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.

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.

Lost in Fed

This place is beautiful. However, like all Riads I have stayed in there is no elevator. The Riad was not accessible by car and if you wish to venture out, you will need a guide. We decided to go nowhere to prevent the panic and anxiety of being lost in a foreign country with no language skills.

An intimate luxury riyad in Fes

There is a zylion of ryid in Fes, and the choice was difficult. I picked road le Calife on a guess. I was so right, the place is beautiful, clean, quiet, charming, romantic. The service is implacabile. We stay in the Diamond suite, spacious, well equipped, amazing bed and bathroom. The staff is truly taking care of you. We stay first night for diner Friday is couscous, and a real excelent one. The gray win was good too. Breakfast is nice with a view from the roof top. Finally Alex the owner knows Fes by heart, and can give you all the good addresses or book a guided tour. We will be back, that's for sure. And look on the website or call Alex for a discounted rate compared to major platforms

Our stay at Riad Le Calife was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The service was truly exceptional — every member of the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cared for. They were incredibly helpful, friendly, and always ready with a warm smile or great advice about exploring Fez. The food was outstanding — beautifully prepared, full of flavor, and served with care in a stunning setting. Breakfasts were a real highlight each morning! The property itself is breathtaking — a beautifully restored riad that perfectly blends traditional Moroccan charm with modern comfort. Every corner feels elegant and peaceful, from the rooftop terrace to the courtyard and the rooms themselves. Riad Le Calife is a true gem in Fez. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and can’t wait to return. Highly recommended to anyone visiting this magical city!

10/10 Exceptional

Utrolig vakker Riad med kun 8 rom. Lå som en rolig oase i en yrende Fez. Deilig å kunne komme tilbake til etter spennende men også slitsomme opplevelser gjennom dagen. Vi ble veldig godt ivaretatt av personale og eier hele døgnet- følte oss veldig velkommen. God mat og godt vedlikehold i gammel stil. Hvis det er noe vi kunne ønsket bedre, så er litt kraftigere wi-fi. Men alt i alt hadde vi et deilig og fantastisk opphold på Riad’en

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.

Magique!

Magique! Le couple de propriétaires sont adorables, ainsi que le personnel : aux petits soins. Le Riad est une oasis de paix et un musée à lui-même ! Nous avons été surclassés : chambre de prince. Attentifs au détail dans la décoration aussi, c'est génial

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.
Rukaiya, 4-night trip

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.

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!

Un séjour de princesses au riad !

Le séjour dans le riad de Yasmine et Alexandre a vraiment été à la hauteur de nos attentes. Magnifique riad decoré avec goût ! Le service a été impeccable, avec un personnel aux petits soins (merci à toute l'équipe). Yasmine et Alexandre sont des propriétaires adorables et nous ont communiqué leurs meilleurs adresses sur Fes pour que nous découvrions le plus de choses possibles ! Un vrai plaisir de les rencontrer et de partager avec eux ! Poussez les portes de ce riad et vous serez enchantez !

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.

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.

Absolutely an amazing property! Was in awe from the lobby, to the room (Topaze) to the rooftop and dining. This Riad did not disappoint and Yasmine/Alex and the staff- especially Sayid- were fantastic. They did everything to ensure we had a safe and enjoyable time in Fes. They met our van upon arrival , made us dinner reservations and had staff walk us to the Taxi area when we left. Could not have chosen a nicer option. Fully earned the 5star review.
