An amazing 250 years old Riad

As I have said in previous reviews, when it comes to accommodation it is not only about well painted/decorated walls etc. Our stay was amazing, the staff extremely friendly and helpful, and the riad is an experience everyone should have when visiting Morocco. It is a 250 years old Riad with spacious rooms, very clean, tha restaurant is really nice with a traditional menu which really loved it. If we ever come back to Fes it will be our first choice. Thank you for having us and for everything you did for us.

A truly unique place to stay at in Fez

The Riad Arabesque is an old institution in Fez. Celebrities such as Usher, Brad Pitt and George Clooney have all stayed here and it is clear why. The staff are making sure that you feel like you are staying at the house of someone you know rather than at a hotel. It is a personal and genuine experience in all aspects that I can highly recommend.

我们是晚上到的，说实话天黑有点不好找，因为它的大门在一个很不起眼的小毛毛道里，且没有任何标识。酒店坐落在一个山坡上，天气好的话可以俯瞰整个城市。酒店陈设布置非常讲究，晚餐和早餐都很好，服务员非常耐心和负责任，很值得推荐的地方。

Dangerous people, beware.

Be very careful with this place. The owner works in conjunction with unofficial “guides” who take you to the medina and make hefty commissions on overpriced artisan items. The Riad itself, while aesthetically pleasing on first glance, is severely run down. It smells of mold, is full of huge roaches and has a lot of cosmetic damage and disrepair. Their website advertises a 60 euro massage and hamman as well as childcare. Upon my appointment I learned that there is no childcare and was charged 70 euro (mind you my children were in the room throughout treatment, not exactly the relaxing hour I had planned). The “massage therapist” is not trained and lacks understanding of human anatomy or basic massage technique. The icing on the cake happened after checkout. I prepaid for my 3 night stay over $319. I paid my overcharged 70 euro roach infested spa experience, I requested and paid my final bill after breakfast of over $75 (and conveniently their credit card machine was not working, welcome to Fes). I used her driver to depart. She had the driver pull over on the side of the road with 2 other men and hold my children and I hostage for 40 minutes until she arrived demanding money she claimed I owed her. They would not let us go until I paid her a lousy $30. Her driver then demanded our U.S. passports at which point things took a bigger turn for the worse. I have a case filed against all the people involved including the Riad owner who orchestrated the event. Dangerous people.

見た目はいいが、清潔感は悪い。ロケーションは良くも悪くも。

リヤドアラベスク周辺はあまり観光地チックではなく、場所を探すのに苦労する。フェズからのツアーを利用するときは便利かもしれないが。暗い時間にチェックイン予定の場合は避けた方が良いかもしれない。オーナーはちょっと怖めだけど優しい方。ハーブティーは絶品。英語は通じるようで理解してない感じ。バスタブがあるのに栓がない。ディナーはまぁまぁ美味しいがちょっと高い。

Great design needs maintenance

Incredible design but some areas need to be updated. Staff were very helpful. Stayed in December so it was quiet but it was very cold in the dining area inside. The staff tried to heat it with gas heaters and they helped us despite our late arrival. It was good and I would stay again but if they updated the bathrooms etc it could be incredible

Terrible Experience

We booked 3 rooms with a very high price tag and this was by far the worst hotel experience in Morocco, This is not even a 2 stars rather than 5 stars. Ac was broken, the toilets dirty and leaking, towels with rips, and to top it off the management is very aggressive and don't care to even listen. we are frequented travelers and we will NOT be able to recommend this place even to our enemies and tight how bad this is.

Scschönes Haus, gute lage, mehr leider nicht

Das Riad ist sehr schön und gut gelegen mit auto gut erreichbar,jedoch ist zu viel in die Hose gegangen als das wir es empfehlen könnten. Am tag vor Anreise schrieben wir eine e-mail für die adresse vom Parkplatz fürs navi, mail wurde nicht beantwortet. Am morgen beim anruf wurde gesagt die Rezeption sei erst ab 10uhr offen. Bei einem weiteren Anruf nach 10uhr, wir sollten uns bei Ankunft in Fes melden, der Avis Mitarbeiter übernahm das Gespräch und bekam eine anfahrtsadresse.vor ort liess man uns 45 min an der Rezeption warten und fertigte eine später angekommene Reisegruppe vor uns ab. Dann brachten sie uns ohne Erklärung in ein benachbartes Riad wo man uns sagte sie wären überbucht und wir bekähmen für die nächste nacht dafür eine suite.Eine wahl hatten wir nicht.Als wir uns nicht zufrieden zeigten wurde zusätzlich eine spa Behandlung offeriert, welche wirklich gut gemacht war.am zweiten abend war dann ein firmenanlass im Riad der party machte mit lauter musik bis 23:30! Beim Abendessen im Arabesque dann ein schlimmer fauxpas! Wir sind Vegetarier und uns wurde gesagt dass sie nur salat und Suppe für uns hätten,wir entscheiden für die Suppe. Beim zweiten schöpfen fand sich jedoch ein grosser knochen darin! Man wisse nicht wie das passieren konnte. Die konsumation habe20 Derb El Miter, Zenjfour - Medina, Fès 30200, Marokkon wir zwar nicht gezahlt aber wir würden das Riad nicht wieder buchen! Leider!
