More than Perfect
Riad Jaouhara is a gem. An old merchants’ home with years of history, it has been lovingly restored in traditional style to what would have been its former glory. The tile work, the caved wooden doors, the beautiful patio complete with plunge pool and resident birds all add to the tranquility one feels on stepping from the hustle and bustle at the edge of the Medina into a bye gone era. The smiling staff are friendly and caring…nothing is too much trouble. Traditional breakfast is served at tables scattered around the patio..delicious. Beds are firm and comfortable and there is a bar fridge in the room. We stayed downstairs in a room opening directly on to the patio with a separate seating area. Wifi is not the best, but neither was the phone signal…probably blocked by very dense walls. However I noted pigeons had boxes on the rooftop so perhaps the merchant who owned the house had a more functional communication system than the present day. The view from the rooftop is spectacular. THANK YOU for making our stay memorable.

Medina stay
A lovely oasis in the medina, easy to find and very well located near the blue gate. Overall the riad was clean and tidy and hosts very accommodating. The room we had was very bijou and the bed not at all comfortable, it was like sleeping on a board. We only stayed for a couple of nights so it wasn't an issue. I would also not recommend this riad for those with limited mobility. There are a lot of stairs and the staircase is very narrow too!! Overall a good stay.

Beautiful riad in a great location. Staff was pleasant but reserved. It seemed that little effort was made to interact with guests. A map of the medina, even a very basic one, would have been greatly appreciated.

Great hotel to enjoy Fes
We couldn’t be happier with our stay. The location was idea to enjoy the Music Festival and the old Medina. Everything was close by: great restaurants/ street food/ hammam ... Ali was very helpful and made our stay even more enjoyable. Would definitely go back. Thank you Ali and the management team!

The hotel is like an old apartment in the old city. Very nice courtyard. Excellent staff attitude. Good access to the old city. WiFi is erratic.

A little oasis in a superb location
We had an amazing time staying in this beautiful riad. The staff are really attentive and helpful. The riad is so beautiful and clean. The courtyard is like a little oasis with beautiful plants and birds. The breakfast is all freshly made and authentic. The riad is located just a minute away from the blue gate in Medina so it was great location for exploring around the medina. It's fully gated so feels very safe and quite inside.

Séjour très agréable ☀️
Séjour très agréable au Riad Jaouhara! Lieu paisible, beau jardin bien fourni, petit bassin rafraîchissant. Simplicité et détente assurée. L’accueil est agréable, discret et simple. Le personnel est à l’écoute et toujours disponible. Le Riad est très propre et extrêmement bien situé dans la Médina Fès-el-Bali: à proximité immédiate des deux principales allées de la médina (le Tala’a Kbira et le Tala’a Sghira) et à 2 min de l’emblématique Porte Bleue de Fès (Bab Boujeloud), ce qui vous permet de prendre un taxi rapidement pour rejoindre la ville nouvelle ou l’extérieur de la ville. Nous avons séjourné 4 nuits au Riad, séjour de couple. Ne servent pas d’alcool (comme quasiment tous les établissements de la Medina), mais vous pouvez ramener vos propres boissons alcoolisées pour les boire dans le jardin. Le petit déjeuner est copieux et tout à fait local. Présence d’un rooftop mais accès limité (il faut demander la clef à l’accueil). Vous pouvez contacter le Riad pour qu’il vous envoie un taxi à l’aéroport (15€, tarif normal).

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness
The Riad was really disappointing. The room was quite smelly and rather small. The furniture seemed quite old. Since we had a room upstairs in the third floor the Wifi did not work. The bathroom was not properly cleaned, which we therefore did after arriving. Visible traces of dirt could be easily removed, but our confidence in the overall cleanliness was shattered. The staff is friendly though and breakfast was okay. In the end the prepaid transfer to the airport booked by the Riad did not show up. The staff than asked another driver on the street picking up tourists, if he were able to take us with him, and thereby fixed the problem. Of course, no refund was offered to us. I am wondering, whether they have to pay the full amount. Money seems to be an issue there, anyways. Interestingly, the local tax had to be paid in Euro (and was therefore more than the actual tax). On my request, payment in MAD was possible, but to their exchange rate. For two nights we paid 132 dh instead of the usual 120. With only 20 people in the Riad in 300 nights a year this constituates an additional payment of 18.000 dh a year, which is only slightly lower than the average income of a moroccan citizen; a practice one might call tax fraud under european jurisdictions. May be the tax authorities in Morocco leave some room for such practices. Nevertheless, in another Riad in the city we paid 30 dh instead. To sum it all up, I would not recommend a stay in Riad Jaouhara.

Un hotel bien ubicado, con restaurantes cerca y fácil de acceder desde la calle donde pasan los autos. El staff amable, nos dieron té de menta cuando llegamos y nos tenían listo el desayuno a la hora que deseábamos y era amplio. Nos dieron las suites, que son suficientemente grandes.
