Great hotel for trip to Fes

This hotel is strategically located by one of the main gates and this makes moving in the city very easy. The service was great from Saeed and Sanae and i really enjoyed my stay. The room is comfy to sleep and the breakfast was simple and tasted good. Definitely a great hotel for the value and i recommend staying here!

Good riad and location

We went there to explore the city and the surroundings. The riad is strategically placed within the medina near Rcif. Hosts are super friendly and very fluent in french and english. Breakfast was generous and tasty!

Live the Culture!

The Riad is a real culture inmerse place. It has all the needed to spend a night. What I didn’t like was the place where it is located; the entrance is very old and dirty perhaps inside it is much better; no good signs to find it and the parking is like 10 minutes away.

Biggest positive about this spot was its location, then the breakfast on the roof, then mediocre wifi.

Other than that however, it was inadequate specifically in the bathroom - no toilet paper, large leak daily from the toilet, and the bath tub was barely functional. If you simply need a place to lay your head for a night then this’ll do, but don’t expect the most luxurious of experiences.

The roof terrace is worth it all, we had there breakfasts (and a yummy dinner) with a view... Our room was very big with a massive double bed. The staff was extremely helpful and welcoming. Location is great to explore the city during the day, although it is not the best at evening/night when the shops close as there are not many restaurants/cafes/bars around...

Lack of privacy, staff could be friendlier

This riad is a bit hard to find, we were calling the host for directions to no avail (no answer) and were constantly molested by children (and everyone else for that matter) to be guided to the riad. Finally we had no choice but use the \"child guide service\" only to be taken through a ridiculously long route (children always do this in hopes of higher tips, so beware, you will lose even more time!). The host was rather unfriendly and didn't even apologize for not answering the phone, claiming we was out looking for us (ridiculous lie). The room was very cold (November) and had transparent curtains (basically zero privacy). Host switches the courtyard light off at 1-2 a.m., talking on the phone until late without caring about his guests.

didn't want to honor booking!!!

We booked here via Venere and got a great price. $21 per night. Well, when we got there they tried to take us to a different Riad. La Source Bleue. We booked a room with patio. We were offered a room with no windows. We flat out refused. Made them take us back to El Riad Bacha. We argued, they became highly aggressive telling me they can put me where they like. I snapped photos of her and went to tourist police. Venere has refunded us the money. But what irked me the most is when they told me the owner did not want to honor the price! Hello! I did not negotiate it. It was offered on a website. There are so many other great riads. Why bother when they want to do the bait and switch?

Good for value if you are on budget

When I am writing this review I am not totally at ease. The room is not as good as it is advertised on Hotels.com. It seems to me that there are two premises associated with the name of this riad, and I was arranged to be staying in a riad which seemed to be more old and less maintained. However, the staff there was amazing, including Sanae, Said (whom I understand to be a new-comer) and the kitchen lady. They offered great help to me regarding all my problems during my journey in Fez. They are amazing people.

We were accomodated in sisterly Riad El Bacha

To make it clear, we never stayed at this Riad but were taken to 'other Riad El Bacha' as the one presented above and originaly booked was unavailable when we showed up in the evening. Our flight arrived at 8.00pm and we could not make it earlier than 10.00pm. This Riad, that I have originaly booked, looks far smarter than the one we stayed in but, as my husband pointed out we got lucky with the location. The one we stayed in, and not the one showen here, is much closer to Rsif gate and parking, which was essential for us as we hired a rent a car.
Therefore, it wont be fair to comment Riad showen as we have no knowledge of it.

Incubo nella medina

Riad quasi perfetto se non fosse che le camere sono affacciate in una delle strade principali della medina (e zona piu' malfamata!) dove di notte la gente comincia a lavorare (stanno effettuando ristrutturazione della medina) e musica a tutto volume, schiamazzi e pure una rissa. Non abbiamo chiuso occhio per tutto il periodo!

Riad in posizione strategica

Siamo stati quattro giorni al Riad El Bacha dal 30 dicembre al 3 gennaio, sicuramente non è lussuoso ma è pulito e il personale (che sono una famiglia) è gentilissimo e sempre disponibile, si adoperano in tutti i modi per rendere il soggiorno piacevole, facendoci sorvolare sullo standard non elevatissimo del riad, che comunque è più che accettabile.
Bisogna ricordarsi che si è all'interno della medina, un quartiere meraviglioso antico e pittoresco dove bisogna accettare qualche compromesso.

Sprookjesachtig hotel met fantastisch personeel

De kamer was super mooi, helemaal in Marokkaanse stijl. De badkamer idem dito. Youssef, de jongen die vrijwel alles voor je doet in het hotel, brengt je ontbijt hoe laat je zelf wil en brengt je overal in de stad naar toe als dat moet. Ontbijten op het dakterras is een ontzettende aanrader, het uitzicht is prachtig. Niks op aan te merken, als je ooit de kans hebt om hier naar toe te gaan: zeker doen!

Dentro da Cultura antiga

Ao chegar na medina me assustei com tanta bagunça e sujeira. Para chegar no Riad percorremos algumas ruelas bem sujas. A entrada do Riad é bem feia e parece um cortiço. Lá dentro a aparência muda, o funcionário que cuida é bem atencioso. A sala de recepção é decorada à moda Árabe, o quarto espaçoso. Café da manhã individual e caprichadinho. Dentro não é sujo, mas é bem antigo e no banheiro, a banheira e azulejos estão velhos.
Para quem vai com crianças não é aconselhado.
Se vc quiser conforto, também não é aconselhado, mas se estiver com amigos e for somente para dormir, ok.... daí da para passar 1 ou 2 noites.
Fomos ao Carrefour junto à um Shopping de taxi e gastamos 150 Dihams, no outro dia fomos de ônibus e gastamos 3,50 por pessoa. è só pegar a linha 29 na entrada da Medina, para ao lado do Shopping.
Pelas pessoas que trabalham lá, eu voltaria, mas pela localização do Riad, não!

Super Riad super service je recommande!!

2 nuits seulement au Riad El bacha mais un super séjour! Un service digne d'un grand hôtel avec ce personnel on ne peut plus accueillant, très sociable, à votre service pour quoique ce soit et connaissant très bien la ville! La chambre était très propre très bien rangée, il y a la clim (non négligeable comme accessoire dans une ville comme Fès) très éclairée et une super vue sur une partie de l'ancienne médina. Salle de bain également très propre.
Très belle ville avec l'ancienne médina, on a juste eu le temps, en 2 jours, l'ancien Fès avec ses petites ruelles, ses anciennes fondations, ses petits shops et les tanneries. Et volubilis le site archéologique romain situé à 80km de Fès, et la ville de moulay idriss. Tout ça a faite absolument si vous venez a Fès!!!
Il vous faut une semaine si vous voulez vraiment visiter tout Fès et ses alentours.
Ce fut un super we. Donc n'hésitez pas a visiter cette belle ville en séjournant dans ce beau Riad avec un petit déjeuner très complet le matin (café, jus d'orange thé croissant pain fromage gâteau marocain œufs).
Personnel, encore une fois, au top! Je recommande!
Merci à Salima et Youssef pour leur accueil! A bientôt
