Dar Faracha Fes

A lovely calm place to stay in the heart of the medina

Pros: Beautiful riad, a great location tucked away in the heart of the medina, lovely home-cooked food, a warm fire and most of all a warm welcome from Mourad and the staff

Pros: This place was amazing. The host was very kind and ready to help in any way. The rooms are big and clean.

Pros: This is one of the best places we have ever stayed at, I cannot recommend it enough. I'll start with the most important, which is the people. Murad and the others made us feel like welcome guests rather than customers. They went out of their way to ensure that we weren't missing a thing. Starting with small things like ensuring we always have drinking water, to doing our laundry when we asked - without extra charge I might add. This is in addition to helping organize things during our stay. The room itself was beautiful, big, clean, comfortable and quiet. The riad is beautiful. Do yourself a favor and book this.

The Riad has lots of charm and history, right in the heart of the Medina, and the staff is wonderful

Pros: The hotel manager Mourak was fantastic. He spoke perfect English (among other languages) and was very helpful, even accompanying us to various places close by to make sure we do not get lost in the medina Maze. He was available every time we needed something. We had nice conversions with him about the maroccen culture - we really appreciated it. The kitchen lady was very nice and although she spoke no english we understood each other

Cons: Who visits should realise this Riad odds centuries old, built when amenities such as elevators were not considered. For us was not a problem.

Beautiful place to stay in Fes

Pros: Mourad was an awesome host, picking us up from the shuttle bus stop and always available for hints or just a quick talk. The room was amazing, the beds super comfy and the shower great. It was quite and the AC worked perfectly. The riad itself is beautiful. The location has its own charm. Sometimes the people around can be a bit annoying (trying to trick you all the time), but you also get to see some local life around, so overall ok.

Cons: Overall the breakfast was ok, but rather basic (no fruit or eggs, which we kinda hoped for, giving the very nice place).

Pros: It was a lovely place, super friendly staf, good breakfast I would recommend the riad and would love to go back! Thanks for the wonderfull stay

Cons: As you can read in other reviews it is not so easy to find in a narrow street but don´t worry you get help from mourad

Best experience ever! Escape in the fairytale of 1001 nights.

Pros: Escape from the Medina (old town) and jump into the fairytale of 1001 nights. Where is Aladin? Well there is Murad, the best host ever! He is always there, always on to make this stay unforgettable. Lovely beds, beautiful rooms, super breakfast. Best experience ever. Thanks Murad and team!! 10+

You cannot expect more

Pros: The Dar Faracha is a beautiful house, made very comfortable for guests. But what makes really the difference is the host: Maroud is able to make you feel at home, giving all the necessary assistance you may have, tailored for your needs. His friendliness is highly appreciated together with his professionalism. And what to say about the very nice lady who takes care of the breakfast and dinner? She is an unbelievable cook and a lovely person: if you stay there, ask for a dinner; you will be surprised by the quality and the flavor of food, a very enjoyable journey in the Moroccan cuisine. We loved our staying at Dar Faracha and recommend it: next time in Fes we will surely return there.

Classic riad in the medina, with an amazing host!

Pros: The one that makes a review +11 is the host, Mourad, who not only went out of his way with everything about the stay, but also shared information about customs and tips & tricks to find your way in the medina (like the shape of the street sign tiles; hexagon = dead end, square = pass through - no matter what the kids hanging around tells you). It is a riad in the medina, and as such it is fantastic. Yes - it is a maze to find it - but that's the medina, no matter if it is Fez or Marrakech.

Cons: All good!

nice riad. very pleasing and a discovery. excellent location.

Pros: surprising location in the small streets of Fes. Beautiful interior. beautiful room and very friendly and helpful staff. the food was very good as well and everything was uncomplicated. would definitely book this again.
