    The Riad was absolutely stunning with such beautiful decor, especially the woodwork/tile work. It was very comfortably organized with such attention to detail. The location was perfect: easy to get to for drop off/pick up of taxi but right in the Medina. The family suite was perfect for a family of 4 and it was gorgeous!! We enjoyed the breakfast every day and we especially loved sitting on the rooftop terrace where we would enjoy the view and some mint tea. The service was excellent; everyone we met was very kind, accommodating and helpful. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend!!

    Fresh fruit with breakfast would have been a nice addition.

    The room was large by comparison to other riads where we stayed. The manager was very helpful in arranging rides and dinner reservations.

    A clean, calm oasis with attentive staff; tasty, reasonably priced food; and a real family feel.

    Everything was totally perfect for us for our four-day stay in Fez. We'd really have liked to have stayed a few days longer, that's all – but unfortunately our busy schedule didn't allow for that. The Riad Fes Madaw is alcohol free but that merely added to its authentic charm, and helped to make our stay more healthy!

    The location was perfect - in walking distance of the heart of the Medina but far enough to be peaceful at night. The traditional Moroccan style decor (Andalusian tiles, carved plasterwork and painted wooden doors and ceilings) was breathtaking. Our lovely balcony suite contained a comfortable four-poster bed and tiled ensuite bathroom and toilet. The room was spotlessly clean and made up regularly, and when we requested towels not to be changed (for environmental reasons) this request was respected. The supplied cakes of rose-perfumed soap and sachets of shampoo were more than enough for our four-day stay. We had a lovely inner courtyard balcony – perfect for sitting on and planning for our next day's outings while listening to life in the Riad gently going on below us. The staff (headed by Ali, with Iman on breakfasts and Ilyas as an extra evening waiter) were all incredibly friendly and helpful. Ali showed me to a barber's when I needed a haircut and beard trim, and arranged for trousers to be express dry cleaned when required. Also, he organised a driver for the next day when we decided last minute on a trip to Volubilis/Moulay Idriss/Meknes. Breakfast was delicious and filling. The real butter, and the Moroccan goat's cheese we requested, were great. The pancakes, savoury fritters, natural honey, home-style strawberry jam, French-style baguette bread, and red, green and black olives were so tasty. We asked for more savouries and fewer sweet pastries, and our request was speedily addressed. The mint tea was delicious (at breakfast and when we asked for it in the afternoon, also.) We requested coffee at breakfast, too, and this was no problem. We ate dinner at the Riad a couple of times and found the food both wholesome and very flavoursome - like high quality home-cooking. Our vegetarian diet was no problem with vegetarian couscous, soup, vegetarian pie and tagine all on offer.

    Margarine (artificial butter) served with breakfast. Wifi signal could be better inside the room. Repeating music. I recommend more calm and classic music such as oud. (Minor issue, you can just ask Ali to stop music) Shower cover is too short, water was splashing all around, but that's minor issue.

    Great location, Ali owner is a very good person! They can serve tea to the terrace (roof top). We also had a lunch inside and it was very good. Breakfasts are good, lots of variety, except for the margarine (artificial butter). I hope they will start serving a good butter. But that's a minor issue. We had a good sleep in the night and during the day.

    Nothing - everything was perfect.

    I had an absolutely wonderful stay! The furnishings were beautiful, the room exceeded my expectations, and the location was perfect. But my biggest compliments are for the staff, who made sure I had everything I needed, arranged for great guides, and treated me like royalty. If I ever return to Morocco, this is where I want to stay.
