Please stay away from this property. Horrible staff. He refused to pick us from taxi stand. Whole property was empty. At night the care taker left the property and AC staff working. We called the main number and no body picked up the phone. Tried to find someone and there was no one else. Front door was locked and we could not go out also. Bathroom was smelling and fixture were all loose. We left the property first thing in the morning and booked another hotel. Lost the money but we have to run for safety.

Expedia should not offer this property.

Lovely Riad! Incredibly helpful and friendly staff. You are offered a tray of mint tea and little snacks when you first arrive and when you come back after a long day in the Medina.
Staff also helps you with suitcases to and from the nearest parking area. Great breakfast and they also have a bar.

Property is beautiful. The pool area, even though we didn’t get to use it because of the weather, is pristine. The stairwells and the balconies, everything is clean and decorated beautifully. The service is OFF THE CHARTS! The guys that work there are exceptional and go above and beyond to help with bags, directions, anything. Breakfast is AMAZING!!!!

My only complaint would be the handheld shower situation. It has one of those half glass shower doors, so basically the entire bathroom can get flooded with water every time you shower. And there is pretty much a limit of only getting one towel per person. We were ready to go to one of the souks two actually buy towels so we could keep the floor dry.

Great service and location.

From our arrival to departure, the staff at Riad Braya provided outstanding service. We were able to check in early and welcomed with rose scented hand towels, mint tea and an assortment of delicious biscuits. Our room was large and very comfortable with lots of drawers and hanging space. Breakfast was filling with a range of options and good coffee. The rooftop terrace provided a panoramic view of Fes as well as comfortable loungers.
Some reviews have complained about the smell from the bathroom- yes there are smells but the modern doors between the bedroom and bathroom prevent it spreading plus it is not strong or constant and as the manager has commented, is to be expected in an ancient building.
We particularly appreciated having one staff member help with our luggage and taxi when we were leaving.
A huge thank you to Tariq who helped us with a tour operator, Ayoub and Mohammed for your outstanding hospitality.

Riad Braya was set in the Medina, so be prepared to walk to the property as cars are not allowed.

The staff are very friendly and helpful.

The property itself was nice enough, but there was one area where I thought there was room for improvement. As is common with riads, there were not windows to bring in outside light. It would have been nice if the room had softer lights as opposed to the somewhat florescent feeling bulbs. Also, the nightstand lights were very dim, making it impossible to lie in bed and read. Fortunately our room had it's own private big stretch of balcony, so we could sit there, which was lovely.

Enjoyable

We enjoyed our 3-night stay at Riad Braya. The riad was not very crowded while we were there, so the service was good and the staff was always available.
The main downside is that room cleaning was random from one day to another, e.g. some days we had body lotion, but the other we did not.
It was a nice oasis from the craziness of the Medina and all the scammers who try to tell you that \"the roads are closed\".

The staff were fantastic. Anwar, Ali and the rest really went out of their way for us. The breakfast is great (you can have it on the terrace). One of the staircases is a bit steep, but take the other staircase and you'll be fine. The view from the terrace is breathtaking. Riad Braya is very accessible too - just tell your taxi to go to the Dar Batha Museum roundabout (that has Fes Heritage Boutique on it, as is fontaine batha) and follow the alleyway in which Cinema Cafe is in. Keep going straight for about 5-6 minutes and Riad Braya will be on your right (it's name plaque has a blue light). The Riad itself is stunning inside, with great facilities. I would definitely stay here again if I return to Fes.

The only negative I can think is one that is probably applicable to every Riad in the medina (I didn't explore the Merinid tombs side of the medina) which is the steep incline of the roads to and from souks, and historical sites such as the Qarawiyyin mosque. It's fine when you're on the way to said site, but the way back is a challenging incline to say the least. That said, the alley ways are clean and the floor is paved, so walking (and even a pushchair) shouldn't be an issue.

