This riad was the most beautiful place we've stayed in, ever! Exquisitely decorated riad in an authentic style, clean spacious rooms, friendly attentive staff, delicious breakfast. This riad is a hidden jewel box in the medina.

This place was simply fantastic. The lobby and my room were simply breathtakingly gorgeous. Some other reviews mention having had issues with rude staff but I had no such problems and was very pleased with every employee I encountered. I also took advantage of the hamman and massage and would highly recommend it. Lastly, the rooftop dining area offers a nice view and the breakfast is quite good. I would definitely stay here again.

**Wonderful stay at Riad Rcif in Fes** We are so glad we chose Riad Rcif for our stay in Fes. From the moment we arrived, the service was fantastic. The hotel manager was wonderful—so kind, welcoming and genuinely helpful. They couldn’t do enough for us and always pointed us in the right direction, which made our stay feel very easy and enjoyable. The riad itself is beautiful and steeped in history. You can tell how incredibly proud they are of the property, and it really shows. We were also able to use the pool one afternoon, which was perfect for cooling off after exploring the medina. Breakfast was amazing! Every morning we had a delicious Moroccan breakfast with different breads, pastries, fresh fruit, yoghurt and eggs, with something different each day. On one of our days, we took a trip to Chefchaouen, and the team kindly arranged a “breakfast to go” for us at no extra cost. Such a thoughtful touch. The location, right in the Medina of Fes, was perfect for us. We enjoyed being immersed in the atmosphere and soon became comfortable finding our way around using an offline map. The riad is also well signposted, which makes it much easier to find your way back. We did have one evening where some men tried to direct us away from the riad, but our advice is simply to stay true to the signs and you won’t go wrong. All in all, our trip to Fes was brilliant, and Riad Rcif was a big part of that. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Fes.

This is IT!

A stunningly beautiful and extremely well serviced riad. The food was delicious: both breakfast and dinner. The staff was friendly, attentive to detail and present for whenever needed. It is truly a gem. Could be an art gallery or a museum. Look no more, you don’t want to miss this place.

The room was better than pictured. The lobby was beautiful. The rooftop terrace held a panoramic view of the city. They left a pot of coffee and a thermos in f hot milk at our table- a first in Morocco. Breakfast included a delicious omelet and local breads and spreads. We loved it and wish we had booked a longer stay!

Stay

Hotel was beautiful historic place. Room was very good, food was average and most of the staff were very good. Samir in particular (brother of owner) was very helpful. Had an issue with one younger guy working the evening shift who was rude when I knocked on the door at 8:55 p.m. after dinner and told me to be quiet and also didn't organize a breakfast for my day trip the next morning as promised (too busy sleeping on the sofa).

The Riad is absolutely gorgeous, and would have easily earned 5 stars if not for the rude and scammy hotel manager who ruined the experience. It’s a mystery how that man works in the hospitality industry. We had 2 rooms as there were 3 of us. When 2 of us came up for breakfast, he rudely said that they have cooked food for 3 people so will bring all 3 people’s food together. When we said the third person is asleep, he refused to agree to serve them separately when they came up (within the breakfast window), “because we have cooked 3 people’s food for you”. When the food arrived, the ONLY cooked item was a couple of fried eggs. The rest of it was just fruits, bread etc. that had been hastily thrown together - picture included. Just a ruined breakfast experience for nothing. While leaving, we asked the same guy where we should walk to get a cab. He said that that’s not possible, and the only way to get a cab is to book one through him for MAD 250. He argued multiple times that we should have done that in advance. He then claimed that a taxi we flag down near the medina “is not allowed to go to the airport”. Eventually sick of him, we walked out, and 5 minutes reached the street and instantly flagged a taxi to the airport for 100 MAD. Apart from the rude, scammy, lying manager, the riad is wonderful. Well located, genuinely beautiful inside, helpful staff (apart from the one), comfortable beds and good WiFi.

L hôtel est situé dans un bidonville. Ce n est pas du tout exagéré ! C est sale et ca pu. Le spa annoncé est en fait en cours de réalisation. Pas de bouilloire, pas de chaussons ni de peignoirs. Pas de buffet ni de climatisation au petit déjeuner. Aucune insonorisation et le personnel met de la musique même tard le soir, que l on entend dans les chambres! Hôtel à fuir
