I would definitely stay here again. The team at Riad Adarissa - Haddou and Ana in particular - were so welcoming and warm. I am so appreciative of their service and generosity over my say.

The location of the riad is great and near landmarks - like the Blue Gate - so getting lost/navigation back to the riad is easy. Stepping out onto the main street turning right are local markets with mountains of fruit, home goods, local food supplies. It's great. Turning left are more local craftspeople stores with leather and textiles.l etc on the way to the famous tanneries.

At the riad, breakfast is free and you can pay for a Moroccan dinner cooked in the kitchen by Ana. However outside on the main street are numerous really good restaurants you can enjoy as well. In particular Sodfa which is so homely to the right. And to the left I had Pastilla the Fes speciality and one of the others.

The terrace in the roof has a great view of the rooftops of Fes.

The Riad is beautiful. Housekeeping is great and the road is very clean. Yet the pictures of the riad make the Riad look a little bit more luxurious than it is. I would absolutely stay here again. But a few tweaks - like toiletries provided, double curtains on the room I was in rather than just a sheer one. Just a few cosmetic tweaks would make it perfect.

A very beautiful place with kind hosts, the Riad Adarissa in Fes was a perfect place to introduce us to Morocco. We stayed in the Senior Suite, which was big for the two of us, decorated tastefully and even had a traditional bathing area. The room was well equipped with extra blankets and heat (we stayed during winter). The terrace had a panoramic view of many of the sites in Old Fes, including the Merenid Tombs (closed but you can still see them from afar). The breakfast was truly a continental mix of a Morrocan specialty (e.g., one pancake) and western breads.

This riad is truly wonderful, conveniently situated within walking distance of the Blue Gate. The interior is beautifully decorated, and they offer a generous and delicious breakfast. Haddou, the host, was very kind and provided us with excellent recommendations. Our room was clean and comfortable. We sincerely appreciate our stay!

Great location very close to food outlets and Blue Gate for self location. Great rooftop relaxation area and view, super professional staff Fatima and Noureddine who arranged for private pick up from train station and a porter at the gate to carry my luggage and direct me straight to the hotel. They did this on departure also.Beautiful Riad also, I would highly recommend Adarissa.

Riad Adarissa is moments from the blue gate 'Bab Boujloud' within the Medina. Enter the gate, walk to the first turn off to the left 'Serrajine', continue for about 10mins down the alley. Look for the Riad Adarissa sign above the lane. It's an oasis, away from the bustle of the Medina. Taxis/cars cannot enter past the Blue gate.
The interior is beautifully decorated, peaceful and cool. One is greeted by Haddou, the manager who provides excellent service, attentive and readily available should you need assistance.
Breakfast is generous and they also provide dinner [at a cost]. I highly recommend this Riad. In fact, to look further for accommodation would be a waste of time.

If you like character, this place is for you. Beautiful and unique Riad. Comfortable room and delicious breakfast waiting for us in the morning. They even prepared a to-go breakfast when we had to leave early our last morning. Pretty roof top particularly in the evening when lights come on. Great spot to go wander the Medina and come back for a quick rest or break from the busyness. Jean Claude and Hadou we're really friendly and gave us great tips for our stay not just in Fes but other destinations. On top of this, we arrived in Fes not feeling great and when my husband got worse, Hadou went out of his way to get us some over the counter medication and food. The kindness was immensely appreciated and definitely helped. If I could give bonus stars I would.

We had a great time in the riad. Our room was large and clean, and it was cleaned well every afternoon. The staff was very nice. We interacted most with Haddou, and he was very nice and helpful. He helped answer all our questions about the area and helped foster a welcoming environment. Would definitely recommend this riad!

Exceptional!!! You will not be disappointed. Magically step back in time the moment you walk through the front doors where you are welcomed with warmth, friendliness, sincerity and kindness.Nothing is impossible or too much trouble for our host, from local recommendations for dining, a well prepared map to guide you through the 9000+ streets, or ensuring that every comfort requirement you may have is met. The property exudes the characteristics and charms of yesteryear. A private Oasis amongst the vibrant Medina life. What a memorable stay and experience. Highly recommend! A special thank you to Haddou, Noureddine and Jean Claude. A real pleasure to have met you. Until our next visit, David and Pez

We stayed 2 nights here in Fes. Our family enjoyed this beautifully decorated Riad. The guardians, Haddouk Hallou and wife made a very good host. We felt welcomed and at home. Haddock was very helpful and took the extra steps to assist our stays in Fes. His wife, Hannah cooked us a delicious chicken Tagine. A great place to be 😄😄

This was my favorite stay in all of Morocco.

