The Riad Al Ansari is a beautiful place within walking distance of the medina. The very personal attention the owner and staff gave me helped ensure that my stay in Fez was all I wanted it to be.

10/10 Exceptional

Staff were attentive and friendly, breakfast was great, everything was pristinely clean and the room was beautiful. We were sad to leave! The Riad is on the edge of the medina which means it is quiet, but it is worth contacting the Riad when you first arrive, especially if it’s night time, to meet you at the nearest gate. They’re very happy to help!

Our favorite Riad while we were in Morocco! Excellent location to see the Medina and Old Town. All within walking distance. Service was top notch, the host gave excellent recommendations for food, sight seeing and provided a delicious breakfast each morning. The room was beautiful, mosaic tile work everywhere, clean, comfortable and quiet. We loved our stay here and highly recommend it!

Location is just two minutes from entrance to the medina. The riad was just renovated few years ago, room is classic, clean and living there was a joy. Free breakfast worth a praise, we lived there five nights and each breakfast got a slightly different bread. The owner is an elegant and super nice French lady, making us just like at home. It’s definitely a road worth staying.

We’ve stayed at multiple Riads in Morocco, Al Ansari was by far the best. It was serene, quiet, beautiful and luxurious. But the best part was Hicham, he was amazing. He was as kind, patient and helped us with our every need. The place was amazing, but Hicham made it spectacular by ensuring we had everything we needed, and even followed us out one morning to ensure that we got our breakfast; he also texted a day after we left to ensure that the private transfer from the Riad was satisfactory. If we come back- we will surely stay here. Thank you so much for making our stay so wonderful, Hicham!!

Welcoming Riad

The best hotel we have stayed in through Hotels.com. The fittings were excellent, beautiful Riad building. Breakfast and dinner served were very good. Thoroughly recommend but it is difficult to find but persevere for a lovely experience.

Riad Al Ansari is a beautiful riad which has been recently renovated to the highest standard. The rooms are spacious and airy with high ceilings and Moroccan architectural detail. I had a lovely room with a view of the courtyard. Most importantly, Hicham, the manager, was very hospitable and welcoming. He is charming and made me feel totally comfortable and safe. As well as eating at the riad for breakfast and for one dinner, I followed his recommendations for dining and was very impressed. Everything about this riad was excellent, including the location. I have no hesitation recommending it.

This riad is beautifully designed with a touch of european feel and large open space. The room was spacious, very clean and had a balcony. The manager and owners are all very friendly. The area is quiet but also felt safe. It is walking distance to all the shops and restaurants within the medina. Just make sure you get dropped off by the parking lot near the hotel. Our tour bus dropped us off at a different location so we had trouble finding the Riad. Management was quick to respond to Expedia messages and had someone come out to find us and bring us the the Riad. The thai restaurant near the hotel was also very good and clean. Overall a great experience and highly recommended.

This Riad was amazing! The manager was outstanding! I forget how to spell his name, but it started with an H. We also met the owner, a very hospitable and kind woman. This place is immaculate! The design and decor are so open and pleasing to the eye. Our accommodations were very comfortable. We had a room with an upstairs and downstairs bedrooms. Comfortable beds, very nicely decorated. Bathrooms were upscale. “H” really looked out for us. He actually met us in the parking lot. He gave us a lot of good information and kept the scammers away from us. Believe me there are some all over. Of all the Riads we stayed at I’d have to say this was my favorite! If you’re going to Fez, try and stay here. It is easy walking to the Medina and it’s so worth it.

This was the perfect Riad for our stay in Fez. The owner and staff were so friendly and always helpful. Great breakfast, uniquely enjoyable dinner all came together to make this hotel the highlight of our stays in Morocco. Easy access from the airport and train station and a very short walk to the heart of the Medina and the Blue Gate. Can’t say enough about this hotel. Highly recommended!!

Great service, Clean & Comfortable, Good location

We enjoyed two nights (29-30 March 2024). The Riad is super clean. Our superior suite on the top floor with three beautiful large windows and a very comfortable king size bed was spacious. The bathroom and large shower was also spacious with towels, a hand wash cloth and bathrobes. There is a nice roomy area with two chairs to enjoy some relaxing time. The breakfast was excellent. Check in & check out was very good. The pictures on the website are accurate. A special 'thank you' to Hicham for his excellent service and kindness. His English is great.

Experiência maravilhosa!!! Um Riad de extremo bom gosto, refinado. Excelente atendimento, acolhedor, nos sentimos em casa. Café da manhã excepcional, variedade de pães, geleias, suco de laranja natural, ovos, café e leite. Fomos recepcionados com o tradicional chá de Marrocos e doces típicos. Riad limpo, roupa de cama de qualidade. Fomos recepcionados pelo Hicham, muito atencioso e prestativo, nos deu dicas de lugares p visitar e restaurante próximo. A propósito, o Riad é muito bem localizado, fica a dois minutos caminhando da Medina. Os proprietários também são excelentes pessoas, atenciosos e acolhedores.
