Beautiful riad, set around a lovely courtyard, a lovely rooftop terrace with a great view of Fes from it. The pool looked clean, although we didn't use it.On arrival we were kindly upgraded to a junior suite for the entire 6 night stay. Our room was huge, with a comfortable bed. The shower worked well with good hot water but the water was slow to drain away, even after they tried to fix it. We had a fridge with a minibar in the room. The wifi worked intermittently, so we couldn't stream Netflix, and there was no tv in the room. There was only 1 armchair for sitting the remainder were Moroccan bean bags & stools, which were decorative but impractical for sitting on for any length of time.

We had a stopover at Fes for just one night on our road trip from Casablanca to Marakech via Meknes and Volubilis.Ouady and his staff took excellent care for us. The place and rooms looked mostly like the pictures (I say mostly, because in photographs things sometimes are made to look bigger-- but this house has high ceilings, nicely decorated rooms and the courtyard is well apportioned). The view from the terrace was very good as well. Like in most places inside a medina-- you cannot drive right into the doors of the this hotel-- be prepared to call ahead so that they can send someone to guide and help you with the luggage. I found most travel related businesses and persons we dealt in Morocco with very professional and proactive-- they will contact you ahead of time, asking about your arrival time and location etc, they were (or tried to be-- sometimes traffic and other conditions such as the presence of the king in Marakech blocking off part of the center for hours get in the way) always on time. Ouady was no exception. In fact, the hotel overcharged me for an extra meal by mistake-- Ouady arranged to send me the refund to our hotel in Casablanca within a few hours. I would definitely recommend this place, we wish we had more time in Fes.

I reached there after a long train from Marrakech. The taxi didn't know the address and called the riad for direction but the surprise was that they refused to give directions to the taxi and said they're not expecting any guests. After following Google maps and the help of random people for directions I continued my way to the riad on foot with my luggage. I struggled to find my way on the narrow and dark alleys of Fes at night. I rang the bell and a young man opened the door (he was probably 15-17 years). I explained that I have a reservation he said they don't have any booking. I waited by the door till he called the manager. Then I was welcomed in and spoke to the manager on the phone. He assured me that they didn't receive the booking details but he will be at the riad to fix the situation in the morning. I stayed in the riad all alone (except for the teenage boy and his young brother). The riad was upside down. Dirty, messed up and definitely not set for guests. It is a shame since it is a lovely place but run so poorly. I stayed there for 2 nights even though I really wanted to run away. I didn't feel safe and didn't feel welcomed. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
