"Pros: My friend and I had a wonderful experience during my one-day stay at the ryad, thanks largely to our host Youssef. His hospitality was outstanding, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. He was exceptionally supportive and friendly, providing a map of the Medina, highlighting the best tourist spots, and personally guiding us through the labyrinthine streets from the Blue Gate to the ryad. This thoughtful guidance continued when we departed, as he kindly led us to a taxi bound for the train station.
The ryad itself was a delight, adorned with beautifully traditional decorations that captured the essence of local culture. The rooms and beds were comfortable, providing a perfect retreat after a day of exploration. Additionally, the terrace offered a splendid view, adding to the overall tranquility and appeal. The breakfast was also a highlight, featuring a delicious selection of msemen, coffee, juice, milk, omelet, and bread. Everything we wanted to see and do was conveniently close to the ryad, enhancing our visit to Fez
Cons: While the ryad offers a true taste of Fez with its traditional decorations and central location within the Medina, I found the room quite small and the ryad itself was a bit hidden in one of the many narrow streets. This setup is typical of the historic Medina, where cramped conditions and labyrinth-like alleys are common. For travelers looking for spacious accommodations and easy accessibility, it's important to consider these aspects when booking a stay." ~Meliza
"Pros: Good location right on one of the busy streets of the old town. Very beautiful house, but with very narrow staircase. Rooftop terrace is nice to have.
Cons: The bathroom is quite old and also a bit cramped, but it works in the end." ~Patrick
