Fez hotels near University of Al-Karaouine

Pros: Riad was amazing, so clean and staff were so friendly and accomadating, especially Simon he could not have been more helpful with information and organising a trip to the blue city, would highly recommend staying here, very comfortable and peaceful ambiance.

Pros: We had the most wonderful stay at this riad! We got information about where to park and how to find the way to the riad. It’s not easy to find a riad in fes, but this one was already marked on the streets so you could’t get it wrong. Also the communication was very fast and clear. We immediately got tea and cookies when we arrived. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We had the best breakfast and the seasonal juice was amazing! Simon really made us feel like we were home in the riad. We had a nice chat and he brought us tea by the pool. He made sure we didn’t miss anything! The room was great and we even got an update to a more expensive room. Everything is cleaned every day so it was very clean. The room also has everything you need. It even has a jacuzzi on the terras! You also have a great view over the city from the rooftop. The rooms are as in the pictures. An amazing place to get away from the busy old medina. The riad is just a few minutes away from the most known places in Fes like the blue gate. We didn’t have dinner at the riad, but we saw other people having dinner and the food looked really good! If we return to Fes, we will also return to this riad and we will recommend it to other people.

Cons: Nothing, everything was perfect!!

Pros: Staff very kind and accommodating. The riad was quiet and peaceful and I rarely saw anyone else there. My room was well-decorated, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful and good. Bed was large and comfortable with good quality bedding.

Cons: Small thing, but perhaps the bathroom could be refreshed with a bath or new shower. I wasn't able to close the shutter in the bathroom so it jutted into the shower. I would have liked the option of a more Moroccan breakfast.

Pros: Everything the moment I entered the Riad and the hospitality of Hussain To our royal suit and the terrace outside Everything was just perfect

Cons: Breakfast was decent Wish they change the shower at the royal suite The pool was so cold wish there was a heating system

Pros: Convenient location inside the old Medina. Stunning riad, impeccable service, good breakfast. The stuff goes out of the way to help it’s guests.

Cons: N/a

Pros: Beautiful and clean lines . Very central . Friendly personal . Amazing rooftop.

Pros: Everything. From the moment I walked in Mohammed was incredible. He brought me tea and cookies. Gave me a tour of the hotel and my room. It was easily one of my favorite experiences of my entire trip. I will be coming back.

Pros: Definite is the best hotel in Fez I am a worldwide traveler and always travel around the world and Riad Braya is the best service hotel i stay in my 20 days trips in Morocco , I am so happy to meet the staff Simon and Muhammad they provided the best hospitality during the two days of my stay . Simon is a very cheerful and strong person he need to run up and down in the Raid to serve the breakfast or dinner in the terrace all time and the terrace is a bit high for everyday need to go up and down i find is it a very tried job and sometimes only him is on duty but he still keep smiling all time to fulfill his job well. i Love to talk to them and they are very kind people to help me in my stay even my birthday is amazing arranging to upgrade me a room and a beautiful birthday cake to me. I am so happy for two of the best staff they are really my friend in Fez and help me a lot of feeling safe and comfortable in Fez. Once again i will say Simon and Muhammad is the only reason i will give 100% best service in Raid Braya , i hope one day i can see them again. Hope them all well !

Cons: Nothing for me ! i felt bless to stay here

Pros: Great place to stay in Fes. Beautiful decor and a comfortable stay for three people. Short walk to great attractions and food. Stunning rooftop terrace to view Fes at night. Mohamed and Simon were wonderful hosts for us, even arranging an early breakfast before we left which was delicious!

Pros: The staff was really friendly and helpfull.

Pros: Nice room with a small private terrace.

Cons: Check the bathroom towels, ours were clearly dirty. Overpriced.

Pros: Great decor. Good staff. Very good breakfast spread.

Cons: Location was good, but needs short walk with all luggage.

Pros: Room, breakfast and host. Taha was very friendly. Abdu nice guy always ready to help. Must stay with them

Pros: The Riad has a lovely common area that is comfortable and inviting to lounge in or enjoy Moroccan tea in. The hosts-Tahir was exceptionally friendly and attentive. He provided us a map and recommendations. The location of the Riad is about a 15 minute walk to the heart of the old city.

