We followed our porter through the twilit twisting streets of the Medina for some time before they opened the door to this incredibly opulent Riad! What a gem with ornate and detail-oriented renovated rooms that restored the splendour of this old house. Food was delicious on the rooftop terrace overlooking the Medina. Host was gracious and staff made us feel at home. We wandered through the Medina the next day and it was a true Moroccan experience. Would highly recommend!

The facilities at Riad Rcif are absolutely breathtaking. Feels like staying in a (very comfortable) museum. Also the best A/C and best showers we had in all of Morocco. I normally don’t like pushy help, but the owner’s insistence that we eat at the nearby restaurant and use his volunteer guides was invaluable. I never have trouble navigating new spaces, but the medina is insanely easy to get lost in.

It's buried in the heart of the Medina and therefore difficult to access. The service was fairly poor with the manager sleeping at checkout time. We also weren't shown to our room but left in the reception area drinking the complementary tea upon arrival. The upstairs terrace for breakfast is good.

Exceptional Hospitality from Aymane
Riad Rcif in Fez, Morocco is a true gem that I highly recommend to anyone looking for a luxurious and authentic Moroccan experience. From the moment you step through the door, you are transported to a serene oasis that is beautifully decorated with traditional Moroccan furnishings and artwork. The Riad's courtyard is especially breathtaking, with its tranquil pool and lush greenery that creates a peaceful atmosphere. One of the standout features of Riad Rcif is its excellent staff, who go above and beyond to ensure that guests have an enjoyable stay. In particular, Aymane is a member of staff who truly stands out. He is an exceptional host who greets guests with a warm smile and provides helpful recommendations on places to see and things to do in Fez. Aymane is dedicated to making guests feel comfortable and at home, and his attention to detail is evident in the small touches that he adds to each guest's experience. Overall, I highly recommend Riad Rcif to anyone visiting Fez. Its beautiful architecture, stunning decor, and exceptional staff make for an unforgettable stay. And with Aymane as a part of the team, you are sure to be well taken care of and made to feel right at home.

Unique stay in the heart of the Medina!
We had an incredible stay at Riad Rcif. Finding the Riad is a bit overwhelming at first as the Medina is chaotic and tight. Keep your head up and you’ll eventually see signs for Riad Rcif and Alif, which are sister properties. Follow these signs! Don’t let people try to guide you as they will ask for money. The signs are very clearly laid out, thank you to the hotel team! The sign “Place Rcif” take you back out of the Medina. Once you find the Riad….it’s even better than the photos, which is rare! The site is gorgeous, but the best part are the staff working there - they are so warm, helpful and kind. Hassan helped us with finding the parking lot, Ayman was always available for restaurant recommendations and the whole team (including their younger friend whose name we missed) were always smiling and making our days better, especially at breakfast! Props to the team. It’s important to manage your expectations when booking any Riad in the Medina - it’s loud, old and confusing. If you’re okay with this, you’ll have an incredible time exploring! A word of caution about the tour guide the hotel recommends - it is a commercial tour. This was interesting, as we saw leather, copper, weaving, ceramic districts etc, but may not be for everyone. The tour is 250MAD for 4 people for 3 hours, but he also gets you to pay 160MAD in advance to cover your “entrance fees”. Parking is ~10min walk, 30MAD/day. Lovely attendants and we felt totally safe leaving our car there.

Amazing hotel, only couple of flaws
Beautiful hotel, like staying in a royal palace. Staff was amazing, took care of every request. Huge rooms, hot water, comfortable bed. Our only complaints were the lighting is very dim in the rooms, and our shower had only 1/4 of a glass door so it was very difficult to not get water all over the floor. Location is well marked but still very easy to get lost in the medina of fes, be prepared and dont get hustled by locals for help finding the place, call the hotel or text on whatsapp and they will make sure you get what you need or come and meet you… Also amazing view from rooftop terrace of entire old city, and great breakfast included

Great Riad....a little hard to find though
Loved this riad, and the staff were so friendly and helpful, and went above and beyond to make our stay there good. The only drawback is the location! Its definitely hidden inside the medina through windy pathways, and our first day there was a disaster, trying to find the place with our luggage on google maps, and hauling our luggage there (think at one point we wound up accidentally going through the fish market with our luggage!). Word of advice: hire one of the porters to take you to the riad (should be between 10-30 dhs, but will be worth it until you know how to get there yourself). Also, the riad offers tour of the medina, through a guide they use, called Abdul. I don't recommend him because he overcharged us for the taxis we took (if the meter said 15dhs, he asked us to pay the taxi 30 dhs), and did something similar when we grabbed sandwiches.Perhaps he assumes that because you're a tourist, you can afford to pay extra? Wasn't impressed with this! The Riad itself though, was great, breakfast was good, and would recommend it.

The property was lovely. It was so special to spend time in a beautifully restored riad from the 14th century. How often do you get to do that? But as nice as the riad was and the amenities they had to offer, the staff was incredible. Each of them was amazingly kind and helpful. They really made the stay extra special.

Great Moroccan Riad with lots of charm
Hotel is decorated with Moroccan flair and charm. The gentleman that checked us in was super friendly and helpful. At check-in, they served Moroccan mint tea with sweets. Room is spacious for our family of four. We had dinner in the hotel and it was abundant and delicious. The staff was great, friendly and sociable. Breakfast was more than expected and served in the beautiful room. Overall, we were very please with the hotel. It’s location is a bit confusion when you enter the Medina but just pay someone a few Euro to bring you to the Riad.

Cosy riad and friendly staff
It is wonderful riad that I stayed in Fez. The riad like an art piece, very beautiful. The room is big , clean, silent and very cosy. I enjoyed the sunset at the terrace. I love the breakfast, very tasty. The staff service is good. Especially a staff called Anas, he is helpful, gentle and I had a good impression on his friendly smile, he made me just like stay at home. He was aggressive to help us when we were facing some problem , and explained very detailed to make sure we understand. So thanks for him a lot.

Overpriced, over promised, under delivered.
The riad is stunning but is located at the wrong end of the medina for access to restaurants etc and is down several, dark, winding alleyways which are daunting at night. The staff, especially the ‘boss’ are rude, surly and unhelpful which is a shame as the interior of the riad is beautiful and it could be an oasis if the staff were friendly and helpful. I won’t be staying there on my next visit.

Most charming stay at Riad Rcif
Our experience in Fez has been most memorable because of Faisal, the owner of Riad Rcif....right from the beginning to the very end, the service, the food, the comfort and most of all the glamourous old school charm of this place will make you come back here again and again. His suggestion for not only Fez but also the rest of Morocco are travelling with us even after we left the place. He introduced us to the best guide, Rachid and also the best touring agency, Pristigea Tours (Ibrahim and Hamid) who we are using for the rest of our trip in Morocco. Faisal was so attentive about each and every guest from welcoming them personally to saying goodbye warmly. We talked to him from the airport and found his very professional staff waiting for us at the brim of the old town for guidance and help with the luggage. The food at the Riad is also spectacularly presented and fresh. Rooftop terrace has the most amazing views and photo ops ..not to forget the pigeons and turtles to add to the charm. The lights, the tile work ...just breathtaking. Most of all it was Faisal and his staff, the personalized and kind attention which won our hearts. Definitely coming back here with other family members.
