Nous avons passé un bon séjour. Le personnel est impeccable. Le manager a été très agréable et nous avons discuté longtemps avec lui. Il nous a appris grandement sur les traditions marocaines et la ville de Fès.

L’endroit est magnifique et le déjeuner est typiquement marocain.

Les seuls bémols sont que la télé ne fonctionnait pas (probablement notre erreur), même si nous ne l’avons essayé qu’une fois et le balcon pourrait faire bon usage d’un peu plus d’entretien.

Autrement, c’était super comme endroit. Je le recommande !

PS: il y a des chambres qui nécessite de monter beaucoup d’escalier, simplement le mentionner dans la réservation et ils pourront vous attribuer une chambre au rez de chaussé.

Our room was perpetually damp. The sheets and the pillow were always damp. The AC seemed to not work or help with the problem (although we didn’t ask about fixing it bc it took a while to realize the problem). The fan in the bathroom didn’t help much either. The room was only turned over once on our last day. Towels were worn out and yellow. The owner was kind of awkward and made some weird comments. The man at reception all the time was very nice and accommodating. The terrace also had no lounge chairs or shade, simply just a couple chairs and tables. Only saving grace is the breakfast which was great (apart from a stray hair found in the food on day 1). The courtyard was very beautiful and the location is very central but quiet.

This is by far the nicest riad I have stayed at in Fes! Lovely, comfortable, quiet room; huge bed with perfect pillows; caring and solicitous owner and staff; delicious breakfast. The salon is gorgeously appointed.

Need an extra blanket and coffee in your room for the early morning? Done. The owner responds promptly on WhatsApp and will make sure you have the information you need for an enjoyable stay in Fes.

It’s in a great location, 10 minutes walk from Bab Boujloud.

The building, staircases, and fixtures are in excellent condition, all of which is so important for safety. Many riads aren’t in the best condition, but that is NOT a problem here.

I hope they have a room available on my next visit to Fes, In Sha Allah.

Riad Taryana was an incredible stay! Located right in the heart of the Medina, we really felt like we were part of the local culture. We were so close to everything (shops, restaurants, rooftop views, coffee shops, and all tourist attractions). We could also walk outside to see street performers at night. Our room was impeccably clean, and we had a balcony to enjoy the beautiful panoramic view of the city and mountains. The food was great for breakfast. The staff were so kind and helpful, going out of their way to carry our luggage and personally walk us to different shops for things that we needed. They also told us the city’s history and recommended attractions and tours. I cannot recommend this place enough and we will absolutely stay here again next time we are in Fes.

The ryad is good for the price in general and is close the the entry of the medina. We had a bad experience with one person of the staff since he was very insistent trying to sell us a guide tour (very over priced) by pushing multiple time and by telling us we will get lost in the medina. After 15min we were in our room, a guy from an agency was in the hostel trying to sell us a tour in the desert. The agency guy mostly scamed us since the tour was expensive and very far from what he told us.

I travelled in many countries before and normaly the hostel is your friend but here and elsewere in morroco you have to be carefull! The three other staff members were very kind and are not part of this review.

Large room with private bath, best continental breakfast ever. Clean room and quiet. Great location, close to the blue gate. Mohammed took me to a great leather shop with much better prices than the tannery. He also showed me an awesome restaurant at the end of the alley with great kabobs and couscous.

Cute pretty classic riad in the middle of the medina but off a side street. Very quiet. Great value for the money. Not too hard to find; good signage at the turnoff from the main walkway of the medina! As with most medina riads, you will need to walk in from the wall gate so be able to manage your luggage. Some steep stairs to rooms. Pleasant continental breakfast, which was even provided to us very early when needed. Host very accessible and helpful. However I would not recommend the guide who was provided by hotel - get one off an internet service.
Associated restaurant Mom's Touch was fabulous. Also had a great time with cooking class at Cafe Clock.

