Dar D'or Fes

Food was wonderful. They looked after us like family.

Simply the Best

What made this road special was the service provided by Namir, his family and staff, it was faultless.. They were attentive, kind and went out of their way to help people. He assisted my partner with finding a car parking spot, carried our luggage upstairs and down. The riad was very well maintained and was very clean. It was comfortable and quiet. Good WiFi. It was in a handy location 20-25 mins walk to the tanneries Each morning the breakfast changed slightly - different fruit, cake, yoghurt. We very much enjoyed the evening meal we had at the riad - 3 courses, all well prepared. Thank you so much for giving us a wonderful stay.

The hotel is very close to the Medina and also to shops and restaurants, bank machines, etc. just on the outside of the Medina. The location is very very good. The building is beautifully renovated in traditional Moroccan style and the breakfast were was outstanding Other guests told us that dinners were also excellent. Namir and his staff were outstanding and when my vehicle got towed, they went to a great deal of effort helping get it resolved. You cannot go wrong booking this hotel.

This riad (a traditional style of accommodation in Morocco) is not easy to find. If you’re using Google Maps it will tell you to turn into an alley that looks like you ought not to turn into; but turn in and go most of the way through until you see the tiny sign and speaker on the wall. Once you find it you’ll be glad you did. It is a gorgeous building and the staff was friendly and very helpful. When my prearranged tour fell through, he was able to get me on a last minute replacement that saved that part of my vacation. He also brews a mean mint tea. That said, there are a couple of caveats to mention. First, the property is not handicap accessible- at all. There are fairly steep, narrow stairs everywhere so if you use a cane or crutch or just have bad knees, this might not be for you. The staff person spoke very little English but with the miracle of Google Translate on my phone and the fragment of high school French I remember, it was no problem communicating what needed to be said or understood. The room was a bit small but the air conditioning was powerful (a godsend when it’s close to 40 degrees Celsius/100 degrees F), and the bed was so comfortable that I almost didn’t want to leave for my tour the next day. So, with those considerations in mind, I still would absolutely recommend Dar D’or Fes to anyone staying in Fes- it’s beautiful, comfortable, and close to several restaurants in easy walking distance.
