I’m not sure how this property obtained a 4* rating, it’s a basic 3* with no amenities. I’m genuinely surprised by the excellent reviews it has received, maybe customers confused rustic with basic. There was no fridge, no tissues, no bin, no tv in the room. The sink tap would move if you turned it on. The shower area looked damp and the brickwork around it was rough. The property didn’t look like it had been maintained. No staff other than the cleaning staff were available during the day so if you wanted to have a cold drink, you couldn’t. Breakfast was basic with no choice. Bread, jams and processed soft cheese. One day we were given a boiled egg. Breakfast would only start at 8 and if you wanted dinner you had to order in advance, the latest service was at 8.
There was only one man who would stay overnight in the property and we were advised if we needed anything to shout as there were no phones in the rooms.
Suffice to say I wouldn’t recommend this property.

What a charming and eclectic Riad! Staff was amazing, and breakfast was always wonderful. The Riad is in a great location to explore the Medina and there are great places to eat just a short walk away. The dinner we had at the Riad itself was wonderful as well. Would definitely book again if I were to return to Fes!

If you’re looking for easy access to the old city this is a convenient location. We were able to walk every where. There’s so much to do and see at all times. The location was very safe, clean, spacious and comfortable.

Character is endless in the beautifully restored and maintained riad. It felt like visiting a castle. The rooms are not conventional or modern but that’s what give them their charm.

The staff go above and beyond to care for any request. We left very early and were given a box breakfast to take along for our journey. So very thoughtful. We will be back to visit many times!

The riad is in a great location — just a few minutes’ walk from the Blue Gate of the Medina. The area feels safe and quiet.

The room was spacious, and the breakfast was delicious and varied.

Totally recommended!

Things to like - location is close to petite taxi and near the top of the Medina which in Fes is important because it's built on a hill.
The official guide recommended was decent but still took you to the rug shops etc even after saying no thanks.
The manager is pretty good and helpful as is the night manager, but doesn't speak much English which wasn't an issue. The day person is less helpful. Laundry, was more expensive than in Europe, and they separated whites and charged for two loads, and they didn't come back very clean.
They provided breakfast to go on the day we left early.
We would say it's an average stay that's got a good location for easy in and out access.
Didn't get a chance to try the pool, but the AC worked well.
Note that all of the rooms have the bathrooms and the bedrooms on different floors within the same room. Ours had a low clearance door which I hit (6') maybe 5 out of 10 times, mostly at night.
The bathrooms are decent. In Morocco, already remember to open the floor drain in the shower or it will fill up, which no one told us.
The double beds are very firm. If you have the 3rd person bed is soft, because it's actually a couch.

Riad was very quaint, staff were really good and caring and ready to help. Breakfast options were not great but it was ok for us as we are poor eaters. Parking is not available onsite had to do street parking and paid 40dhs for 2 nights. When we went to check out we were told that stay has to be paid by cash and we didn’t plan for that so had to look for local ATMs to get the money to pay. Location of property is great as we could walk everywhere. I would highly recommend this place

We had the pleasure of staying in this Fiad this past weekend. It was advertised as a three bedroom deluxe suite. I was sharing it with friends. Once we arrived, we were told that that room was not available. They don’t have anything that is three bedrooms. We were a little off put because we had done a lot of research and looked at the pictures of the three bedroom suite.

Myriam and staff, however, bent over backwards and was able to accommodate us into a different suite. They did not charge us extra and made sure our stay was comfortable. They also arranged a guide for us to see the Medina as well as a day trip the next day to, see Meknes and Volubilis.

It’s a lovely property with an even more lovely staff.

Family Holiday

We stayed as a family of 4 with a young child for 3 nights. The place is very authentic and clean. It is located very central in the old town and Medina, just a short walk to the Blue gates (Bab Boujloud). The staff are very welcoming, friendly and accommodating. They helped organise a local tour of Fez plus airport transfers. Pool is a little too cold for winter (it is not heated), but one not to miss is the top balcony, as it is very relaxing and provides a nice view of the city. Thoroughly recommended.