A very warm welcome and because there was a free room, they moved us to a bigger room. The AC was a welcome relief and we had a great sleep.
They organized a guide for us from the official tourism agency and it was a very good tour of the Medina. We don’t have a lot of time which was a shame because the common areas would have been wonderful to sit and relax. A beautiful space to stay and very helpful and friendly staff.

The Riad is a beautifully renovated old building inside of the old medina / souq of fes .
It is safe and quiet inside which is a huge contrast to the busy noisy street .But I recommend you stay on the upper floors for the most quiet as the downstairs is where you also eat breakfast.
The room has lovely running hot water , even on the top floor room where we stayed.
The staff are happy to help with anything needed and the breakfast is typical morrocon one , fruit , crepes , coffee etc

I would definatly stay here again as the location can not be beaten. Its a few minutes walk from the blue gate and has parking near the less famous gate next to it , you will have to pay uf your are a tourist ..50dh each night.and it is safe

1800 property no elevator, no phones in rooms , has 8 rooms only , no handicap access, standing stairs, horrible, if yo fell down you end up dead or broken,you have to climb 50 stairs to reach you roof top room , I’m 71 years old I can’t climb 50 stairs neither my wife,
In case of an emergency you can’t reach no one you have to climb again 50 stand up stairs to go down , as an American our phone will not work , parking is not available in the property, it’s far 17 minutes walking from the property, 3 $ per day you have to pay upfront for your stay , the stairs it fit one person only no one can pass you very narrow, and hard to climb, first night they give us rooftop room next to the terrace, they call it a terrace, every body go up (young teen ages), to smoke every 15 minutes, so we can’t sleep. The road to the property is horrible is narrow and you can’t fit your self with your luggage, tv no instructions in English how to work it out. Second day the manager Mr Mohamed kindly enough he moved us to the first floor after knowing that I have a heard operation , rooms has noooo windows at all, like a prison , I really don’t understand how Expedia agrees to add this property to their list ???? The owner of this property misled the customer and Expedia, 178 reviews totally wrong , that’s what attract me to this property, but I have been miss led , this property is for young teen ages place to sleep, smoke, and cheap. I strongly demand Expedia to compensate me for this horrible .

Hotel manager was very helpful. Our room is at the ground floor which is upgraded and it is bigger then expected. Although the place itself has a bit run-down. The air circulation is not good inside the room as there is only a little window facing the hall of the riad. The breakfast was normal considering the price. (A bit disappointed about the orange juice as it is not fresh juice, the lady who served us is very friendly tho)

Beautiful, Traditional Riad with Great Service

Beautiful riad with traditional tiles in the courtyard in a great location in the old Medina, conveniently located not too far from the Blue Gate. A staff member from the Riad met me outside the gate and escorted me to the Riad, which was arranged with a simple phone call from the taxi driver who took me there from the train station. When I left, the Riad owner escorted me back to the same spot outside the Medina walls and put me in a taxi. I appreciated this level of service, especially because navigating the streets of the old Medina is not easy for tourists. I surely would have gotten lost when I arrived.

Excellent stay!

Riad Taryana was an excellent stay! Mohamed and his staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The room was lovely, and the breakfast is hardy enough to keep you going all day.

They also gave me excellent recommendations for tours, dining, and shopping!

I hope to return to Fes and will be staying here again when I do!

It was a great stay and we had a very warm welcome and explanation of the city for us first timers. Situated in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the old city. But a very quiet place in the Riad. Highly recommend

Perfect all round

Everything was perfect from beginning to end! Mohamed, the manager, contacted me with information prior to travelling. He then met us from the taxi and escorted us to the Riad, upon arrival he got us tea and sat us down to give us so much helpful information. He was a brilliant help throughout our stay, as were all of his staff. The riad itself is beautiful, with only seven rooms it feels exclusive and the rooms are spacious and well decorated. Breakfast was included and we had plenty to eat and drink. The Riad is in a great location in the medina, 2 minute walk from the Blue Gate and on both the main streets so its easy to find your way back. This was for my wife's birthday so thoroughly pleased with our choice, highly recommend.

