    We have enjoyed our stay at Dar Chrif Idrissi. Its located in the heart of Medina. The rooms are small but clean. Terrace has wonderful view. Breakfast is amazing! We want to thank our host again, for his wonderful help and guidance. Upon arrival, he met us, helped with luggage and guided us through Medinas labirynths. Without his help we would have been lost. He was also very kind to provide all information about the city and restaurants. We had to leave to the airport at 3AM, he organized the travel, helped us with the luggage again and took us to the driver. It was very much appreciated and again, without him we would have totally been lost. (Medina is not safe during the day, imagine at night hours!!!) thank you very much and we would absolutely return again!

    I was leaving at 6 am on Friday, it was rainy… and staff just opened the main door for me but didn’t even help/offer to help to get to the taxi… as he did when I arrived and met me near Medina, to escort to the place.

    Location is great, very nice design and vibe! In the middle of Medina with lots of shops and small local cafes. Overall, just for experience is nice to stay in riad for 1 night, but not more. As there is no window and fresh air and it might be difficult to handle for some people.

    For those who mention the smell of the drain of the toilet, it is true. But this is part of the adventure of sleeping into the old medina. Darkness is also part of riads, but there is a nice roof where you can get light and amazing views

    Abdennabi (old manager) and Mohammed (new manager) make my stay in this riad very special. Nice and warm people, always willing to help and make your stay grateful. Thank you both! The riad is small and simple, but clean and comfortable, close to one of the gates. Matalas and pillows are very comfortable

    A charming Guest House in a great location in the historical medina. It is in a good location to access main meeting points and places in the city, and the terrace is a lovely feature from where you can see across the rooftops. It is clean and tidy, with en-suite bathrooms and a traditional, fresh breakfast. The hospitality was exceptional; Abdennabi was responsive and helpful both before my arrival and during my stay, answering any questions and ensuring I felt safe. The city is lively and authentic and the medina is an exciting, maze-like experience! I definitely recommend this place - I couldn't have hoped for a better stay in Fes

    Nothing perticular about the hotel itself.

    The staff were very kind and friendly. Especially our host Abdennabi, who made us feel at home at every moment of our stay. He was there to help us with all our needs and requests, and he recommended us the locations we should visit and gave us a lot of useful advice on how to conduct ourselves in Fes and Morocco in general. As the hotel itself, it was very cosy and comfortable. Our experience was enhanced by the traditional style of the hotel, and the terrace is definitely the highlight. Everyday we had our breakfast there and in the evening we would drink a warm cup of tea made by our host Abdennabi. A big recommendation!

We enjoy it all the days at the terrace, it has an incredible view. Abdennabi was an great host, he always was very helpful, friendly and cordial. He give us a lot of information from Fez and what can visit at the Medina. For sure, we will recommend you this Riad.

    The stairs were very strip.... If you have problems with your back or knees I would not recommend it.

    The place was wonderful. The terrace in the roof is magnificent! You get a view of the whole Medina. The rooms were nice and clean also. Still what made our stay amazing was the help of Abdennabi who came to pick us up from the nearest gate, was available 24/7 to answer every possible question and give the best solution, arranged a taxi for us to leave and accompanied us once more.

    Too many steps but it was a good workout after all the yummy tajines.

    I liked the location. For me it was very convenient to find and manage my stay in Fes. Its near Place Safferine, close to Bab Rcif, al Attarine and the souks. Staff- both Yousef and Khadija ensure a great stay. They are both kind hearted souls and treated me like family. As a solo traveler, i was deeply comforted by their presence and how well they treated me. Khadija makes brilliant local dishes. Try them for sure. Ask Yousef for tour ideas in Fes and outside. He is knowledgeable in travel.

    I cannot recommend DAR Cherif Idrissi enough! My partner and I recently spent two enchanting nights at this hidden gem nestled in the heart of the old medina. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the exceptional host, Abdennabi. His flawless English and profound knowledge of the city's heritage, history, and local culture left us in awe. Abdennabi went above and beyond to provide us with invaluable advice, and his perpetual smile made us feel truly welcomed. It's not every day that you encounter a host as remarkable as Abdennabi. Don't miss out on this extraordinary experience! Now, let's talk about the location. DAR Cherif Idrissi is a true oasis in the heart of the old medina, boasting exquisite Moroccan decor that immerses you in the rich heritage of the city. The guest house's highlight is undoubtedly its breathtaking terrace, offering panoramic views that will take your breath away. The mornings here were an absolute delight, with a sumptuous breakfast spread that perfectly complements the beauty of the surroundings. Special thanks must also go to Mi Khadija, the wonderful cook at the guest house, who always greeted us with a warm smile and ensured our mornings started on the right note. DAR Cherif Idrissi is not just a place to stay; it's an experience that enriches your understanding of Morocco's history and culture. If you're planning a trip to this captivating city, do yourself a favor and book a stay at this exceptional guest house. You won't regret it!

    Everything was fine. Medina is a maze, but after you find the place once it will be easier later. Moreover the host offered us help to find the way from the parking and stayed responsive during our whole stay.

    Located in the heart of medina (close to all main attractions), beautiful interior and exceptional view from the rooftop terrace. We both agreed that we had there the best breakfasts in the whole Morocco. The host was very friendly, helpful and easy going!

    The smell coming from sink, shower drain. The shower size is very small for a 1.93 guy, the bathroom door is sooo small but that is usual in Morocco.

    Ismail, the host, is very friendly and helpful. The place is really clean, terrace has good view of the city. Quite quiet. Breakfast basic but good, it's not buffet, it is cooked for individual person. Small portion.
