The location is a bit sketchy, but this is something you cannot change and also part of the experiences for travelling in Fes

Rooms are big and clean, and the staffs are kind and helpful! We had a bit of complication for the people who joined with the us, but the Riad didn’t charge us for the extra costs, which is really kind and we appreciated it very much!

Nothing, it was great.

A wonderful place to stay! The room was very comfortable, the breakfast was great, and the view from the rooftop is the best around. Staff really went out of their way to make sure I had a good visit, and gave great recommendations for sites around town. I would absolutely go back and recommend for anyone visiting Fes.

The breakfast was ok, comparing to other morrocan breakfast pretty basic

The room of the dar, exceptional. Bed and linen, gorgeous. Teracce is superb. The fact that they thought to put a heater in the room for the winter, another big plus. Mohammed extremely helpful, cheers. Some of the few 10's imo.

Location it's a bit tricky although the receptionist gave us good indications.

It's a real Riad. Really nice decoration and big rooms. The terrace view is super quiet. The receptionist was super helpful.

Mohammed makes the place! He is super friendly and makes you feel welcome in the Dar and city.

The building is located almost in the heart of Medina, everything was really close! The building itself is very authentic, interior is really nice, so colorful and cozy at the same time! Also there were additional radiator inside the room, which made stay very comfortable, because it is still winter, though it is Morocco. We also had an access to the terrace, really recommend to meet the sunrise there! Muhammed was really hostile and friendly, explained us how to navigate through Medina, and how to get lost properly:) We enjoyed our stay a lot!

We stayed at the room which is on the top floor because we liked to have great view along with the sun waking us up. The terrace was amazing and it’s really worth it to stay at this particular room. Mohamed is an amazing young kid, knows really good English helped us so much with everything and especially with the map and how to move inside the souks.

Just a shower curtain.

As everyone was saying, Mohammed was a great host. He understood my poor English and welcomed me warmly. Everyone will love him. The riad was incredibly beautiful. Breakfast on the rooftop terrace was an unforgettable experience.

Mohamed is a very kind and helpful host. When we arrived late in the evening, he arranged a transfer from the airport en guided us from the entrance of the medina to the Riad. He told us al the good places to visit and even drew us a map so we could always find our way back. Our room next to the rooftop terrace was beautiful and super clean. I would recommend this place to all of my friends.

I had a chance to meet the owner Laurence who is an absolutely wonderful host together with her staff. The house is bright which is unusual for medina houses and with a wonderful terrace and views. Would recommend it without hesitation!

The building is amazing and the position is great. Attention and care for details is fantastic. The guy who lives and works there is very caring and kind, and the view from the terrace over the city is wonderful. Best place to stay if you visit Fes for just one night or two weeks!

Nothing not to like

The hospitality of Mohammad who works here is outstanding. From meeting your taxi and helping you navigate the Medina to ensuring you have everything you need for a comfortable stay he is there to help and makes you feel like family. The Dar itself is gorgeous and has been beautifully restored with elaborate detailing. We stayed in the Royal Suite so had two rooms on the second floor. Perfect for families as our kids were close enough to feel safe but we also had a bit of distance to keep sane. My husband was unfortunately sick for most of our stay.but if u are going to get sick, this is the place to do it. The bed was super comfy, the room had lots of space for spreading out and had gorgeous stained glass windows and a great view. Plus the bathrooms are exceptionally clean. The rooftop breakfast is also a highlight. Can't recommend this place highly enough. Our best accommodation in Morocco.

Personally very steep to the Riad as we are old.

Lovely riad, breakfast was reasonable. The host was brilliant. Would not recommend it for elderly or old people as it is very steep walking up to the Riad. But a lovely location for young and fit people. Brilliant view from the terrace.

Everything was better then we could have imagined.

The view that opened up from the terrace was incredible. Breakfast was delicious and fresh. Staff was flexible with the timing of the breakfast. Mohamed was THE BEST host we ever experienced. Abdul was a friendly as well as flexible driver that this riad provided us with. Even though we didn’t meet the owner of Dar Gnaoua Laurence, she was very strong in communication. Just a text away and always there to help.

The Medina or more the people that try to give you directions can be stressful at times.

Beautiful place to stay right in the Medina. The rooms are furnished very tastefully and Mohammed was very helpful in guiding us through the streets.

No shampoo, not enough towels and the location was not great as it was complicated to arrive to the places from there.

Mohammed from the reception was exceptional. The terrace and the breakfast were great.

Only Fes Medina itself is a bit stressful. The Hotel is a real dream!

Like 1001 night

Stayed in May 2023

You have to walk these narrow and isolated streets in the medina to reach the hotel. Carrying suitcases will not be fun. As a solo traveler, I didn't feel safe walking in these streets alone even in daylights. If you are with someone, then you should be fine. If people tell you that you are walking to the walk direction, ignore them because they are probably scammers trying to bring you somewhere else or charge you a helping fee.

I like the view of the balcony. I can also see the city from my room.

This is a small and very quiet riad in the Medina of Fes. we stayed at the suite and it was absolutely gorgeous! the view from the terrace is the best in all of Fes! Would absolutely recommend to stay there.

This is a whole, marvelous experience. We didn't see the owner, Laurence, but Mohammed, who works and lives in the riad, along with his family, was absolutely amazing. It was such a relief to be able to talk to someone intelligent, perfectly trilingual Arabic/English/French (maybe more?), authentic, but most of all: finally someone who understands that true luxury means discretion. Must be the best rooftop view over Fes available. Their dinner (served on the rooftop of course) was among the best, most refined meals we had during our stay in Morocco. Prepared in their kitchen by Mohammed's family. We came by rental car, and beforehand Laurence had asked us whether we wanted the dinner (say yes!) for a very reasonable price. She also proposed that we meet Mohammed in an easy to reach spot (as always, mind the many speedbumps though!). Mohammed pointed us towards the nearest guarded parking spot and made the arrangements with the parking guy. It cost only 30 dirhams per night. He then helped us carry our bags, while giving us a tour trough his neighbourhood, and answering any questions in perfect English (or French, if you prefer). Once arrived at the riad, we received our own beautiful map of the neighbourhood, which he used to continue to describe the city, and giving some pointers on how to get around. We then got a small tour around the entire riad, and arrived in our very beautiful room (we had the room on the top floor). A bit later our dinner was served. Such a great, and much needed, experience! Additionally, we used their service to do some laundry, for 50 dirham. When we arrived the second evening, after a tiring trip trough the medina, not only our clothes were waiting for us, they had also neatly arranged our room and made the bed! We had the most amazing time here! Don't hesitate, if you can, book your stay in Fes here!
