    Wonderful Riad in Perfect Location
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Large Double Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Need to ring the door to enter so if you're coming and going multiple times per day then you feel like a nuisance as someone must let you in. While the Riad is in the quieter area of the Medina, there's still lots of noise from the alley should your window face it (cats fighting, dogs barking, roosters, etc). Occasionally heard other guests. Stairs are narrow and many so could be an issue for those with mobility issues. Need to pay cash.

    Location was perfect - in the Medina but on the quit side of things. Breakfast was good. Loved the interior as it was typical Moroccan. Patio is a great place for breakfast and views. All staff are very friendly.

    No major complaints. Bathroom needed some dusting and was a little cramped but room was comfortable and cool.

    Staff fantastic, family run, very helpful and friendly. Breakfast good. Dinner provided at request and staff bent over backwards for us given prayers and ramadan to make sure we still ate. Good location. Very kind owner who provided us with bottles of water as we left.

    It might be a bit perplexing to get to the hotel.

    The staff members Mahmood and Hadbaa were kind and accommodating. Given me vital local information. It was a superbly maintained accommodation, and the breakfast was typical delicious Moroccan.

    It was in the old town, and at first I arrived at this inn while getting lost, but the inside of the building was clean and wonderful. The owner was kind and lent me a laundry bucket. When I was hanging the laundry on the rooftop, I blew it away by the wind, but the owner was excellent and found it. All the staff were friendly and had a pleasant experience.

    Cozy, authentic Riad. Machmoud and Hadba were the best! They took such good care of us and the cooking class was amazing. The terrace has an nice view and was perfect for watching the sunrise at breakfast or an evening with new friends. Our host were available 24/7 and didn‘t leave any wish unfulfilled.

    Light in the room was kinda dark. The rest are okay!

    This Riad was stunning! Every corner of this place is good for the eye. Location was also near the Tannery, but if you wanna go to the Medina, you have to take taxi that will take around 5mins.

    I loved everything about the property! The riad was very tastefully renovated and included its history. It was central and at the end of a main route through the medina which made it easy to find once you got your bearings. Most of all though, I loved the staff. Aya was quiet and reserved, but very sweet and made sure we had our breakfast in the morning. Mahmoud, (with an h) the jack of all trades, was an absolute gem! He makes this riad very special. He’s a gentle soul who has a calming presence in the middle of all the mayhem that is Fez. If you need anything, Mahmoud will organise it; SIMS, tours, cooking classes, taxis, advice, explanations, or just a quiet chat….. I thought he was awesome, as did everyone else I spoke to. Breakfast was delicious; breads, jams, cheese, yoghurt, fresh orange juice and eggs, however you would like them. I recommend the cooking class which I, unfortunately, did not get time to take. I did share the end result of one, however, and it was a restaurant standard feast! Thanks for making Fes such a great experience everyone!!

    The riad was nice, good location although for the first time it's tricky to find it. However, the manager Mahmoud kindly agreed us to meet and walked us through the tiny streets! He was the best manager that we've faced throughout our two weeks trip! He ordered food for us, organized tour in Fes with a great local guide and did so much more for us! We really appreciated it! We also liked riad for its multiple service options - from various tours to hamam and etc.!

    Mahmoud deserves a raise! he makes this place better than great. he makes it outstanding!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Riad Kassim. it was so beautifully decorated, perfectly located, we felt so welcome & the staff made us feel right at home. Mahmoud was literally the most magical, nicest human being I have ever had the pleasure of coming into contact with. there was no hesitation when helping with directions, he took us to places and came back to pick us up when we went somewhere & always replied so quickly. we even had a chance to cook with him upstairs on the most beautiful terrace. Honestly, if I would have known how wonderful a visit this would have been I would have stayed longer. I will most definately be back. the aesthetic was so pleasant & Aya is such a beautiful soul. thank you for treating us like family Dar Kassim!

    Really nothing. Some water stains on the glass door in the bathroom, if you are really picky. However overall it’s very clean and comfortable.

    The Riad itself is as stunning as it shows on the website. Would rate 12/10 for the hospitality of Mohammed. Aya is so sweet and kind!

    Easily the most amazing space we stayed in in all our travels across Morocco. The riad itself is like a work of art, every corner detailed with artwork, colour, geometry, plants, stained glass. The rooms are so beautiful and spacious and the room service is excellent. We were so grateful to have met Mahmoud, who went above and beyond to show not just hospitality, but generosity and real friendship. Aya and the owner were also lovely souls. We were connected with a tour guide (Najib) through the riad and got an insider's eye into Fes' history, spirituality, and exquisite craftsmanship. Most special I think was Mahmoud's cooking class - we went through the souk to collect our ingredients together and then spent the evening making a sumptuous tajine together. We wish we could have stayed longer and will definitely be back. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 12/10 stars!!

    The property is in a key location of Fes el Bali. It is situated in the medina m, but still very close to the main roads accessible by car, which makes it comfortable when arriving from the airport. The staff was amazing, Mahmod is one of kind. Welcoming, kind and very helpful. He didn’t hesitate in pointing us in the right directions and always provided with great advices
