Not a 3 star hotel, not even 1.
Mosquitoes in the room, could not sleep, got too many bites. The next morning, no hot water to take shower. Who designate stars to any given hotel?

Great hotel for trip to Fes
This hotel is strategically located by one of the main gates and this makes moving in the city very easy. The service was great from Saeed and Sanae and i really enjoyed my stay. The room is comfy to sleep and the breakfast was simple and tasted good. Definitely a great hotel for the value and i recommend staying here!

Good riad and location
We went there to explore the city and the surroundings. The riad is strategically placed within the medina near Rcif. Hosts are super friendly and very fluent in french and english. Breakfast was generous and tasty!

Live the Culture!
The Riad is a real culture inmerse place. It has all the needed to spend a night. What I didn’t like was the place where it is located; the entrance is very old and dirty perhaps inside it is much better; no good signs to find it and the parking is like 10 minutes away.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Biggest positive about this spot was its location, then the breakfast on the roof, then mediocre wifi. Other than that however, it was inadequate specifically in the bathroom - no toilet paper, large leak daily from the toilet, and the bath tub was barely functional. If you simply need a place to lay your head for a night then this’ll do, but don’t expect the most luxurious of experiences.

The roof terrace is worth it all, we had there breakfasts (and a yummy dinner) with a view... Our room was very big with a massive double bed. The staff was extremely helpful and welcoming. Location is great to explore the city during the day, although it is not the best at evening/night when the shops close as there are not many restaurants/cafes/bars around...

Lack of privacy, staff could be friendlier
This riad is a bit hard to find, we were calling the host for directions to no avail (no answer) and were constantly molested by children (and everyone else for that matter) to be guided to the riad. Finally we had no choice but use the "child guide service" only to be taken through a ridiculously long route (children always do this in hopes of higher tips, so beware, you will lose even more time!). The host was rather unfriendly and didn't even apologize for not answering the phone, claiming we was out looking for us (ridiculous lie). The room was very cold (November) and had transparent curtains (basically zero privacy). Host switches the courtyard light off at 1-2 a.m., talking on the phone until late without caring about his guests.

Typical traditional Riad.
Nice patio was with beautifully build interior. WIFI has strong signal and fast enough. One draw back in my bed room was ceiling light that was a simple exposed ordinary light bulb without decorative Moroccan light cover....

Good for value if you are on budget
When I am writing this review I am not totally at ease. The room is not as good as it is advertised on Hotels.com. It seems to me that there are two premises associated with the name of this riad, and I was arranged to be staying in a riad which seemed to be more old and less maintained. However, the staff there was amazing, including Sanae, Said (whom I understand to be a new-comer) and the kitchen lady. They offered great help to me regarding all my problems during my journey in Fez. They are amazing people.

We were accomodated in sisterly Riad El Bacha
To make it clear, we never stayed at this Riad but were taken to 'other Riad El Bacha' as the one presented above and originaly booked was unavailable when we showed up in the evening. Our flight arrived at 8.00pm and we could not make it earlier than 10.00pm. This Riad, that I have originaly booked, looks far smarter than the one we stayed in but, as my husband pointed out we got lucky with the location. The one we stayed in, and not the one showen here, is much closer to Rsif gate and parking, which was essential for us as we hired a rent a car. Therefore, it wont be fair to comment Riad showen as we have no knowledge of it.

Together with my girlfriend we had the pleasure and luck to stay at the Riad El Bacha and to meet the two Said. Amazing people and very suggestive Riad. The terrace has a fantastic view and having breakfast with the panorama of Fes is marvelous! Highly recommended!
