We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Riad Fes Aicha. After navigating our way, the Riad is easy to find, just follow the signs. We were first welcomed with mint tea, a nice peaceful greeting in the beautifully decorated courtyard. Our host was very informative and polite. Being our first time in Fes, we were very naive, but the host helped us immensely, with invaluable knowledge that ensured that we have a safe and enjoyable experience is Fes. Our room, though small, was adequate for the stay, clean and with a comfortable bed. Space wasn’t an issue with the access to the homely courtyard and gorgeous rooftop terrace with equally gorgeous views. The breakfast was the best part, delicious with many options and generous amounts. The location was brilliant being easy access to taxis, restaurants and the Medina, once you know the tricks of navigating the labyrinth that is the old city, you’ll always find your way back to the Riad. Loved our stay, thanks so much to the our host that ensured we had a great stay.

We liked everything very much! The location is perfect, right on the edge of the lower medina next to the souks. Once you cross the street and you're right in the action, which also means you don't have to walk home through any alleyways. The breakfast was very good and varied and the rooms were nicely furnished. I can also highly recommend the dinner, the chicken tajine was the best I have eaten in Morocco. Moreover, the rooftop has a really nice view! But the best thing of all was the friendliness of the host. Zouhair is the best host you can wish for! He recommended a restaurant for dinner and accompanied us there as it was in the old medina and ordered us a taxi for the journey there and back. He gave us his cell phone number so we could text him at any time if anything needed. He really made the stay amazing. Thanks!

The property is located at the entrance of the medina, in a very convenient position at less than 1 minute walk from a square with all services, and easily accessible by car. Both the room and the common areas were very clean and well-maintained. There's also a terrace that offers a beautiful view on the Medina. The breakfast was spectacular, abundant, and varied. But the real highlight of the property is Zohuir. Attentive and caring, always ready to help with anything. He allowed us to have dinner at the property on our first night since our flight arrived late, and the dinner was one of the best of our stay. Upon request, he can also help organising trips or other activities. He gave us excellent recommendations for restaurants to try, often personally accompanying us. It was a pleasure staying in this Riad and I would definitely recommend it!

Nothing

The host, Zouhaire, was great and definitely a highlight of our stay. He took the time to show us around the Medina, gave us good recommendations, escorted us to the exchange shop, and pointed out a good coffee shop. Overall, he made our stay very comfortable. Even though we cut our stay short, Zouhaire helped us book a taxi to the Fes train station on short notice, and he kindly bought a small gift for my wife and me. The room was a decent size and included a very nice breakfast in the price. There is also a rooftop where we enjoyed the sunset.

There is a tiny bathroom, but we didn't mind since we stayed for only one night. The riad can help with tour guide recommendations; however, the Fes medina is small, and you might find the tours expensive for what they offer. I recommend exploring on your own, as you can meet people who will happily show you around. If you still prefer to have a tour guide, Viator is also an option.

Zouhaire was extremely friendly and helpful when we stayed there. He answered to all the questions we had for him and even printed the boarding pass out for us on our last day. Finding the riad at night time can be a bit scary but once you get used to it after the first night then we're fine. The interior of the riad was stunning, couldn't keep our eyes off it. The room was clean, had AC, lovely water pressure and hot water. Towels were offered and replaced everyday plus really delicious breakfast. It's also very close to the madina, first time visiting Fez can be a bit daunting as 10 google maps are not enough to help you find the right directions but Zouhire gave some good tips and dinner recommendation which made it better. Would return next time.

The Riad is really beautiful as showed on the photos. The hall is magnificent, and also the room with big windows and the rooftop terrace were very nice. Zouhaire (the manager) literally did everything to help us. No matter if it was finding a taxi, giving restaurand advice or organising a cooking class for us (highly recommended). We felt 100% welcome and supported in the best way. And also the location is a reason why I would recommend to stay at Fès Aicha. It's in the centre of the medina, but still very good accessible by car/taxi.

We loved that the host, Zouhaire, was helping us so much with finding tours and negotiating the medina and surrounding roads. The breakfast served was fresh and delicious every morning. The host was always willing to help and we were glad to feel safe knowing how secure the property was during the day and night. This is definitely a property for the adventurous, given its location so close to the bustling maze of a medina. The rooftop balcony is exceptional at sunset, especially during the evening calls to prayer from the surrounding mosques. The Riad is at the end of the road, so a 2-minute walk to find lots of friendly red Petit Taxis. Three safe ATM machines are round the corner from the Riad as well. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We felt fully immersed in the culture and although we were only there for three days, we felt like part of the people too! Such is the Moroccan way 🇲🇦

The TV in the room didn't work unfortunately, but the local radio station seemed to! No problem for us though.

The Riad was beautiful and like a museum in its display of historical items. The location was perfect for arrival by taxi. We were greeted by, Zouhaire, the most amazing host that I have ever encountered. His historical knowledge was evident every time we asked a question. I would be remiss though if I do not mention the food. Oh my goodness. Our first breakfast was a to go one and it was amazing. It included warm crepes, yogurt, fresh fruit, and cakes. He then arranged our dinner each night when we done exploring, which again was amazing. We enjoyed the most amazing soups and tajine, couscous, and pastilla. Unfortunately we only had one full breakfast with Zouhaire and I regret that plan because his breakfast was extraordinary. Fresh squeezed orange juice, fresh light eggs, crepes, cake, and the amazing fig jam were only a some of things that stood out. Zouhaire also arranged a tour for us of the city on our way out of town and again the trip was perfect. If my path leads me back to Fez, I will again stay at Riad Aicha and hope to experience the superb hosting provided by Zouhaire.

This was a great place to stay. The building is lovely, the rooms are nice and the decoration classic and with very good taste, the staff was friendly and very helpful. The breakfast was varied, plentiful, and tasty. The location is perfect, at the bottom of the hills, so that it's easy to return at the end of the day after exploring the ups and downs of the medina. The roof terrace is a lovely place to rest att he end of the day as well. Overall, a very pleasant experience.

The bathroom lacked counter space, but that is understandable in an old building converted to modernity. It was not a deal-breaker at all for me, but some people are picky about that, so just informing others.

From the moment we booked our stay the property manager reached out to us to arrange airport pick up and drives for additional excursions while we were in Fes. Kacem even was kind enough to give us a walking tour of the souk and surrounding area when we arrived. It was quite a tour with history and along the way we noticed how he is very well known and liked by all the locals! We were in Fes for 2 1/2 days and Zouhaire was incredibly attentive to everything we needed. He made us feel so welcome and was incredibly generous with his time, often sitting with us and sharing so many details about Moroccan history and culture.we ate dinner at the riad the first night and it was truly delicious. Fatiha, the lovely cook, was so gracious to us and we can tell she takes great pride in her culinary arts and in making guests happy. During our walking tour my daughters inquired about where to get dates and voila! A plate of the most delicious dates appeared at our dinner table! Especially for them!! We can not say enough about the exceptional staff and hospitality at Riad Fes Aicha. The lodgings were meticulous. Our room was right off the beautful courtyard where guests take their meals and relax and I was afraid it would be loud in our rooms but it really wasn't. Breakfast was delicious with lots of traditional treats and just what we needed before setting out for a full day of taking in the sites. Riad Fes Aicha is definitely a great place to stay, right at the heart of this lovely city yet a quiet charming gem! Make sure to take the stars up to the roof. It was a lovely place to take our afternoon tea. All in all, we highly recommend this riad. Thank you Kacem, Zouhaire and Fatiha for a wonderful stay!

Our room was on the small side. The double bed was actually in a lift space. It worked out fine but I was expecting it to be two separate room spaces.