Pros: The staff were amazing and dedicated to ensuring we had everything we needed. Abdul packed us lunches when we had an early start, made sure we were comfortable in our room and when my husband slipped and sprained his ankle, he carried him to a taxi so we could go to the hospital. The riad was beautiful and we had a gorgeous balcony area. It was very clean.

Cons: The location of the riad was far from the main mosques etc that me and my husband wanted of travel to.

Pros: It was a big room for 2 people.

Cons: The room didn t have a fridge.

Pros: Nothing than room itself. Room we stayed was fine however there was a weird unpleasant smell inside all the time.

Cons: Our experience with this hotel was horrible. It is said in their description that there is a traditional moroccan hammam and treatments in Riad. When we arrived Riad, receptionist said that hammam is broken and will not be fixed for weeks. When we called booking to complain about, suddenly it appeared that they have “hammam” working. Of course they made it up to avoid refund/cancellation. Later, when we wanted to take a hammam treatment, they took us to the dirty room with housekeeping/cleaning facilities inside and we were informed that the housekeeper of the hotel will do our hammam treatments. Ridiculous, not? In a short, this place is fraud! Even though it is called "riad and spa", they dont have proper facilities for spa and they are not transparent/honest about what facilities they have. Addition to that, the man worked in receptionist was very rude and it seemed he hated his job. He was completely unhelpful during our stay and could not accommodate any simple request we had. Breakfast was not fresh either and if you need to leave riad earlier than 8 am, they expect you not kindly ask but beg for early breakfast. Just note that, in any other riad we stayed in Morocco, we were given an early breakfast when we requested it day before.

Pros: The staff were excellent. Good reception.

Pros: Loved the beautiful patio with fabulous wall deco, furniture and fountain in the middle. Such a calm and relaxing space. The staff was very nice and helpful. The diner was delicious. Eating authentic food at an authentic atmosphere of this old riad is definitely part of Moroccan experiences, worthwhile trying. I fully recommend Riad Zamane.

Cons: No issue about this wonderful riad. — In the neighborhood, some youths / children idling at the street were sometimes noisy (including late at night) and annoying. This may be a common issue for many different riads located in the same street. (Though, we are foreign visitors and are allowed to stay in local people’s living space, so it is by no means intended to impose tourists’ comfort standards.)

Pros: Main atrium was beautiful and ornate, the suite had a nice private terrace. Staff member Abu was also very friendly and helped us to feel at home

Cons: Bedroom and bathroom were tired, and we would have appreciated a duvet. We were also asked to return the key on leaving the riad for dinner as they only had one! We were also asked to pay the bill in cash which wasnt mentioned on booking through this site, which caused a little inconvenience.

Pros: Traditional design at its best, an amazing hideaway just meters from the center of Fes. Exceptionally hospitality from all staff. Really nice breakfast and dinner in the restaurant next to the pool. I wish I had more days!!!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Beautiful property, amazing pool and excellent location

Cons: The roof terrace was being refurbished while we were there so were unable to use it.

Pros: Best accommodation I've ever stayed in. It was so authentically Moroccan and the staff were so accommodating. Plus amazing breakfast and food (even if they were European prices).

Cons: Some rooms are quite high up, so if stairs are a problem you might want to check your room but for us this was no problem.

Pros: Meals were amazing. Service was top notch. Everything was just beautiful. We felt like we had a beautiful palace all to ourselves. Great staff. Very safe.

Cons: Pool was very cold. Difficult to find off the alley. We didn’t like the Medina at all. Parking is a huge hassle and the parking lot swindlers almost ruined our arrival. Horrible to drive into.

Pros: This hotel completely exceeded my expectations. It was even better than the photos. I had some of the best food here for my entire time spent in morocco. The hotel staff were so attentive and so friendly, I absolutely love this place and would recommend anyone visiting Fez to stay here. one of the two nights spent here was very entertaining. Whilst my friend and I were enjoying dinner near the pool, people were playing traditional music, doing henna, and a tour group were also enjoying a cooking class run by the hotel. very happy with the experience

Pros: Clean and large rooms. Very quite. Top room was really nice.

