Ryad Mabrouka

This riad was the most beautiful one we stayed in during our trip. It's located in a quiet alley, just a five-minute walk from the old city. The environment inside is elegant, the rooms are spacious and bright, and the breakfast is delicious and beautifully presented. The service is also excellent. If you're visiting Fes, I highly recommend staying here.

The hotel is a typical Moroccan traditional courtyard-style hotel, Riad/Ryad. We took a taxi from the train station, and the driver dropped us off at the "Blue Gate" of the old city. Google Maps was a bit unreliable, so we relied on locals for directions. The staff were very helpful, showing us around the gardens and rooftop. The rooms were clean and spacious, and we stayed for two nights. The breakfast tableware was beautiful and very Moroccan. My companion, Dongdong, asked if they had omelets, which were supposed to be served the next morning, but the staff immediately made them for us from the kitchen. For dinner, we tried authentic Moroccan couscous at the hotel, but it wasn't quite to our taste. What was particularly heartwarming was that during those days of heavy rain, the train tracks were damaged, and Xiaohongshu (a Chinese social media platform) reported that trains were suspended. The staff called the train station several times to confirm if trains were running, and we finally left on time. Although it was the off-season and there were few guests, the staff and manager were exceptionally warm and attentive! I wrote about my experience on Xiaohongshu (Rednote, China's famous social media platform), and I'm sharing screenshots here.

The hotel boasts a beautiful, comfortable, warm, and elegant environment, typical of Moroccan architecture. The owner was incredibly hospitable and attentive, providing us with tea and refreshments and introducing us to the sightseeing routes in the ancient city of Fez. The breakfast was plentiful and exquisite. After check-out, the owner even helped with our luggage and called a taxi, which deeply touched us. We will definitely stay at this hotel again and recommend it to our friends.

This guesthouse is conveniently located within the old town, close to the parking lot. The interior is elegantly decorated, small yet fully equipped, and the service is warm and attentive, making for a pleasant stay. Highly recommended!
