Reviews of Riad Les Idrissides Chez LEA

Great stay!

Great location as it is within the medina. Amazing rooftop view of the city. This was by far the best breakfast that we had in any of our accommodations and we stayed in 6 different places in and around Morocco for this trip. We even had our laundry done for a small fee.

The riad is very close to the Bab Bou Jeloud (the blue gate). It's clean, and has an amazing courtyard, where they serve an AMAZING breakfast: big quantity and quality (different kinds of bread, orange juice, marmalade, honey, butter, yogurt, coffee, tea...). The terrace is quiet and with an amazing view. But the special point is the staff: they collect you to find the riad easily, the cleaning lady is very nice, even if she doesn't speak English, and the owner is incredible: super friendly, detail-oriented, and a good person. Super recommended!

Everything was good. Thanks for having us!

In heart of the medina. Slightly off the Main Street and difficult to find. But fun place when there. Lovely host b

Stairs!

Breakfast is well prepared and delicious! Overall experience is great.

Comfortable room, accommodating staff, close to Main Street of Medina, can do laundry for a fee, nice upstairs patio with overview of surrounding area.

Challenging to find even with signs

Salah who runs the Riadh was very helpful in many aspects particularly to help you find your way around the medina and to advise restaurants and places of interest

It is very representative of a traditional moroccan home

We were overwhelmed with the hospitality of the host Salah who treated us like family. He arranged everything we asked him in advance from the airport transfers to a tour guide as well as gave us a personal tour of the medina for our first day orientation as well as take us to the gate of the medina. He is also accessible at anytime by WhatsApp. On our last day he also accompanied us to do our last minute shopping and introduced us to his family. He also accommodated other requests which we appreciated. The room is comfortable with tv, heater/aircon, shower and toilet and the living room was big enough for all the guests. The terrace is also lovely when it is not raining. Breakfast was also lovely. Most of all, Salah was there to take us to our airport transfer at 2am and personally say goodbye. We highly recommend that you stay here when you are in Fez.

Lovely interior and stunning bathroom. Staff was amazing and treated us like family.

The most unique thing about this Riad is the hospitality of the hosts - Mr. Salah took really good care of us. He met us when we arrived (and got a bit lost in the Medina streets), showed us around the area, gave great recommendations on the local restaurants, helped us get through some unexpected last minute changes and offered his support throughout. Thank you so much for your amazing kindness! The riad is located very close to the Blue gates so it's quite easy to move around. The room was cozy with comfortable bed, there's also a big rooftop terrace where you can enjoy beautiful views of the Medina. Totally recommended!

Lovely riad, good location right in medina, Salah and Fatima were really kind.

Breakfast was timely and plentiful with many options. Location provided quick easy access to shops, markets, ATM, and sights in a bustling Medina, yet just enough distance to provide peace and quiet inside the riad. Rooftop had comfortable enclosed seating area, and provided great views. Owner and on-site hosts responded very quickly and helpfully to every inquiry; they were very friendly and pleasant. Guests should know there are 3 levels in this riad, plus the rooftop. Living room, dining area and largest ensuite bedroom are on second level, w 2 ensuite bedrooms on 3rd. Kitchen and small reception area are on lower level. Stairs are a little steep. Personally, I loved running up and down the stairs, but may be challenging for some.

Great host - wish him the best. Location in the heart of medina but not in the heat of its central streets. Good room with comfortable bed and heater.

Wish there was fresh orange juice in the morning instead of orangina (or smth similar)

What you have for the price is quite good. The riad is well located and the room are sufficiently clean. The staff is open to help and support you. The room is big enough and the place even not being big result quiet.

Unfortunately our room was smelling very bad due to the sewer. After we informed the staff the used a product to reduce the smell that unfortunately didn't change the situation. The brekfast could be improved but in the same time considering what you pay in one of the most touristic city of Marocco is ok. The main hall of the riad does not make you the feeling to be in a real riad but more in a traditional house due to the size, lack of water and garden.

We where the only ones staying their at the time so we felt like we had the whole place to our selves. It was in a central location, not to far from the blue gate and close to most attractions.

It would be a little challenging to find it on your own or with out a GPS. So would definitely recommend taxi pic up and meeting the staff at the blue gate.

The best thing about the whole riad was the host Salah. He was very nice and helpful. The room was clean and the riad is located in a great location. The breakfast was also great :-). Thank you

- Good and safe location (10min from blue gate by walk) - Cleaning every day - For Morrocan standards the breakfast is above average (I would still suggest to add some vegetable, fruits, less sweet/sugar stuff in general) - This riad is comparing to others actually run professionally by a good manager Salah, he was helpful thorough our stay - I think this riad is very close to 4* hotels, you won't find a better value for that money in Fes Medina

- Nothing, maybe lack of natural light but that's the case with every riad

I loved the decor, the location was great, pretty close to everything. The staff was so sweet and really helpful. Roof top terrace has a great view and a comfy seating area.

It’s not something that bothered me, but there are a lot of stairs

Beautiful riad with exceptional staff who went out of their way to prepare us an early breakfast and walked us out of the medina to get a taxi for an early departure. Rooms were spacious and the roof top terrace had great views.

The staff was great: Fatima and Salah were very attentive and helpful throughout our stay; also Julie was great. Great breakfast and a lovely terrace to look at the views and the sky at night.

Little natural light in the room