Cons: Residential part of Medina, lacks attention to detail in both service and look and feel. Was expensive.

Pros: The best thing about this riad is the staff. They are all very helpful. Zechariah speaks about 5 languages as far as I can tell and is enormously helpful. Mohammed is very helpful too, as was Nordine. The owner is lucky to have such a good team. The riad itself is very beautiful. We had a lovely suite called Habiba, named after the owner's wife. The food was good - we ate dinner there twice and the breakfasts were generous. Two tips - there is parking very near by, about 200m from the riad. If you pay them generously (say 30 Dirham per 24 hours) they will make sure you always have a space whenever you return and our car was perfectly safe for 5 days, coming and going as we pleased. Secondly the riad is not signposted from the road. You should look for the pharmacie Fatima and park there. Ignore any unofficial guides - the riad is just around the back and you can ask directions from the shop. If you go in winter wrap up warm at night when out and about. It gets close to freezing!

Cons: The roof terrace is not yet open - I hear that the owner has grand plans for it following the purchase of a third riad next door, which they will knock through and create more rooms and more social space. But this won't be ready for use until later in 2019.

Pros: Beautiful and large room with good amenities.

Cons: The riad could have added a hot pot and tea and coffee in the room. But they were her prompt in giving us hot water whenever we asked for it

Pros: Courtyard was beautiful and relaxing

Cons: Everything about this experience was horrible. After making a reservation through Kayak, I contacted the Riad directly to check if they can arrange for an extra bed in the room. The Riad said they didn’t have my reservation so I sent along the reservation confirmation I received from Kayak’s partner site. The Riad subsequently responded and said that they didn’t have any rooms so they would accommodate us at Road Myra which was generally in the same location and looked good online so I agreed as long as the same requirements and rates would be honored. The Riad continued to communicate with me about airport transfer etc which lead me to believe that the same owners or management staff manages both the roads. When we got to Riad Myra, it was a horrible experience. At first, they claimed that they didn’t have my reservation, didn’t communicate clearly, didn’t tell us about Riad amenities (we were coming from marrkech and had a wonderful experience at 2 roads here), and proceeded to give us a shitty standard room with such low ceilings that we felt claustrophobic. When I told them that I had booked a suite and absolutely needed it starting next day since our third friend was arriving they said they would move us the next day. Next day, on inquiring about airport transfer for my friend, they acted clueless. Then called the original Riad and proceeded to take over the arrangement . When I asked them to adjust the room price given we didn’t get the suite on first night, the manager, Salma said she would talk to the other Riad. Subsequently Salma avoided all eye contact and communication with me for next 3 days. On the final day she got one of the porters to settle the dues and I requested to speak with her regarding my question. She reluctantly called, spoke to the other Riad on phone (which she had clearly not done before as promised), gave me vague answers and proceeded to charge me 40 € extra per night for my third friend although we had agreed to to 30 € in prior communication on email. Overall I recommend everyone to stay away from road al amine fes and Riad Myra. I urge the management to ensure staff and especially manager, Salma doesn’t ruin the guest experience.

Pros: I spent nearly a month in Morocco staying in numerous love at ions throughout the country, and I can say unequivocally that Riad El Amine Fez was the nicest of all! The staff was welcoming the moment I arrived. The Riad was beautiful and unlike many who have a covering over the courtyard permanently Riad El Amine Fez employed a retractable cover above the courtyard that they were not shy to open up.and enhance the ambiance & magical Moroccan light of this enchanting accommodation. I would be remiss if I didn't also didn't say I had the two finest meals in my entire stay in Morocco! As we say in the US, this wonderful & unexpected home away from home, was a Home Run!!! The staff arranged for an all day trip with my special request for a fluent English speaker in the Middle Atlas Mountains that was simply sublime, and I would express my many thanks to Mustafa for the memories that'll last a lifetime in this magical place that this Riad helped play a significant part!!!

Pros: Breakfast was excellent and the location was ideal for visiting the Medina. The staff tried very hard and were very friendly.

