Reviews of Riad Dar Ziryab

Helpful staff , great facilities, nice rooms , amazing breakfast, good location in the new town , big pool , comfy beds , fancy riad overall was an amazing stay .

Bit pricey for our budget, didn't know it was in the new town , taxi drivers didn't know where it was .

The Riad is fantastic, the architecture, the arts and crafts are amazing. You feel like you're in the old medina of Fez just feet away from one of the nicest boulevards in the city centre. Asmae, Chaimae and Mounia are 3 of the nicest most helpful people I have ever encountered in a hôtel. You can not feel more welcome, they make sure you are comfortable and satisfied. Anyrhing you ask for, they WILL help you with. The breakfast is amazing. Delicious Moroccan food, fresh fruits and salades, hot Moroccan mint tea, etc etc. Access to the (very clean) swimming pool is unlimited, free to take a dive on a hot summer night (most hotels have a time schedule for the swimming pool). The room was ultra clean, smelled fresh, they're were more than enough towels and it was cleaned daily. If you want the medieval Fez vibe in a classy artistic setting, surrounded by Moroccan zelij tiles right in the middle of the city centre, this is THE place to stay in.

Nothing! Everything was just fantastic!

A little Paradise in Fes, from the warm Welcome, the Room, the Pool, the Breakfast, the so so friendly stuff, a special Audience and Information with/from the Principal of the Riad ( in perfect German 👍👍👍) and last Not least a so so cool, funny and friendly employee named Esmee 😍thanks so much and what a pleasure to meet you !!!!

Nothing

The Staff was always friendly and helpful The rooms were beautiful and spacious!

The pool could be cleaned more often. Doves and other animals bath in it as well…

The place is clean and airy. The staff is kind, they give us a “take away” breakfast because we had to go away really early in the morning. The location is good, in the new part of the city. Residential and quiet.

Style of the decoration and good breakfast

Our room is close to the reception and kitchen and we can hear the main door bell ringing and noise from the kitchen until mid-night & in the morning. The washroom is located on the upper level.

Beautiful riad, kind and helpful owner. The place is simply amazing.

It is in ville nouvelle, 30-minute walk from the medina.

Very beautiful Riad..Loved our room. The whole settings. A beautiful garden and even a nice pool. The owner ,a very friendly and knowligable man, gave us not only tips but also interesting informations. The breakfast buffet was very good aswell

Nada

Lovely property in a decent location about 15 minutes taxi from the medina. Great hot shower and comfortable room. Breakfast was also decent buffet of the standard fare. Youssef was fantastic.

Staff/logistics could be much better. Aside from Youssef (who was great), we felt very uncomfortable with how we were made to feel with the check in and payment process where we were chased with payment and had our breakfast interrupted (though in fairness, they did ask if we were finished but what could we say) before a day trip as we were asked to make payment for our rooms despite having one more night before check in. This made us feel very uncomfortable, like the staff were worried we were going to run away without paying. If the team were really desperate for payment ahead of checkout, this situation could have been mitigated if the check in process was more efficient - we were left sitting in reception with no one asking anything further as staff continued talking and welcoming other guests.

Beautiful interior

Too expensive compared to other beautiful places in Marocco, especially the food.

What a beautiful Riad and amazing friendly staff. Our stay was perfect!!!

Nice breakfast - more than enough. Lovely staff - the girls were also extremely helpful. Beautiful grounds and historic building - an oasis in what is actually a modern part of Fez. Room was fairly small but adequate, and very pretty traditional decor.

The area was a long way from the ancient medina. Booking.com site etc talk about the Medina, but you should note that the modern Medina is a fairly long way (2 miles) from the ancient medina that everyone wants to visit. Traffic can be bad. Taxi is best but it's a hassle and there is nothing in the modern medina area of any interest except modern cafe's serving ice-cream and crepes + burgers. All very european / american, which is not what most 'travellers' to Morocco are looking for, in my opinion.

The host was brilliant. Made us so welcome. Felt like we were staying with a friend! We had a lovely apartment so lots of space and lead onto a courtyard. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Having to pay in cash was inconvenient. But if you know you can plan. Also wifi is not good.

The house was wonderful, with a really nice garden and pool. I loved all the constructive details and the house is well-placed. The employees of the guest house were really helpful and friendly specially when it came to a special situation due my ill my partner.

Low intimacy, the room is not isolated from the noise outdoors so it can feel a bit unintimate specially when there are people outside but also when you're at the toilet for example what can be a bit annoying ;-D

The staff, the location, the breakfast, room size and atmosphere were great. The garden is amazing!!

WiFi does not work in the rooms

Mostly clean, polite staff

Cold shower Pool not clean enough to swim even after cleaning lots of bacteria, unsafe to swim No card payments accepted the machine connection didn’t work but this seems to be an issue for a while
