It was home away from home! Kareem was the most gracious host.Fes streets are very confusing,he walked with us the first day.Arranged a guide to go sightseeing and got us a taxi late at night to go to the train station. He made our stay memorable.Fatima was very friendly.She enlightened us on many sites to visit in Morocco. Room amenities were comfortable. Delicious breakfast and mint tea.Would definitely recommend.

Overall a very nice place to stay
This is a lovely riad with big spacious rooms and large comfortable beds. Unfortunately, the shower wasn't as great as I had to stand right at the edge of the bathtub to be able to stand under the shower. The owner's persistent touting of his tour guides was rather annoying but on the other hand, the front desk staff were very helpful and friendly. The riad is located a short walk to the main gate but the streets around the riad are very quiet and can feel a little unsafe to be wandering around in after dark if one is alone.

A very welcoming riad
The folks here could not be more welcoming and are very helpful. Their meals are delicious and the rooms are very comfortable and clean. We were traveling with our two adult children and had 2 suites on the top floor that worked perfectly. Its a very traditional riad in the medina that gives you true Moroccan flavor. They were very helpful arranging for a guide and drivers. Their English is limited but we did fine communicating in French.

Beautiful Riad, Helpful Staff
This Riad is located at the south end of the medina. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. All employees spoke french and 2 spoke some english. The rooms were clean and beautifully appointed. Our room had a separate sitting room and a large bathroom. Breakfast was included and entailed various breads, jams, and coffee. Omelettes could be added for an additional fee. Breakfast could be eaten in the lovely garden or on the rooftop. The hotel has a very nice view of the medina. The staff can prepare a traditional morrocan dinner in the garden courtyard upon request (this was expensive and without alcohol). The location was in the medina (tell cabs Ziat gait) or take a 25 minute brisk walk from new town to get there. A 15 minute walk will get you to Jewish quarter and Blue gate (where most of the sights are). This walk was fine during the day, but uncomfortable at night. There are no sights or restaurants right next to the Riad so expect several long walks or negotiate cabs (should be 15 dirham to/from the train station in new town, but the cabs will quote you 40 and you'll have to negotiate - if you have luggage it's tough to negotiate). We requested a guide for the medina. Our guide was well-informed, reasonably priced, and spoke perfect english. The other nice part about Riad Dar Chrifa is that the price quoted is your actual price. There were no extra fees for phone calls, holding luggage, taxes, etc.

2/10 Poor

I have never been made feel more unwelcome.
We had booked this hotel for 2 nights. Upon arrival at the hotel we were shown to our room. We could smell dampness as soon as we walked in. This was confirmed by the walls of the bathroom. We asked to be moved to a better room. After explaining to us that this was supposedly a 'feature' of the hotel, we were shown to a room which was better, but still nowhere near what we had expected based on the website. The floor tiles and furniture were quite old and worn and the bathroom also had signs of dampness. Worse was yet to come however. The next morning we were told that we had to pay additional taxes for accommodation that was sub-standard to begin with. This was despite the fact that our booking through hotels.com had explicitly stated that all taxes and fees were included. This led to our first meeting with the receptionist. I have to say she was very unpleasant to deal with, asking if either of us had any experience of travelling and petulantly turning the computer screen away from us at one point. She eventually admitted having sent an email to hotels.com to sort this out, but still insisted we pay up. We asked to speak to the owner, who consequently didn't bother to turn up. We had a similar confrontation the following day and in addition we were charged several times the cost price for a bottle of water which we had been told was free. We have travelled many places in the world but we will never forget this hotel or the way we were treated. We feel we have been maltreated and quite deceived. Do not be fooled by the website or the slick photography and please do not make the same mistake we did by booking this unfriendly, overpriced, sub-standard excuse for a hotel.

Riad dar Schrifa - nice place, good price
The owner was very nice and helpful. The room was in good condition. The location was great -- two minutes to Bab Ziat (access to petite taxis) and less than 10 minutes walk to Batha. The wireless internet signal was so weak it did not work. Otherwise this was a great place to stay and excellent value.

Charming hotel
This hotel, like any located in the Medina, was very difficult to find, but once we arrived, we found it charming. The only drawback was that our room was dark; it needed more lamps.

Very good riad
The Dar Chrifa is a very friendly, well-run riad in the Fes medina, about 10 minutes walk from the main souk area. The food is good and the service excellent. The guide they arranged for us was excellent and the owner of the riad seems very hands-on in terms of making sure guests are happy. As for Fes, brilliant! Fascinating and perfectly safe to walk around at night.
