They actually have a forced air conditioning/heater, so that was nice. Staff was nice. Breakfast was good, even though I didn't eat much. Area is convenient and quiet.

Beautiful Riad amazing hospitality

This is a very beautiful Riad in a convenient location. It was a two minute walk from the taxi drop off to the Riad. The room was very comfortable, the breakfast was filling and good. Kacem, Omar and Fatima made sure that our stay was exceptional.

Friendly raid made you feel at home

The owner of the raid is friendly. We were welcomed with tea during check-in, and led to our room afterwards. The room was clean and comfortable, the common area was spacious. Would recommend this place to anyone traveling to Fes.

Great location, great service and great staff!

The staff went above and beyond in helping us on several occasions, whether it was making phone calls on our behalf, or providing the directions when we need to return our rental car, or serving an early breakfast due to our early check-out for the desert trip. It was such a pleasure to stay at this hotel and get to meet its staff. Highly recommended.

When in Fes, stay here!

Honestly, there are only positives I can say about Riad Ahlam! A beautiful place with the most hospitable staff ever. As a female solo traveler, I really value a place that makes me feel so comfortable and welcomed. I knew I would be arriving late at night so I asked Kacem to arrange an airport pickup. Everything went as planned. Kacem will do anything to make his guests feel happy and very relaxed. Also, the breakfasts were extremely filling with the staff constantly bringing out more plates so keep that in mind! Definitely try everything they bring out.
If I visit Fes again (hopefully soon), there's no doubt that I would stay here again. 10/10.

Loved this hotel

Beautiful hotel, best services ever! Best breakfast and Moroccan food have ever tasted in my entire trip. Do not go any other restaurants, order directly from this hotel! The chef in this hotel is superb! Stayed at Marrakech riad as well, nothing can compare with Fes. Had to leave with the first flight in the morning, this Riad prepared me fresh coffee and breakfast at 2:30 in the middle of the night. Driver was there drove me to the airport. the location of this riad is also great, super easy to find. Will recommend this place to any of my friends!

Beautiful Riad - Great Location, Food & Service

Beautiful big room, wonderful service and the best dinners during our entire Morocco trip. This Riad is traditional in style, beautifully decorated and served by very dedicated staff. The chef (Fatiha), in particular, prepared the best food we had in Morocco and the way she presented our breakfasts and dinners was just delightful. This Riad is located about 100M outside the Medina, near Gate 14, which was great because our driver could drop us off within 2 minutes of the Riad, yet it was also easy to disappear into the Medina just a few minutes away.

Excellent service and facilities!

Our stay was the highlight of our trip in Morocco. We visited Marrakech, Casablanca, and Fes and this was hands down our best stay during the trip. The manager was excellent and the staff was wonderful. They made sure that everything was taken cared of and they did their best to make sure our stay was wonderful. The room is clean and the shower always had hot water which helps a lot because it was cold season. Breakfast was delicious. The hotel is 5 minutes walk to the middle of the Medina of Fez where you have all the small stores and restaurants around. The manager was very nice to let us rest in the hotel lobby while waiting for our next train. Highly recommended!

Great Reviews for a Reason!

Riad Ahlam is an excellent choice for a stay in Fes. It is just within the walls of the medina, making it accessible by taxi, when many others are not. The interior is beautiful, and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The best thing about this place is the service. They treat you very well, the food is fantastic, and they are willing to help you any way possible. I give it my highest recommendation.

An Oasis

We just loved the place. Not knowing what to expect when booking from so far away and arriving to a very warm welcome and the beauty of its courtyard was awesome. Our room was huge, bed was comfy, great shower and bathroom, all nice and relaxing. The breakfasts were delish and set us up well for our day of exploration. We did eat in one night and savoured their yummy chicken tagine. The proximity to the medina was great, a 5 minute walk, if that. All in all a fantastic experience. The staff were very friendly, lots of laughter 😄

THE REAL DEAL

If you are looking for a real cultural experience, this is the place.
Service was over the top and food was excellent.
This is a small Riad located in the heart of the famous market area.
As you open their inconspicuous door in a door a small alleyway, you walk into a small, beautifully tiled palace.....a bit like Alice in Wonderland.

Beautiful, friendly, well located, great views.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The staff couldn't do enough to welcome us and help us decide what to do in Fes. The room was beautiful and much larger and more comfortable than rooms of the same size in our Marrakesh riads. Go up to the roof to see the views and you will truly have your breath taken away.

Great riad!

We recently stayed at this riad for one night to tour Fes. The riad was beautiful, the staff friendly and helpful and our room very quaint and comfortable. The staff helped set us up with a tour of the area that was very reasonable. Unfortunately time was short or we would have stayed longer. It was difficult to find because it is located inside the medina, but once found it is very convenient to the sites.

