Una estancia maravillosa en Riad Gzira Tuvimos una estancia muy agradable en Riad Gzira. Es un riad precioso, con mucho encanto marroquí y una terraza muy bonita, perfecta para relajarse y disfrutar del ambiente de Fez. Queremos agradecer especialmente a Abdul, que fue increíblemente amable, acogedor y siempre dispuesto a ayudarnos. Su hospitalidad hizo que nos sintiéramos como en casa. Un lugar auténtico y acogedor que recordaremos con mucho cariño.
I called and no one answered. I sent many messages, no one answered.
The site is indescribably bad and everyone is trying to take money from you. People are trying to mislead a way to get lost and pay them.
オーナーさんがとても良い方でいろいろ助けてもらいました! 施設も立地もとても良いです また来ます

Todo espectacular. El personal super amable y dedicado.
Classic Moroccan small riad in the medina. Very quiet, attentive staff - the man spoke good English
the extra bed was very narrow
Very nice and helpful host and beautiful riad
The host is good and easy to communicate
The location is very bad , no parking as they mentioned parking is available.
Abdou et khadija ont tout fait pour que mon séjour soit agréable.très disponibles. Le petit déjeuner super! Oeufs, café+thé, tsemen, Jus d orange, fromage...
La chambre sans lumière...un peu cave...mais bon lit. Le riad un peu à l abandon.

Beautiful riad in proximity to the main sights but facilities a bit dated and a little tricky to find (as are most things in Fes). Beautiful rooftop and warm staff, I enjoyed my stay in Fes.
A beautiful, authentic riad full of character, with an amazing view over the medina from the rooftop terrace. Traditionally decorated, spacious (for a riad) and comfortable room. The location is excellent – right in the heart of the medina, yet close to the edge of a larger square, which makes finding your way back very easy. The riad is run by Abdul and his wife, whose kindness and hospitality were unparalleled. Nothing was ever too much trouble for them – from greeting me in the main square on arrival and doing an unprompted ‘test run’ with me to make sure I could follow the route back to the riad on my own, through sharing helpful advice on navigating social and 'business' interactions in the city, to preparing a delicious homemade meal on my last evening. I'd highly recommend this riad to anyone who values authenticity and character over modern luxury, and wants to experience a traditional riad as it is meant to be.
This riad is really good value for money, slightly dated, but some fantastic original features inside the property, well placed to enjoy the medina!
Muy cómoda la habitación Personal amable
The staff is very welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and like that the Riad was walking distance to many restaurants and the market.
We had a difficult time finding the Riad using GPS, but the manager was kind and generous enough to guide us to the riad from the main road.
Un Riad maravilloso muy bonito. Personal muy agradable
Falta un poco de mantenimiento y las escaleras pueden estar algo difíciles para gente con poca movilidad
أعجبني الديكور القديم والزخرفه ولكن لم يعجبنى الأرضيات ولا الحمام ولا أغطيه السرير وريحه وتراب قديم في المكان صاحب المكان رجل طيب ولكن المكان يحتاج إلى ترميم ونظافه
La amabilidad de Abdul y su mujer. Son encantadores y te ayudan con todo
Las camas supletorias son muy duras y pequeñas, fue incómodo dormir ahí
La habitación es grande y cómoda, tenía un baño grande. Todo muy limpio. El personal muy amable. Se sirve un muy buen desayuno.
Me parece que las imágenes en Booking.com no coinciden en su totalidad ya que el lugar no está renovado (el Riad tiene mucho potencial pero necesita actualizarse) además necesita más ventilación.
Location superb and the hotel has wonderful interior
Nothing
Amazing staff and exceptionally clean rooms. The breakfast was excellent, and the team was incredibly helpful with recommendations and local information. They even arranged our dinner in Fes by speaking directly with a restaurant, which made us feel very well taken care of. The riad has a truly beautiful atmosphere—highly recommended.