A magical place

We had already stayed in two riads-- both (very) good-- in Marrakech and Rabat respectively. But Riad de le cle was truly outstanding, the best one yet. The location is perfect, both extremely quiet and only 100-200 meters from the center of the Medina. The Riad itself is beautiful-- four stories of ornate architecture and wonderfully decorated, comfortable, and spatious rooms. The view from the terrace is incredible. Finally, the food and the staff are top notch. Meriam and Mohammed in particular were always helpful with everything from finding a great place to eat to booking a tour to everyday comfort. A fantastic experience!

In the centre, but not deep into the maze of Fes!

The place itself is great but being a restored house don't expect to get the shiny style of a modern hotel - which I saw as a plus. Even so it has all the amenities needed, only thing that could be there is a TV, but even so, you'd probably only get local TV which I believe most of us would struggle to understand or not be interested at all.

The staff is great and the food of high quality.

Room was very clean and the usual extras like soap, shampoo, etc. were local hand made-style (if not hand made indeed) products instead of known brands - it is a nice touch and a good opportunity to try them as they smell great and most likely have a lot less chemicals than the one we usually use.

Location wise it is in the old town, but not too far from the walls, so you will manage to find it ok during your exploration of Fes.

At arrival, if you (or your taxi driver) ring just before you get there, they're most likely to send a member of staff to pick you up - this is because cars can't that near (just some 100m away or so, but still make sure you memorise the way to get there).

A lovely Riad in the west end of the Medina

Riad Les Cle de Fes is an architectural gem in the west end of the Medina. The Riad is in the Medina proper, with a narrow winding approach lane, but it's not deep in the Medina, but very close to the popular west end and Place Batha, so the location is great for most tourism. The inner court yard is a lovely architectural marvel and a lovely place to relax away from the chaos of the Medina. It's also more sound-proof (room-to-room noise across the courtyard) than many Riads, so that's a bonus. The pool is on the ground floor, deep down, so sunlight is limited, but it's just a soaking pool to wash away the heat of the day. The rooftop terrace is higher than anything else around and provides a lovely view of the medina dropping down the hill to the east. A dinner on top is a recommended. Staff was very friendly. Only negative was a double bed that was just two twins put together, but that was an issue in only 1 room. Two other rooms did not have that issue. A higher-end riad for Fes.

Beautiful,peaceful stay in Fes

Loved this place- lived up to its tripadvisor reviews. Totally peaceful, excellent service, such nice staff, and we got to do our laundry. Made a relaxing atmosphere to return to after crazy days in the medina and surrounding towns. Only wish we were there when it wasn't winter so we could have made use of the rooftop and pool.

Beautiful and relaxing

A lovely experience. The Riad La Cle de Fes was a real Oasis. It had a family feel about it with friendly staff and was very comfortable indeed. The rooms were spacious and stylish. We felt welcomed and well looked after especially at the end of a long day traversing the medina and stimulating the Moroccan economy. It is quiet and very well located, in the Medina but with access by car so no struggling through the Medina fighting off offers to direct you in contradictory directions to secure a good price. Thanks to all the staff and Mohammed in particular for his singing and dancing as he served food. The cold remedy he gave us each night was most appreciated.

Underwhelmed

The Riad is a reasonably well-located restored 14th century riad. It has been carefully renovated by an owner who clearly cares about the Riad. That said, we did not really enjoy our stay. The rooms are big, but cold and dry in the winter (to be fair, its almost impossible to heat a room with more than 20 foot ceilings!). We were also a little disappointed in the recommendations of the staff there. The first night we asked for a nice nearby restaurant and we were taken to perhaps the worst meal of our entire trip in a restaurant filled with egually disgruntled tourists expecting something better. Secondly, we requested a tour guide with knowledge of the city's history for the next day which we were assured was no problem. This guide was apathetic to say the least and only had interest in dragging us for one store to the next - despite our stated lack of interest in buying things. At the end of the tour, he also tried to charge us more than the agreed price. When we shared our complaint with the Riad manager, she seemed less than concerned at our displeasure.

In short, its a beautiful place and reasonably well-located. We were not very comfortable there however, due both to the lack of heat and service.

Fijn klein Riad.
Minizwembadje, maar voldoende om even op te frissen.
Zeer vriendelijk personeel en hartelijke ontvangst.
Behulpzaam.
Lekker ontbijt.
Ook optie om te dineren.
In de buurt vele mogelijkheden om uit eten te gaan.
Na de drukke oude stad fijn om rustig in deze Riad te verblijven.
