“The best experience. The Riad was beautiful, peaceful, clean and welcoming. Omar the manager could not do enough for us. His recommendations were great and he even walked us to where we were going. He was so helpful and kind. I highly recommend staying at Riad Fez Mahal.”

“Beautiful traditional Riad, in the Medina of Fes-el Bali, easy to reach from both Batha and Bab Boujloud, in a very quiet street. Upon entering we were struck by the beauty of the Riad, recently renovated and cared for in every detail, with a small garden and a panoramic terrace. The owner Taoufik — friendly, welcoming and smiling — made our stay magical. We will always carry it in our hearts.”

“Omar went out of his way to accommodate our needs, such as serving our food at the terrace which has splendid views, and letting us participate in the food preparation — like a cooking class to make our tagine dinner. The bed was very comfortable and the room very quiet. Highly recommended.”

“Nice riad in a great location and at a good price. There are many riads in Fes, and we were very happy with our choice. Omar the host was very helpful — with our luggage, with recommendations, and with everything in between. Breakfast was good, staff was always friendly, and the riad provided laundry service.”
