Our stay at the riad rcif was nothing short of extraordinary. The architecture is absolutely stunning. Every corner of the riad exudes charm and elegance. The staff deserve a special mention for their exceptional hospitality. From the moment we arrived, they were friendly and welcoming. They went out of their way to ensure we had the best experience possible. One of the highlights of our trip was also a great example of the service. We went on a guided trip and stopped at a tannery. While we had done some research beforehand on pricing, negotiating there was quite challenging and we ended up being overcharged significantly, despite our guide assuring us we had gotten a good deal. When we returned to the riad and shared our experience, the owner and his team immediately offered their help. They went above and beyond to assist us in getting our money back and took us to a store they personally frequent for their own purchases. Not only did they help us negotiate a much better price, but the owner’s brother also arranged for someone to accompany us to ensure we received a fair, local price. Their dedication and willingness to help, even though they had no obligation to do so, was absolutely remarkable and made our stay unforgettable. While most people and place would have simply said “oh we’re so sorry to hear that it happened to you”, Abdel and his team chose to go above and beyond to assist us and safeguard our interests. If this weren’t pure kindness, then I don’t know what is. We highly recommend this riad to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable experience in Morocco.

This fabulous hotel is well worth a visit. Situated in the very heart of the ancient Medina in Fes and accessed via a maze of tiny streets from the Rcif gate into the old city. There is a real wow moment when the door into the Riad opens to reveal its central courtyard lined with traditional tiles, lamps and furniture as well as trailng exotic plants. We ate both nights at the rooftop restaurant. The food was an excellent selection of local dishes from soups and salads to cous cous and tagines all made with food bought fresh from the Medina markets. A good selection of Moroccan wines was available. The breakfasts were also traditional and excellent. The owner, Noor, and his polite and efficient team couldn't do enough for us, organising transfers and tours. A perfect base for exploring this fascinating city. We would love to stay again....

It was perfect...

Family Riad Rcif has a great view, great location near Medina Market, Has a history to die for. The detail in everything is something you just have to come and see. The beds are clean and super comfortable. My room is like from a fairly tail and I slept like a queen. And the rest of the staff were super accomodating, welcoming, respectful, helpful and they have lots of connections to get us what we needed or where we wanted to go. We did notice tourists that were really rude and unreasonable, my jaw dropped. They really work relentlessly for you, to make you feel at home during your stay. Be a good tourist. I really appreciate you so much. Thank you for everything.

This Riad was absolutely incredible, it was so sumptuous with its mosaics and atmosphere, totally beautiful. Also the Hamman and massage by Jihane and Fati was fabulous! Can highly recommend .

It was a long way into the Medina but well worth it when you got there!

Beautifully decorated riad and staff were happy to help. Food and drink service was performed like you would expect at a quality restaurant. Plenty of food for breakfast too.

The only (minor) thing was that, at times, there was washing hung out in plain view and laundered towels piled up in one of the sitting areas.

Fantastic amenities. Great staff & atmosphere, especially the soft oriental instrumental music continuously playing in the background. The views from the roof terrace were phenomenal. Hard to beat this riad especially considering how cheap it was.

It felt like we were staying in a museum! So absolutely gorgeous! Staff was exceptional! Every little detail was perfect. Rooftop terrace had amazing views and breakfast was incredible! I highly recommend this beautiful Riad!

Everything was perfect!

Riad Rcif and Spa is an oasis in Fes. The best Riad of our entire Morocco trip. The owner goes out of his way to give guests all kinds of helpful tips on how to travel well in Morocco. He also tells you a lot of interesting historical details about Fes and the other cities in Morocco. You can approach him with any concerns, he speaks perfect English and is very open-minded and personable. I have never stayed in an accommodation with such service before. The rest of the staff is also extremely friendly and accommodating, making you feel at home. The riad itself has been lovingly restored, clean, the beds are wonderful, you sleep very well and it is completely quiet. The food is excellent, a Moroccan cook cooks herself and both dinner and breakfast are very, very good. The location is also ideal and the owner will work out a perfect route for you to explore the city on your own. If you come to Fes you definitely have to book here!!

Let's start with the basics. Riad Rcif was the best of our trip to Morocco. When I imagine a riad, this is it! The design is beyond reproach. The attention to detail and the visual aesthetic reflect a very personal eye. Everywhere that you looked had something special. And any riad that has a bar (not just a bar but one with so much mood), wins me over. All the rooms have windows opening onto the courtyard and what we loved was just the sound of the water fountain. Dinner and breakfast are served in the restaurant on the roof (at least while we were there) keeping the sounds in the courtyard at a minimum. In itself, the riad seems to be positioned well without a lot of outside noise. With that said, it's also on the quieter side of the medina away from the Blue Gate. Now for the real review and this, I believe, is what sets riads/hotels truly apart. First and foremost, the owners and the st staff are always available. You know from the beginning that they are 'curators' of this design museum! I can't say enough about the team including Noor.Hassan From finding atm's and getting SIM cards to managing the medina (the first day was crazy for us!), someone was always there to help. we felt included in their family. I will second what many have said; Fez definitely is better than Marrakech! A big thanks to all and we do hope one day to visit again!

We have been touring Morocco for a few days now and ended up in this FABULOUS hotel in the labyrinth of Fes. The Manager is helpful, and kind and speaks perfect English - which was a great help to us. The vibe of the hotel is ancient elegance.... built as a home in the 13th century - but almost luxury accommodation now. The food was excellent, and they have a variety of moroccon wine - which is a bit of a challenge at times if you like to have a glass with your meal. (Morrocan wine is very good BTW) The rooms are 13th century with updates where you'd want them ... plumbing etc. Very interesting and the beds are perfect. I'm an earplug person and slept right through ... but the doors are wood - so like any place, sound can come through. But it's a very quiet hotel in general. This hotel is most definitely a highlight of our tour.

TV didn't work, but that wasn't a problem for me.