The Riad is right nearby the Bab and it's the busy bab so all the food and drink you could want is within a few steps.

Staff was by far the most helpful, considerate, and friendly I had in Morocco. Hadou and Fatima went above and beyond most reasonable means to make sure my stay was fantastic.

my suite was on the main floor which gave me concerns about privacy but the suite comes with heavy curtains and plenty of ways of allow me to retreat when I needed time alone.

Fez was my favorite city to visit in Morocco and it was in part to this Riad. Thank you.

We highly recommend Riad Adarissa and really enjoyed our stay there. Really well located just off one of the two main streets in the Medina, but very quiet. The decor is amazing, the wooden doors, among many other renovated touches, are beautiful and we could have spent days just admiring the Riad itself. As other reviews indicate, the staff at the Riad is absolutely standout wonderful and made us feel at home. Nourredine the manager was easy to communicate with prior to arrival and made sure we were comfortable. Haddou was attentive to our every need and really went the extra mile for example walking us to a petit taxi and talking to the driver for us. His wife (sorry to forget her name) cooked a really great dinner for us. Breakfast was very good. They had many recommendations for tours and excursions that we were not able to take advantage of.

You'll love your stay here. Great location... right in the middle of the old Medina and easy to get anywhere (including to the gate if you need to get a taxi).

Our stay at the Riad Adarissa was excellent. The staff were very helpful and friendly, especially Haddou and his wife, who made us a very good dinner. Haddou personally escorted us to our transportation on the day that we left and due to our early departure, the Riad nicely offered to pack us breakfast. The owner, Jean Claude was also very accommodating and brought us to the Riad from where we were dropped off. The Riad itself was beautiful with a lovely rooftop balcony. I would definitely recommend Riad Adarissa to anyone traveling to Fes.

We had a wonderful stay here. We had 3 nights in Fes which we used to explore the medina, hike out and up Mt Zallagh and a day trip to the Roman ruins of Volubilis. We were greeted with mint tea and the breakfasts were wonderful. We would stay here again, short walk to the blue gate or the Ain Azliten hospital parking area.

Great service and traditional touches.

Clean Riad that had beautiful traditional Moroccan details. Beds were more comfortable than other roads and we had the best service. Haddou escorted us to places where our tour groups met and in Fes, the Medina is so large and twisty that Haddou’s help made us feel much more safe and secure. Loved the little touches of mint tea when we arrived or to start our day. It is important to note that this Riad is close to one of the two main roads in the Medina, and near the blue gate, which is great for orienting yourself.

stay elsewhere

emailed with the hotel prior to arrival to arrange transfer from airport to riad. once got to the airport there was no one there after waiting for 30 minutes. we arrived in the early evening, had no understanding of the city or the medina or the location of the riad within the medina as the gps doesn't work well.

once we arrived, it took over 10 minutes for someone to answer the door to the riad to let us in.

the room was big, but kept up poorly - no shower, just a tub area with a bucket, a couple of pails and a shower cord. the bed was super hard. there were ants in the bed and in the bathroom. towels were mismatched colors and very coarse and thin.

breakfast was fine, nothing special. there were dead ants in the honey. most of the staff did not speak english either very well or at all. didn't provide any recommendations on things to do/see/eat. would not stay here again. definitely not worth the price.

charged us 20 euros to do laundry

It is a nice, clean and comfortable riad with excellent services provided by the team, especially Haddou. Location is so convenient for visit Fes Medina, unfortunately the street outside is under construction, so we need porter to help us carry our luggages from parking to riad. Other than this, it is the best choice to stay in.

Best Riad in Fes!!!!!

