Quiet location yet within 10 mins walk to the medina- a peaceful, calm and soothing oasis in the midst of the chaotic daily life in the old city, the moment we stepped inside we felt all the tranquility and sense of serenity washing over us

We stayed there over two spells - first 3 nights in Fes , then a 2 night stay in Chefchaouen and a final 2 night return stay in Fes First spell was in the room with balcony on the 4th floor with no elevator which is normal in these centuries old Riads, but it was a workout that we could have done without after a day of walking and exploring!

A truly gorgeous historic Riad with genuine charm and helpful support staff from Fatima and Sanae. Excellent breakfast each day with a wide range of breads, fresh fruit, yoghurt, pastries, condiments, eggs and goats cheese. I genuinely felt like a sultan staying in the very large ornate deluxe room with my private balcony and from which I could sit and listen to Fes wake-up or retire. (Also has rooftop available to) Comfy bed, very clean room and bath. Large shuttered windows allowed good light control. I stayed in winter but never felt cold with good auto temp control in room.

More could be done with the rooftop to make it a mingle space for guests.

Our room felt like a palace or a museum of Moroccan architecture and design. The ceiling was stunning, and the room was spacious and comfortable. However, due to the traditional structure of the riad, it was a bit dark, as the windows face the internal courtyard. The hosts were friendly and polite. Our double bed was large and very comfortable. Both the riad and our room were exceptionally clean. It was also very quiet. The location is convenient—not in the center of the medina, but just about a 10-minute walk from it. The riad is also relatively close to the main medina parking area (about 7–10 minutes on foot).

Breakfast (for additional charge) is offered in a room, which I as understood, is not enough to welcome all the guests if they want to eat at the same time. Also breakfast time was quite late (9 am). WiFi was available but was not very strong (interruptions during video calls).

The property was beautifully restored with significant attention given to every detail. The location of the property was just within the boarder of the Medina which made arrival and departure, as well as going beyond the Medina, easy as the Medina is large and complex. The service provided was impeccable from arrival when a staff member had to come and find us in the Medina, to departure where pick up from the property was arranged for us. Breakfast was all you could ask for and more. Our room was on the top floor with a balcony giving us a spectacular view over Fez. We chose our room because it offered the balcony but the trade off was a comfortable but compact room and bathroom. Thank you to Karina and Moohna for your care and for making us feel welcome.

This is a truly special place, it is so beautifully done, the place feels like a palace, and yet so comfy and welcoming. The riad is absolutely stunning, so many beautiful little details and so much love has gone into making it what it is. It's a close (5 mins) walk to the centre of the medina, but so quiet at night. The other thing that makes this place so amazing is the people, Karima is an absolute star, she made me feel so at home and was a fountain of knowledge and advice about fes. She went out of her way to be the perfect host. Also, big shout out to Yaseen, who was an excellent tour guide, definitely ask for him if you book any tours. When I come back to fes, I'll be staying here again!

Nothing, i loved it. Only thing to consider is that as it is a riad, no lift, so that might impact people, but I appreciated the work out!

We had the pleasure of staying at the Palais Fez Riad for just 2 nights Our host Karima told us staying in a Riad should be like staying at your grandmothers house You should feel comfortable and welcomed and safe From the moment the driver Rashid met us at Fes airport (organised by Karima) after our early morning flight from london we felt safe He gently welcomed us to Fez and explained things to us. He stopped us outside the Medina (no cars in there) and casually walked us to our Riad where we were so enthusiastically welcomed by Karima Nothing was too much trouble -the Medina in Fez is chaotic and loud and bustling, our Riad was calm and gentle and homely The steps to the terrace gave us a wonderful view over the medina and the food a real pleasure It felt authentic and was so tasty the filling breakfast and the two dinners were so worth eating there and even the last day when we could not stay for breakfast we were sent with a lovely goody bag Karima even organised a car for the next part of our trip and contacted the driver once we had left Fez to check we were ok A great Riad as in location right in the Medina but more importantly a warm and friendly place that gave us a great start to our 1st trip to Morocco Thank you so much 🙏🏽

One of the most authentic places we have ever stayed! The room with two beds was incredibly spacious, and the beds were very comfortable. The showers were large with really hot water, and the heating through the air conditioning worked perfectly—even in December. The location was perfect—peaceful and away from the crowds, yet just a short walk to everything. You won't need a car during your stay. Staying here felt like living in a palace that belonged to a single family, with stunning interiors that truly capture the essence of a historic home. The atmosphere was magical, and we felt transported in time. Karima, the host, was absolutely wonderful! She assisted us with everything, from booking a hammam to arranging transportation to the train station. Her warm hospitality made our stay even more special. Don’t miss the terrace upstairs—it offers a breathtaking view that makes it the perfect spot to relax and soak in the beauty of Fez. I highly recommend Fez and Riad Fes Palacete for its unique charm and unforgettable experiences. This place is a gem!

The breakfast was good, but we’d love to see even more variety. Adding options like omelets or different styles of eggs, along with for example avocado, could take it from great to perfect!

We spent two days at the hotel and booked a room with a balcony and two beds. The hotel is superb: everything is clean and well-maintained. I want to specifically highlight the interior — it is magnificent: mosaics, high ceilings, Moroccan lamps. If you want to spend time surrounded by exquisite oriental interiors, this is the place for you. The hotel is located near several restaurants and not far from a road where you can catch a taxi to visit local attractions. However, you might not even need a restaurant because the hostess cooks exceptionally well. We highly recommend trying her dinner — it's wonderful. An entire post could be dedicated to the hostess herself, her hospitality, and culinary skills. Here, I will just note her erudition, progressive outlook on the world, and her ability to create a pleasant and friendly atmosphere for enjoyable conversations and time spent. Among the pleasant additions are the options to order a transfer, access to the rooftop, and the possibility to arrange accommodations with other hotel owners in different cities. I definitely recommend this hotel.

How can I describe this amazing riad. It’s like living in a museum. A beautiful historical place located in the ancient Medina with every room having a completely unique atmosphere. The riad it self is located in a very quiet street but at the same time so close to the busy market. We had a beautiful spacious room at the 4th floor with panoramic view of the city of Fes, with all the amenities. The delicious breakfast is a hole experience served at the common space of the riad. Carrima, the hostess is a fantastic joyful and energetic woman and help us in every need we had including organize for our wedding anniversary a magnificent traditional and very romantic dinner at the rooftop. I hope one day to be able to return in this amazing place!

Everything about this location was incredible. The staff were very sweet and helpful as well as knowledgeable about Fez and its history. The fact that this Riad is built in one of the old palaces also makes it absolutely stunning inside. We were shocked at the amount of room and how much space we had. An incredible overall experience with so much help from the very sweet and hospitable staff. The breakfast was also delicious.

Nothing! Only thing we had trouble with was navigating our way from our car into Fez
