Beautiful Riad amazing hospitality
This is a very beautiful Riad in a convenient location. It was a two minute walk from the taxi drop off to the Riad. The room was very comfortable, the breakfast was filling and good. Kacem, Omar and Fatima made sure that our stay was exceptional.

Friendly raid made you feel at home
The owner of the raid is friendly. We were welcomed with tea during check-in, and led to our room afterwards. The room was clean and comfortable, the common area was spacious. Would recommend this place to anyone traveling to Fes.

Great location, great service and great staff!
The staff went above and beyond in helping us on several occasions, whether it was making phone calls on our behalf, or providing the directions when we need to return our rental car, or serving an early breakfast due to our early check-out for the desert trip. It was such a pleasure to stay at this hotel and get to meet its staff. Highly recommended.

When in Fes, stay here!
Honestly, there are only positives I can say about Riad Ahlam! A beautiful place with the most hospitable staff ever. As a female solo traveler, I really value a place that makes me feel so comfortable and welcomed. I knew I would be arriving late at night so I asked Kacem to arrange an airport pickup. Everything went as planned. Kacem will do anything to make his guests feel happy and very relaxed. Also, the breakfasts were extremely filling with the staff constantly bringing out more plates so keep that in mind! Definitely try everything they bring out. If I visit Fes again (hopefully soon), there's no doubt that I would stay here again. 10/10.

Loved this hotel
Beautiful hotel, best services ever! Best breakfast and Moroccan food have ever tasted in my entire trip. Do not go any other restaurants, order directly from this hotel! The chef in this hotel is superb! Stayed at Marrakech riad as well, nothing can compare with Fes. Had to leave with the first flight in the morning, this Riad prepared me fresh coffee and breakfast at 2:30 in the middle of the night. Driver was there drove me to the airport. the location of this riad is also great, super easy to find. Will recommend this place to any of my friends!

Beautiful Riad - Great Location, Food & Service
Beautiful big room, wonderful service and the best dinners during our entire Morocco trip. This Riad is traditional in style, beautifully decorated and served by very dedicated staff. The chef (Fatiha), in particular, prepared the best food we had in Morocco and the way she presented our breakfasts and dinners was just delightful. This Riad is located about 100M outside the Medina, near Gate 14, which was great because our driver could drop us off within 2 minutes of the Riad, yet it was also easy to disappear into the Medina just a few minutes away.

Excellent service and facilities!
Our stay was the highlight of our trip in Morocco. We visited Marrakech, Casablanca, and Fes and this was hands down our best stay during the trip. The manager was excellent and the staff was wonderful. They made sure that everything was taken cared of and they did their best to make sure our stay was wonderful. The room is clean and the shower always had hot water which helps a lot because it was cold season. Breakfast was delicious. The hotel is 5 minutes walk to the middle of the Medina of Fez where you have all the small stores and restaurants around. The manager was very nice to let us rest in the hotel lobby while waiting for our next train. Highly recommended!

Great Reviews for a Reason!
Riad Ahlam is an excellent choice for a stay in Fes. It is just within the walls of the medina, making it accessible by taxi, when many others are not. The interior is beautiful, and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The best thing about this place is the service. They treat you very well, the food is fantastic, and they are willing to help you any way possible. I give it my highest recommendation.

An Oasis
We just loved the place. Not knowing what to expect when booking from so far away and arriving to a very warm welcome and the beauty of its courtyard was awesome. Our room was huge, bed was comfy, great shower and bathroom, all nice and relaxing. The breakfasts were delish and set us up well for our day of exploration. We did eat in one night and savoured their yummy chicken tagine. The proximity to the medina was great, a 5 minute walk, if that. All in all a fantastic experience. The staff were very friendly, lots of laughter 😄

THE REAL DEAL
If you are looking for a real cultural experience, this is the place. Service was over the top and food was excellent. This is a small Riad located in the heart of the famous market area. As you open their inconspicuous door in a door a small alleyway, you walk into a small, beautifully tiled palace.....a bit like Alice in Wonderland.

Beautiful, friendly, well located, great views.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The staff couldn't do enough to welcome us and help us decide what to do in Fes. The room was beautiful and much larger and more comfortable than rooms of the same size in our Marrakesh riads. Go up to the roof to see the views and you will truly have your breath taken away.
