Twin Room on the First Floor March 2025. The Riad on the edge of the Medina is not very large, for perhaps only 10(?) people in several separate and functional rooms with comfortable bathrooms (with a small dressing room) and small charming bedrooms. These "guest rooms" are located in the two-story main building with a large palatial living room, open to the garden and for guests' use (next to it a small kitchen) and in two separate ground-floor pavilions in a beautiful garden with a small, colorfully illuminated swimming pool (by it are some sun loungers). Each of the elements of the architecture, buildings, garden and equipment of the Riad is extraordinary in terms of beauty, originality, style, quality, functionality, solidity and condition - from planning, selection, composition, layout, maintenance and cleanliness. Birds singing in the garden all day long, there is sun and shade and smells and all the colors of Africa. There are also representatives of fauna:) a white cat trying to avoid being petted to death by guests and a small dog jealous of the guests' attention. Perfect cleanliness. Breakfasts dreamt of in composition and quality prepared and served by a lady who knows both cooking and elegance can be eaten on amazing palace tableware in a salon found only in a sultan's palace or in a museum or in the most expensive hotels. As a whole, despite its small size, the riad gives the impression of staying in a huge palace and vast gardens of sultans from Arabian fairy tales - in a harmonious world of water, exquisite and well-kept plants, tasteful poetry and music. This is a mini world as if from dreams, idealized novels or films, from paintings by European painters discovering the Orient, enchanted by its nature, people and their delicious culture. Such an incredible guest experience would not be possible without the owner and host of the riad - Mr.

- Beautiful garden. We took so many pictures in it, during the day and the night. - Fantastic location. I like the fact that it's not in in the medina, but so close you can easily walk in, and not be surrounded by how busy the old town is. - There's a heater in the bathroom!!!! Only now I'm freezing in the current accommodation, which made me appreciate this heater even further! Missing it..... - Tasty breakfast. Lovely staff and food. - Friendly and helpful host. Jean Claude was very helpful and gave us a lift to the bus station as we booked one that's too early. He also moved breakfast time forward so we could have some food before we start the long coach journey. Will definitely come back to Jean's Riad when in Fez next!

Shower can be intermittent, but to be honest, after checking in a different accommodation in a different place in Morocco, I seriously doubt if and how much people here have showers..... intermittent isn't bad, at least it works for a shower-length of time.

This wonderful Riad is located at a parking lot right next to the main street of the medina which is very nice because it's in the center but also very quiet and peaceful. We got a very rich breakfast in the morning and it is also possible to get a dinner in the Riad but we didn't book it. On our check out day Jean Claude was so kind to call a taxi for us to get to the airport. It costs around 250 Dirham which is approximately 25 Euro which we think is a fair price. We can definitely recommend this Riad. Thank you Jean Claude for making our stay in Fès so special! :)

from the moment we arrived the calm of Riad Jean Claude was perfect after a dusty 4 hour journey. Jean Claude made sure we were hydrated and and welcomed us wonderfully. His Riad is in one of the best locations in the city - a few minutes walk to the Ain Azliten entrance to the Medina which promptly drops you onto the Craft route - cafe's rugs, leather works, honey sellers & a fabulous fusion restaurant all nearby. And because it's a car free zone no city traffic noise to disturb your sleep! No getting lost looking for your accommodation as it's just the best location of any riad we stayed in & a touring car park nearby if you have your own transport. Rooms overlook the beautiful garden courtyard with dipping pool - there's even a resident tortoise! Fabulous hospitality & our requests all met & deliverd with efficiency. Jean Claude has curated a wondeful oasis, with fascinating & unique objects d'art which pepper the riad and make it feel like a home away from home, it's the perfect retreat after a day of exporing the city or beyond - Merci Jean Claude nous reviendrons!

The Riad is very well located just on the edge of the Medina. There is a lovely garden, filled with the sound of birds and with a pool. The room was spacious, with lots of places to put things, and had a little outside terrace. The breakfasts were delicious, and we also ate a tasty evening meal here. Our host was very friendly and welcoming and even drove us to the station.

I only gave 9/10 because of the shower, which didn't have a curtain or door and so sprayed over the room.

Jean Claude and his staff provided top notch hospitality during our stay. Very accommodating to our schedule and went above and beyond to help us getting to places. The location of the riad is walking distance to the old Medina and other major attractions. Beautiful decor and courtyard. The breakfast includes various sweet jams, bread and pastries, fruit salad, OJ, yogurt, and coffee and/or tea. Highly recommend!

The hot shower can be intermittent.

A little corner of paradise next to the medina. Everything is just beautiful, the breakfast is excellent and Jean-Claude was friendly and welcoming… but wish I could have stayed much longer!

Nothing except that the internet broke down. I had to go t a nearby restaurant to get WiFi…. Jean-Claude was waiting desperately for the man from the telecom to come and repair when I left. And altogether, it was even a nice experience to disconnect for a little while :-)

We liked everything and will return! The beautiful garden with the pool, the very comfortable rooms with the best showers of our trip (hot with lots of water pressure!) Fantastic location and the best breakfast of our 2 week trip. Jean Claude was wonderful and his staff was great! Highlight of our trip! We enjoyed sipping a glass of wine (we had with us) in front of our room with a view of the Medina

Everything was perfect

The breakfast was great, the pool was great (unheated but refreshing!), the location - just outside the Medina but with easy access - was very convenient and Jean Claude was really helpful. We will definitely go back to Riad Jean Claude next time we are in Fes.

Nothing could have been better

Little paradise on the edge of the medina. Beautiful garden, very friendly host that helped us with a guided medina tour (highly recommended, otherwise you will definitely get lost). Good breakfast with fresh fruit salad in a wonderful atmosphere. Room was cozy, with a/c with heating function (which u might need in February). You can leave your car just around the corner for small money on a huge parking lot. This is the perfect place if you are looking for an authentic accommodation.
