Pros: We loved the riad! It was like a calm oasis after the chaotic medina. Yasmine and Alex (and Darwin the dog) are unbelievably welcoming, friendly and helpful. They really want to share their love of Fes with you. Our room was lovely- spotless and comfortable. Every detail had been thought about and there were lots of personal touches. They arranged a guide for half a day for us which was great. The riad courtyard is beautiful and we often sat there early evening enjoying complimentary drinks and olives. We ate up on the roof terrace for two nights and the food was delicious - well worth it! Riad Calife was the highlight of our holiday to Morocco. If only we could have stayed longer!

Pros: Nothing than room itself. Room we stayed was fine however there was a weird unpleasant smell inside all the time.
Cons: Our experience with this hotel was horrible. It is said in their description that there is a traditional moroccan hammam and treatments in Riad. When we arrived Riad, receptionist said that hammam is broken and will not be fixed for weeks. When we called booking to complain about, suddenly it appeared that they have “hammam” working. Of course they made it up to avoid refund/cancellation. Later, when we wanted to take a hammam treatment, they took us to the dirty room with housekeeping/cleaning facilities inside and we were informed that the housekeeper of the hotel will do our hammam treatments. Ridiculous, not? In a short, this place is fraud! Even though it is called "riad and spa", they dont have proper facilities for spa and they are not transparent/honest about what facilities they have. Addition to that, the man worked in receptionist was very rude and it seemed he hated his job. He was completely unhelpful during our stay and could not accommodate any simple request we had. Breakfast was not fresh either and if you need to leave riad earlier than 8 am, they expect you not kindly ask but beg for early breakfast. Just note that, in any other riad we stayed in Morocco, we were given an early breakfast when we requested it day before.

Cons: No issue about this wonderful riad. — In the neighborhood, some youths / children idling at the street were sometimes noisy (including late at night) and annoying. This may be a common issue for many different riads located in the same street. (Though, we are foreign visitors and are allowed to stay in local people’s living space, so it is by no means intended to impose tourists’ comfort standards.)

Pros: Main atrium was beautiful and ornate, the suite had a nice private terrace. Staff member Abu was also very friendly and helped us to feel at home
Cons: Bedroom and bathroom were tired, and we would have appreciated a duvet. We were also asked to return the key on leaving the riad for dinner as they only had one! We were also asked to pay the bill in cash which wasnt mentioned on booking through this site, which caused a little inconvenience.

Pros: Everything, location, staff professionalism, cleanliness, food quality and beautiful decoration and architecture based on traditional artistic themes and crafts.
Cons: Confusing layout, leading you through small corridors to get to your room or the top floor restaurants. The beds were not giving the support we expected, we were always rolling to one side.That's all I can think of.

Pros: Everything thing Staff, food, riad decoration Easy access able by car if you travel by car
Cons: Nothing
8,8 Excellent
Pros: Kind personnel, a hotel that looks like a renovated palace, nice pool, location very close to the medina and the royal gardens, free parking, and a room that was clean and spacious. Oh, and an excellent breakfast.
Cons: Very bad pillows, the room’s air condition wasn’t very effective. There were problems with the hot water in our bathroom and I ended up having a cold shower two days in a row. The spa services are way overpriced and not good at all, a 50 min massage costs 60 euros and feels like the girl is bored. The Moroccan food in the hotel restaurant is a disappointment - the tajine was not tasty at all, while the European menu is slightly better.

Pros: the location is good, around 15mins walk to Medina
Cons: the choice of breakfast is limit. One thing we felt not good was we called the reception if there were any scissors that could be lent to us, the reception replied no, but you can go out and buy them by yourself. For us who stayed in Fez for the first night, we didn’t know where to buy and it was 10PM at that time, we also didn’t think it was safe for two girls to out. When I double checked with reception, there was no any other way? We only got “Em….mmmmmm” from he.

Pros: The Hotel is very clean and well looked after. Loads of staff everywhere maintaining the upkeep of the property at all times.

It was a 15 minute walk into the Medina (albiet crossing a main road on the way) so you can jump into the craziness quite quickly but a 15 minute walk back and you're next to the pool on a lounger.

Pros: The position is awesome and the terrace view in amazing.

Pros: Beautiful location, breakfast (expensive) and pool.
Cons: Room wasn't ready until 15h15. Electricity plugs broken in the room. Wet carpet in the bathroom. When turning on the air-conditioning, it smelled really bad. Most of the TV channels weren't working. And most important; we had a reservation for a daughter as well (baby bed was normally included) but we didn't receive the bed as mentioned in the confirmation. As we were travelling and had a long journey behind us we hadn't the energy to complain and ask for another room. We just wanted to rest. We received an invoice without any discount, while they already had received all complaints.

Pros: The views from the hotel rooms were great. All rooms face something interesting- Médina, mountains, ruins. The breakfast was good. The room was quite comfortable and very spacious- it has a desk and chair and a massive bed with enough room to walk around.
Cons: Given that it is supposed to be a 5-star hotel, it fell short being a good 5-star instead it was a great 4-star hotel. Few fruits in our room were rotten, the room would have this damp smell after being shut for a few hours. The food at the restaurant wasn’t good, and instead tasted quite bland.

Cons: The only thing we'd say is that the hotel is very bland. You could be anywhere in the world really. The usual touristy buffet for breakfast (but hey it's included and its not bad), dodgy night time entertainment that boarders on bad Karaoke (I could sing better), young families and older tourists with bum bags and the pricing is high compared to eating/drinking in the Medina. For what we wanted though (a quiet pool holiday with something interesting to do when we got bored) it fulfilled what we were after.

Pros: This hotel is really nice but the staff are awful. This is supposedly a 5 star hotel. The facilities are nice but the staff should also offer a good service to guests which they failed to do. We wanted to add an extra bed to our room as we had an extra member of my family join us (which I was happy to pay for of course). Me and family had been travelling and were all very tired and wanted to sleep. The hotel were quick to take payment for the extra bed but it took them nearly two hours to actually bring the extra bed to the room. I kept trying to follow up on when it would arrive but the staff were all so relaxed. You don't expect this kind of service from any kind of hotel and especially a so called 5 star. After trying to call reception several times from my room to askwhen the bed would arrive so I could sleep they refused to pick up the phone. When I came down to reception there were three staff members all playing on their personal phones. I was so disspointed and angry! At check out, we checked out and made our way to the outdoor swimming pool for a few hours as our flight was not until later on that evening. We were told by the staff member at reception that after check out guests are not allowed to the use the pool or any hotel facilities. Being well travelled and having experienced hundreds of hotels around the world I have never come across this rule and was honestly shocked. The hotel was empty so this made no sense whatsoever. I don't recommend this hotel at all!!!!!!!

You will find here not only a lush garden, rich with the intoxicating perfumes of jasmine and orange flowers, but also a kiosk and a winter restaurant, in the purest Moorish style, alongside a swimming pool bordered by century old palm trees. You will also enjoy the serenity and peace of the panoramic terrace overlooking the historical Medina of Fez. The traditional salons, with their shimmering hand-embroidered fabrics will illustrate the art of Fassi living.
