Old fashioned comforts and pizazz
We only stayed one night. It’s a beautiful setting and feels safe from the hawkers outside. Every corner is occupied with an artefact or embellishment. the courtyard is beautiful and the light breakfast had plenty of local treats.i didn’t see any television, which was an advantage, but the wifi worked well.

Unfriendly hostel posing as a hotel
Unpleasant, aggressive staff in a hostel located in a dodgy part of the Medina. The alleyways are lined with drug dealers. "Private" bathrooms are separate from the sleeping rooms, across public hallways and staircases. No shampoo, no soap, no amenities provided. Just grubby towels. Rooms are cold, spartan and unclean. Grubby linens, broken lights, no furniture to speak of, no seating, no TV, no safe. No drinking water provided. The manager is a very nasty woman with a very nasty temper who won't accept any criticism of her precious hostel and will email you abuse while you're sitting in your room. It's all a very unpleasant experience.

Nice place to stay in Fes!
It is a nice riad. We encounter some small issues but overall it is a clean place with great service. They even welcome you with tea and cookies.

Great Location
The place is difficult to find, but worth finding. Excellent breakfast and great wifi. If one is into the tannery, the medina and the markets, this is the place to stay. No elevators, so one needs to be fit.

In the Middle of the Medina
The location is excellent for exploring the medina, but out of the way if one wants to go on day excursions. The facility itself is excellent with a great breakfast, and good wifi, If one is directionally challenged, one would find it difficult staying here.

Riad Lalla Fatima
Riad was very hard to find, but later found that every time we went back to it in a small red taxi, (very cheap to take) we just said take us to the Hotel Palais Faras in Ziat, which was just round the corner. We had booked 2 rooms for 3 nights which were clean enough but the bathrooms were not very well maintained with the tiniest sinks and bathtubs which did not meet our needs. On the first day we had beautiful white towels, on the second we had not so nice coloured ones and on the third day, they were appalling! My sister in law's were torn! We didn't know what to expect from a Riad. A Riad is a house without outside windows from the rooms, built because in the olden days, the men of the household were very possessive of their women and did not want them to see the outside world. There was a courtyard where we could sit for fresh air, but it was still very claustrophobic. On booking a Riad one must remember that it's a house where the owner and their family live too. For us, family members with children were visiting until the late hours and were very noisy. Management recommended places for us to see, and were told everywhere was within walking distance but it wasn't. We really missed the experience of a hotel offering information about local places to visit and excursions. We also felt we had to be cautious walking in the Madina.

Fabulous traditional Riad
What a beautiful Riad! Fabulous traditional mosaic tiles, central courtyard with orange trees and fountain. Our hostess Rajae was very welcoming and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable with heater and extra blankets provided as still a bit nippy at night in early March. We had a delicious evening meal of salads, chicken tagine and fruits and hearty breakfast including excellent homemade jams. Would definitely stay again

beautiful intro to Morocco
Beautiful hotel just right for 1 night till we got the bus to Chefchaouen. Not too far inside the medina gate to walk with luggage. Bed was a bit hard. The dinner was fabulous and not too expensive. Lovely service.

A hidden gem
This place was a little difficult to find but well worth paying a few dirhams for guidance. This was by far the best Riad we stayed in throughout our time in Morocco, which was a shame because we only had one night there. We were greeted by the sweetest young lady who immediately brought us tea and have a brief introduction of the Riad itself. We were able to see many of the rooms and can honestly say each one was beautiful and in great condition. You would do well to stay in any of their rooms. Breakfast was a nicer version of the typical Moroccan breakfast-- bread heavy with assorted jams butter and honey.

Riad at the medina
We were really disappointed by the Riad. It was too cold (in winter) even if there are some portable heaters inside the house. The price is too high for what you get! We were in another Riad of similar price in Rabat-Salé and it was excellent. Moreover, I would not recommend it to families with young children. The food is excellent, but the owners cannot understand that a child does not eat as much as an adult. We went with two young children and when we wanted a meal for the two, they gave us a single fork, a single dish and even a single glass! The second night we reserved the meal for the four of us and there was plenty of food left. What a pitty :(

Good food, clean and close to many things
The hotel is a bit hidden but once you find it is ok. It is close to many good sights and you can walk around easily. The food that was served was good (couscous for supper) but a bit pricey. Our room was small but ok for one night. The staff is nice and helpful.

Beatiful Riad with great staff
The Riad is extremely beautiful, our room too. Ladies of the staff are very kind, helpful and gentle. Breakfast was great, tasty and different. The only little problem you probably can expect, is to find Riad. Google map can be neccesary. We definetely recommend this Riad!

