Irsekalene Holidays from £102

The Fes medina is a sensory buffet of smells, beautiful craftwork, people and sounds. This homestay (Expedia should not really classify it as a hotel) was an authentic medina experience and made us feel like residents of the old town during our 3-night stay. The staff, which consisted of four teen boys, was very hospitable, walking us through the winding maze of alleys when we needed guiding. The room was cozy, and I mean cozy as in comfortable as well as small for a family of 4. The shower pressure was a dribble but it was still refreshing after a sweltering journey through the markets. The beds and bedding were comfortable. Crucially, the AC worked great. This is not a luxury hotel, but it’s great value if you are looking for something memorable.

Beautiful Riad. Courtyard was beautiful with the trees and architecture. Staff were super helpful. Very easy walk to Medina. Rooms were a bit dated. But everything else more than makes up for it. Breakfast was great on the rooftop each morning. Did the hammam and massage on the last night and it was very relaxing. Although a bit pricier than other options in town.

Hicham was extremely helpful! The rooms were a good big size.

I really enjoyed my stay! The location is perfect. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The Riad is beautiful. Rooftop is great. I would stay here again!

Be prepared: the riad is in the middle of the Medina with LOTS of winding roads and dead ends. Even with a map you will likely get lost. It also means taxis cannot get to the riad. High pressure to buy dinner as soon as I arrived that turned me off and then again for a tour even though I said I had one booked. No front door key provided so had to knock/ring to get in. Room was on main floor so could hear people talking in the lobby area. Breakfast was breads with offer of one egg cooked to order
