This place is awesome! From the very start, with correspondence by email to Hamin the receptionist, (which by the way was very prompt), to the awesome service throughout our whole stay! Hamin, Anas Amine, and Fatah, went out of there way to make our 26th wedding anniversary a very memorable time! We ate supper there at the Riad and it... More

The riad is exquisite and has been restored to a very high standard - everywhere you will find a feast for the eye. The location in the medina is good and it is quite simple to find one's way to the gate for taxi etc. Dinner in the riad was our greatest treat - not only was the food of... More

This place is fantastic! Really beautiful architecture right in the Medina, which means you can do most of the sightseeing by foot. We had dinner there for 25EUR pp, which I think is expensive but the food was truly amazing. Breakfast was excellent as well. I wish I could stay more time! We hired a guide through them for 25EUR,... More

We cannot say enough good things about Ryad Alya. The warmth and sincerity of the staff is particularly noteworthy. The food was excellent as was the spa which we thoroughly enjoyed. The proximity to the Medina is perfect. Best to let the Ryad arrange your taxi and any guide. The price is a bargain for all you get especially the... More

This ryad in Fes is beautiful. I had a good reception on arrival. Staff friendly, although little bit pushy regarding services offered by the hotel. Khalid, the owner is a great guy, taking time to have a conversation with guests. The dinner I had at the ryad was authentic, and of high quality. To stay inj such a beautiful Ryad... More

This is the place to be in Fez in winter as in summer. The beautiful palace of 1001 nights has everything to make you happy and feel comfortable. Lovely rooms, clean sweet looking bathrooms, superb breakfast, good silent location, roof terrace with splendid views, a very nice modern moroccan owner who cares about you, central heating in winter, safe parking...

Very friendly, nice suite, nice ambience. Downsides: overly pushy in trying to persuade us to dine in the riad. We were also surprised to be handed an envelope by the manager on our departure indicating that a contribution towards the staff was expected. Water was cold until we asked to have it turned on. Room was cold and heating was... More

The Ryad Alya is exquisite in every way. The owner left much of the beautiful hand done moroccan art of the historical Moroccan building. At the same time he did a brilliant job of updating it with towel warmers and all the comforts of a luxurious palace, (including heat which is not always the case in other ryads). The rooms... More

At Riad Alya we spent the best time in Morocco. We stayed in riads before, but had never enjoyed it so much. The place is a splendid mini-palace which is peaceful and very central, just a few minutes by walk from the Fes Medina. It was renovated a couple of years ago by the owner/manager who used local artisans and... More

we stayed here as a family in a suite where the two bedrooms opened into a common salon which opened into the ryad courtyard. (fes suite). the look and feeling of this ryad is comfortable, high style moroccan-hip, and the staff feel more like an adopted family than staff. they are friendly, watchful and welcoming. breakfast (included) and dinner (additional)...
