What a beautiful property with an amazing staff dedicated to making your stay memorable. It is a wonderful spot. Thanks to Yasmine, Alex and the staff for a wonderful visit!!

Yasmine was an amazing hostess! She made our touring of Fes a pleasant experience. Her expertise, and that of the staff, was a great benefit. The decor is the absolute best!

10/10 Exceptional

We spent several nights at the Riad Le Calife and were very impressed with the facility, service and hospitality. The food was excellent and the attention to our requirements far exceeded expectations. They are true ambassadors to FEZ and want their clients to have a great experience. We would recommend their Riad as a good selection to relax while enjoying the sites and experiences within Fez and area.
Charles, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a beautifully renovated old riad in the Fes medina. The staff and management are wonderful and made us feel very cared for. We received great advice on how to optimize our time in the medina and restaurant options outside of the riad. Riad Le Calife's food is also excellent. The rooms are very comfortable as are the common areas such as the courtyard and dining rooms. Its location is very good as well with quick access to car-accessible streets and cabs. We highly recommend a stay at Riad Le Calife

All-around incredible

Everything was incredible! The Riad itself was beautiful - the rooms, the reception, the courtyard, all of it. The employees are lovely, and the owner Alex was incredibly kind. We had a great conversation with him about the Riads history, and Morocco itself, and appreciated the extra effort that we could tell he puts in for his guests. The location itself is great as well. You owe it to yourself to have the welcome dinner; Chef Fatima is incredible. In our 12 days in Morocco, the two dinners that we had at the restaurant were our favorite meals. Not only is the food great, but the views of Fes from the restaurant are incredible as well.

Wonderful Riad for a stay in Fes

Riad Calife is a wonderful little hotel in the old part of Fes. The property and rooms are beautifully decorated with a blend of Moorish and French architecture. The rooftop terrace and restaurant area offers a great view of the oldest part of the city. The staff is very friendly and extremely helpful. Highly recommended!

Excellent property for a stay in the old medina. Staff and service was all excellent as well. We enjoyed the breakfast upstairs. Room was very clean and convenient in all respects.

10/10 Exceptional

Riad le Calife is a great place to stay. The owners/staff will do EVERYTHING possible they can to maximize your fes experience! The property including the rooms are renovated in stunning archetypical moroccan decor. Those prople with any mobility issue should request a room on a lower floor.

A hidden gem

I cannot recommend Raid Le Calife enough. The best place I have stayed in for years. If you want to experience Fez and Morocco, then this is the place for you. A great location and wonderful rooms and facilities. The owners, Yasmine and Alex and their excellent team, were always there to help and make our stay memorable. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

One of the friendliest and best decorated hotels I've ever been to in my entire life. If I could, I'd give them six out of five stars.

10/10 Exceptional

Simply put, we have never felt more welcome in anywhere we have ever stayed. Yasmine and Alex were incredible hosts, and have a beautiful and traditional Riad, which is excellently decorated. Yasmine and Alex go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and safe in the city, and options to explore the local area. Delicious food at the riad (some of the best we ate in Morocco) and provided great suggestions for other places to eat. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Fes.
Benjamin, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Loved it!

Beautiful riad, tucked away in a side street. Slightly steep walk but fairly short from Cinema Amal (5 minutes). Very tastefully done, great attention to detail. Friendly staff, helpful with recommendations for places to visit and where to eat. Fabulous views from rooftop, enjoyed evening sitting out. Would highly recommend, great value for money. Would love to return one day. Only feedback would be re breakfast. More choice needed eg with fruits and types of omelette and also bakery selection. A selection to self-serve would work well in the lovely rooftop restaurant.

A wonderful stay in a stunning hotel

This is an absolute gem of a hotel! We received the warmest possible hospitality from the owners (Alex and Jasmine). They made us feel so welcome and showed so much pride in Fez and Morocco. Our room was absolutely luxurious and a real treat. All of the staff at the hotel were warm, welcoming, and so helpful, whether with dinner recommendations or sights to see. We are veteran travellers that spend up to 60 nights per year in hotels, but the Riad Le Calife stands out. I cannot say enough good things about it. We will definitely be back.

Alex & Jasmine are wonderful, they set us up with a fantastic guide for our first full day in Fez. Had their lovely staff escort us to help get our Petite Taxis, scheduled an unbelievable Hammam/Massage experience as well as a wonderful dinner for two on their rooftop terrace in house restaurant. Can not recommend Riad le Calife highly enough 11/10 Stars!!!

Stunning Oasis

Wow! This truly is a stunning place to stay. The attention to detail is amazing. Staff are attentive, helpful, kind. The owners Alex and Yasmine are the most incredible hosts - they really are passionate about what they do and do everything to make your stay the best it could be. A truly remarkable experience for which I cannot thank them enough.

Our experience at the Riad Le Calife was fabulous. The service, rooms and environment are incredible. We highly recommend it. Yasmine is an extraordinary host who modifies depending on the need for each client. Merci!

10/10 Exceptional

It seems all the Riad‘s in Morocco are difficult to find and you cannot get dropped off at the door. So for the first time you need someone to show you the way. After that, it’s a piece of cake. This place was no exception in that I needed help finding it But for two dollars they helped me and also carried the luggage.
James, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

When you enter Riad Le Calife in Fes, Morocco, you enter the tales of 'One Thousand and One Nights'. The beauty, and mystery of the place are overwhelming. Each room is taken from a fairy tale, the hosting couple who created the place are generous in their welcoming and help, the staff are warm and helpful, the restaurant to remember. We recommend it whole heartedly and cannot wait to return!!
