Dar El Bali sits right in the middle, just off the main street on Rue Talaa Sghira that leads from the Bab el Jaloud ( Blue Gate )to the Medina. So access is really easy and convenient. The hosts, Elodie, her parents Katherine and Michel have lovingly restored this exquisite bed and breakfast with each room having a theme, great attention to detail from furnishings to food. They made our stay special with their warm hospitality , gave us great advice on where to dine and shop. The breakfasts were varied and during our 4 day stay, an excellent spread with homemade yogurt, preserves, excellent mix of Moroccan meets European. I was lucky to get the ground floor room, the other rooms need strong legs😀 but no complaints from the rest of the group. Dar El Bali was just the place for our final farewell to a fabulous 14 day holiday in Morocco.

There was nothing that we didn’t like

Five star Riad. Very professional and friendly at the same time. Beautiful place with a great ambience. Probably the best shower in the entire Morocco. It is located out of the way but quite central in terms of Medina. Breakfast was lovely. Strongly recommend.

I think the terrace which is great could do with some extra attention to make it a little bit more special. It would be a great place to chill out if staying for longer than a couple of nights. It is a suggestion rather than a criticism :)

We had a wonderful stay, felt very welcomed and enjoyed the ambience of the riad. The interior is divine, with the traditional tiling and thoughtful detail everywhere you look. We were very pleased to get a breakfast box on the last day as our train to Marrakech was very early. It was a very nice touch and we enjoyed it on our journey.

It is a small riad and a beautiful quiet place to relax from the buzzing medina, however I would have loved a chill area of sort outside of the room, perhaps a sofa corner. But again, riad was fairly small so perhaps there was no room for that. Our room however was very spacious.

The hosts are lovely. Very helpful. The location is perfect - close to everything but far enough off to be nice and quiet. The building is beautiful.

I wish I didn’t have to knock to enter the building. I prefer to have a key to let myself in.

Breakfast was very tasty and homemade by the hotel staff. Despite not having told them in advance it was still adjusted to my vegetarian preferences . The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were properly cleaned upon arrival and were cleaned daily by housekeeping. The venue had an authentic Moroccan vibe. The venue is located in the middle of the Medina area.

The WiFi connection which didn’t work properly on two of the four days we were there. But besides the WiFi not working all the time there isn’t really anything negative to say about the hotel.

The Riad is well located in the Medina and is very beautifully decorated. The rooms are nice and big. Its very clean and taken care of. Breakfast was big and good.

If u book the groundfloor room, be aware that there are only windows to the public area. So not much fresh air and circulation. Also there is not much privacy cause it opens to the public area. I felt a bit exposed.

We LOVED this riad! The attention to detail was very high and the riad itself is stunning! It is a beautiful and special place that is an exceptional value for your money. When I explained that we were gluten free, they made special GF pancakes and crepes for us to enjoy in lieu of bread. So thoughtful and delicious!

The shower's water pressure was quite low and it seemed that the drain was slow, so water accumulated in the shower basin, but eventually cleared. But these are very minor issues that I am sure will be resolved quickly.

The Dar was beautifully decorated, comfortable and in a great location. Our room was was perfectly warm during the cooler temperatures, the bed was very comfortable and the room was spacious. The hosts were kind, helpful and always smiling. Breakfast was just what you needed to get your day started. We loved our stay and would book again if we return to Fes.

The personalised attention, warm hosts and lovely traditional Moroccan food. The property is intricately decorated with local craftsmanship. Rooms were cosy with everything we needed. Elodie and her family welcomed us in the warmest possible way.

The room didn’t have an outdoor window but aside from that there wasn’t much to dislike.

A lot of attention to detail has been put in by the managing staff to make the stay cosy.

The narrow stairs to the the upper rooms can be a trial for a tall person