Location, kindness of the host, breakfast and ambiance.
Bed a bit too hard and uncomfortable pillows
The owner was very helpful. Only accepts cash which i didn't have on hand. He was generous enough to entrust me to wire him the money once I was back at home letting me stay for free initially.
The evenings were very loud and it only died down after midnight. The mattresses were very hard and my room didn't have a proper window.
The riad is stunning and has great Moroccan architecture. The owners were very helpful and friendly, even when we wanted to leave at 4:30 in the morning he walked us to our taxi! Also a delicious breakfast and great location to explore amazing Fes. Thank you 🇲🇦❤️
Very beautifully decorated, spacious and comfortable place. Peaceful and charming atmosphere. The owner is very polite, respectful and helpful. Was easy to communicate with him in English and he guided me through video call to the location of the Riad since Google maps was not working well. He offered to help arrange transport to airport, accommodated early check in and even made a lovely omelette for breakfast on request. The lady who takes care of the house and breakfast was also very kind and hospitable.
A very nice riad in the Medina, but 5 min from the taxi station and 10 min from the parking, in case you come with your car. Abdul, the manager of the riad is very nice, he prepared the breakfast for us, early in the morning because we were participating in the Marathon... I definitely recommend 👌
The riad is really cool looking, the decoration is incredible and it feels really old. The owners are nice and welcoming. The decor in the rooms is pretty good, there are places to hang some clothes and belongings. The bed is huge and comfortable, plug sockets next to the bed. Good wifi in the rooms. Breakfast was simple and as expected.
The room was pretty musty and smelled quite bad, there was an acrid smell that stuck to everything and all our clothes and belongings reeked of it after we left. The smell of the bathroom was quite bad as well. The location feels quite sketchy, we were hassled on a few occasions literally as we were trying to enter the riad. You can only pay in cash, either euros and dirhams.
Toll Lage mitten in der Medina, Riad an sich schön
Feuchte Luft und in unserem Badezimmer war die Leitung undicht, sodass der Boden ständig nass war; vielleicht ist das mit der schlechten Luft in den oberen Räumen besser
Good , Abdul was very nice and helpful . When I got lost in Medina went there to bring Me back
Can be more light in the room
Персонал ( мужчина распорядитель и женщина по хозяйству)проявляли просто чудеса предусмотрительности, доброжелательности и услужливости. Даже приготовят вам что-то купленное самостоятельно. Местоположение, прямо в Медине, но как бы в конце, в уединенном таком закоулочке,поэтому было относительно тихо. Аутентично весьма внутри.
Комната малюсенькая, на первом этаже, дверь в общий хол Выходишь утром, а там уже люди сидят, вечером тоже самое)))) Постоянно какое-то движение в этом холле, ощущение абсолютной открытости, Стоит дверь приоткрыть (муж, например, перед сном, выходил покурить) и всё что у тебя происходит, становится достоянием общественности. Тоже самое с разговорами, слышно тебя, слышишь всех ты. Приватности 0 Отдохнуть в тишине не возможно. Есть кондей, но он не работает. Есть фен, но не работает розетка в ванной. Нет окон, зато вода в душе не уходит в слив, поэтому жуткая сырость и как следствие запах. Не критично, если одну ночь, если три, как мы, вся одежда влажная. Номер, по сути загочик какой-то, маленький Даже нет полок, не говоря о шкафе Опять же, если одну ночь, ладно, а так всё валялось на полу. В общем, как опыт, что-то необычное, рекомендую. Если именно жить - комфорт, нет. Однозначно
The architecture, the decor and the breakfast. Overall a fantastic experience. Manager was an amazing person. He took us from the main road so we had no issues finding the place. Very welcoming and homely.
Everything was excellent
Location, staff
It’s like staying with a family. Absolutely lovely experience. The staff are really kind and helpful, especially if you get lost in the labyrinth of the medina! Delicious homemade breakfast. Comfy bed and clean room! Would definitely return and I highly recommend it.