That said, I think Riad Braya is in a great location as there is easy access to a taxi road it's very close to Bab Bou Jeloud. There are good places to eat nearby too (such as Barbecue Alarbi Fes).

Mohammad and his team understand hospitality! They are so welcoming, understanding, and extremely humble. Omar even went out of his way to serve us a delicious breakfast earlier than they usually do. We expected something small, but they were still able to provide a full (and delicious) meal. With a lot of our plans having us leaving early and coming back late, we were always treated with respect. They were accommodating beyond our expectation. The Riad itself is clean and well taken care of. There were a few cosmetic things we noticed in our specific room, but nothing that took away from our experience.

Hannah recommended a delicious Moroccan restaurant with beautiful views of old Medina and the blue gate. I felt safe walking around solo and Omar even offered to walk me to my next excursion pick up. I’m sad I’m only staying one night, it’s so beautiful! I’ll be back, thank you Riad Braya for an amazing first Moroccan experience!

Friendly service in a great location

This lovely riad is in a great location in the Medina. It's close to the blue gate and so many restaurants. There was a mix up in our reservation but they gave us a lovely larger room at no additional charge. Breakfast was hearty and plentiful. What really made our stay memorable were the attendants, Simon and Mohammed, who really worked hard to help us. They made us feel so comfortable in a new environment. If you plan on taking a Medina walking tour, beware it is comprised of a little history and a lot of shopping, with lunch in a beautiful but pricey tourist restaurant ($44 dollars for 2). We should have asked for more info prior to arranging. The riad did arrange transport to Volumbilis and Chefchaouen, which felt quite safe and friendly. Would love to stay here again.

2 star amenities & service. False 5 star rating.

This place/property is rated 5-star on Hotels.com and is far from it. The property is comparable to a 2 star motel with it's amenities, cleanliness and service. The one great thing about the property is the property manager / host, Mohammed, who's helpful, friendly and always smiling. Supposedly we got upgraded to Room #1. Which was spacious to EU standards, but lacked proper amenities and cleanliness. Shower stall is small, shower-heads not clean. One of the bathroom windows could not be closed.
Booked a fully refundable rate, but 3 days before arrival the property converted our booking to non-refundable. Hotels.com customer service when called confirmed that we had until midnight to change or cancel but when they contacted the property, the property would not allow cancellation. Property indicated that this was a Hotels.com issue and Hotels.com stated they cannot cancel the booking as the property would not allow. In summary, based on the property manager, Hotels.com collects 20% fee. They did not want to give up this fee, and therefore the property will not allow cancellation. Serving the customer and honoring the cancellation policy was not important to either the property or Hotels.com. We visited a Riad close-by where one of our other friends was staying, which is rated 3star, and realized that this other property had much better amenities, was clean and had great service including restaurant, hammam. Won't recommend. Let's be honest on ratings, please!

The Riad Braya was like an oasis. We had a long drive from Chefchaouen and the riad's manager, Mohamed, met us at the parking lot to assist us with the luggage. Once we got into the riad, we were struck with its beauty and coolness. Mohamed offered us mint tea and biscuits and we were then shown our room. The room was comfortable, clean and fresh. After unpacking, we starting exploring the Medina which is a 5 minute walk. Mohamed was a great host and we enjoyed a fantastic breakfast every morning with coffee, orange juice, eggs, bread and pastries (see pic). Mohamed was an encyclopedia of local information and restaurant recommendations. He also made arrangements for the taxi ride to the airport.

