The Riad is a 5minute walk opposite the Medina/bazaar and the Medina has 2000 alleys and shops! The Newer Medina is not far either but expect lots of walking. 10minutes away from town shops. 20minutes away from the shopping malls and parks. The host Muhammad was supportive, helpful, knowledgeable of prices, rates and excursions - he helped book our cooking class and gave visitors information on Hammams, desert stays and henna artists. "Basha" Palace has beautiful architecture, we stayed in the larger triple bedroom, there were 6 of us altogether with 2 rooms outside in the extended courtyard- fun to walk outside if it rained (!) There's a beautiful rooftop balcony to sit, eat and view the mountains. The kitchen has fridges and basic facilities. Cameras on ground floors, a security locked room for valuables and printer (we needed to print our boarding passes). Glad we stayed here, a nice experience, we all enjoyed it.

FYI = the building doesn't has a lift which isn't ideal for disabilities or pregnancy or heavy lifting of suitcases up 3 stair cases. No carpets or rugs in bedrooms and little to no ventilation in bathrooms. Although there's new plaster in the en suites, the lack of lighting and dates features made it a bit claustrophobic and slippery. This is nobody's fault as the architecture doesn't allow for these changes. Check with your booking agency for travel costs, currency rates and how to haggle for non-tourist prices. As we stayed in Fes/Tangier, the taxi service, fares and driving is crazy. For the same trip, 2 taxi services charged 350MAD - dirhams = £27, and 60 dirhams, £4.75.

We had an exceptional stay at Riad Pacha. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the incredibly friendly and attentive staff. They make everything easy, from arranging meals and recommending places to visit to booking taxis and even finding tour guides. Their hospitality truly makes a difference! The riad itself is absolutely stunning. Inside, it is simply exquisite and beyond anything we expected. The intricate mosaics, beautifully carved woodwork, and traditional architecture create a mesmerizing and immersive atmosphere. Our room was spacious, clean, and tastefully decorated, striking the perfect balance between modern comfort and Moroccan charm. The breakfast was very generous, featuring a variety of fresh local products, and the orange juice was simply amazing—so fresh! Another great feature is the convenient shortcut from the parking area to the medina, making it much easier to get around. The location is perfect for exploring Fès on foot. A huge thank you to the entire team for this memorable experience. We highly recommend this hotel and will definitely return!

None

Riad Pacha Palace is a wonderful place to stay, the highlight is the communal space on the floor level which has beautiful architecture and serves as the breakfast area. The room was fully equipped with everything you need, was clean and central to attractions in Fes. Breakfast at this accommodation is superb, melon, bananas, honey, jam, eggs and bread, this by itself won me over and is a indication of the quality of this place. Thank you to the staff who were kind, respectful and who offered tea on arrival.

The building and my room (a single) were stunning. The bird songs outside my second-floor window were lovely all day long, as the building is next to a forested garden. The rooftop terrace view at sunset was stunning. The breakfast was delicious. Mhamed greeted me with tea on my arrival, gave me a thorough map orientation to the alleys of the old city and was always a warm, gracious presence during my stay.

Pacha Palace was a delight, I’m so glad I chose this Riad for my first trip to fes, it’s centred beautifully in the middle of the medina and a walking distance from all the main tourist attractions in Fes. The riad itself is stunning and feels so scenic, the rooms are huge and the architecture throughout the riad is captivating, the traditional moroccan breakfast they serve is amazing and very delicious. Not to mention the highlight of our trip was Yassine. From the moment we arrived he was extremely hospitable and attentive to any requests we had and made us feel like home. I would recommend Pacha Palace to anyone visiting to experience a memorable trip.

Nothing. Everything was perfect

What made our stay so special was because of Yassine and Hassan, they were both very welcoming and helpful in any regard. We talked with Hassan about everything of his culture and way of life in morocco. He was so kind and open, we really found a new friend and felt very happy at our Riad. The breakfast was good, the location is nice when you wanna immerse yourself in the business of the old medina but sleep at a quiet place. We quickly realized that the medina is too busy for our personal taste.

When we arrived the chef of the Riad double booked our room, so we had to stay in a cheaper room, which was not refunded. That room was very small, one bed was broken and it was not very clean. Once we got to our actual room there were many ants coming through the wall, but it was quickly fixed by the staff. Overall, when all the issues were solved, we loved our room.

Great location, just outside the Medina so was quiter and yet very convenient. 7-10 minutes walk from the Blue Gate. The staff were very friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was good and the bed was very comfortable.

Nothing much comes to mind really. Do bear in mind that this is a basic riad not a 5 or even 3 star hotel (which of course is reflected in the price). Therefore the bathroom needs a bit of improvement and the hot water took a long time to come through.

I could write a book about the positives of this venue. The view from our room on the top floor was astounding, the room itself was large and comfortable and the location was just outside the medina (2-3 minute walk), so it was quiet without being far from the action. Huge bed. Property was a little difficult to find (a doorway at the end of a narrow street), so ask around at the nearby carpark/taxi stand and someone will point you in the right direction. Staff were exceptional (especially Hasim), and the downstairs common area (where a great breakfast is served) is better than the photos suggest. As a bonus, we were invited to attend a Moroccan engagement celebration being held on the premises - who could refuse that!

Not a major issue, but the bathroom was small and dimly lit. Better lighting would be helpful.

Amazing staff (showed around, helped with taxis, ordering hammam, ...) Ideal location which is just 5min outside of Medina, so you can quickly get in and out. Nice (although old) hotel style, large rooms. Pleasant, big breakfast. Overall amazing value for the price

Bit older rooms and if there is some loud noise outside (dogs barking, etc), the doors/windows don't isolate much

From the beginning we was warmly welcomed. The riad is so beautiful and big, the terrace view is awesome , and the room was big. We left early in the morning, at 4:30 am . And without asking, they prepared us the breakfast to go. It was melting my heart. Because I had experience with other Riad, and they do nothing in this situation. It have also really good position, easy to find, also with a parking 2 minute walk from Riad.
