I would definitely recommend this riad to anyone visiting Fes! The location couldn’t be more convenient, right in the heart of everything. If you are driving be prepared that you will have to park a bit a ways and walk to the location. Omar was extremely welcoming and friendly and made us feel very welcome

Not good service
I didnt stay at this Riad because at our arrival they informed us that they had overbooked it so we were being transferred to another one. However this was done only after they asked us to fill in the relevant form saying we were staying there for 2 nights, a form we had to refill at the new riad. It was not any trouble of course, it was just their tricky behaviour that bother us because they knew we would not be staying there so why ask? I think they might be getting something out of it. The owner or whoever it was who received us was not polite either. He even tried to blame us saying the 'confusion' was made because i initially made a booking, then cancelled it and rebooked. How is this my fault i dont understant, at the end of the day, i had a booking there which they accepted. The riad we were transferred to was cheaper but we didnt get a refund. They insisted it was more expensive but our friends booked the same type of room the same night but for a cheaper price and even if you search the new riad any other day it comes out cheaper than the one we booked. They did say we didnt have to pay the 10€ city tax (apparently we should normally pay that)

Loved it!
I really cannot say anything about Riad Fez Aicha, except that they overbooked, let us know they had, then found us another riad to stay in. The one we stayed in is called Cedre D'Argent, so I can only write my review about it. The riad was a bit hard to find, as it is tucked away in the medina on a significantly less traficked alley. But it would have been easier if we had taxied to another side of the medina, as opposed to Bab Boujloud, which is where we got off. The riad is a traditional set up, with a courtyard in the middle and the rooms around it going up. The ceiling above the courtyard is retractable, so there is always a light, airy feeling. We were served Moroccan mint tea upon arrival, and the check in process was pretty easy. Our room was a bit cramped but it was enough to accommodate the four of us, and we barely spent any time there. It was clean when we arrived and cleaned quite well while we were out. Breakfast was phenomenal, with several choices of bread, a fried egg, lots of butter, honey, marmalade, etc., yogurt, and coffee and tea. There is a terrace on the rooftop which was also nice for viewing the medina from above and just hanging out. The beds were super comfy, Wifi was good in the room, the olive oil soap was fantastic for my skin, and we genuinely enjoyed our stay. Both Majid and Samir were absolutely wonderful, going above and beyond to make everyone feel comfortable and give them what they needed. I would definitely return!!

Pretty hotel, but service problems
We liked the location, and the building itself and breakfast were excellent. However, the staff tried to cheat us on transfer (taxi) costs both going and coming. They claimed we owed more than stated in the hotel's documentation and confirmation messages, which required involving the owner on both occasions to ensure we weren't overcharged. This was unnecessarily stressful and really detracted from the experience! In speaking with other people in Fes, I learned the staff here have a reputation for doing this. My bottom line - I suggest looking somewhere else for lodging.

Little gem in the old city
My brother and I arrived late so the host Ayad actually came to pick us up from the taxi drop off point and walked us to the Riad. The Riad and the room are beautiful, the only reason why I’m giving it a 4 stars is because the bathroom is a bit outdated. Ayad is the nicest host. He showed us the way to the market and what are the must see for our short visit. It is tuck away in old part of the city and only mins walk away from the local market and tanneries. Breakfast is delicious and make sure you check out the view from the roof!

Hot tea & a lovely refuge from the December cold.
My family and I are glad we stayed here. It's a beautiful place. I think there are only half a dozen rooms, and the superb host (in our case, Hishan) took great personal interest in us, offering to carry our bags, providing us with tea in the evenings to warm us up, cracking a few jokes but also giving us the space we needed, giving us wise suggestions on what to do in Fez. We're grateful that his suggestions primarily had our good in mind; he wasn't just sending us to his friends' establishments. He never gave us the impression we were a nuisance. We are happy to recommend this riad! One criticism. It was a bit stressful upon arrival to feel we were in the middle of a battle we didn't understand concerning walking guides through the Fez medina. Via email, the hotel manager was pushing us to hire a hotel-approved guide, giving us terrible warnings about what happens when you hire the wrong kind of guide. The hotel-approved guide, once we hired him, also seemed to feel very threatened by these other sorts of guides, bristling when he suspected we'd been in discussion with some of them. I don't mean to say that all Fez guides are equal. Surely some of them do focus primarily on getting you to buy things from their friends' shops. But in our case the hotel management put so much pressure on us that it was quite obvious the hotel was hoping to make a profit from our guide's fees. I write this just so that other travelers won't overreact to all the tales about bad guides.

Horrible Neighbourhood, lazy staff
Incredibly sketchy neighborhood. Asked to find some food as we arrived late at night to which I was brought to a random strangers house where he wanted to charge me 150DH for a piece of chicken. We had to leave in the morning early, no one awake at the front desk, no breakfast ready for us. We checked ourselves out of our own hotel. Do not stay here if you can.

A beautifully renovated dar (not riad)
I loved the space itself, the staff, the breakfast, and especially the amazing roof terrace at Riad Fes Aicha. It is a dar (house) not a riad because there is no garden, but it is beautiful, spacious, and tastefully decorated. The staff is friendly, helpful, and multilingual. I have two complaints: it's location in Bab ar-Rcif, on the other side of the souks, makes it hard to walk back to from Bab Boujloud after 8pm when the doors of the souks close, and I had to have a faux guide help me back (insisting on a generous tip) every night. It may be better to take a taxi back to Bab ar-Rcif at night. Also, while there are doors and windows and curtains, I still felt I did not have enough privacy (I am American), in part because the toilet was right beside a window. .
