Riad Andalib

We spent 3 nights at Riad Andalib and it was such a fabulous riad. And I spent a lot of time researching our options. The riad is incredibly well run and is clearly a passion project for the owner who does his best to greet every guest upon arrival and each morning at breakfast. And not just a greeting, he takes the time to help you make the most out of your time in Fes. No detail has been left to chance, from the design of the rooms to the breakfast options. Everything is well maintained, clean and tastefully decorated. The staff is friendly and responsive. The location is perfect -- just outside the medina, making arrival and departure easy. Raibal ensures you know the best way to get to and from the medina for maximum enjoyment. He recommended a masterful guide for a tour of Fes, another passionate Fes local who loves history. The common areas are a terrific option to relax in the afternoon, after a day exploring and before dinner. We enjoyed the breakfast offered each morning and also the dinner one night during our stay. For a comfortable and most pleasant stay in Fes, this is THE place to be.

A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square. Visiting Morocco from the UK, we have just had three wonderful nights stay at Riad Andalib, located in the exciting Medina of Fes. Built around an ornately decorated quadrangle, with a trickling water fountain at its centre, this beautifully restored traditional yet modern Riad is a calm, delightful and conveniently located place to stay when visiting Fes. The hand carved plasterwork decorations on the walls and ceilings are incredible, demonstrating the skill and dedication of many craftsmen. The rooms are well equipped, WiFi everywhere, with plenty of hot water and comfortable beds. The food is exquisite: large breakfasts fit for a King & Queen to set guests up nicely for a day visiting the sights of Fes. And the dinners are delicious: the best tagines and couscous we’ve had so far on our trip to Morocco. We received a very warm welcome from the owner, and all the staff, together with a super helpful brief and advice about visiting the Souks (including how to avoid getting lost). The Riad is also accessible by road, meaning you can be dropped right at the door by a taxi and avoid the difficulty of trying to carry luggage through crowded narrow walkways deep in the Medina. The name of this Riad, Andalib, translates as Nightingale and has inspired our choice of the famous song by Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole (and many others) to title this review. Thank you to all the staff for a memorable stay. Very highly recommended to others visiting Fes.

Fabulous by any standards. A charming, warm host, listening to absolutely everything, an extraordinary welcome with the history of Fez and excellent advice. The staff is very attentive Everything is perfect Rooms, quiet, succulent kitchen, location at the gates of the medina No hesitation to have to book
