The 10 best Lodges in Fes, Morocco

May 2, 2023 Vivienne Hutton

The oldest university in the world isn’t Oxford or the Sorbonne—it’s the University of Al-Karaouine, and you’ll find it in Fes el Bali. This walled city, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, will transport you back to medieval times. Visit the ancient maze-like quarters of the Medina to Fes el-Bali and the four imposing Gates of Fes, with their distinctive Moroccan tile work. You can walk, or, if you're brave, take a taxi—the daredevil drivers will have you hanging on for dear life.

Riad Malak

AVOID this place!

Reviewed By 143gabrielaj

The ODOR of the room was disgusting, a mix of humidity and plumbing. The blankets were DIRTY, they were brownish full of dust. I got BUG BITES during my sleeping, then found the insects under the sheets! Then when I the owner he put the blame on me and the others guest who bring bugs from the desert. The only good thing was the morning coffee! I know it’s a cheap place, but i was before in other Riads and they were super clean! Avoid this bad experience please! Morocco is great don’t ruin your trip by booking this place.

Nice clean riad in great location

Reviewed By 290meredithc

This riad is clean, comfortable, and in a great location. It’s decorated in a beautiful Moroccan style with intricately tiled floors and walls. It has a beautiful terrace on the roof from which you can watch the sunrise. Osama has been very helpful, giving good recommendations for places to eat, and general directions on how to get around. One bedroom located downstairs, and 2 are upstairs. Breakfast is served downstairs and had good portions of the usual Moroccan fare: tea and coffee, messemen, Harcha, petite pain, yogurt, boiled eggs and fruit. Would highly recommend this riad for its cleanliness, location, and helpful and friendly owner!

Horrible hotel DO NOT GO HERE!

Reviewed By llgm99

Hotel was reserved and we were asked to pay just entering in the reception. We wanted to see the rooms first. We were brought to another building and finally we were told there were not free rooms. The guy in charge asked us to sleep in a cellar and didn't offer a help for what we reserved for. The guy in charge, was completely agressive and not helping at all. Completely not serious hotel nor service.

TO ME, THAT WAS A MISTAKE

Reviewed By CORDACAN

I had two days extra and wanted to live in a natural environment in ancient city Fes instead of staying in a contemporary hotel. So, I checked reviews with highest rate in Expedia and found this place to stay, everything looked good, a nice Maroc house, perfect local breakfasts, clean and impressive rooms so on... NOT AT ALL. If you are a backpacker and looking for somewhere cheap, go there.... Rooms are really shabby with serious plumbing problems. (Bathrooms - I am not sure those were to be called bathroom but anyway- are simply smelling terrible). Cleanness is just OK but no more. Run by a family, those are nice people, offer a cup of Moroccan tea for guests. Location is good, it's in Medina so you can walk everywhere. No proper Internet (should not be expected honestly) The most surprising issue was breakfast. Regarding reviews I read I was expecting a real Moroccan style breakfast. Come on guys, a fried egg in a very low quality oil, a couple fourth class jams, very stale and cheap a few pastries was the "Delicious & excellent" breakfast... LESSON FOR ME: NEVER GO WITH GUEST RATING IN EXPEDIA..

Worst accommodation in Morocco.

Reviewed By blondyinka

I do not recommend this accommodation at all! We didnt have another option so had to take it for 1 night. It was our worst accommodation in Morocco. Dirty old blankets, dirty non-functional toilet, moldy walls, very cold without heater...

Cheap & Everything that that means

Reviewed By Cory D

So, I have stayed here every time that I have passed through Fes for the past several years. Rooftop rooms are 75Dh and interior rooms are 100Dh. It's a great location. The folks who work here are super friendly. The blankets have been cleaned recently. But the sheets have not. Bed bugs! I feel really sad that the bed bugs ruined the time, because I loved this place in the past.

Don't recommend, really loud at night

Reviewed By ESEF1048

It was really loud at night and the rooms are tiny. We did not enjoy our time there, they got upset we didn't want to hang out there even though we had just arrived from a long travel day, and they even accused us of stealing towels which was just bizarre, since why would anyone do that while traveling. It is also hard to find and when asking locals where to go no one had heard of the place. We wouldn't stay here again.There are tons of riads in Fes to choose from.
