Yousef has been wonderful towards us. He is a great host. Lovely breakfast, good location, clean and kind people. The location is key here, if you get spot too deep you would have to carry your own luggage up and down the streets. Norma has a great location near the gate

The hotel had only three guests when I was there. I was welcomed with hot tea and a chat outside at a table by the pool. He gave me a map and marked eating and shopping locations. The two cats are beautiful :) I was able to have my laundry washed, and got the included breakfast on one morning. Google maps works fine with this hotel's location. My tours were able to pick me up at the medina's gate called \"Bab Ziat\", which is about 1 block walk. There is a bench there so you can wait for your tour vehicle, and a friendly orange cat. The hotel has a locked door you buz in for. My room #3 had working AC and hot water. The bathroom was all the way up come precarious stairs inside my hotel room, but had a full round tub. Everything worked fine, but be careful walking up those stairs in the middle of the night! There are lights and hand rails. The Wifi worked fine. The building is beautiful and the courtyard is a fine place to sit after a long day's tour.

This was the best hotel I recall ever staying. It's a riad, not really a hotel. It's an Arab version of a Spanish villa, with a beautiful courtyard and garden inside the property. There are only 6 rooms, and each of them is flawlessly well maintained. The staff is also small but everybody consistently interacts with you. Monique, the owner, is a welcoming French lady who welcomes you like no other place. The place went through extensive renovation a while ago but maintenance is so good that it still looks new. It has heat pumps and AC, an amazing breakfast, and a fantastic rooftop with a great 360-degree view. Location-wise, it is right in the medina, but literally 150 m from one of the Babs (external gates). This place is highly recommendable.

A Perfect Oasis

Staying at Riad Norma was a wonder experience. Monique the owner was very kind; gave us great local information and made us extremely welcome. The cleanliness and comfort of the room was impeccable. Riad Norma is in a great location and the pool is a great way to cool off after a hot day exploring. Wine and beer is also available and can be hard to find in other locations. I highly recommend staying at this Riad

Wow, wow, wow!

One of the most beautiful, stunning boutique hotels I have ever stayed in. Gorgeous Riad loving restored to its Imperial Palace era by the owner Monique.
Monique is a treasure along with her staff, welcoming guests like long lost family. She parts solo guests for dinners and outings like extended family meeting for the first time.
Breakfast is fabulous, and although she no longer serves dinner, Monique has a full wine cellar of both French and Moroccan wines which you can buy by the glass or bottle.
Close to Bab (gate) Ziat it is easy to come and go by taxi without getting lost in the denser parts of the Medina.
My highest recommendation!

Really loved talking to Monique, who is the owner and manager of the riad.
The room itself was really small, and the beds were a tad bit uncomfortable. I'd recommend not booking the deluxe room - go for something bigger.
The breakfast was decent and the riad was generally well-located (blue gate was around a 15-minute walk)
The riad was completely empty which was nice. Given that all the rooms were empty, it would've been nice if we were offered an upgrade to a larger room.

Palatial Riad in Fez

Riad Norma was every bit as good as the reviews we had read. Monique has restored the building with flair and sensitivity to become a really beautiful and tastefully furnished raid. She is an attentive host. looking after all her guests needs. Her music choices are diverse and really add to the ambiance. The food, in particular the dinner was delicious. Thank you for a brilliant stay.

Exceptional riad. The riad is owned by an elegant French lady, and the owner + the staffs are all super friendly. The riad is 10 mins away from the blue gate by walking, and owner is very helpful for making all kinds of reservations and recommendations for us. We had dinner at the riad for 1 night, and it was super delicious too. Overall a great experience and I would definitely come back to stay in the future when I visit Fes.