Super helpful but Wifi was a bit spotty

This Riad is beautiful! It's right inside the Medina in Fes and generally easy to find. The manager who ran the front desk was super helpful and really sweet. He showed us a map and physically brought us to an absolutely delicious and authentic place to eat. Whenever we asked for something he knew what to do and wherever we went to buy things, they gave us a discount for coming with him. The rooms was really nice and the breakfast was the typical but still yummy! My only complaint was that there wasn't any natural light in our room, but there is in the main area so that helps, also the Wifi was a bit spotty.

We had such a lovely stay! The property owner reached out and asked us if we needed any help prior to our arrival and was a wealth of knowledge once we arrived. He told us lots of information about Fes and offered to book different tours and show us different restaurants! Our breakfast was tasty and hot each morning and had the famous mint tea and honey each day. Would highly recommend staying here if you want an authentic Fes experience! The Riad itself and the balcony were both beautiful.

Location is very good, only 5 minutes from the historic Blue Gate, money exchange, ATM, lots of local restaurants and shops. The staff were very helpful. I had a rooftop room with great city view. The room and the bathroom were pretty basic. The bath towel was not big enough for a small person like me. The wifi was not strong enough to work or stream youtube. I had to climb 3 floor to my room. Pretty basic breakfast. It appeared that the courtyard was recently renovated but not the guest rooms. The bed of the room was so-so. Overall, except for the location, nothing extra ordinary about this place.

Smelly rooms that need to be updated.Good location

Riad located in the Medina. Stayed here during Ramadan and would sometimes wake up to the prayers from the Mosque at 3AM but would go back to sleep. AC worked great! I had a room up in the roof. Rooms are super outdated and smelled like air has never ventilated. I left the AC on, windows open and bathroom door closed and the smell went away. The bathroom smelled like sewer. The conditions of the room could be updated and windows left open so the rooms won't have that smell. The morning staff was nice but the night staff was not as nice. I felt they kept asking what tours were we taking and what we had plan. Maybe they wanted to give us suggestions, however, I just did not like it. I would not stay here again. Rooms are below motel quality.

TLDR: Americans, Stay Here. You will be comfortable but still get the true feel of Fez. Almost everyone spoke English.

My husband, daughter and I stayed here in February 2019. Mohamed was a wonderful host. He made arrangements for a taxi tour of the city one day and for a walking tour of the Medina another day. If you do the walking tour, which I HIGHLY recommend, ask for Tommy (I'm sure it isn't spelled that way but that was how it sounded).

It is a little difficult to find because you have to walk down some very narrows streets but there are small signs to direct you. Our taxi driver had to let us out a few block away because there are no cars in this part of the city and he got a couple of young girls to take us to the hotel.

Mohamed welcomed us and told us a little history of Fez. He then walked us to a restaurant and came back to get us. He made the offer again until we felt comfortable that we could find our way on our own. The rooms are even more beautiful that the pictures show. The bathrooms are modern and the rooms comfortable. Breakfast was tea and/or coffee,fresh juice, pastries, and hard boiled eggs. We liked it so much we extended our stay an extra day.

Beautiful riad, and great service!!

Fantastic riad and in the safer part of the medina (upper part) of Fes, near to the Blue Gate and walkable to the bus terminal. The owner Mr Mohammad speaks very good English and he and his staff are attentive to all guests, preparing welcome tea upon arrival... a nice touch! Riad Taryana is extremely beautiful and clean, and in a quiet alleyway. Note that not all rooftop terraces can offer great views (depending on the location and height of the building) but the rooftop terrace here in the riad has a superb view! On my early morning departure, I was surprised the night shift staff Mr Halid bought breakfast for me (on his own accord) and quietly passed to me while walking me out. This is unbelievable service!

Traditional interior design which was nice as it’s different from some of the other riads we stayed in. We loved the ornate walls and pillars in the main lounge and the terrace had a decent view of the medina. Our room was comfortable, clean and warm. The riad’s very well signposted and this is important in the medina in Fez.

