Meriem has been absolutely amazing! Masterfully she made our stay at the Riad very comfortable with her warm and friendly nature, offering us tea and cakes upon our arrival (and day after day thereafter), we felt very comfortable and at home with everything else. She was very helpful throughout our stay at the Riad answering any questions we had. The Riad itself was stunning and smelt amazing with spacious rooms, a mystery remains in how it was peacefully quiet indoors amidst the Medina, with stunning views from the roof top, it’s a wonderful experience. Definitely recommend staying at this Riad.

The property itself was gorgeous! It is very authentic and well preserved. You wouldn't believe there's a medina right outside the door, it was so peaceful! Meryem and her crew were amazing. They went way above beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Got us a great driver and guide to take us sightseeing. Liaised with the driver who took us to Chefchaouen. Always had copious amounts of mint tea available. The day we checked out, kept our luggage so we could wander around for some last-minute tours. I don't know how they managed it, the riad was always full but we felt like the only guests...that's how personalised the service was. Thank you guys, will definitely be back!

The property was lovely! So beautiful and right in the heart of the Medina. The staff was kind and helpful. The breakfast was excellent. Our suite was spacious and well-appointed. The property was extremely clean, safe and quiet. The value for the room was exceptional. They helped us arrange a guide for a day in the heart of the Medina and souks, which was also excellent. We can’t wait to return!

My only complaint and the reason I scored 9 instead of 10 stars is because the wifi was extremely slow and unpredictable. Unfortunately I had to do some work when I was visiting and I was unable to have an important meeting. The service throughout the Medina was not great, but it was particularly challenging in the Riad. Just a tip in case this is important to you. If I had not needed it, it would have been a perfect stay.

This is a really beautiful old Riad in the heart of the wonderful Souk. The staff were very friendly and helpful, even bringing us tea and cake on the roof terrace spontaneously! The delux room was very spacious with lots of beautiful Moroccan artistic detail, a comfortable double bed, various tables, and a large sofa. Our room was up a quite steep narrow stairwell, but there were rooms (suites) on the ground floor so do check if have mobility issues. We were helped with carrying cases up and down. Taxis can not get right to the door, so do expect to walk through the Souk to reach the Riad, although there is a car park closer by (instead of being dropped at the Blue Gate). The bathroom was very clean and had a lovely shower. The water temperature needed time to adjust but was lovely and hot. We had a very nice breakfast with two types of pancakes, as well as other Moroccan style breads/cakes, with honey and jams. There was also a cup of chopped fruit and a yoghurt pot as well as tea and coffee. Unfortunately the Riad now offers Dairylea triangles rather than the Jben cheese (as many places are doing!). The wifi was excellent, with several options, so you always have a strong signal. The Riad is in a wonderful location, in the heart of the Souk, a 10 minute walk from the Blue Gate.

The walk to the Riad is an exciting experience in itself! I have travelled to many places but nothing can prepare you for Fez or the beauty of walking upto and into this Riad. Breathtaking. As I solo traveller I try and travel on a tight budget but I am happy I paid the extra just to experience such a warm welcome from Miriam and her team (sorry if I have spelt this wrong) also you are staying in a work of art so treat yourself. The single room is cosy with comfy bed. Roof terrace has amazing view of the mountains. Will be back next year

The best place we stayed in Morocco—everything was perfect! The room was spotless, beautifully decorated, and even better than the photos, with a charming courtyard. It also had air conditioning, which was very useful during our winter stay and would be even more helpful in hotter months. Located in the heart of Fes, it’s peaceful inside yet close to everything. Easy access, with a gated public car park just 5 minutes away (extra fee). The hosts were incredibly warm and attentive, sharing useful tips before our arrival and welcoming us with Moroccan tea and desserts. After a day of sightseeing, they invited us to relax on the rooftop terrace and brought us snacks and drinks. They even guided us to great local shops for Khlea. Highly recommended!

Nothing actually

Riad Sidrat Fes was a great stay - the location is only a short walk from the main gate in Fes, so it is easy to get to on foot even with baggage since cars cannot come inside the medina. It is also close to one of the more main streets of the medina, so it felt easy to navigate in and out each day. The room was comfortable and quiet, and it was convenient having the toilet and shower be in separate rooms since my friend and I were sharing a room. The breakfast was great, and the main host of the Riad was helpful in getting us a guide for our first day in Fes - he was great and took us all around to the different sights around the city. The host was also super helpful as me and my friend were quite sick during our stay, and she was super accommodating in sending extra cleaning support to our room, and helping us find pharmacies and providing other help. I would recommend Riad Sidrat Fes to anyone I know looking to stay in the medina in Fes.

We cannot rate the Riad Sidrat highly enough. The interior of the building is beautifully maintained with the original style and features - all of which we loved. The bed was extremely comfortable; the room spacious; the bathroom traditionally Moroccan with a good shower and lashings of hot water; the breakfast of omelettes, fresh fruit and juice, yoghurt, local style breads and pastries was excellent! Add to that the amazing staff who could not do enough to make sure our stay was perfect and we had our dream trip! The hotel is situated in the Medina, which was great fun to explore and get lost in, but amazingly, most of the stall-holders spoke French and English so we always managed to get back to the hotel. We felt very safe and comfortable walking around, and enjoyed exploring the Medina - in fact we are already wondering when we could go back!

I loved the Riad Sidrat Hotel in Fes. The owner, Meryem, welcomed me with a cup of mint tea, which is the specialty of the region. And she gave me good guidance on what things I should see in Fes, and the best ways to see them. The breakfast was one of my best ever. Mohamed, the breakfast guy, put a total of fifteen small items on the table every morning. During my stay, I only managed to finish the entire breakfast once. The most memorable thing of all was the tremendous architecture of the hotel. It is like a miniature version of the Alhambra in Spain, exactly like the photos on the website. I got the feeling that my stay would have been similar to that of a traveller staying in the hotel centuries ago. One very small downside is that, in order to preserve the wonderful ambience, the bathroom was traditional and the stairs were quite narrow, but this didn’t bother me at all. If you want a hotel with the full Moroccan feel, this is it.

Nothing

It is just beautiful! You step in and the world is transported to an Arabian nights feel. The architecture is something else! The courtyards were very welcoming. Climbing up the stairs was a big hard especially with sore knees but it was still worth it! The location is also really close to the parking lot so not too hard to find. It isn’t deep in the medina but on the edge. Meryem was just a wonderful host. So welcoming with a beautiful smile. I asked for many things and she just accommodated my requests. We had to leave early in the morning and couldn’t have breakfast so she arranged some food to take with us. The bedroom was just something. It was so comfy.

Apart from having to climb the stairs there was nothing. The room was small but the size is clearly stated. I have nothing bad to say about my stay. Only wish we stayed longer. I would have spent one day just sitting in the courtyard drinking tea and eating biscuits!
