Riad Tizwa Fes

Lovely riad with authentic feel. Rooms were very spacious with separate dressing area. Staff were very polite and friendly. Merieme was extremely helpful and did everything to make our stay comfortable. She booked hamam service for us in advance and also recommended the right places/stores for shopping. Much thanks to her, our stay was wonderful.

Very peaceful and a lovely place to escape the heat of the day. The Riad is beautifully decorated and has all modern facilities - including a/c in bedrooms. A lovely roof terrace for breakfast or an evening drink. Very helpful staff who all speak good English and can offer many suggestions It’s inside the medina which makes exploring the main sights very easy

In terms of value for money this Riad is a good choice. Its location is ideal - quiet in the old town medina but only a hundred yards from a taxi drop off - and good for getting to places in and out of the medina. The rooms are fine for the price we paid. Not luxurious but things worked and the beds were comfortable. We had room 4 on the top floor - exactly 50 steep stairs to get to it so not for anyone with health issues but very quiet and private. We thought some of the other rooms might have been noisy from the central courtyard but this was only our feeling - we had peace and quiet. The roof terrace is pleasant although whilst having some laundry drying there most of the day is environmentally friendly we thought it not so attractive. There are some views but it is very much overlooked by other riads nearby. What makes this a special place is the attitude of the staff - their desire to be helpful and attentive was exemplary. From Merriem the manageress through to Mohammed and another guy whose name was something like Ayub - sorry this is so remiss of me - and the kitchen staff who opened the door for us with smiles, everyone seemed prepared to go the extra yard to make our experience so special. Mint tea was offered or just appeared when we returned from excursions and Merriem's recommendations for activities and restaurants were brilliant. Breakfasts were good too and they accommodated our request for a repeat of some special local doughnut-like specialities. Thanks to Merriem we had a great local guide for the medina, an enjoyable hammam experience, a wonderful cookery class, a taxi day out to Volubilis which was a highlight and visited a ceramic factory with brilliant artisans at work. Her restaurant recommendations were all spot on for us as non-meat eaters - we have reviewed them separately. So go for the location and the helpfulness of the staff..... and value for money, certainly in the room we were allocated - number 4.

Simply the best! Wonderful Riad in the most nice and easy to reach, part of the Fes medina. Rooms furnished with the authentic and unique spirit of Morocco. Excellent staff with the amazing and kind Merieme ready to help you and to make you feeling at Home. Michele from Italy

Had a great three night stay here in room 1. Location is excellent, just a few minutes from the medina but quieter for being outside. The riad is beautiful and our room was huge with two loos and even a dressing room. Highlights were also the very friendly and efficient staff, Miriam is a star, plus a terrific breakfast which we had each morning on the roof terrace. Have no hesitation in recommending
