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.

Exceptional stay — the best of our Morocco trip

We stayed here from May 13–15, 2026, and had an excellent experience. This was the best hotel stay of our entire Morocco trip (Marrakech, the Sahara Desert, Fes, Chefchaouen, Tangier, and Casablanca).

Our deluxe suite on the first floor was huge, elegant, and full of character. The ceiling must have been at least 15 feet high, which made the room feel grand and beautiful. The bedroom, separate living room, and antique-style bathroom were all very spacious, and the suite even had a charming loft area on the side.

What impressed us most, though, was the outstanding service. Mahmoud was truly wonderful. You can feel that he is genuine and takes real pride in his work — it is clearly not just a job for him. He loves what he does and helped us better understand the city, the culture, and the local way of life.

One especially memorable example was when I realized I had left my belt behind. Mahmoud checked the cost of different options and suggested that using Morocco’s fast delivery service would be the best way to get it back. He arranged the delivery and even communicated with locals in Arabic to make sure everything was handled properly and delivered to me befoire handing back to NY.

Overall, this was a very, very impressive stay. The room was beautiful, the property had great character, and the service was exceptional. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling in Morocco.

Amazing place. Highlight of our Morocco trip. Even though all Moroccan hotels label themselves as riad, they are actually dars (lacking a tree or courtyad garden). This is a true riad featuring a sky high orange tree and a fountain right in the middle of courtyard. The whole place was beautifully decorated and each room was personalized.

The hosts were the nicest. They made sure to put a crib in the room, even though I forgot to ask. They bent over backwards to meet our every request. The breakfast was amazing and their lunch was one of our best meals in Morocco. Their in-hotel hamam and massage service was also extremely reasonably priced and great. Overall, it's a gem of place and you won't regret staying here.

This was a fabulous hotel and the service was excellent! The staff were very attentive and offered us complimentary mint tea and cookies after our Medina adventures each day. Breakfast was different each day and my husband loved the tomato jam. They serve breakfast in the courtyard during winter/spring time when it’s too cold but they also serve breakfast on the rooftop in the summer I believe. The architecture of this place was amazing. Shout out to Otmane for being extra attentive at the front desk. I appreciated that they gave us new bottled water each day as many hotels do not do that. It was amazing to hear the call to prayer from the rooftop (which has an amazing view of the Medina by the way). We would definitely stay here again.

Things that could be improved include: dim lighting in rooms, TV was all in German for some reason, sometimes the outside door took a while to open (they don’t give you a key to the riad main entrance), and the windows didn’t shut very well so you could hear the street noise a bit.

Beautiful Riad. We stayed as a family of four in the Fez Suite, which was luxurious. Service was excellent and breakfast delicious. Location close to Medina was convenient, yet also completely quiet inside. The only hiccough was the failure of the Riad’s driver to pick us up for our ride to the station at the end of our stay, who had otherwise been excellent on arrival. Thankfully it was easy to find a taxi just round the corner! But overall highly recommended. Thank you!

Moroccan Architecture and Traditional Stay

I am happy with my stay , I was really looking for a traditional Moroccan place to stay and Ryad Alya did not disappoint. The architecture is very traditional and I can feel the local tradition in my stay. They also served the best traditional Moroccan breakfast and Idris was so nice to wait for me for my late check in and also for providing me good breakfast himself. I recommend this place in your next trip and they also have a transfer from the airport or from the train to this place.

DARK. Our room was dark with only a small window to the exterior and poor interior lighting. The bathroom was also dark with poor lighting. The alleyway leading to the Riad has no lighting, we arrived at night and the alley was pitch black. We used the lights on our phones to help us find our way.

The breakfast area was pretty and the breakfast was lovely. The staff was friendly, but could be pushy. I also did not like the spa services.

I can't say enough of how great was our stay in Ryad Alya. From Ahlam at the front desk and the rest of the staff, they make our stay very special. There is nothing they wouldn't do to make sure you have everything you need and/or want. if this is your first stay at an old medina, getting to your Riad might feel a little intimidated and maybe insecure, but once once they open the door is like entering another world, It is gorgeous inside and very comfortable and once you know the people you'll know that you don't have to worry. Especially for first timers, I suggest to go out with a tour guide, coordinated with the riad, they will take you every where you want to go and \"translate\" for you. I highly recommend Riad Alya.

Although it was my first stay in my life, I am convinced that this is the best ryad in Fes. All staff is polite and kind. The room has well-balanced with history atmosphere and convenience. I was surprised that the floor was completely swept and cleaned even under the shelf. We used a hammam and massage service. I was very relaxing and the price was reasonable.

Amazing Stay at Ryad Alya

Amazing time here at the Riad. The staff were so friendly, and were very helpful. They arranged for us to be picked up at the airport (additional cost), and carried our luggage to the room. The Riad was beautiful and the room was as well. We enjoyed the dinner and hammam spa quite a lot, even though we thought it was a little more expensive. However, it was worth it because of the lovely staff and they had someone playing music for our dinner. Also, dinner is indoors during the cooler months so don’t expect to eat just on the terrace in winter. The best place we stayed at during our whole Morocco trip.

