Riad Fez Hostel

Posizione molto buona , immersi nella medina ma in una via tranquilla e una parte della medina molto accogliente. Sono stata a dormire anche in altri punti della medina ma questo è quello che ho preferito. La camera e accogliente , i bagni in condivisione sempre puliti e con buon odore. La terrazza condivisa è il pezzo forte , oltre alla vista è proprio bella. Buona la colazione , personale sempre presente e disponibile. La WiFi funziona solo al primo piano, in terrazzo poco e nulla (quella del Riad) ma questo è un problema comune della medina

Non ce niente che non mi è piaciuto, però La WiFi in terrazzo sarebbe stata ottima . ........ .... ..... ............

Para lo básico cama y ducha con agua caliente está bien La terraza y la ubicación cerca de la entrada d la medina

Son muy informales, hay un sr durmiendo siempre en el sofá de la recepción. No manejan nada de inglés ni español ( a pesar de q ponen en la descripción que si) Le preguntamos a la sra si el desayuno podría estar un poco más temprano al día siguiente, nos dijo q si, y al otro dia no había nada en el horario acordado, nos tuvimos q ir sin desayunar , hubiera preferido que me diga q no nomas. Pensé que iba a ser un poco mejor porque está bien puntuado

Correct

el sitio muy tranquilo y limpio. el personal amable. siempre dispuestos para ayudarte .10/10

The only problem was in the beginning for the check in. They don’t speak any English at all. After they find me already on there booking system, they asked me for the booking number as confirmation. I showed them my booking number, but they told it’s not the right one. I show them my reservation in the booking app and the confirmation email, but they told again and again it isn’t right. They didn’t want my passport to confirm my identity…

Big breakfast with fresh baguette and some other bread, jam and Amlou, fried egg, mint tea, coffee

El desayuno está muy bien. Y las habitaciones son cómodas

スタッフが、強面だけど良い人。英語はあんまりわかんなそうだけど、翻訳機で頑張ってくれた。 屋上がおしゃれ。 ベッドが全部一段だし、でかいベッドも同じ料金で使える。一部屋一台しかないから早い者勝ちだけど。

タオルとかはない。

My stay at Riad Fez Hostel was absolutely wonderful.. Mustafa and Aziza were incredibly kind and welcoming; they made me feel right at home.. The atmosphere was cozy and authentic, and the location was perfect for exploring the city.. I would definitely come back again! شكرا بزاااف :)

Honestly, there wasn’t much I didn’t like. Everything was well organized, and the staff, especially Mustafa and Aziza, made sure I felt comfortable throughout my stay

Breakfast was plentiful. There was fresh fruit. The staff was very nice, helpful, and attentive.

The setting, the comfort, the proximity

Un hôtel très agréable, propre avec une chambre confortable. Un personnel accueillant et à l'écoute. Et un prix raisonnable. J'ai apprécié mon séjour

Le personnel de l’hôtel est vraiment très accueillant et agréable. Le service est impeccable, l’hôtel est très propre.

Joli décor, très bien situé, tranquille. Bon petit-déjeuner.

It was so cosy

Fantastic stay Thank you aziza and mustapha

Clean riad and good reception. I highly recommend it thank you

Fantastic stay

Great stay at Ariad in Fes! Friendly staff, comfortable rooms, and a great location for exploring the city. Highly recommended!

Location, staff (Mustafa and Haziza are so kind and available), breakfast

amazing experience, i was warmly welcomed by Aziza and Mustafa, they made this one night stay one of the most memorable of my life ! a Hostel to never forget, the facilities weren't the most luxurious but for what i paid it was so much more than what i expected. Thank you so much !

the facilities were to the level of a 3euro hostel, i had everything i needed just not super pretty all spotless, but its part of the experience.

Mustafah and Aziza are very friendly and welcoming hosts. They really want you to be comfortable. We had a leaky toilet that they attended to straight away. The location is in a quieter lane way close to the hustle of the medina. There's a rooftop terrace where guests can chill.

The bathroom really needed a thorough cleaning.

Location.

Cleaning,

The terrace was nice, and also the position of the hostel is very strategic to explore the medina.

Very dirty, I think they didn’t change the sheets since we found hair and stains in the bed. The room smelled like mold and cat urine, the carpets in the bedroom were very disgusting. On the wall, we found a chewed chewing gum, which was definitely not ours 😅 The bathrooms were dirty and very small, and just a very tiny amount of water was coming out of the sink, so we didn’t even try taking a shower. We left the hostel after the first night, it was too uncomfortable for us.

