Riad la Perle de la Médina

We are a family of 5 and enjoyed our stay at this beautiful riad. The staff were amazingly helpful and nice! They were flexible with our meal times, walked us to a restaurant when we didn’t feel safe walking alone. They let us eat our pizza takeout in the dinning room area. We would highly recommend staying here, the service is incredible and we were very impressed!

Dangerous place. Expensive. Very bad service. We was dropped. Dirt bathroom. Hair on a pillow. Swindle booking. Dirty cushions. There are unpleasant smell in the room. Untidy and unhigienic. The hotel has not email adress. Impossible contact with them. Anything advisable.

The riad looks stunning, the terrasse is lovely and has a cozy atmosphere. The staff is wonderful and the tea was amazing, I also liked the sweet can only be positive about this wonderful place and we’ll definitely be back. Tooooooooooooooop

An absolutely beautiful hotel in a converted mansion. The staff is incredibly helpful and the location is near most of the Medina's attractions. Breakfast is included and excellent. The rooms have solid wifi and air conditioning, and although there are no elevators the staff will help with bags before you even ask. A few notes that Americans would not expect: -The Riad will expect payment in cash (in MAD). Much of Morocco is cash-only, and this is doubly true in Fez. -The Riad is going to expect that you will not have made plans and will instead ask them to set things up for you. This is going to be a common offer from many people you meet in Fes. If you book a tour with a guide, that guide is going to want to arrange any other tours. The Riad hosts, in our case, were somewhat annoyed that we had booked tours to fill our days. We later learned that there is a general system of informal kickbacks that filter back from anything that you buy... which will inflate the price of those goods (aka Tourist Tax or Foreigner Tax). My suggestion is to book your tours and fill your days, but tell the Riad that you just intend to walk around and explore. Meet your guide offsite if you don't want to deal with the Riad's annoyance. -After your stay, your hosts will likely offer their contact information. This is useful if you want to ship things from Fes, since most small stores don't have websites. It'll cost you a markup but is useful!

La Perle de la Medina is an amazing place to stay at in Fes. It's in the old Medina very close to the blue gate. The atmosphere and interior of the riad is typical Moroccan. Every detail of the decoration was perfect. Rooms are quite big with all necessary facilities. Breakfast was delicious and staff were very helpful!

Very relaxing stay in a spacious and clean room. Selma was very nice and accommodating but Mohammed went beyond to show us Moroccan hospitality. A big thank you from us. For fellow travellers, the Riad is well located for the major attractions, it’s the cleanest and warmest place we stayed in during our trip. Air conditioner worked perfectly and not too noisy. If you need a private tour the hotel is prepared to help with that too.