If you like to be pampered this is the place!

The Ryad is truly beautiful and has an amazing view from the terrace. The room was clean and comfortable, if not a little bit warm for my taste. The staff was incredibly kind and accomidating...almost to the point of being to much in some cases. I mean I knew they offered spa services but I didn't need to see the spa during check in. I think a do it yourself traveller such as myself is not their standard client and my only qualms with the place would be of that nature. That is to say I don't think they are used to guests who would rather just wander into the medina on their own as opposed to hiring a guide. In any every I was very happy with my stay and would go there again if I find myself in Fes again.

It's like wearing a mask for carnival.

The ryad is beautifully decorated w/amazing architecture and furnishings. At first the food is surprising and amazing but as the days wear on, not so. You never got warm enough, especially on the last night when the radiators were set on high but too no effect. The hotel is quick to arrange transportation and guides but buyer beware. A taxi ride to the train station cost 1.50 euros from the street when we obtained it but cost 15.00 euros the next day when the hotel acquired the ride for us, 10 times what we paid for it. Our guide through the hotel cost the same as others but then you had to continue to pay 1 euro here, 1 euro there and 1 euro just to have doors opened for you.

Great Ryad very near the Blue Gate of Fes Medina

Jaw dropping is what happened when we entered this Ryad. We were met with amazing hospitality and very warm, caring staff. The garden area of the Ryad was incredible - tile work, carvings, fountain and orange trees transported us from the hustle and bustle of the town to the quiet and relaxing space in the Ryad. Although we didn't take advantage, there is a spa and the Ryad serves dinner too. Each morning, we ate like kings - lots of fruit, eggs, breads, tea and coffee. On the morning we had to leave, we left quite early and the Ryad not only arrange our transportation but also sent us on our way with a lovely meal to eat in the car. The room was spacious, comfortable, clean, well appointed with toiletries, hairdryer, towels, comfy sheets, free wifi, etc etc.

We traveled with our two children and we shared a wonderful room together. There was a king sized bed, seating area, two twin beds and a large bathroom, and still plenty of place for our luggage and stuff acquired in the Medina. The Medina is very close and the walk is easy. Bank machine and other little shops just down the street if needed. Prior to the trip, I reached out to the staff at Ryad Alya and they were quick to respond and very helpful with suggestions and ideas for our time in Fes.

I can't say enough good things about this Ryad!

Best Riad and Service in Morocco

We stayed for two nights. First of all Hassan and his staff are simply amazing. Their friendliness, service and hospitality are second to none. They all spoke such good english. Anything we wanted to know they were well informed. They took me to a private unground parking lot where we left our car for two days. I think it cost $3.50 per day. We were greeted by Hassan with a cup of fantastic Berber Tea. We ate dinner here and it had to be our best meal in Morocco. Tangine style of course. Food was excellent and lots of it. Breakfast was fit for a king.
The riad is like a palace. It was easily as beautiful and ornate as some of the palaces we saw while touring Morocco. Our room was large, clean and well supplied with bathroom amenities.
Riad Alya was by far the best accommodations and service we saw in our 3 week vacation in Morocco. Everything and I mean everything was perfect.
I would never stay anywhere else when i return to Morocco. I would highly recommend staying here, for all of the right reasons. Location, service, cleanliness, food, comfort and price. This place is so amazing you'll walk away feeling like a king.

Lovely ryad - friendly staff and great breakfast!

Ryad Alya was lovely! We stayed in the Ouarzazate Room for 4 nights, which was very nice. However, a note to couples - it is not a double room, it is a twin room with two singles at either end of the room. The room itself was big and clean, as was the bathroom. We had a few issues with the shower not having hot water (but this was mostly fine as it was so hot in Fes anyway). The staff at the ryad are extremely friendly, particularly Hassan, Enas, and Fatah! We were greeted with delicious tea and cookies upon arrival, so delicious that we ordered them on another occasion (for €6). Hassan and Enas even gave us a box of cookies as a leaving gift, as they knew we'd liked them so much! Along with the staff, the other great aspect of Ryad Alya was the amazing breakfast. We had such an array of foods (Moroccan pancakes, bread, cakes, yoghurt, eggs, orange juice, coffee, hot milk, tomato jam - which was very tasty - and more!) and so much of each that we never needed to eat until dinner! Thank you Ryad Alya!

A stay of a lifetime. We will coem back!

We canot say enough kind or praising words about our stay here. It was magical. The staff- all of them, from the owner to manager to our day to day hosts especially Fatah- were the most welcoming, hospitable and caring hosts who guided our entire Fes experience. We dined in one night to a sumptuous and delicious meal. Breakfasts were superb. We viewed all the rooms and they are clean and meticulous. We also availed ourselves to a Turkish bath and a massage on premises that we are still fondly remembering. We cannot say enough about the Ryad and its people. Having traveled to 48 countries and stayed in everything from a Motel 6 to the grandest 5 star hotels, this is one we will always remember and cherish.

