We were at Karawan Riad to celebrate a 50th birthday. Got there after a hectic 3 days in Sahara Desert. The Riad was truly our oasis. Our daughters were both exhausted from 3 days of driving. The staff at the Riad gave them unparalleled attention and took incredibly good care of them - even making them a lentil soup and rice. From the morning breakfast to booking us a guide to making reservations for us and accommodating our million requests - they did all with a smile. They even drove my brother to the pharmacy to pick up medicines. We took a cooking class at the Riad as well as the hamam and massages and it all made our trip special They even baked a cake for my sisters 50th birthday and set up a nice dinner for us The grounds are absolutely spectacular and the staff kind, considerate and caring. I have never stayed at a place and felt so royally treated. If we ever have a chance, we would go back to Karawan Riad

Excellent Riad in Fes medina
5/5. Would highly recommend this Riad, the building is stunning and the rooms are finished to a very high standard, super comfy beds and our room had a private garden. The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful, even at 1am helping us with airport arrangements. Each morning we were given a brilliant local breakfast and had the choice of eating on the rooftop. The Riad is a short walk to the start of the medina but 15 minutes to the main part of the medina, this can be a little far at night but it was nice to not be in the centre of everything for the entire trip. I would definitely stay again and highly recommend.

Wonderful staff
Wonderful staff in a nice hotel. The room was large, clean and the hotel staff couldn’t have been more welcoming. Hotel is in a good location close to everything Fes has to offer. Our only constructive feedback would be that it would be better to have a breakfast menu to avoid food waste as there was far too much for us to eat!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The place is old and run down. The wifi SUCKS and there's almost no light in the rooms. We had to use our iphone flashlights to make sure we had packed all of our belongings at check-out. The bathroom sink is so shallow we ended up splattering water everywhere every time we used it. Really dumb design. And there is NO SHOWER, only a bath with a tiny wand. And there are little steps all over the place for you to trip on. Most importantly, Karawan Riad was the only place in all of Morocco where we were made to feel unwelcome. There's just no heart in the place and no sense of hospitality or kindness. There are too many other wonderful places to stay. AVOID.

We had the most amazing stay at Karawan! The riad is stunning - with historical aspects intact, yet modern furnishings, and not to mention very clean! The staff was incredibly helpful to our every need, and the hotel is the perfect location - an oasis in the bustling Medina. Also, their restaurant is amazing with great food at every meal! We particularly enjoyed our driver, who transferred us back and forth to Marrakesh.

What a privilege to be a guest at Karawan Riad! A rare gem in the Medina Fes el Bali! Excellent service, dining, spa, design and architecture! The people at the Riad are beyond professional, courteous, kind and accommodating. I felt at home. Karawan Riad is truly a definition of a luxury small hotel and very special to my heart. An exquisite place! I cannot wait to go back! Thank you kindly for such a great hospitality!

This was the most stunning, quaint hotel to stay at in Fes!! We absolutely loved the aesthetics and cleanliness of our room, the incredible sunset view we had of the city during dinner on the rooftop, and the delicious breakfast full of various Moroccan specialties. The staff is so accommodating and warm — they treated us like family the moment we walked in. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing, luxurious retreat that also offers a chance to soak in the best of the city’s food, beauty, and culture!

Honestly, one of the best hotels I've ever been to. They are super understanding and their customer service is like staying at the Four Seasons in Casablanca, superior service. I couldn't make it to my initial booking and they allowed me to change the dates and gave me a complimentary Royal suite when I came back for the day after, which I can say is beyond gorgeous. Two full bathrooms that are completely modern with RAIN SHOWERS (which I love) and many balconies overlooking the Riad and city. No words to describe. Even the upstairs master bath has a view to the whole duplex suite since it has glass walls on the second floor. Coming here was truly amazing, no other place like it.
