Excellent riad in the old city. Very friendly multilingual (Arabic, English and French) staff that can help with taxis and tours. Beautiful rooms with luxury touches (we had one on the top level with an open-air terrace and a wonderful view). The restaurant is excellent for breakfast and dinner. Highly recommended for those wanting a very nice place in the old medina.

Excellent Riad in Fes medina

5/5. Would highly recommend this Riad, the building is stunning and the rooms are finished to a very high standard, super comfy beds and our room had a private garden. The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful, even at 1am helping us with airport arrangements. Each morning we were given a brilliant local breakfast and had the choice of eating on the rooftop. The Riad is a short walk to the start of the medina but 15 minutes to the main part of the medina, this can be a little far at night but it was nice to not be in the centre of everything for the entire trip. I would definitely stay again and highly recommend.

We were at Karawan Riad to celebrate a 50th birthday. Got there after a hectic 3 days in Sahara Desert. The Riad was truly our oasis. Our daughters were both exhausted from 3 days of driving. The staff at the Riad gave them unparalleled attention and took incredibly good care of them - even making them a lentil soup and rice. From the morning breakfast to booking us a guide to making reservations for us and accommodating our million requests - they did all with a smile. They even drove my brother to the pharmacy to pick up medicines. We took a cooking class at the Riad as well as the hamam and massages and it all made our trip special They even baked a cake for my sisters 50th birthday and set up a nice dinner for us The grounds are absolutely spectacular and the staff kind, considerate and caring. I have never stayed at a place and felt so royally treated. If we ever have a chance, we would go back to Karawan Riad

This was the most stunning, quaint hotel to stay at in Fes!! We absolutely loved the aesthetics and cleanliness of our room, the incredible sunset view we had of the city during dinner on the rooftop, and the delicious breakfast full of various Moroccan specialties. The staff is so accommodating and warm — they treated us like family the moment we walked in. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing, luxurious retreat that also offers a chance to soak in the best of the city’s food, beauty, and culture!

Wonderful staff

Wonderful staff in a nice hotel. The room was large, clean and the hotel staff couldn’t have been more welcoming. Hotel is in a good location close to everything Fes has to offer. Our only constructive feedback would be that it would be better to have a breakfast menu to avoid food waste as there was far too much for us to eat!

We had the most amazing stay at Karawan! The riad is stunning - with historical aspects intact, yet modern furnishings, and not to mention very clean! The staff was incredibly helpful to our every need, and the hotel is the perfect location - an oasis in the bustling Medina. Also, their restaurant is amazing with great food at every meal! We particularly enjoyed our driver, who transferred us back and forth to Marrakesh.

Great hotel, poor food

Good: The most beautiful building inside with a stunning rooftop. Parking is a short walk up the road - no problem. Bad: The dinner in the hotel was unfortunately very average and expensive. Having eaten tajine all week across Morocco, it was definitely the worst one we have had. All the food was very salty. I mentioned this to the staff but they were not interested. As soon as we checked in, whilst drinking tea, the hotel were pushing us to have dinner. They asked multiple times.

Stunning and stylish RIad

This is a classically beautiful Riad with a modern feel. The level of detail and design that has gone into creating this masterpiece is truly sensational and the owners deserve huge praise for the effort they have clearly put in. The staff are lovely and will go above and beyond to help you - always with a smile - one in particular was fantastic (and I apologise - I think the name sounded like Zebbi?) - his enthusiasm was appreciated and endearing. The room is modern and was just what we needed after a number of days on the road. This Riad is a relief to come back to after a busy day at the markets. Rooftop terrace has a great view and the library has a fabulous collection of books and other items. Would highly recommend staying here to anyone. We ate at the restaurant and also had lunch prepared. The lunch was absolutely sensational - top class cuisine here.