The location was good, the breakfast was delicious, the staff were super nice and helped me with everything I needed, and the room and bed were great

The breakfast could have been bigger. I think we only had one shower for the hostel so I wasn't able to use it

I found this hostel on booking with a high score and good reviews. I booked it, but I couldn't find it on google maps- neither by name nor by address. I contacted the hostel for a precise location on google maps. I got a location which says " fes hostel home". I didn't think too much, from a trust of booking.com I guess. I arrived in Fes medina in the evening. As you could imagine, google maps led me in a wrong way. I asked someone for the correct direction, but a kid/teenager overheard our conversation and started to follow me and offered to lead me to the hostel, I walked my way, not saying yes nor no to him. After 1min walking in dark narrow alley, I was in front of the correct door, the kid/teenager asked me for money. Being quite tired and frankly speaking also a bit of nervous, I gave him 5 MAD and he was quite disappointed and said something I didn't understand. The owner of the hostel opened the door and the kid/teenager left. I was welcomed in the hostel. With the help of translator( since I don't speak French/Arabic, and the hosts don't speak English/Spanish) , I finished the checked-in. To be fair, I got a roll of toilet paper for free, which I never got from other hostels. I witnessed the hosts helped another guest book a taxi for the next early morning. I showed them my appreciation and they said (jokingly) : make yourself at home and give us a 10 points afterwards. I said sure. ( Remember this. ) Feeling so lucky, I went upstairs to my room. Then came the problems. In the common area of the first floor, wifi doesn't work. In the room, even my mobile data stops working ( I had an e-sim, so maybe a local sim would work better, I am not sure). There is a bathroom/toilet on the first floor, full of water on the floor and on the toilet seat, and on the floor there is something like someone spit…The water taps from the shower and the handwash are leaking all the time.

So I went up the second floor to use the bathroom/toilet there, quite small but at least cleaner and drier, although the water is pretty small from the handwash tap. Finally bedtime. Emm, the bedsheet had stains…I felt a bit sick and thought of leaving the next day. With 2 hours’ time difference with CET, I got up super early. I was a bit worried about what to do till the said breakfast time (9:30), so I went to the terrace to get some fresh air. Again wifi was not working and mobile data was running slowly and on-and-off. The hosts (Aziza and Mustafa) saw that I was already up and brought breakfast for me. Thank you very much! And some sweets after breakfast:p They were so lovely and I felt like family. So I gave up the idea of finding another accommodation and decided to stay another night as planned. Long story short, in the morning I left, Aziza took me to a taxi and helped me communicate with the driver, so everything went smoothly. On my way I was struggling what score I should leave in the review, because obviously the basic hygiene and facilities are missing but the hosts were so nice. However this is not the end of the story. I read other reviews for this hostel and the good reviews seem like to talk about something that I totally don’t know. For example, it was another host who managed the place during their stay… I started to doubt what really happened. Then, booking.com sent me a notification: thank you for your review. Wait, I have not written anything yet! THE REVIEW UNDER MY NAME WAS NOT WRITTEN BY ME!!! It was written in very casual Czech and rated THE hostel a score of 10. I guess it’s from some system automatically because my location is “the Czech republic”. Now I am not happy, either my account got hacked, or the hostel is using something illegal, right? I want to edit this fake review so I got a screenshot to show it below. I have made a complaint to booking.com and am now waiting for the reply.

Book four nights, stayed one and booked somewhere else. It was cold, damp and dirty. No stars!!!

Location, nice common areas.

Bathroom is small. There was no socket at my bed, so I had to use the socket at another bed to charge my phone.

I mean it was 7€ for 2 nights so you really can't complain. You get a shower and a bed and it's clean. I had a good night's sleep. There's even a rooftop for people to chill at.

The shower is either a few drops of cold water or a 10bar stream of boiling water with no in between. I don't think it's a Riad, there's no garden.

I LIKE THE VIBES IS THIS HOSTEL GOOD PEOLE WORK THERE

I LIKE VERY THING

Really nice staff flexible and accommodating good breakfast and clean rooms and beds in Old family house

Nothing all good

We booked a private room with private bathroom. Everything was absolutely filthy. The toilet had pubic hair and urine all over it, there was hair in the sink and the shower, mould all over the bathroom. The bathroom door was jammed open. The sheets had not been changed, there were stains all over. The carpet was vomit worthy - there is no way they have vacuumed this room in MONTHS. I am not usually fussy, especially when booking budget accomodation. However there are some extremely basic needs which were not met. We lasted one hour here before making our way to new accommodation. It truely is appalling that they can charge people to stay here. We messaged the host and they said they can put us in another room instead of offering a refund, but why would we want to stay in another room knowing how filthy the current room was. I truely believe all of these 'good' reviews are FAKE. There is no way that this place even deserves a one star booking. Do not be tempted by the cheap price, there is much much much better out there. We ended up staying at Riad Fes Unique which was just a three minute walk away and so much better, much more comfortable.

