Riad Braya was the highlight of our stay in Fes, so much that we decided to devote our last day to just staying in, doing nothing and just relaxing in this beautiful riad. We had their best room on the top floor with the private huge balcony/lounging space. Beware it is a walk up with no elevator, but we didn’t care, for our particular abilities. The room air conditioner was superb, pumping cold air non stop, and we stayed in July, one of the hottest months (and they have solar panels on the roof!). The bath/shower water pressure was great, bathtub was huge. The breakfast was one of the highlights as per other reviews, served right on our balcony, it also can be set up on the rooftop and downstairs on the lobby floor. Rooftop in early mornings and late evenings was very nice and chilled space to hang out at. Riad was very quiet and not busy, barely saw other guests, which was to our advantage to be honest, we felt like we had a private experience. They even set up an extra bed for my son, even though he could technically sleep on a large couch in the room. The staff was very nice and hospitable, starting with a mint tea and cookies on arrival - instead of standing by the check in counter waiting for the paperwork to be done, we were lounging and unwinding from the long trip in a spectacular lobby with a delicious tea - little things like that truly show the hospitable nature of this beautiful culture. The staff also arranged for and escorted me to a henna artist at another sister riad, as I wanted to experience and see Moroccan henna art but didn’t want to do henna on the street.

Nothing

Service was the best out of 3 riads we stayed in in Fes (including Riad Fes)!

Large spacious room. Great location in the medina - not deep inside but just enough to still be able to go beyond the walls. Staff were friendly and accommodating.

Our stay was at the end of January, and so the rooms were cold, requiring heat in both the bedroom and the bathroom. I imagine in the summer the riad would be bright and the coolness would be very welcoming. We had booked the deluxe triple and the shower was very awkward

Staff were super friendly and helpful - Anwar, Tarek, Muhammad and Nadia looked after us with a smile. Great breakfast. Lovely traditional riad in the medina - world recommend

Nothing, except there are a lot of steps, so consider this for the less mobile. Plus the small pool is in the main reception area so you may not feel like you wa t to swim there in front of everyone

One of the best places you could ever stay in Fes. Everything about this property is incredible. The riad is so beautiful and huge. The property is kept clean constantly. The staff is really however the best part. Most hospitable people I’ve come across. They go above and beyond to make sure you enjoy your experience.

I can’t say anything I didn’t like. It was all perfect!

The Riad is very clean and quiet, the perfect place to relax! The staff is extremely kind and they strive to give you the best experience you could have in their Riad. The breakfast is great and the food we had for dinner was really nice as well. The room was very spacious and we even got upgraded to a suite free of charge! The pool is not the biggest but it is really nice and helps you with the heat of Morocco. The terrace is quite nice as well, we had both dinner and breakfast there and the view is one of the best I've seen in Fes. The Riad also arranged a Taxi for us at 4a.m. to go to the airport and everyone was super nice despite it being super early. The staff also speaks amazing English, which is always a huge plus since my French is quite rusty and I don't speak Arabic at all!

The staff was amazing and the Riad was incredibly beautiful. We had a palatial suite and were treated like royalty! We had a really great stay here and all of the staff recommendations for restaurants were amazing.

Not sure how to answer the safety question - we were escorted everywhere - so I'm not sure if that was stellar service or concern for our safety. It was during Ramadan - so may not be a fair assessment for year-round.

Muhammad was the best! He was very kind & helpful! The room & Riad are beautiful & bathtub lush!

Unfortunately we found left over take away in the minibar fridge, it was off so no idea how long it had been in there. Also, I didn’t realise that there wasn’t a shower in the room. I love a bath but would like the option of both in a room - that was my fault though as I might have missed this on details of the room.

Feel and experience in Morocco style riad inside the Medina. The staff of Riad Braya are all awesome. What say special thank to Tariq who was the main staff taking care of us during our stay there. Tariq is very friendly and professional. The quality and value staying at Riad Braya exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended!

No

We had a very short stay (5 hours) as our flight from Spain to Venice (due French strike) was cancelled and we were redirected via Fes. The hotel turned out to be amazing and we organised a driver to pick us up. Unfortunately, we arrived late at night and our driver could only take us so far as our accommodation was in the old city. The driver had very little english and stopped the car in a very shady place and we had to drag our cases a couple of 100 metres down dirty lanes to get to our hotel. Lots of shady characters hanging around. I actually felt scared. When we got inside, the accommodation was fine, but no food. We decided to just go to bed and booked a driver to pick us up early.

Perhaps, if the hotel stated that they were down a dirty unlit lane and the only part of the hotel that was visible from the street was the front door, perhaps we may not have been so scared or unprepared.
