Very good location.

My room. I wish I had been notified that it was on two levels. You walked in and there’s a bathroom and walk in space for clothes, then stairs to go up to the bed. Would have preferred it all on the same level.

Fantastic building, we had a huge room upstairs. We have seen a few nice Riads but this one was truly special. The stuff (Omar the manager and everyone else) answered all our questions regarding local food and we enjoyed it all. The breakfast was more on the sweet side but lots of jams, yoghurt, coffe tee, very fresh baguette a d eggs any style.

They have some reclining chairs in the opulently decorated room that has a black metal frame that is really hard to see. I hit my leg badly twice in the same spot quite badly. My mistake and easy to fix. That’s the only reason for a “9” in comfort. 😀

Beautiful setting with both our rooms like a mini palace

Just a bit more lighting in the rooms would help

Riad is amazing, the staff is superb. By far the best place I stayed in Marroco, and ever to be honest. It’s very affordable, particularly for what you get. I paid in Marrakesh 3 times more for a riad that was 1/3 of the quality (despite being very high rated). The place is beautiful, a lot of attention to the detail. The room was huge, comfortable and beautiful. The breakfast was delicious and abundant. The staff were very nice, helpful, efficient and kind. Always ready to help. The Riad is on of the extremes of the Medina (10min walk to the action). I always felt safe walking at night back to the Riad, but some feel may feel intimated by the maze. Cab is always an option. I highly recommend this place. Pick it, you won’t regret it.

We had a wonderful stay at this Riad in Fes. What stood out the most was the incredibly kind and helpful staff – you feel welcome and well taken care of from the very first moment. The interior courtyard is absolutely beautiful: very tastefully designed, peaceful, and full of charming details – a little oasis in the middle of the city. The rooms are simple but lovingly and thoughtfully decorated, creating a very pleasant and personal atmosphere. The location is also great – about a 10 to 15-minute walk to the old town. Breakfast was sufficient, though a bit too sweet for my taste – probably typical for the region. Still, a nice way to start the day. All in all, highly recommended!

The detailed interior design and selected art and craft around the property were delightful. All the employees were super kind and helpful. Our ‘string of rooms (family suite)’ were an absolute pleasure after gritting it out in the Medina.

No key to the front door was a bit strange…but there was an employee 24/7 with immediate response to let guests in and show guests out. This was clearly a wonderful security detail and a welcoming touch.

This was my favorite riad of all the 7 I stayed while in Morocco. Everything was impeccable, from the styling of the riad and my room, to the service, to the best food I had and while in Morocco. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted by lush greenery all over. There is a lovely parrot who adds to the environment with his lovely song and presence. It is obvious that the owner pays attention to detail. One can tire from the tajin and couscous, but not here! Take it from me and have dinner in the road at least once. The breakfast was traditional only with a twist as it wound change each day and we trying was delicious and homemade. My room was the Berber room and lovely decorated. I was able to do laundry here and it was nice coming “home” after a long day of walking and doing touristy things to see your laundry done and nicely folded. I also cannot speak enough about the service of the gentleman managing the road during the day. I forgot his name but he was exceptional and so patient with me during the frustrating moments of almost missing my tour to Chefchaouen and the misunderstanding with my booking. I cannot thank him enough.

Sadly, there was a mistake in my booking. I had booked three nights and the road only had me for two nights. As you can imagine, this would be devastating news for a solo female traveler during high season. There was a lot of back and forth and because they were already booked, the owner found me another lovely road for my third night. Thought I would have preferred my third night here, I was happy that a solution was found. They even took care of my dinner at their road that night. Also know that getting lost in Fes is inevitable! This riad was located on the border of the medina so walking to places seemed a bit far. I found google maps to have the worst service. It will take a couple of moments of getting lost to get used to the landmarks to get to and from the Riad

Beautiful building, perfectly and finely restored: the patio is one of the most interesting I've seen in Morocco, full of various plant and amused by Pulet (a nice parrot, a plus!). Big, clean and cosy rooms, with very comfortable beds and spacious bathroom. Inside Medina, but outside caos, few steps away one of the entrance door to the ancient city. Various and aboundant breakfast and moreover the dinner, really deserve! (Trust the fantastic cook and accept the surprise menu based on the freshest products in the market). Last but not least: friendly, professional and really helpful staff (special thanks to Hassan that help us very effectively when we were in trouble). If you go to Fez, that is the place to stay!

Excellent service from arrival to departure. We were greeted with Turkish tea and seated in the courtyard while we completed our paperwork. Our room was upgraded to a suite which was stunning, spacious and had many authentic touches that felt like a Moroccan Riad. The bathroom was clean and had good hot water. The staff assisted with directions, taxi bookings and advised us not to attend a touristic pottery house, redirecting us to the appropriate place. The location was great for transport and Médina access. The breakfast was excellent too and they provided us with an early breakfast before our tour upon request at no additional charge. We would highly recommend this Riad.

Thank you to all at Riad Al Bartal for a fabulous stay. The people working at the hotel were friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. Breakfast was delicious as was the evening meal. We were a family of six with two eating a vegan diet. Nothing was too much trouble and the vegan options every day were perfect. The hotel arranged transfers to and from the airport and our day excursions to Ifrane and the Cedar Forest etc. Its not a one size fits all at Al Bartal, it feels very special. The hotel is in a great location on the edge of the Medina so it was peaceful and easy to find, with a great roof terrace. Thank you to Hamza and all at the Riad :))