You can hear the neighbouring riad or cafe at night, they played music till late. But I think you can only hear it depending where your room is.
Our host Abdu was very welcoming and helpful.
Nothing! It was great!
Goede riad beleving. Grote kamer en grote bed.
Er was geen gebedskleed in de kamer. Ontbijt was erg laat.
Все понравилось! Хозяин очень добродушный и отзывчивый:) 2 раза я заказывала ужин, если будете здесь обязательно попробуйте ( входит много блюд и очень вкусно) Чисто, риад очень аутентичный. Искать его нужно со стороны входа в Bab Rsif, тк карта может повести вас через Медину и запутать:)
Emplacement idéal, très propre, personnel attentionné et nourriture excellente.
O quarto é muito espaçoso, cama grande com boa roupa de cama (dormi muito bem pq o quarto é bem escurinho) e bom café da manhã. O Riad é muito bonito apesar de não estar tão bem conservado. Dentro da Medina, que pros meus planos de visitação foi ótimo.
O chuveiro não é bom e a água não desce bem pelo ralo, o que deixa um banho desconfortável.
I wanted to stay in an old riad, and the building itself was beautiful, very clean, and centrally located! The property manager was very helpful and nice when he was available. Please see the explanation below.
The issue was there isn't a full time dedicated manager of the property. On arrival, I had to call the person, who did answer, but sent someone who didn't speak French or English. This person did this because the person has other work commitments. The property manager was kind enough to later go and get me a local SIM card. In all honesty, part of the drama was that my international phone plan from the US wasn't working properly in Morocco...lol! The local SIM card didn't really kick in until a few hours later...by which time I got lost in the labyrinth area around the property located in the old medina. The property manager didn't take my calls at this time, and I was left at the mercy of predatory teenagers who wait for lost tourists to try and scam exorbitant guide fees out of them.
Historical building, very nice staff, very good breakfast!
I recommend booking the taxi with the hotel, because the host will come pick you up, it is not easy to arrive by yourself and the area can be shady later in the night
Ambientación, decoración, espacios en gral, habitación amplia.
.
it was very spacious and the staff were so lovely
nothing we had a great stay
Kamer!
Doolhof in de steegjes... Gps werkt gelukkig.
The Riad was beautiful, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and generous. The Riad is located close to the heart of the medina, but it is very easy to get lost in the labyrinthine narrow streets.
The bed was a little too hard for my preference, which made it difficult to sleep.
The experience is like staying in a museum! It's a really unique building! Comfortable rooms and beds and great AC, which is very important when it's 50°C outside. :) Nice host, always willing to help, great breakfast and access to the wonderful rooftop, from which you have a beautiful view of the whole Medina.
Since the building is very old, there is a specific smell in the room. Not so intense, but still present. Also the bathroom could be a bit cleaner.
Pure Moroccan architecture
Nothing
I would like to thank Mr abdfatah and his stuff ,they were super helpful and I felt like I'm in home even for one night and I think I will come back whenever I'm going to Fes .
Nothing
The rooms are very clean and neat. Very big rooms more than enough for us. The host was very friendly, helpful and professional. Mr. Abdul gave us a clear tour of the property and also made us aware of the charges to be paid for taxi to train station and local attractions and also guided us to a nice restaurant for dinner. The breakfast service was also fantastic and we had a wonderful time staying in the property. It's a perfect destination for couples looking for stay around Fes.
Its calm and clean and they really have good hospitality
Its calm and clean and they really have good hospitality
It was a traditional Riad. Close proximity to main square Place Rcif. Breakfast was good. Quick communication on whatsapp.
Bathroom was not at all ventilated. It was wet, drainage was not good. So, it smelled. When asked for soap, the manager said to get our own. Towels were overused.
