This is a very beautiful Riad in a convenient location. It was a two minute walk from the taxi drop off to the Riad. The room was very comfortable, the breakfast was filling and good. Kacem, Omar and Fatima made sure that our stay was exceptional.

Great location, great service and great staff!

The staff went above and beyond in helping us on several occasions, whether it was making phone calls on our behalf, or providing the directions when we need to return our rental car, or serving an early breakfast due to our early check-out for the desert trip. It was such a pleasure to stay at this hotel and get to meet its staff. Highly recommended.

When in Fes, stay here!

Honestly, there are only positives I can say about Riad Ahlam! A beautiful place with the most hospitable staff ever. As a female solo traveler, I really value a place that makes me feel so comfortable and welcomed. I knew I would be arriving late at night so I asked Kacem to arrange an airport pickup. Everything went as planned. Kacem will do anything to make his guests feel happy and very relaxed. Also, the breakfasts were extremely filling with the staff constantly bringing out more plates so keep that in mind! Definitely try everything they bring out. If I visit Fes again (hopefully soon), there's no doubt that I would stay here again. 10/10.

Loved this hotel

Beautiful hotel, best services ever! Best breakfast and Moroccan food have ever tasted in my entire trip. Do not go any other restaurants, order directly from this hotel! The chef in this hotel is superb! Stayed at Marrakech riad as well, nothing can compare with Fes. Had to leave with the first flight in the morning, this Riad prepared me fresh coffee and breakfast at 2:30 in the middle of the night. Driver was there drove me to the airport. the location of this riad is also great, super easy to find. Will recommend this place to any of my friends!

Beautiful Riad - Great Location, Food & Service

Beautiful big room, wonderful service and the best dinners during our entire Morocco trip. This Riad is traditional in style, beautifully decorated and served by very dedicated staff. The chef (Fatiha), in particular, prepared the best food we had in Morocco and the way she presented our breakfasts and dinners was just delightful. This Riad is located about 100M outside the Medina, near Gate 14, which was great because our driver could drop us off within 2 minutes of the Riad, yet it was also easy to disappear into the Medina just a few minutes away.

Excellent service and facilities!

Our stay was the highlight of our trip in Morocco. We visited Marrakech, Casablanca, and Fes and this was hands down our best stay during the trip. The manager was excellent and the staff was wonderful. They made sure that everything was taken cared of and they did their best to make sure our stay was wonderful. The room is clean and the shower always had hot water which helps a lot because it was cold season. Breakfast was delicious. The hotel is 5 minutes walk to the middle of the Medina of Fez where you have all the small stores and restaurants around. The manager was very nice to let us rest in the hotel lobby while waiting for our next train. Highly recommended!

良かったです

チェックインしたのは夜10時頃で、部屋に入ると予め部屋がエアコンで温められていた。部屋にはティッシューが置いていないので持参しないといけないが、シャワーの湯量も多く熱く快適。朝食もボリュームもあり美味しいです。テラスからの眺めも良い。リャドの場所はメディナのメインストリートからすぐなので便利です。 スタッフも皆感じが良く、建物もすごく可愛いです。ハマムに行きたくてマネージャーに紹介してもらった新市街のハマムも良心的な値段でよかった。リャドのマッサージも受けました。気持ちよかったです。 総合的にかなり快適なリャドです。モロッコで日本人が満足できるサービスを提供しているので満足できると思います。

初モロッコ。初リアド体験。方向音痴。低予算。

タイトルのような条件のもと選んだのだけれど、こじんまりとしたかわいらしいリヤドで、特にパティオでいただく朝ごはんは気持ちが良かった。早朝に出発しなければいけない朝は「small breakfast」を用意します、と言ってくれたのだけれど、全然スモールではなく、卵とフルーツカクテルがなかったぐらいで、十分な量だった。 またマネージャーはじめ、ボーイさんも英語がしゃべれるのでカタコト英語でも不自由はなく、ガイド、タクシーの手配から夕食のアレンジなども親身になってくださった。 私が泊まった部屋は窓がないに等しく、昼間でも暗かったので部屋で長く過ごす人には不向きかもしれない。シャワーヘッドのフックも壊れていてちょっと使いにくかったのでちょっとマイナス評価。 立地はタクシーが入れる駐車場がとても近く、また迷路のようなメディナのメインストリートの入口にもすぐ近いので、慣れてからは、グーグルマップを頼りに一人で散策した。 メディナのすべてを歩けたわけれはないけれど(笑)行きたかった観光スポットにはすべて行くことができた。レストランなどにも困らないし、すぐ近くにビールを提供するカフェもあった。 CTMのバスターミナルも徒歩圏内。チケットは自力で買いに行ったが、暗いうちの出発だったため、メディナの中を通り、バスターミナルまでボーイさんが送ってくださった。 もちろんチップは忘れずに。

Great Reviews for a Reason!

Riad Ahlam is an excellent choice for a stay in Fes. It is just within the walls of the medina, making it accessible by taxi, when many others are not. The interior is beautiful, and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The best thing about this place is the service. They treat you very well, the food is fantastic, and they are willing to help you any way possible. I give it my highest recommendation.
