Reviews of Riad Rasia

A hidden riad in the heart of medina. At first it is difficult to navigate but staying there for four days it made us easy to go back and forth. The staff especially murad is very accomodating and our breakfast is so good. Thank you and we highly recommend staying in this riad.

Had a great time in Fes, our host Murad was really caring and helped with everything we needed. Breakfast and Tea was always a highlight of our day!

Well located and comfortable riad. All the staff has been great, very welcoming and friendly! Photos of the room should be added, as it's actually pretty nice.

Unfortunately we couldn't really enjoy the rooftop as it was being renovated.

The staff were so friendly and went out of their way to make us comfortable. The riad is clean and has all the mod cons (A/C, hairdryers etc) plus the showers are perfect for washing off a busy day travelling. The spot is close enough to all the main sites, but slightly away from the party spots/main tourist area, which makes it quiet and relaxing, just what we wanted.

I have worked with Riad Rasia several times, and I am always impressed by their outstanding service. The team is great they truly take care of my clients, offering them comfortable and clean rooms every time. My clients have always been very happy with their stays here, and they especially appreciate the helpful and attentive staff. The manager also stayed in touch with me during my clients’ stays to make sure everything was going perfectly, which I truly appreciate. Their care and attention to detail make a big difference. Thank you so much for the excellent service!

Great hotel Great staff. Very clean and beautiful

Stay too short...

Mourad is the best host

Great location, in the center of Medina. Delicious breakfast, excellent cleaning service and Murad welcomed us very well.

We had a great week at Riad Rasia. We liked the location, being just a tiny bit removed from the busyest streets of the medina, in a quiet corner but close to all the action. Breakfast every day was delicious and plentiful. Our room was spotless and beautifully decorated in the traditional Moroccan style. I particularly liked the big stained glass window. The staff were all extremely friendly and genuinely kind.

I can't really think of anything we didn't like.

The riad was in a great location close to the medina in old medina. The place was as pictured and beautiful. We had a walking day trip organized by the riad, dinner served at the riad. Hammam is under construction as well. Great location. Side note. Will have a 5 min walk from the main road to get to the riad

Beautifully restored interior, really friendly and helpful staff

Lovely building with large, quiet rooms Mourad our host gave us a lovely welcome and lots of useful info and helped organise an excellent trip to Volubilis and Meknes with Abdul Kadir.

A lovely riad, with a really lovely and helpful manager who was very attentive and considerate, greeting us with tea on arrival and arranging our breakfast on the rooftop each morning. Would recommend to anyone staying in the area.

Extremely friendly host! He helped us arrange hammam and helped us find food. The morning we left it was very early and he woke up early to send us off with breakfast to go! The property is historic and beautiful and very clean

Nothing

The host welcomed us warmly with mint tea and sesame cookies upon arrival. The mint tea was incredibly refreshing, and the cookies were delicious! After leaving, we couldn’t find mint tea as good as this anywhere else. We also tried a traditional local dish (a type of bread) at the hotel, and it was absolutely tasty. Breakfast was also very enjoyable, and the courtyard had a lot of character and charm. The host was very friendly and made us feel at home.

The air conditioning unit in the room seemed dusty, which triggered our allergic rhinitis, causing itchiness in our eyes, nose, and throat. Unfortunately, the heating function of the air conditioning wasn’t working, so we had a cold night as there was no other source of warmth.

Cleanliness and hospitality top! The position in the medina. Beautiful room and good and healthy breakfast.

The room we got was not finished yet. It was missing essential furniture, like a bedside table, some lights were not working and decorative elements in the room were missing, like a carpet.

The riad is very beautiful! The location is great, it was easy to find it. The only problem was that Google maps didn’t show the correct final turn. Staff is welcoming and supportive - gave us all the necessary info about medina, helped with the luggage, communicated before arrival. The room was simple but clean with good AC.

The soap and shampoo were poor, the were no shower gel.

RATING BY GUEST SUSANNE: Staying at Riad Rasia felt like stepping into a dream. Every detail of the accommodation was lovingly and beautifully designed. I enjoyed the most restful sleep in the white, immaculately clean, and crisp sheets of a spacious wooden four-poster bed. The staff, particularly Murad, went above and beyond to take care of me. He thoughtfully explained which sites to visit and flawlessly arranged transport for me. Breakfast was an exceptional experience—a feast for the senses. Every dish was artfully presented in beautiful little bowls, with a new delicacy to savor each day. I had my own cozy breakfast corner, complete with a charming rose-patterned sofa, where I could savor my breakfast in perfect comfort.

Beautiful and sparking clean rooms (even better that the pictures) Very helpful and polite people running the riad Good location

Nothing - Everything was perfect

The riad was beautiful, showcasing the traditional charm of the area perfectly. Our host Mourad was exceptionally kind and helpful, assisting us with everything we needed.

During the day, the riad hosts tourist groups for lunch, so preparations begin early in the morning. As a result, you may wake up to the strong smell of cooking, onions, in particular. We noticed that by the time we left, all of our belongings had absorbed the scent of food ( something i really did not like). It would have been great if the food at the riad were more reasonably priced, as it was on the expensive side (European prices). This would have been especially helpful, given that the food options in the area didn’t always seem the cleanest or most appetizing. The riad is located in the old town of Fes, which, for us, was very overwhelming. The neighborhood is densely crowded and not clean, with some common tourist traps (beware of claims like "this shop only opens once a year"). Additionally, there was a strong smell of leather that even permeated the riad itself. In my opinion, Fes may not be the most baby-friendly destination. These details aren’t necessarily drawbacks specific to Riad Rasia, as they likely apply to many riads in the area. However, it's helpful to know what to expect before visiting Fes.

Beautiful house and well located. Staff is amazing, welcoming and helpful. We particularly enjoyed Mourad's (hope I got his name right) service and help answering all our questions about the medina. Rooms are spacious.

The hotel feels slightly unfinished - work is still going on on the rooftop and the main common areas are empty. The hotel could benefit from more ambiance and lighting (especially after sundown where all the lights are turned off and the place is completely dark) but that did not affect the overall comfort.
