Positive: From the moment we stepped into Riad Le Calife, it felt like walking into a time machine. The thick walls of this ancient building seem to whisper thousands of stories from the people who passed through Fez over the centuries – Muslims, Jews, French, Christians – all somehow still present in the atmosphere of the house. Then, as you move deeper inside, you’re suddenly in the early 20th century: elegant Art Deco pieces blending effortlessly with Islamic ornaments and artwork. Old radios and a 1950s piano stand like small, nostalgic time capsules – quiet reminders of another era. It’s exactly in this interplay between ancient, vintage, and modern that the true charm of this boutique riad lies. Yasmine & Alex, the owners, carefully arranged every detail in the Riad,  from the paintings on the walls to the carefully chosen ornaments in each corner. More than once, we caught ourselves thinking, 'How did they even think of this?' They genuinely enjoyed our enjoyment, making us feel special at every single moment. Their generous spirit of hospitality clearly “infected” their staff (Fatima, Said, Mohamed), as well: always present, always kind, but never intrusive. Another thing we loved: guests actually looked at each other, smiled, and started conversations – something surprisingly rare these days. Perhaps it’s the atmosphere of the house, or maybe it’s the (un)intentionally slightly weaker Wi-Fi signal that nudges you to be present rather than always online. Either way, it works. Our stay at Riad Le Calife was a unique journey into the past while still enjoying all the comforts of modern life. It was the perfect getaway before getting immersed in the 9,000 walkways of the mysterious medina of Fez. We left with the feeling that we had not just stayed in a hotel, but lived in a beautiful, carefully curated story. Aleksandra and Jovan

Summary: Excellent, beyond expectations, strong 5 star rating.

Positive: I don't give out many 10s, but this place deserves it. Alex and Yasmin run a top notch service, gorgeous Riad. The arranged dinner on arrival is well worth it, probably one of the better meals we had in Fes and the breakfast was also quite delicious. The also arranged private your guide Aziz lasted 7 hours through the Medina and he was such a patient, knowledgeable, and helpful guide. Everyone who works there is so helpful and friendly. Do not hesitate to book here!

The place is gorgeous, quiet, comfortable. The rooms are clean, beautiful and quiet. I slept like a baby. You feel like royalty coming here without paying a royal price. The food is exceptional, so good we decided to only eat Fatima's dinners each night we stayed here. To Jasmine, Alex, Said and all the staff, thank you for a magical time, we will never forget it.

Positive: I really have no idea where to start. We arrived at the train station and were picked up by our driver who was arranged by the riad. Once we arrived we were welcomed by Yasmine the Riad owner and was given a thorough description of fes and what to expect from it, places to go see, eat, shop from etc. We found this something very thoughtful of her as a first time tourist to fes you really have no idea where to go and what places are worth visiting except when recommended by people living in the city. We were given a full tour of the Riad, which was really something else, it's like coming out straight from a movie scene.Our room was located on the roof which gives you a breathtaking view once you go up and its the place where you usually have your breakfast or dinner served by moniem or mohamed both the sweetest staff ever. Our room was big in comparison with all the riads we've stayed in, in morocco. The room has a colorful glass doors where when the sun hits at the morning or at the sunset makes such a beautiful reflection inside the room. The day we arrived we asked to dine in and you usually need to ask before hand if you want any special dishes as they are freshly made by their in house cook, and let me tell you it was a one unforgettable experience. The next we arranged through the riad to be picked up with a tour guide to have tour and you can pretty much customize the whole day and what you want to see, where you want to go, but if you'ld like an exceptional tour ask for Samia, she will definitely make your day. Alex the owner of Riad le Calife where also delighted to sit and speak with us about his experience in fes and the full background of how he came up with the design of Riad Le Calife and his devotion for antique collection that will be shown in every space, room of the Riad.