dramatic experience

Overall, I have to say that it is a nice hotel. Well renovated,nice location in Medina, clean, comfortable and great service from staff Simon. My experience was outstanding till the last night. I arranged a private tour with hotel. On my way back to the hotel from parking lot around 9pm, there is a guy who followed up from the parking lot all the way to the hotel. I didn't say anything as the tour guide and him talked normally in Arabic(I don't understand Arabic). I though they were friends. Up till we arrived my Riad, staff Mohammed opened the door, the guy started to ask me for money. I was so confused. This guy said he is the parking lot security, because he protected me from the parking lot to my Riad, I need to pay his \"protecting service\". I didn't ask for his service and I was not notified about it. I refused to pay. Through the entire time, I asked multiple times for help from Mohammed and the tour guide. I was hoping that they can help me to let go the guy or call police. However, both of them kept quiet and both of them look scared to deal with the parking lot security guy. I don't know if the parking lot security is local gang or something. In the end, after my multiple requests, Mohamed spoke with the parking lot guy with Arabic and I paid him some tips to let him go. I understand that it might be the security issue of Fes, not the hotel itself. However, I was wishing that hotel staff could have done a better job to protect us since it is a very security issue.

Outstanding Service, Cool Riad

Excellent one night stay while passing through Fes. As is typical, you pass through a non-descript door on a walking street into a bright (enclosed) courtyard. The place is everything one would expect and more: beautiful, clean, and close to the Media and good, local restaurants. However, what truly sets it apart is the service. The do-everything manager, Simon, was absolutely incredible. We'd really like to thank him for doing everything possible to make our stay special, as well as his advice on the best areas in the medina to get various goods. Definitely recommend.

This place is beautiful and the managers Simon and Mohamed are very kind. We enjoyed our private walking tour with Elhadidi very much. The only complaints we have are that the bathroom had a strong sewage odor and our laundry bill ended up being much more than was initially quoted.

Great stay

Family trip to Fes - the staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating. They will help you with any day trips you need. The Riad is very clean and well kept and in a good part of the Medina (only a few hundred feet from the nearest parking spot). That is very useful especially for your first time so you don't have to navigate the maze of the medina right away. Highly recommend this Riad!

Beautiful guest house and good location

We enjoyed our stay at this riad. It is right in the Medina not far from Batha. The staff was very helpful and welcoming. They very kindly arranged for a pickup from the train station and a porter to take our bags from where the car left us off to the riad itself. When we got to the riad they welcomed us with mint tea and pastries. We had a 2nd floor room that was very nice, though the ceiling was a little short in spots for someone that is 6'1\". The breakfast they had for us every morning was delicious. I would certainly recommend this riad to other travelers.

Lovely hotel. Nice room but strong odour from sewer which was off putting on our first night and slightly masked on the second. Otherwise the staff were extremely accommodating.

Beautiful Riad, but the bathrooms are awkward since they are not fully private and partially see-through

Beautiful Riad in prime location

Riad Braya is an absolutely gorgeous property - we particularly liked the lobby area and the decor of our bathroom. The staff are friendly and very helpful, even organising a taxi to collect us from Fes airport. The location of the Riad is ideal as it is very close to the markets and souks in Fes, but far away enough to avoid the late night noise.

Fantastic Riad and Riad Braya Made our Time!!

The Riad itself is very clean and pretty but my wife and myself were very pleased to their staff and their hospitality.
They helped us a lot organizing a tour to Chouen as well as our first night dinner, and logistics from Airport to Fes, Fes to Casablanca.
Without their service, we would have had a difficult time arranging everything by ourselves.
Oh by the way, the scenery of Old City Fes from its roof top is simply amazing.

The Riad was beautiful and well equipped, though no doubt short staffed due to the Eid al-Adha.
The right sink only ran hot (very!) hot water, no cold, and one bathroom light flickered. The A/C was extraordinary. Breakfast was hearty each morning, and the staff were very accommodating.. I'd stay here again without question.

Would stay again

If you’re planning to eat dinner, order early! Food was delicious but everything is made fresh. Without notice, one night dinner took 2 hours after ordering to arrive. The next night, we ordered dinner after breakfast and it was ready when we asked it to be. Staff was super friendly, rooms were clean. Bathrooms in the room are not very private. If you’re traveling with someone you’re not very comfortable with, you will learn a lot about each other!

A little too much cooperation between the operator

Not enough staff to run the establishment
Service good despite lack of staff but their manner says otherwise
