Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The riad is very nice, nicely renovated. It is quiet at night and the location is great for during the day, you can reach old town within minutes by foot. The room was comfy and so was the bed, pillows etc. The person who checked us in and helped us with most things, his name is Driss, was super nice, very helpful and makes all the difference in this little hotel. The only thing you have to be careful with is parking. We didn't manage to find the upper parking lot (it's one way and incorrect on Google Maps) but parked on the street. The guys there are quiet pushy and can get uncomfortable. They asked for double price but thanks to Driss we payed the correct amount, 20MAD. There are different guys in the morning and evening so they might want the money twice, be careful. Also if you leave, you will need to pay again. So the best is to pay per day. Also it would have been helpful if the riad sent us the parking instructions in advance as some other roads do.

很寧靜，讓人慢下來享受的RIAD

結束了沙漠團後，車子直接送我們到RIAD ANATA，雖然RIAD在細巷裡面，車不能進，但只要到達之前致電RIAD的電話，工作人員會熱情的在路口接待你。我們在這裡待了兩晚，很幸運地兩晚都只有我們一組客人，整個RIAD都很寧靜，讓我們能夠好好享受。房間雖然面積比較細，但房間設計都很精美，也很乾淨，燈光設施做得特別有情調。如果你想拍照那種坐出房間窗外望向大堂的相片，你可以選擇橙色的房間。RIAD每晚都有工作人員留守，如果有問題可以隨時找他們，不用擔心保安問題。

Riad Anata 에 방두개 2박을 3개월전에 예약하였고 익스피디아에서 컨펌하고 재확인이 필요없다고 하였으나 체크인 이틀전 모로코에 도착한 후 더블부킹으로 다른 Riad에서 대신 숙박할것을 요구받아 다른호텔을 찾으려 했으나 시간이 촉박하여 불가피하게 riad anata가 소개한 대체Riad 에서 숙박하였습니다. 대체숙박한 곳은 시끄럽고 프라이버시가 부족한 1층이고 하수구 냄새가나는 곳이었으며 다른방은 3층의 아주작은 방으로 주었습니다.더군다나 Riad Anata 는 5성급인데 대체 숙박한곳은 4성으로 물값도 별도로 받았고 고객review도 몇개 않되는 곳이었습니다. 익스피디아의 대응은 이런불편에 대해 아무런 조치도없어 실망스러웠습니다.

New Furnished Riad Located in the Medina

Convenient location, 5-10min walk distance from where taxi could drop us off. Luggage was already in our room upon arrival (we moved from another riad to this one), but no mint tea provided for welcome (like all the other riads we stayed). Staffs are helpful. The room looks like recently furnished with modern style. HOWEVER, the washroom is not well-designed for use (you need to be very careful with the sink and the shower to prevent water from running to the floor). They charged for 40 dirham taxes each person at check-out, which was somehow 15 dirham more expensive to our previous riad in the Medina.

Lovely cozy stylish riad wth nice terrace

We enjoyed our stay in Riad Anata. It is in a typical family house style of Fez, with rooms surrounding a courtyard at the center. Our room is the orange room on the first floor, very cosy and nice and have all amenities we need. Staff was very nice, gave us an introduction of the Medina and the city which meant so much as you can easily get lost in the Medina. Terrace is lovely with nice view of the neighborhood. It is very enjoyable to have breakfast and dinner on the terrace with delicious food available from the riad’s own kitchen. When we went the neighbor of the riad is having some renovation so there was some noise. It didn’t impact our stay much but can be a point to note for those who wish to spend a lot of time in the riad during the day. Overall I still highly recommend any travelers to stay at this riad.

The Staff....

This Riad pays close attention to their guests. Sara at the front desk was very attentive to our needs and assisted us greatly. She walked us to a restaurant to confirm we would not get lost, she went to the train station to buy our tickets for the next day, thank you very much Sara. Said, what can I say, super attentive, great bartender, great cook, great everything. He helped us with everything and know how to make an excellent tea, mint water and yummy breakfast. One afternoon he made the best kiwi mojitos, unbelievable. We will miss your greatly and wanted to thank everyone for all their attention and hospitality. The Riad was very beautiful, small and quaint. Our room was very nice and met all of our needs... Thanks everyone at Riad Anata!
