This property is an extremely gorgeous riad ! Zahra checked us in and was so friendly and helpful. She offered dinner service so we had three nights of the very best of Moroccan cooking. Each night and morning Otmane was there to check in to help with any planning we needed for the next days. His help was indispensable and much appreciated. We wouldn’t have enjoyed our visit without his lovely smile and follow through with or plans. We left early and insisted we take breakfast for our 7 hour train ride to Marrakech. It’s was very inexpensive for the location and beauty of the interiors.

The Riad was the perfect place for a safe, comfortable, and truly delicious stay in Fes. The location is ideal: close to the Medina, but not inside it. As a solo female traveler, I believe staying inside the Medina would have been a poor choice, since the harassment there is real and persistent. Being just outside the Medina gave me much more peace of mind, while still allowing me to walk everywhere I wanted, explore the shops, and enjoy greater autonomy overall. Another highlight was the warm and respectful service from the entire team. And the food cooked on-site is simply unmissable! I ended up having dinner there every night because the variety and quality of the ingredients — especially the fresh vegetables and fruits — really impressed me. Finally, the beauty of the Riad itself is worth the visit. I was lucky enough to receive an upgrade, and my room felt like a princess suite: spacious, with Persian-inspired details, a large bathtub, and big windows… it was truly a dream. I would highly recommend this Riad to anyone visiting Fes and would gladly stay here again.

Nothing, was perfect!

Beautiful property and a truly lovely family and staff that run it. They must us feel welcome and were very accommodating. The wood work and tile work in this Riad is magnificently beautiful; the room we stayed in was a great size (although the bathroom was small) and was well appointed. It was a great escape after exploring Fes all day. The area is safe and easily walkable to restaurants and shops but a guide is recommended beyond that. We enjoyed breakfast everyday and even had dinner one night at the Riad. The hosts organized a hammam at the hotel as well, which was a cool experience.

Unfortunately the rooftop wasn't opened when we were there because of a renovation project but we still enjoyed the Riad.

Awesome Riad very close to the Medina with a very warm welcome. Through the atmosphere of this special place you plunge directly into history. We had a huge beautifully decorated maisonette-like room with comfy beds and a private roof terrace. We especially liked the helpful staff. The attentive hotel manager took care of everything and recommended very good walking tours through the city and it's different neighborhoods. He also provided interesting insights into moroccan daily life for us. Thank you very much :)! Great breakfast in the splendid ground floor premises.

Staff were particularly good; always avaiable and ready to help. Both Zahraa and Rasheed are marvelous; they make you feel like family. Zahra was very accomodating with offering available room that is more conveniwnt whwn possoble ( ground floor). Proximity of the Riad fo the entrance to old Medina (Bab Jaloud) was a bonus We made friends at Riad AlAndalus!

Not particularly keen on food ( quality wise); good experience rhough! Mind you Zahra wa again trying to provide for preferences. Potential to be booked on upper floors whoch may be difficult for petsons with limitations Cleanliness, due to old structure and bedding, is a challwnge I guess ( at least my standards_expectations were not met... thete was daily floor cleani g etc... but can clean scatfeted rugs for example!!! Do not count on Riad to provide you with shampoo and petsonal gels and soaps!

We loved Riad Dar Al Andalous. The riad itself is magnificent with two linked courtyards overlooked by several of the rooms, the decor is authentic without being over the top. Our suite, the Manzeh was delightful with lots of windows, a supremely comfortable king bed and bags of Moroccan style. It was also very warm, which is important, as in Winter the tall courtyards are really almost impossible to heat. The location really could not be bettered, it is just outside the medina but 5 minutes walk to the souks, tanneries etc, in the other direction are the Mellah, Royal Palace and gardens. The lane in which it is found is calm and quiet. We walked everywhere from here at all hours. But the real stars of Al Andalous are the staff; Zahra, Osmane and Rashid were incredibly welcoming and responded readily to our every request. We felt this to be a real home from home. We also booked a private day tour with Omega tours, located just opposite, to Volubilis and Meknes with "no shopping". This was unforgettable and highly recommended, our driver Salim was excellent.

You have to experience this beautiful place to understand what it is all about. Such a gorgeous place in the centre, kept as beautiful as it is for over 20years now and whereever you look you see dedication, passion and respect to the origins. One of the first 3 Riyad’s in Fes, this place is really something different. We spontenaously spent the new year’s days here, and couldn’t be better to be honest. Othman, his parents, Rashid, Zahra and the crazy good live music made us feel at home❤️ they also somehow managed to find the Grapes for the tradition and it was so much fun to share those moments with them!!! Our room was in the ground floor, it was very charming, especially the ceiling. It’s always full so make sure to plan and book it in advance I’d say. The cleaning service and the staff was very good. The breakfasts were very abundant and the food served is very good. We can’t forget our randomly served teas throughout the day🥰 such a nice detail. We definitely recommend booking a guide for a tour in the city, we didn’t listen to them on this and now wishing that we would have done that! It definitely worths it! If you’re planning to visit Fes please make sure to stay here, you’ll thank for it later🥂

The building (Riad) was amazing. This is probably the most beautiful hotel I have ever been in. The staff were very kind and helpful especially Zahra. I also like the location. I specifically didn't want to stay in the Medina because I was afraid of feeling claustrophobic. This was less than 5 minutes walk away.

The breakfast was very basic and leaning strongly towards carbs / sweet stuff. I need to eat a savory breakfast and this wasn't available. I ended up eating outdoors.

The place was beautiful, our room was very spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. The location is great to explore the Medina although after dark it felt a little sketchy.

We asked for help on options to get to Fez and we felt a little pushed by the hostess to book through her instead of providing clear information on all options available. We ended up booking in our own for €15 les per person than the option she offered which left us feeling like we would have been taken advantage of.

Gorgeous Riad with wonderful open space and friendly staff. We felt welcomed and were given lots of tips and recommendations for the city. We asked for a dinner recommendation and they organized someone to come pick us up to take us to the restaurant, which was very nice of them. The breakfast every morning was a highlight, as eating in the courtyard with its fountain is the perfect way to start the day. We definitely recommend staying here—it was our favorite hotel that we stayed at in our two weeks in Morocco!