Quite a few cafes and restaurants nearby and it’s only a 5-minute walk to the Blue Gate and shops. Generally felt safe walking around the neighbourhood and we weren’t harassed by any salesmen to buy stuff either which was a nice change from Marrakech. I’d also recommend going on a walking tour with their tour guide Najib as it’s really reasonably priced for an eye-opening experience. We’d have found it really challenging to navigate the maze-like alleys in the medina to visit the various places that he brought us to.

Little note, the rooms aren’t sound proof but I feel that this is common in most riads, just like the others that we stayed in. Light sleepers please be prepared if you intend to wake up later as you would be able to hear everything from the main lounge in the morning.

Beautiful Riad

Excellent location in the Medina near the Blue Gate! Arranged for the driver to pick us up which is very helpful because the Medina can be overwhelming at first and the hotel is a bit difficult to find initially on your own. Loved all of the staff. Mohamed, Khalid and Driss. Nice breakfast, even a “to go” breakfast our last day. Khalid gave us a choice of rooms and we got an even nicer room with a loft. Decor was beautiful and so was the rooftop view. I loved this gem of a Riad!!!

We loved Riad Taryana! The staff was so incredibly friendly and helpful, from telling us about some tourist tips to even showing us good places to buy souvenirs at a fair price. I can highly recommend Riad Taryana for your stay in Fes if you are looking to stay in the medina. It's just a few minutes walk to the Blue Gate and next to a number of good places to eat including Cafe Clock.

Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. The location was perfect – its near the blue gate and the market, though we had a little trouble finding it on the map for the first few times. The staff was excellent, they were helpful since our arrival, and made sure that we were happy with our accommodation.

Modern amenities with in an ancient surrounding

Mohammed and his crew host an excellent riad. It has good ac, hot water, and water pressure. The electric and in-room tv are more modern than most comparable riads. You can tell they have gone out of their way to provide modern amenities with a traditional feel, which is not easy to achieve in a mideval building. We stayed in several riads in Morocco, and this is the only one that didn't disappoint us.

10 stars service :)

How to start?!?!? Well, before we went to Morocco we contanted the hotel to see if they could arrange airport pick up for us. Few hours after we got an email from Mohamed telling us that airport pic up was set for us. When we arrived at the airport our driver was there waiting for us and took us to the Medina and Mohamed was there waiting for us to excort us to the hotel cuz cars are can’t enter the Medina and he even helped my mother with her heavy backpack. When we got at the hotel they offer us tea while Mohamed explain us the city and gave us a map and also explained the map. (Thanks to him and the map we never got lost) Also Mohamed offer us tours that he was able to arrange for us and he did ... it was awesome cuz he find us a tour guide in Spanish so my mom could understand better.

Also at the hotel the WiFi was good, our room was exactly the same as the picture, the view at the terrace was breathtaking and they also gave us breakfast :)

Because we had a split days reservation they kept safe one of our bags while we where in another city for 2 days till we got back at the hotel at no extra charge. So it was easier for us to travel from one city to another.

Due to our early departure 2 times, they prep a to go bag with breakfast for my mother and i and that make us feel extra special. All 3 guys that work there will do everything that they can to make u feel welcome , safe and most important, you feel at home! They definitely gave us a 10 Stars service!

Excellent shower

We were on the top floor adjacent to roof terrace. Unfortunately it rained for 95% of our time there so could only use roof terrace to take photos in low cloud. If sunny it would be great. Been to Morocco 3 times but this is the best plumbing out of all 3. Hot water anytime, powerful shower, efficient wc. Room quite small and bed was against wall, not the best layout.

Location ideal but need to take note of surroundings as very easy to get lost in medina. 10 minute walk to taxi drop off but all this adds to the experience of staying in such an old city.

Good breakfast, very friendly staff.

I highly recommend the Train station pickup as a driver was waiting there with our name to drive us directly to the medina, where Mohammed met us and walked us to the Riad.