Dirty abd the Breakfast is bad.

Everything

The receptionist was helpful

The location is super confusing. There is no tissue in the toilet. Internet is very weak

Yassir is that dude. There to make sure you get a long alright. Always smiling. Always helpful. And my boy doesn't sleep! Let my boy , sleep. Also the woman who cleans. God , I should know her name by now. The sweetest woman. She offered me to stay at her house one night when I accidentally didn't book. Yassir said I could sleep in the lobby. They're good people here. And that's all that matters.

No worries , baby.

The staffs were very helpful and friendly.Good location, good price.

The bathroom wasn't useful.

Yassir was the best host I’ve experienced in a long time!

I booked and paid 3 nights but after check in, I moved to another one as the place was not clean and comfortable, did not stay there even one night

For this money, 3 euros per night, I didn't expect much, hot water, hard to find but the guy from the hostel gave us his location and was easily after that. I mean, you definitely can complain a lot but it's extremely cheap so if you look to crush somewhere, extra cheap and you just want a hot shower, that is the place, if you expect a bit more, book some more expensive hostels.

It’s in medina,close to Blue Gates! Good location! The staff was super loyal and friendly! Room was clean, and I had a private toilet!Charged all my devices! And slept well because matras and pillow was surprisly comfortable when in the most expensive hotels 😂

I lost 🤣it’s super hard to find in this labirint, The rest for this price is fair enough, can’t complain

The staff were very helpful. He even came to collect me from another accommodation as I went to the wrong one. It's just off the main shopping street near the blue gate so easy to find once you know where it is No bunk beds in my room a very comfy bed. A good roof terrace and there's a kettle as well which I do need. Decor is lovely too.

The showers were a little strange but it didn't detract from my stay. Hot water, so perfectly usable. And I got a towel which some other places haven't lent me

Near most attractions

Experienced occasional no power in the outlets

in the heart of the medina

Amazing location Just inside medina.Very helpfull receptionist.Also breakfast was tasty.I spend 3 nights there.I recommend all travelers to stay in this amazing hostel in Fes.

Nothing

Welcoming, positive and helpful staff, especially Yasser! Nice location, nice roof terrace.

Property need some investment.

My stay in the hostel was really good. The hostel is located in the heart of Fes el Bali (Madina) and close to all major attractions by walking distance. I had a late check in and the receptionist Yassir helped me with that. Yassir was very friendly and always available and ready to help person. The dormitory room I stayed in was spacious and with a toilet attached to the room. There is also a roof top and common area on the last floor of the building. For the price they offered me, it was a great stay and I will surely recommend it. Note: The hostel is located in Medina with so many narrow roads with shops packed around and like a network. This is the case not only for this hostel but for all accommodations there. The Google map doesn't function well there. You really need to follow the directions from the hostel otherwise, you could get lost roaming around even an hour unless someone from the hostel comes to pick you. That happened to me at midnight 2 am and finally Yassir came to pick me up. If you arrive with Taxi to the blue gate (Bab Bou Jeloud gate), I share you the photos to identify the places where you need to take turns.

The blanket I received was a bit stinky. I notified it to Yassir and I hope he will take care of it for the next guests.

Yassir running the place is the absolute g. The lady cleaning was also super lovely and made us tea sometimes when cleaning in the morning.

I didn't feel safe in the Hostel.

i met beautiful people.

Very nice host family. They take care for their customers

Nothing

Super nice staff, very welcoming and helpful. The hostel is spacious, there is a super nice rooftop terrace and the beds are very comfy (no bunk beds). It is very quiet in the night.

Comfortable beds and met some nice people. It is in the medina making it easy to go around.

Nothing

Great host! Super friendly and knowledge about Fez Was made very welcome!

Everything was perfect. A beautiful and clean hostel in a perfect location. Yasser is very friendly always available for guest. I would recommend this place to everyone!

The cost and the bed which was comfort.

The location , the room and the bathroom.

The staff the place the city

Nothing

the location is quite good, right in the middle of medina, it's also very clean with a good wifi, the staff is super friendly & helpful and talkative

the door to the palce is a bit hard to find with GPS because of the very tight streets in medina, other than this, everything is good

A very very good hotel. The location is very central. This is good. Only 50 meters from the Blue Gate. It's on the market. You can buy anything and food you want downstairs. This is the most central location in the medina. , I stayed here for 20 days. Administrator Yasir is the best administrator. He can give us a lot of help and meet all our normal needs. He is honest and kind. This price is the lowest price for living in such a good location. It's really worth it to meet such a good administrator.