It's the best Riad in Fes! Really really recommend! The room, the service, the food and everything. You will feel being cared very well here! I went to Fes alone and the staffs in this riad gave me the best service. The own Jean Claude is very very nice, there is once he woke up 4 am in the morning just in order to send me to the right driver, and the other day he woke up really early and drive me to the bus station .Haddou is really nice, he showed me to a restaurant with fair price and helped me buying fruits and snacks with really cheap price. They prepared takeaway breakfast when I need to head out early.

Enjoy a Real Moroccon Experience with this Riad

This riad has been tasfully refurbished to it's original splendor. Beautiful tile, wood and stain glass. The room was a bit tight for three people; my daughter, husband and I. However, I believe the purpose of the courtyard is to congragate since the room was a bit small. The breakfast was included and the first morning, the staff served it in the terrace, which had a wonderful view of the medina. The staff was attentive and cordial. The owner was very welcoming,accessible and helpful. He even loan us his ipad since somehow our computer was not working. This riad is conveniently situated on one of the main streets of the medina and close to a parking lot(where you are dropped off with your luggage since cars are not permitted in the medina). The only thing I can suggest is for the riad to provide bottled water since i had a headache in the middle of the night and did not want to drink the faucet water. Also, since there are so many fruit vendors with an array of fresh fruits, the riad should provide an assortment of fruits rather than just watermelon. Overall, this is a good value and a wonderful riad, a true moroccon experience.

No merece el precio que tiene

Habitación sucia, con polvo y rincones sin limpiar en tiempo. El personal amable, pero constantemente querían vender tanto tours a precios muy elevados como el restaurante de la família. El desayuno estaba muy bien, però hoy que era nuestro último día no nos han puesto pastas ni el crepe que nos han servido el resto de días. El lugar es en la medina, así que muy céntrico. El colchón cómodo pero al tener 3 colchones en 1 (un colchón grande y 2 pequeños cogidos con gomas para el confort) se salía la sábana bajera constantemente. La almohada MUY gorda. No está mal para una noche, pero nos ha parecido muy caro. Estábamos solos en el riad...
Añadir que el primer día, no nos sirvieron té (como en los otros 6 Riads que hemos estado) nos decían que no habíamos pagado, aún diciéndole que si, finalmente lo miró al día siguiente y nos dijo que teníamos razón, pero ya nos fastidió el primer desayuno...
La terraza estaba cerrada sin posibilidad de acceder a ella.
Escaleras muy incómodas para ir al baño y al irnos nadie nos ayudó a bajar las maletas por esas pequeñas y empinadas escaleras.

We, two young women, stayed one week in Riad Adarissa. We had the most wonderful time with Haddoud and his family, which made our stay so very pleasant. They helped us in every way possible, and truly treated us like family. Whenever we had an issue, they gladly helped us and made sure we are safe, and don't get scammed on the streets. The Riad is in the middle of the Medina, with every sightseeing attraction in walking distance. There are multiple food stalls and higher class restaurants within the area, offering traditional food for reasonable pricing. The building itself is charming, and offers clean rooms and a calm environment for reading and enjoying tea outside on the patio or the rooftop.

DE NUEVO EN FEZ, UNA CIUDAD FANTASTICA Y BONITA.

Ha sido una grata experiencia en nuestro cuarto viaje a la encantadora ciudad de Fez.
Hemos coincidido con Jean Claude y Chantal, propietarios del Riad, maravillosa pareja y un trato muy familiar. Chantal siempre te recibe con su sonrisa feliz.
No podemos dejar de agradecer el trato de Haddou y Fátima empleados del Riad, no se puede decir quien es mejor por que los dos son encantadores, amables, simpáticos siempre pendiente de todo lo que puedas necesitar habíamos leído comentarios respecto a ellos y su trato, pero es cierto ha sido un placer poder compartir con ellos ocho dias que hemos estado. No olvidaremos lo bien que Haddou y Fátima se han portado con nosotros, siempre os recordaremos con el cariño y aprecio que os merecéis y como seguro que volveremos, aunque no nos alojemos en el Riad, una visita obligada para poder volver a verlos y saludarlos.
El Riad, esta muy bien situado a escasos metros de la Medina y de la Puerta Azul. Ha sido otra experiencia buena como siempre que hemos viajado a Marruecos. Haddou y Fátima recibir un fuerte abrazo, os recordamos con mucho afecto.
