Great position in the center of the Medina, few meters from Place Rcif where taxis can drop you off. The riad is very simple and spartan, yet for the price of a cheap european hostel you get a big room with private bathroom plus a good breakfast. There is a nice terrace at the top. Overall our experience at this riad was pleasant even though there were some small improvable things, e.g. the floor is not perfectly horizontal and so are the beds, the rooms are not remade every day... All in all I would recommend this riad to young people, group of friends and people who are adaptable and on a budget.

Having breakfast with the jacket is not the best experience, maybe some heating could have helped.

We spent 4 days in this fantastic Riad in the Medina of Fes. The hosts, both named Said, are two special people—kind and welcoming. They met all our needs and organized every tour for us, both in and outside of Fes, during our stay. The location is excellent, easily reachable from one of the main gates at Rcif Square, about a 3-minute walk. The Riad is clean and equipped with everything you need for your vacation, featuring the typical architecture of a Moroccan Riad. The breakfast is generous and very good, carefully served—even on the terrace when the weather is nice—with a stunning view over the entire Medina.

I can highly recommend this riad! You will be welcomed by the warmest and friendliest staff ever and there is just a great atmosphere. We got help with everything, we didn‘t have to walk to restaurants or the bus stop by ourselves but got guided and when we got lost in the medina we got immediately help on whats app. The terrace has a breathtaking view and the breakfast is really good. When we left for our Sahara trip early they even packed a breakfast bag for us. I would definitely stay there again, so if you read this, this is your sign to book Riad El Bacha, you won‘t regret it :)

I have been travelling since a long time and it’s one of the top three places I have ever stayed, Said and said are some of the best hosts you can ever find, helping you out on even topics even they don’t have to :) the view from the toproof, breakfast the design of the interior, the rooms is crazy beautiful♥️ you have everything you need from hot water beautiful showers good breakfast and a good stay with good location

The only bad side was we had to change our programme as we were not expecting a city and a riad as good as this with such a price ✨they made us want more, we will have to come back here as soon as possible and just stay in the riad

Everything about this place oozes old charme, and perfectly encapsulates the ancient feel of this age old city. It's tucked away in a somewhat unprepossessing corner on the edge of the labyrinthine Medina (although it'svery easy to find), but once you're inside you're really in for a treat: huge, airy rooms retaining the fine features of aristocratic houses. Yes, the building is old and could probably do with some small renovations in places; but there's something of a fading grandeur enveloping the space, and if you're into that atmosphere, full of history and cultural authenticity, the place will just enchant you. This said, aside from any architectural or logistical musings, what makes the place absolutely outstanding is the people running it. I honestly would have not had half as good a time had it not been for the incredible, heart-warming and truly unsurpassed hospitality and kindness of the host Sayd. He made me feel like an old friend, and we spent long hours talking about anything from politics to art. He is one of the most welcoming, genuine and intellectually curious people I've had the luck to come across in my travels - and surely the very reason why I travel: the encounter with humanity, beauty and cultural diversity. To top it all off, the wonderful maid cooked an incredible meal on our last night, which we shared with other guests. There was plenty of couscous, various delicious meze starters and of course tea. It was an unusually wet evening with torrential rain, and being able to stay in and just enjoy the conviviality of other like-minded folks was the best I could have hoped for. Thank you Says and staff - you made my time in Fez one of my most cherished memories in my Moroccan visits, and really look forward to seeing you soon again!

Leaving the place!

This riad is the best one we were staying during our Morocco trip, and we changed 5/6 of them. The owners of the Riad are so nice and they were here for anything we need. Rooms are very big and comfortable with everything we can possibly need during our stay. Breakfast is amazing, and you can have it on a terrace with a view of whole medina. If we are coming to Fes again we would definitely choose the same accomodation.

The property was beautiful and the location was fantastic - right in the Medina! The best part, though, was definitely Saïd. He was such an excellent host and went above and beyond for us. He helped us book & plan our travels and activities, made us delicious breakfasts (very early when we had to leave early), and was always there for us if we needed anything at all. 10/10 service, highly recommend this Riad for you Fes trip!

Nothing.

Our stay at Riad el Bacha was more than we could have hoped for. Saïd was so kind and helpful, booking tours for us, walking us to restaurants when we wanted recommendations, and making our stay easy and comfortable. He helped accommodate however we wanted to experience Fes. We enjoyed having breakfast on the ropftop terrace and felt looked after the whole time, especially after feeling a bit fragile post travel. We enjoyed the hospitality so much we stayed for two extra nights!

Our hosts Said and Said were so helpful and kind. The Riad is beautiful and has the best view from the shady terrace. Location is perfect.

Some of the beds were uncomfortable and it would make a huge difference to upgrade sheets and towels. I would definitely book again despite this due to amazing staff and location.

Beautiful traditional Riad in a great location. The terrace has an amazing 360° view over the city and the room was spacious with all the basic necessities. Breakfast was served on the terrace and was tasty and varied. But the best thing about this Riad is the staff, many thanks to both Saïd, they are amazing people and always available whenever we needed something. They printed our boarding pass at the last minute, and catered to all our needs, while also making sure we always had mint tea and cookies :) their amazing hospitality made us feel at home and will definitely be back. If you are in Fez, no need to look further and choose Riad el Bacha!
