10/10 Exceptional

Excellent riad in the old city. Very friendly multilingual (Arabic, English and French) staff that can help with taxis and tours. Beautiful rooms with luxury touches (we had one on the top level with an open-air terrace and a wonderful view). The restaurant is excellent for breakfast and dinner. Highly recommended for those wanting a very nice place in the old medina.

Karawan Riad hospitality is wonderful! Breakfast was great. Rooms are tastefully designed. 3 new rooms are being added. No slippers and shower caps in the room. This riad is not for elderly or disabled guests.

10/10 Exceptional

This was the most stunning, quaint hotel to stay at in Fes!! We absolutely loved the aesthetics and cleanliness of our room, the incredible sunset view we had of the city during dinner on the rooftop, and the delicious breakfast full of various Moroccan specialties. The staff is so accommodating and warm — they treated us like family the moment we walked in. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing, luxurious retreat that also offers a chance to soak in the best of the city’s food, beauty, and culture!

Fabulousness!!!

This property is stunning! I can not say enough. Everything is top notch! Spa, breakfast, rooms, staff and the decor is gorgeous!!! Accustomed to luxury travel and this rated up there with luxury chains such as The Four Seasons!

We’ll be back!

We had the most amazing stay at Karawan! The riad is stunning - with historical aspects intact, yet modern furnishings, and not to mention very clean! The staff was incredibly helpful to our every need, and the hotel is the perfect location - an oasis in the bustling Medina. Also, their restaurant is amazing with great food at every meal! We particularly enjoyed our driver, who transferred us back and forth to Marrakesh.
Ryann, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Great hotel, poor food

Good: The most beautiful building inside with a stunning rooftop. Parking is a short walk up the road - no problem. Bad: The dinner in the hotel was unfortunately very average and expensive. Having eaten tajine all week across Morocco, it was definitely the worst one we have had. All the food was very salty. I mentioned this to the staff but they were not interested. As soon as we checked in, whilst drinking tea, the hotel were pushing us to have dinner. They asked multiple times.

What a privilege to be a guest at Karawan Riad! A rare gem in the Medina Fes el Bali! Excellent service, dining, spa, design and architecture! The people at the Riad are beyond professional, courteous, kind and accommodating. I felt at home. Karawan Riad is truly a definition of a luxury small hotel and very special to my heart. An exquisite place! I cannot wait to go back! Thank you kindly for such a great hospitality!

Stunning and stylish RIad

This is a classically beautiful Riad with a modern feel. The level of detail and design that has gone into creating this masterpiece is truly sensational and the owners deserve huge praise for the effort they have clearly put in. The staff are lovely and will go above and beyond to help you - always with a smile - one in particular was fantastic (and I apologise - I think the name sounded like Zebbi?) - his enthusiasm was appreciated and endearing. The room is modern and was just what we needed after a number of days on the road. This Riad is a relief to come back to after a busy day at the markets. Rooftop terrace has a great view and the library has a fabulous collection of books and other items. Would highly recommend staying here to anyone. We ate at the restaurant and also had lunch prepared. The lunch was absolutely sensational - top class cuisine here.

10/10 Exceptional

We were at Karawan Riad to celebrate a 50th birthday. Got there after a hectic 3 days in Sahara Desert. The Riad was truly our oasis. Our daughters were both exhausted from 3 days of driving. The staff at the Riad gave them unparalleled attention and took incredibly good care of them - even making them a lentil soup and rice. From the morning breakfast to booking us a guide to making reservations for us and accommodating our million requests - they did all with a smile. They even drove my brother to the pharmacy to pick up medicines. We took a cooking class at the Riad as well as the hamam and massages and it all made our trip special They even baked a cake for my sisters 50th birthday and set up a nice dinner for us The grounds are absolutely spectacular and the staff kind, considerate and caring. I have never stayed at a place and felt so royally treated. If we ever have a chance, we would go back to Karawan Riad

Luxury hotel with excellent service in an interesting location. Staff is top notch. Recommendations for restaurants and excursions are stellar. I stayed eight nights and definitely needed all those recommendations.

10/10 Exceptional

JUSTE EXCEPTIONNEL ! Par où commencer ? Nous avons été accueilli dès notre sortie du taxi pour nous accompagner au Riad. Après avoir mit un pied à l'intérieur, nous avons été subjugué par l'atmosphère chaleureuse & intimiste à la fois ! Le personnel est au petit soin et toujours disponible pour nous aiguiller au mieux dans notre séjour : bagagerie, délicate attention pour nos repas et petits déjeuner, ils parlent très bien Français, un téléphone vous est prêté afin d'utiliser internet durant votre sejour... Ce lieu est rempli de charme au détour d'une ruelle calme non loin de la médina. Toutes les activités peuvent être faites à pied ou en petit taxi très facilement. Nous sommes venus pendant le ramadan, mais l'accueil des Marocains a été plus qu'à la hauteur, restaurants ouverts et ville vivante. Un grand merci à l'équipe du Karawan Riad !! A bientôt nous l'espérons Anaïs & Quentin

Excellent Riad in Fes medina

5/5. Would highly recommend this Riad, the building is stunning and the rooms are finished to a very high standard, super comfy beds and our room had a private garden. The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful, even at 1am helping us with airport arrangements. Each morning we were given a brilliant local breakfast and had the choice of eating on the rooftop. The Riad is a short walk to the start of the medina but 15 minutes to the main part of the medina, this can be a little far at night but it was nice to not be in the centre of everything for the entire trip. I would definitely stay again and highly recommend.