Good location, friendly service, but pricey

The staff did a very good job, very friendly and attentive to needs.. Location very convenient, although the surrounding neighborhood of the medina is in need of some improvements, particularly the condition of the streets.. Hotel is not far from the main restaurant area around Bab Baljoud.. Design of the hotel was excellent, very classic with zellij and tadelakt.. Included breakfast was big, and included pancakes, eggs, bread, orange juice, coffee, fresh cut fruit.. Would have been happier if room rate could have been slightly lower, as well as the cost of airport transfer.. Morocco just doesn't provide good value for your money when comparing with places like Southeast Asia, or even East Asia.. However, not considering the cost, a very good experience overall.

WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE !!!

The staff at this hotel, are put simply, the greatest I have ever encountered at any hotel in the world. That is not an exaggeration. They bend over backwards to make your stay (and your life while there) a wonderful thing. The Riad itself is beautiful, the roof is relaxing and wonderful! The hotel is hard to find and the surrounding neighborhood isnt wonderful- but its to be expected as its situated right in the Medina! Parking is also extremely close! The AC in our room wasnt working very well, but that was a VERY minor issue as compared to all the amazing qualities of the Riad. Again, many thanks to the amazing staff for making us feel at home, and making us feel relaxed & comfortable (even while being in the middle of a very hectic place!)

Perfect de-stress

My stay was relaxing and revitalizing. The staff was wonderful, friendly but not overbearing. I enjoyed time at breakfast with other guests but also enjoyed quiet time to myself in my room, the terrace and the comfortable tiled sitting area. I went there after having had a couple stressful days and left feeling ready to take on the world again.

Riad Ahlam - exceptional value

This is an exceptionally fine riad. It is located within a short walking distance of one of the main routes within the Fez medina. The staff is very attentive to all of the needs of the visitors and makes you feel at home. The facility is very attractive and well maintained. The breakfast is simply wonderful as are the meals that they can cook for you. I would recommend this without reservations to any of my friends.

We had a wonderful experience here. The manager and staff were incredible and catered to our every whim. We were there in the low season so were upgraded to a suite for the price of a regular room. The women in the kitchen are amazing! The homemade breads at breakfast were the best we had in Morocco and seemed to be in never-ending supply. Would without a doubt stay here again on a return trip to Fez.

Extraordinary hospitality and friendly service!

Stephano, the owner, was so available and extremely helpful for all his foreign guests. This makes visiting an exotic place like Marrakech so much easier, with lots of good, reliable local advice! Great value for nice rooms with ample lighting, plush towels, and delicious breakfast! Staying in a riad in the middle of the medina is the best way to truly experience the flavor of the mideval town, yet have a very nice, safe place of retreat and the end of a day filled with sensory overload. His staff were wonderfully warm and friendly, too. We had a magical visit and cannot wait to return, most definitely to Riad Alamir! And Stephano's attentive assistance to his guests is the number one reason!

Great Riad, Great Staff

We really liked staying here. The manager, Kasim, was a real help and was a great joker. The breakfasts were very good. The room was spacious and comfortable. The rooftop would have been a nice spot to sit and look over the city, but it was raining mush of our stay. Nice view' though. The suggestions for dinners and sights were spot on and not expensive. Go see the Roman Ruins of Velobilis, a day trip.

Beautiful Riad

Riad Ahlam provides a wonderful Riad experience. The building and room decor is beautiful and the rooftop area provides a wonderful view over Fez. The service is friendly and fantastic. Breakfast is an ever changing combination of local breads and eggs.

If you are coming to Fez by train you should be aware that this riad is in an ideal spot for exploring the main part of the medina but is actually on the opposite side of the medina to the train station and main town (which are 4-5 km's from the closest side of Medina). Because of this it is over half a kilometre walk through the markets to a taxi stand. If a taxi needs to be called it will be a tourist van and cost a great deal more than a regular taxi.

This is a great small hotel that is perfect for hiking in the Atlas Mountains. It has a great cook Hamid who makes very nice Moroccan dinners. I highly recommend eating at the hotel. It has simple but clean rooms and a very nice view of the mountains with a two patios overlooking the mountains. We had dinner out on the patio. Hamid was also very helpful with finding hikes and even getting us on the trail. If I were in Imlil again I would stay there.

Excellent service

A beautiful Riad with extremely friendly staff and great service. Breakfast was fantastic and huge. An amazing rooftop terrace. We arrived at about midnight and were a bit hungry so the staff whipped up a lovely meal for us which was very kind and at no charge!

Manager was very helpful with recommendations and organising trips although these could be a little expensive compared to taking the trips finding your own transport and guides.etc. Organized an official guide for us for one day who was very knowledgable although towards the end it did become a little bit of a tour of craft shops for commission - if you get a tour then do be clear about what you want as prices will be lower without the guide!

Altogether a lovely place with great people, would definitely recommend to others.