The place is beautiful with a great location inside the Medina of Fez. Abdul is the kindest and we got delicious home made food for dinner. Definitely recommended! :)
Super
Abdul was amazing, always helping me out when I got lost...which was a lot lol. The calm atmosphere was great.
Maybe to be closer to the Blue Gate where we usually wanted to be.
We loved your stay in Riad Gzira Fez, the person in charge was so kind and attentive every time, he allowed us to check in earlier, and woke up earlier next day to provide us with the breakfast us we went to a tour, we really appreciate it that, the facilities in the hostel are really good and we loved our room, was totally worth it, the terrace is lovely too :)
It was beautiful, very near to some great streets, friendly stuff and delicious Breakfast!
Nice house, cute terrace, kind host, big room
It is very cold, there is almost no natural light in the room. The breakfast is a big poor compared with others we had in Morocco
Everything, the warm welcoming and the gorgeous architecture, massive bed and authentic feel. Very peaceful atmosphere.
The riad is beautiful. Good location and fairly easy to find after walking in and outside the Medina. The family, is very helpful and friendly. We were only there for 1 one, but would certainly come back again. They also fixed dinner for us which was the best traditional Moroccan meal we had.
Really there was nothing we didn’t like. Beds are firm but being a back sleeper it wasn’t a big deal.
The staff was super friendly!!

The best thing about this place is the staff, if it weren't for them, especially Abdul Fattah, I would stay somewhere else. Clean and Spacious rooms. You can order breakfast of your choice.
The toilet sink has 2 taps, 1 for hot water and 1 for cold, you have to juggle between the two in order to get the desired temperature. Its not fun, as you burn one hand while the other one freezes. The drains in the shower stink and the odour fills up the room. I had to cover the drain with a wet towel to stope the smell. No Breakfast menu provided. Do not accept credit card. Cash only.
Impressive interior with historical building. Possible to have meals. The host was quite friendly. The location is central walk distance to everywhere essential in Medina.
Since all the rooms are opening to the main patio you can hear everything happening in the patio and the vice versa. The bathroom infra could be upgraded.
Friendly staff,they do them best to help you, Interesting riad with very nice design, like historical one.
Breakfast needs to add some protein like eggs, As many riad ,I don’t like using bed covers full of color , i prefer white color. To show the cleaning level
Staff friendly and helpful. Wifi reliable. Breakfast was good. Very nice looking place.
It could be difficult to get the room warm. Almost impossible to locate without help. Location not so good. Bathroom so and so. If you prefer soft bed it will be a problem.
The Riad was beautiful and eventhough most of the time we were out, we loved breakfast time as we get to engage with Khadijah who serves us our breakfast daily during our stay! She made it feel like we're home and made sure that we were fed before we go along with our day! The riad has a terrace where you can see an overview of Fez and the medina, where you can also chill after a long day out and star gaze or bird watch in the morning. Abdul was also soo very accomodating and understanding! And when he's busy he will let us know that if anything he's within reach! We felt taken care of and would definitely recommend out friends and family who's keen to stay in Fez while they're in Morocco! Alhamdulillah, thank you!
Nada.
The property is inside Medina, so it is very authentic. The staff is great, super helpful and gave us lots of advises. They organized a trip to Chefchaouen, which was great, but we definately overpaid for it
It was super cold in the room (even though it was not cold inside the Riad), the bed was hard and there were a lot of noise. Also, there was a smell in the bathroom, but you can expect it in such old building. It is hard to find a Riad, and it is not pleasant to walk back at the evening
The family operating the Riad is extremely friendly and helpful! Terrace has a great view in the direction of sunset. Recommended!
Beautiful riad, really nice terrace on top. The staff is really friendly and helpful. he gave us really good tips about the Medina (we would have been much more scammed or lost without them). on our day out we had to leave really early and he was so kind to pack breakfast for us. They also allowed us for an early check in
the rooms have little natural light (as is the case with most riads). the shower clogged a bit and there is a bit of noise from the street.