Cons: There was building work going on within the Riad which mean't that we were unable to use the roof terrace. This wasn't explained to us prior to our booking

Pros: My attractive, quiet room, plus the excellent breakfast with delicious coffee/hot milk, freshly squeezed orange juice, omelette and a selection of bread/Moroccan pastries, all served with style and care.

Cons: I suggested a bedside light in my room would have helped reading at night, but this is comment, not criticism

Pros: The House itself was beautiful and easy to find from "Batha" or the "Blue Gate".

Cons: When we told the staff that there were 40 Euros from our room missing he pretended he didn't understand our English although we talked perfectly fine before that. My friend in the other room had bites all over her body that were definitely no mosquitos...

Pros: This is a beautiful hostel with super attentive staff who were always available to give me directions or even walk me directly to places. The breakfast is superb and the wifi works fast. My favorite aspect was how peaceful the hostel was, which is nice to have after spending a whole day in the medina.

Pros: The hosts were very helpful with showing us what to do while in Fez and the breakfast was great. The location is right next to the Medina, great for going exploring.

Cons: The shower room had a smell to it, and the room is not very isolated sound wise.

Pros: We stayed one night and it was comfortable, I can’t say enough how amazing the staff were... the guy who’s name I can’t remember was absolutely amazing.

Cons: Maybe next time give a cleaner towels... other wise all great:

Pros: I received a very warm welcome and the view from the terrace was amazing. Everybody spoke amazing English and they were very thoughtful. The room was a good size and very clean.

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: This small hotel is very good value for money. Our room was sufficient. Breakfast is good, mint tea is perfect. Staff is very very helpful. The place is great if you want to whole medina experience.

Cons: It's very hard to get to the hotel. Make sure you have someone that takes you there before entering the Medina. Otherwise you'll get a hard time avoiding the kids or people who will charge you money to take you (or not) to the hotel. Also breakfast starts at 9, which is a bit of a hassle when you go on a tour at 8. They give you a lunch bag though.

Pros: Staff Abdul and his friend were super kind, nice breakfast, roof top was so cool

Cons: Only one thing, there was a dust or sands inside the duvet. So i had to clean myself.

Pros: Everything was the best!

Cons: Cold water under the shower, but even that it was the best place to stay in Morrocco. ( we had 8 different places)

Pros: Perfect location in the Medina between the Blue Gate and Batha square. A/C available and working, mandatory in Fez in August. We appreciated the staff opening the house door for us 3 or 4 times between midnight and 6AM.

Pros: A really excellent place, wonderful value for the money. Abdul and the rest of the staff were extremely nice and accommodating, helped me with everything I needed, and the room was nice and air-conditioned. Excellent breakfast as well!

Cons: No shower curtain so water had a tendency to spread across the bathroom floor during a shower.

Pros: The staff couldn't have been more helpful and the breakfast was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble and the location was great too. If travelling by taxi get them to drop you at the post office in Batha and it is to the right, down the steps then right again.

Cons: Nothing, everything was great.

Pros: The location of the property was good. it was near the main square, close to all attractions and easy access by taxi. You have to go through an alley to eat to the riad and the host picks you up the first time which is great because otherwise it would be hard to find. I would suggest adding a bigger sign to direct people to the riad.

Pros: Hosts were really nice, they even gave us better room then we reserved. The breakfast was also really nice and teasty.

Cons: It was really hard to found the riad, it shoud be better marked on streets.

Pros: Great location, beautiful riad, very helpful host

Cons: All good

Pros: Good location ..host is a nice guy.

Cons: the riad looks neglected and it is quite smelly.the ladies that welcomed us dont know English and we couldn't communicate .in general disappointed from the people at fes

Pros: Great host

Pros: our stay was great! we liked the decoration of the riad, it was beautiful. the breakfast was nice and the terrace has a great view of the medina. the room had everything we need and it was clean. Brahim was very nice host and he was very helpful. Thanks for everything Brahim. if we come again to Fes, we will make sure to stay in here :)

Cons: -

Pros: Ibrahim was the best host we ever had. Everytime he manages to do that little extra for you, so it's very comfortable to stay in his riad. It's not only the explanation he gives you about the city and things to do or visit, it's also his kindness and interest which will cause a carefree stay: asking whether you need anything, printing our boarding passes, arranging an airport transfer for us, and he even lefted a take-away breakfast very early in the morning when we had to catch our flight. Then the riad; it's like a small palace, a really beautiful place with as highlight the rooftop with exceptional view over the medina.

