, from the welcoming reception to departure, the staff did their best to make us feel at home. They were very helpful and friendly. The staff gave us advice on where to go and how to get there, even including a map of the madinas!! The food was brilliant. We tried food from a local restaurant on our first night but wasn't impressed so decided to have dinner at the Riad the next night - what a pleasant surprise. Dinner was as the Riad for the rest of our stay. The chef exceeded our expectations and gave us a true taste of Moroccan food. Highly recommended. If you love a scenic view with a sunset or sunrise, then we advise you to try out the roof terrace which provides a 360 degree view of "Old Fes" and beyond. Absolutely breath-taking. You have to see to belief.
