Riad Mazar Fes

If I could, I would give more than 5 stars for this breathtaking riad in the old city Fes. If you are a frequent traveler, you probably have have experienced the catfish aspect of a property posting it's unrealistically beautiful pictures on these platforms. Riad Mazar Fes is the exception. Pictures don't do justice to how beautiful this exceptionally build and meticulously maintained riad. And that is not the best thing about it. For starters, it's people tops the charts. Owner of the place Mr. Khaled treated us like family. He gave us time and attention, giving us a background of the place he build from ruins to a palace like riad. Being an arts and antiquities collector shows in his attention to detail here. He selected a wonderful staff too. Omar at the front desk couldn't be any nicer. He was willing to go above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable. Having stayed in a riad before, I was afraid that our room would be another old and uncomfortable space. It was surprisingly very modern and had all the comforts of a 5 star hotel. Daily clean towels and sheets, clean bathroom, fridge, TV, A/C, hairdryer, you name it, it has it. I can name a few top name hotel chains that are not as clean and comfortable as the room we had. Location is a walking distance to all attractions in Fes including the market, tanneries and historic sites, at thhe same time avoiding the noise and insccesiblity. You can park your car right in front of the property. I highly recommend it.

Wonderful and attentive staff, the decor is beyond beautiful. The bathroom in the standard room is not the most functional in terms of layout but would not hesitate to stay here again

Clean with very friendly personnel. Centrally located

We really enjoyed our stay at Riyad Mazar. The staff and owners treated us like family. Location was great and highly recommend it. Helpful staff helped us arrange for a driver and a guide for the Medina. Laundry service was provided with a small extra fee. We watched World Cup games in the courtyard with the owners. We appreciated the hospitality and look forward to returning there again for a future visit to Fes.