Cons: When we arrived at the riad we had to wait a few minutes before the host arrived and let us in. But neighbours called him and he was there within ten minutes to welcome us friendly with Moroccan tea.

Pros: The personnel/staff was outrageously friendly , helpfully , entertaining and accommodating

Cons: If I would know , I would definately mention it but there was really nothing I would describe as something I did not like , maybe the roof terrace which exist of 2 elevations where the first and lower deck showed private to me

Pros: Location was perfect. Its in outskirt of Medina and therefor easy to reach and get out if you need to catch a taxi. I was thinking to take a riad in the center and happy I chose Sunrise, Imagine carring all the luggage in heart of medina. Ibrahim is very nice and always happy to help, he gave us instructions how to navigate in medina and gave us paper map and pinned attractions for us. Rooftop terrace has fantastic views

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The place is situated just next to Place R'cif, from where you can enter the Medina. It's a bit outside the Medina so it's nice and quiet. The room was nice and spacious. The breakfast was really good! :) The water in the shower was super warm and had high pressure. The owner that was there was really nice and friendly :) They also have a nice rooftop that looks over the Medina. Totally recommended! :)

Cons: The bathroom needs a good cleaning.

Pros: Large rooms

Cons: Bad mannered receptionist .

Pros: Only good thing was the location of the hotel.

Cons: Room was not clean when we checked-in. We defintely saw that someone laid down on the bed. We saw the marks on the bed. Also Leftover of someone else’s roomservice was left a whole day in the corridor. Only after the second time we mentioned it they took it away. Not worth the five stars!!!

Pros: This hotel is really nice but the staff are awful. This is supposedly a 5 star hotel. The facilities are nice but the staff should also offer a good service to guests which they failed to do. We wanted to add an extra bed to our room as we had an extra member of my family join us (which I was happy to pay for of course). Me and family had been travelling and were all very tired and wanted to sleep. The hotel were quick to take payment for the extra bed but it took them nearly two hours to actually bring the extra bed to the room. I kept trying to follow up on when it would arrive but the staff were all so relaxed. You don't expect this kind of service from any kind of hotel and especially a so called 5 star. After trying to call reception several times from my room to askwhen the bed would arrive so I could sleep they refused to pick up the phone. When I came down to reception there were three staff members all playing on their personal phones. I was so disspointed and angry! At check out, we checked out and made our way to the outdoor swimming pool for a few hours as our flight was not until later on that evening. We were told by the staff member at reception that after check out guests are not allowed to the use the pool or any hotel facilities. Being well travelled and having experienced hundreds of hotels around the world I have never come across this rule and was honestly shocked. The hotel was empty so this made no sense whatsoever. I don't recommend this hotel at all!!!!!!!

Cons: The staff were so relaxed, unprofessional which really ruins the overall hotel reputation. I will not be returning to this hotel and will not recommend it to any friends or family members!

Pros: The location is good

Cons: Very very dirty. Barely clean

Pros: The location

Cons: Very dirty and the staff very slow

Pros: Swimming pool

Cons: The staff at the reception

Pros: The hotel was fabulous. Staff were great. Pool excellent. Room clean and tidy with a lovely bathroom. Fantastic 3 days.. will definitely be back and recommend it to others.

Cons: Loved everything

Pros: Parking Close from fez mall Swimming pool good One night staff is very good

Cons: No internet the wifi very week and almost no signal. The house keeping not good as this hotel 5 stars.

Pros: Loved our patio overlooking the pool. The pool was great! The lovely lady at reception extended our stay at the same rate we initiially had without issues. There is a mall and Carrefour next to the hotel.

Pros: Location is fantastic, close to the new city and Mall next door

Cons: Very poor WiFi, rooms weren’t entirely clean and staff weren’t forthcoming to reasonable requests.