親切な家族経営のリヤド
ここのリヤドは親切な娘さんが経営をしていて、御飯やお菓子類はフランスのテレビでも取り上げられたお母さんが作っています。 ご飯はとても美味しく、バスルームのお湯もしっかり出て、シャワーカーテンもしっかりあるので、快適にお風呂に入ることができました。 またフェスに来ることがあれば、泊まりたいリヤドです。 娘さんは英語が話せ、妹さんは少し日本語が話せるとのことでした。 また、お母さんはフランス語かアラビア語での会話でしたが、優しく対応してくれるので、助かりました。

riad très bien, familial et accueillant
Seul bémol : riad un peu excentré du centre de la médina Votre site donne des informations erronées : le transport navette aéroport est de 200 dirham et pas 20, la taxe de séjour est de 25 dirham par nuit et non 2,50, tout cela fait une sacré différence sur les dépenses!...Ce fut la mauvaise surprise quand on a un budget serré....Les propriétaires m'ont dit vous l'avoir signalé par mail...

Un Havre de Paix
Malgré notre arrivée tardive (minuit), les propiétaires nous ont accueillis chaleureusement. La chambre était un peu étroite mais confortable. Nous avons été agréablement surpris de découvrir les lieux au matin. Les espaces sont multiples et bien personnalisés. La cour intérieur nous propulse en Andalousie! Très étrange sensation! Le petit déjeuner était très bon et copieux! Merci au personnel pour son accueil et sa discrétion.

Buona posizione, persone sempre gentili.....
Nel contesto della realtà di una città del Marocco, direi che un buon Riad. Assolutamente niente da dire circa la disponibilità è la gentilezza del personale: sempre sorridenti!!. Abbiamo cenato due volte nel Riad e abbiamo mangiato benissimo anche se nel contesto abbiamo speso abbastanza. Ma ne vale la pena: cucina casalinga. Una volta che ti sei ambientato, ti rendi conto che sei veramente vicino alla Medina . Consiglio vivamente di prendere una guida: le cose da sapere sono veramente tante. Unica pecca, la stanza era un po' freddina. Per spostarsi approfittate dei taxi. 10 minuti di taxi costano dai 50 ai 70 centesimi di euro. Solito discorso per il trasferimento dall'aeroporto.

Dejligt ophold
Godt ophold, hvor et meget behjælpeligt personale gjorde det hjemmeligt og hyggeligt at være på Riad'en. Man skal vælge at spise en aften på Riad'en, hvis man overnatter der, fik en tre-retters menu (Couscus i Tagine - nok det bedste marrokanske mad vi fik på hele vores tur).

Leuk Riad aan de rand van de Medina
Voordeel van dit Riad is dat het gunstig is gelegen bij een stadspoortje en een parkeergarage. Verder is de eigenaresse een geweldige 'chef', dus lekker eten is hier absoluut mogelijk. Lalla Fatima is bekend om haar kookkunsten en zeer betaalbaar. Het ontbijt 's morgens is net als overal in Marokko zoet. Veel pannenkoekjes, jam en honing en weinig ander beleg, dat wel. De muntthee is echt heel zoet. We vroegen de volgende dag om thee zonder suiker en men vergat dit de volgende dagen niet. Het avondeten is echt fantastisch. Men helpt je daar aan een gids als je wenst om niet te verdwalen in de smalle straatjes van de Medina. Veel mensen spreken Frans in Marokko, maar de jonge vrouwelijke manager spreekt ook Engels. Al met al een aanrader voor Fes en omgeving. Zeker door de schone, ruime kamers, het avondeten en de prachtige ambiance.
Prachtig bed

Un très joli Riad !
Le Riad Lalla Fatima est un très joli Riad, dont nous garderons de bons souvenirs ! Le Riad est situé à l'entrée de la Médina, ce qui est très pratique pour arriver tranquillement en voiture et se promener ensuite à pieds dans la Médina. L'accueil et le service sont de qualité, on s'y sent Roi ! Le petit déjeuner est copieux et les repas proposés au Riad sont un véritable régal. Seul bémol à notre séjour : les nuits sont très froides en février, mais c'est indépendant du Riad. Prévoyez des pulls et tout ira très bien !

situation centrale au coeur de la medina
Riad très convivial, nous avions la suite Aïcha, (vivement conseillée),... Fatima, son mari et ses filles ont toujours été présent pour nous et à notre écoute, ambiance familiale, 3 nuits sur place , repas concoctés par Fatima à notre souhait (couscous, tajines, briouates, soupe de poissons) , déjeuner très copieux et succulent (typiquement marocain). Concernant le guide, il était sympa mais sans plus comme d'habitude, ayant beaucoup voyagé à travers le monde, un guide reste un guide , mais nécessaire pour le premier jour pour permettre de prendre ses repères dans les milliers de ruelles de la medina ... Petit conseil, garder toujours vos tickets de retrait ou de change d'argent car nécessaire pour le change en euros au retour !! Conseil: on a vite tendance à se perdre dans la medina, donc verifier toujours l'heure pour ne pas vous retrouver dans le noir et tout tout tout seul !! bon courage pour retrouver votre chemin !!

家族経営的なサービスとアットホーム的な雰囲気
家族経営で、娘さんがマネージメントしている。とってもアットホーム。 RIADもいろいろあるが、よりHOTELに近いものもあるが、ここのサービスと雰囲気は、日本の民宿といった感じ。 住宅街にありおちついた環境に所在する。 従業員の方もすれてなく、初々しい。