Ryad Alya the perfect place to stay in Fez!

The ryad itself is beautiful with lovely tile and intricate woodwork. The courtyard is filled with trees and elegant furnishings. Every area in the Ryad that we saw was spotless day and night. Our room was lovely and the bathroom very modern and attractive. All of the staff members were friendly and helpful without being overbearing. The night caretaker Fatah, who also served breakfast in the morning, was charming and spoke fluent English and French (in addition to Arabic) and was a joy to be around!! He was most helpful in answering questions about the local sites and history of the Ryad. We would highly recommend Ryad Alya to anyone visiting Fez.

Lovely stay in Fez

My husband and I stayed in the Ryad Alya for 4 nights and had a lovely time. The location is great to all sightseeing, especially of the Medina which is nearby. It is also very close to restaurants and a short taxi drive to the busy and modern Nouvelle Cite. The Ryad is beautifully restored and was very clean and the staff very friendly. Perfectly enjoyable time and would love to return and stay in one of the suites.

Perfect ryad, perfect location,perfect staff

As soon as we walked in from an extremely long day traveling ryad AlyA was an oasis of calm. They offered us a seat in the gorgeous courtyard and brought us mint tea and cookies. We were then shown on a tour of the whole ryad by the extremely helpful Amin. Amin did everything to make our stay perfect, as did fatah. The staff at ryad Alya is incredible. Accommodating and friendly, they really made the stay in this gorgeous ryad perfect. We were blown away.

Keeping calm in Fes

With the hustle and bustle of Fes it was refreshing to know that Ryad ALya was only a short walk away from the Medina. Friendly team and very helpful. The Ryad is beautiful and has its own spa which sets it apart from other in the area. A great place to relax.

Great stay

This is a very charming hotel. The attendants are very pleasant and helpful. The location is close to the Medina but does not get its noise. I definitely recommend it to anyone.

What a jem!

This was the best of the best. This Riad was the most beautiful and the best value for our money during our two-week stay in Morocco. The crafsmanship of the building was breathtaking and a superb example of artwork. The staff was so kind, helpful and caring. If for no other reason, visit Fes just to experience a caring stay in a beautiful environment.

中庭もルーフトップも部屋もスタッフもアクセスもWi-Fiも金額も大満足です。地下のスパが工事中なのと、ウエルカムミントティがないのは残念でした(水が部屋に用意されていました)。車を降りてから平坦な道3分で着きます。

　比較的わかりやすそうな場所の宿を選びましたが、それでも少しわかりにくかった。　夜遅いチェックインにもかかわらずスタッフは優しく出迎えてくれ、ミントティーとクッキーでもてなしてくれた。
　チェックインの時にフェズの概要と主要な場所の説明と街歩きのコツを教えてくれました。　
　朝食は伝統的な旧市街のメニューを出してくれました。設備は古い邸宅を宿として利用するので潔癖症の人は気になる所がいくつかあると思いますが、掃除はしっかりされていたので、私は何の不満もありませんでした。中庭は美しく、とても居心地の良い場所でした。

Excellent accueil dans ce Ryad. J’ai fait 3 Ryad différents à Fès lors de mon séjour, c’est de loin celui où les équipes étaient le plus professionnel et attentionné envers la clientèle. Merci à toute l’équipe

アラフィフ夫婦。屋上からもメディナが一望出来き心が踊りました。昔のままの美しい装飾が印象的で伝統的な家屋を堪能出来き思い出に残るホテルです。小さいお子様連れのご家族や友人同志の方々も。二泊のうち一度はディナーもここで頂きましたが朝食と共にモロッコの味を楽しめるお料理で美味しかったです。スタッフの方も英語が堪能でない私達のために翻訳アプリを駆使してコミニュケーションを丁寧にして頂きました。モロッコに来たら一度はリヤドに泊まると良いと思います。ただ昔の家なので日本の家もそうですが他の部屋の水を流す音が聞こえたりなども若干あるので神経質な方は気になるかも知れません。

The location was really Nice, in the near neighbourhood of the Médina, but quiet. The staff was so helpfull, friendly, sweet and their english was very good. Excellent breakfast, all fresh, custom made and various. Very relaxing threatment in the hamam with relaxing massage! The only thing i van recommend the accomodation to do is upgrade their beautiful rooftop for relaxation moments, now there are only chakra, but a relax bed would-be so Nice to start or end the day! But we had a wonderful stay!

Este estabelecimento seria noBrasil uma pousada de alto padrão. Não espere estrutura de hotel! O predio tem 200 anoa e está todo restaurado. Os quaryos são confortáveis e relativamente pequenos. Falta uma televisão maior e mais canais. O ponto alto é o atendimento. Todos do Ryad lhe fazem sentir um sultao. Estão o tempo todo monitorando O bem estar do hospede. O hotel está dentro da medina, mas consegue-se chegar por taxi com bom preco e facilidade. Vc vai se surpreender com a seguranca do Marrocos. Pôde-se caminhar em qualquer lugar a qualquer hora do dia ou da noite. E quem fala isso é um brasileiro.
